Ay guys my name is Bruno Cesar I am Brazilian, I posted a video of the song "HUMAN NATURE" in honor of Michael Jackson, so I decided to record a version with just guitar solo.
Adam mate, you captured this song amaingly and made it look effortless as the same time. Truly gifted my friend and I wish I could have you as my guiratist.
@crescentridge Just posted a vid response of your arrangement, hope you like it, totally loved what you did with the song! had to try it out, was great fun to learn, quite tricky figuring out the intro melody from watching your vid!
Hey Adam, I love how you were able to play the intro up high like the record. The bass line adds so much. I do love this song and do my own arrangement with vocals. I've adapted a style with open string chords to accompany myself. It's fuller if I play in the lower register, because my guitar doesn't have the depth that yours has. I need to redo the video, but I'd love for you to give it a listen and see what you think. I do Overjoyed with vocals using mostly your arrangement. pinochioII
Another HOT one!!! I'm on a Michael Jackson tip this week, celebrating his death anniversary and its so wonderful to hear you play..So glad I stumble upon you.. WOW!!!
@1212surface I struggled with this, too, so I ran the video through AmazingX to slow it down, and then I was able to pick out where the bass lines up with the melody. Once you have that in your head, you can groove on it pretty well. I love this arrangement, and I love playing it.
your an amazing guitarist, if i ever had the opportunity to get lesson's... I surely would take advantage of it! good luck and keep spreading your talent!
@1212surface Well, that's where practice comes in! Seriously though - take a few classical guitar lessons...it's all about the brain being able to handle the info, go with small steps!
Adam, Im your biggest fan. If you ever come to Rio de Janeiro, you have a place to stay! And i play the 7 string guitar ans know all the musicians around here, we can do some cool stuff.
i really like the 2:03 part of the song.. and wherever that part repeats.. i think you really did that part very well.. human nature is more about the fleetingness than the bass... the running melody.. it is light.. like water flowing through a small brook.. and there's light glistening..i was in the car.. and i couldn't wait to hear the way you played that part again..it's magical.. thank you :)
you are a guitar god.. i tried to play some of your songs and practiced for weeks and months, and still i cannot do it .. i have some of my own videos on my channel but it sucks.. your fingerstyle technique is great and i realized that not everyone can do it..
Everytime I watch one of your videos I find I spend the rest of the day locked in my house (trying) to play my guitar! Excellent song and what a wonderful version!
Another AMAZING MJ tune...no one does them better! You are an inspiration to me and I can't wait to go and pick up the guitar... Merry Christmas to you and God Bless!
adam i don't know english very good but i try to say to you what is coming from my heart, i love you very much all in my family know you , cause i watch you everytime ,(you and sungha ), please thumps up everybody if you think that from adams face comes happiness and second life which is inside his soul when he plays guitar , im am happy when i listen . i love you addam i tried to tell what i wanted :) you are inspiration .. I bought acoustic guitar to go on your way. please watch my vids :)
just like ChadPriceMusic, I just feel compelled to comment on this one...you are the man and i always love your stuff, but this....this is just amazing...my favorite mj song by far and you def did it justice...keep em comin man....cant wait to get out to a show and c u live
wow this is great. NIce bassline. I think I would recognize you playing this without knowing that its so cause some things in the bassline I heard you do before.
this is gorgeous....i really respect what you do, it's got so much soul and passion. i'm a huge mj fan and this is one of my favourites so i'm so glad you did this one :-) beautiful
Long time listener/subscriber, first time commenter lol. I was compelled to tell you how amazing I think this is...just brilliant man. All your vids are sick but this is probably my favourite MJ song ever and definitely my favourite that you have done. THANK YOU FOR THIS!
This is so WOW, Human Nature is my absolutely favourite MJ song, thanks so much for playing it. The Beginning and the end is... I have no words ... Greetings from Germany, regina + erik .
This is absolutely brilliant, Adam. I think this is one of your best MJ renditions, and that's saying A LOT considering your others! There's just something about this one. It sounds like a mixed recording. The dynamics are great, and the way you separated the bassline and the melody from everything else is just mind-blowing!
@GlassTuxedo Thanks! Glad you noticed, as I did actually use a different recording technique this time...one mic, one direct line. I had so much noise in the environment, I figured I'd try something new. Also - I had to really check out the exact bassline. Thanks for listening closely!
Gosh Adam, I was hoping you'd play this for soooo long. Absolutely worth the wait. This sounds incredible mate. Fantastic work. That intro is killer! :D
Typical Adam Rafferty sound..Bass, intro, picking...blabla..... Yes, sounds a little bit like Igor P. and CorradoEquilibrati but thats the same song and has a catchy sound. You can play it reverse. Than its different.
I think every Version has it´s personality and "Wow-effect-parts" and thats the essential.
Adam is in an elite class of finger style guitarists with Emmanuel and Huttlinger. No disrespect to Igor, but Mr. Rafferty is world class. And a classy guy. On Thanksgiving, thank you Adam for your talent.
aside from arrangement similarities and stuff, i feel like ya'll should at least give props to igor presnyakov because i feel like a lot of yours/other style and influence comes from him. no disrespect, in fact, all respect. one love, tim.
@XredruM Clearly you cannot differentiate stylistically, I listened to both arrangements and clearly they're completely different compositional personalities involved in the arrangements. Nevertheless i'm sure adam will take your condescension as a compliment..!
@XredruM I have to say i think its extremely rude of you to suggest who Adam should be paying respect to!!! no disrespect to Igor but i would suggest his inspiration is more rock orientated and it shows when he plays more dance/funk stuff, also Jazz,Blues,Funk originated in the U.S not Moscow!! Do ya think Adams influences might be closer to home??? And as for arrangement,did you hear that intro?? also its in the same key as MJ,s. i like Igors playing but you are way off the mark!!!!
@tonyd59 Not to counter your broad point, but your argument about Adam's influences being "closer to home" really carries no water. Foreigners are often some of the best students of American music. The Beatles and the Rolling Stones were British bands influenced by traditional American music, are you going to say they somehow suffered from being across the pond?
Gang, Adam here. Many of us guitar pickers are playing the same songs, so yes there is a similarity, at first. Go beyond that, listen to touch, groove, tone - and each of us pickers has a unique "voice". Music all that has nothing to do with race or nationality - it has strictly to do with talent and hours put in practice wise. Of course, if you are exposed to a style as a kid, you may have a leg up on someone coming to the style later in life, but that's from hours spent, not nationality.
@AkiraMusic I agree with you totally,i didnt mean to suggest a "foreigner" couldnt play Jazz,Funk,Blues etc merely that as Adam was a former blues/jazz player in Harlem,XreDrum,s suggestion seems ill-conceived and a tad disrespectful thats all.
@mrmrgitaro It's really not though. They are both solo acoustic guitar arrangements of the same song, but that's sort of where the similarities end. Adam and Igor have very different styles, and I think that definitely comes through with their respective versions of this piece.
Great job Adam!!! This is my favorite MJ song. You definitely did it justice my friend. I showed one of you vids to my guitar instructor Scott Morris, I'm a music student at Cal State Dominguez in Carson, CA. He loved it man, I'll send you a link of his trio
great job as always still mastering ur jackson 5 songs hope you can find a way to release ur michael jackson arrangements really interested in learning them!! and it seems that the bass is boosted here it fits well
to say that I really enjoy your music would be an incredible understatement, but I think more than anything I love watching how much you enjoy playing
@crescentridge it would take me a while to get used to playing with no nails.... I did one song like that and I was having trouble hearing the melody..... the intro and outro sounds very unique..... the hard listening payed off......:)
Smoothest acoustic funk on the planet -- love the sound your getting out of those bass notes. Just amazing... don't know what else to say, except thanks as always for the inspiration.
@crescentridge youre so familiar with the guitar.. i woulda slipped at least once doing that. do you practice the song over and over? or do you know the original song so well you can just have a general idea of the song and just wing the rest.

@BryanRason Well dude, other than the intro & outro (which are friggin hard especially with no nails!!!!) the rest of this is pretty easy! :-)

@crescentridge it would take me a while to get used to playing with no nails.... I did one song like that and I was having trouble hearing the melody..... the intro and outro sounds very unique..... the hard listening payed off......:)

How do you write your arrangements ?
realjuvelive 1 year ago
@realjuvelive I don't write. I listen listen listen to the original!!!!

@crescentridge youre so familiar with the guitar.. i woulda slipped at least once doing that. do you practice the song over and over? or do you know the original song so well you can just have a general idea of the song and just wing the rest.
im just amazed.
