[MrDizzyvonclutch]

Wallstreetathiest!?!?!?! that's probably george soros's sorry ass. When he is not busy destroying countries he is insulting good folk like Adam. Sorry for this adam i felt inspired!

[harisimotube]

This is so FUNKY that when I played the YouTube my lawn died!

Gotta have that tab. You definitely da man!

[SpecialCranky]

I love it, too!!

LG - Tanja ,)

[systemglitch]

Seriously mate. you have amazing feel, every note is totally clean and your recording setup is producing crazy awesome results.

[SualcGMAIL]

[Kockmicha]

I allways like the way you shake your head!! your style is wahnsinnig geil ;-)

[imranino]

Hi Adam, I love this one, def my favourite from the Chameleon CD! I started learning it in fact and this will make my life way easier! Cheers

[BasilWahn]

adam, really love how you are more into composing your own songs now! and I really like this one a lot. why bother arranging if you can compose like this! :-) cheers from vancouver, Basil

[crescentridge]

@BasilWahn What are you doing in Vancouver? Actually - these songs were composed a while ago...I'm just taking a cover song break now that the MJ cd is done!

[johnhorneguitar]

Groovin' so, so hard!

[milkman071]

Ill buy it. tabs everything. you are the best. Your A Jazz Player. I just started. Hopefully be good someday.

[Bogenmaas]

superduper ultra freakin awesome fingerstyle guitar playing!!

I didn't even realized it first while watching, but an increasing peculiar tension in my facial muscles told me ... mmmh, hey I'm smiling! :D

and it's just because the music is so coool!

thank you Adam! glad you're back! ;)

[DaDooM88]

i really like this one mr rafferty : ) i would be really amazed if you could do a lesson for this piece. would be happy even if its some basic explanation of what chords you use and maybe some tips for learning it, doing it all by ear is always pretty hard for me. thanks you adam, very well done. greets daniel

[crescentridge]

@DaDooM88 Daniel - will do one since I wrote it!!!

[guyfromostrava]

Slick as always!!!

[tedzxavier2011]

i've been waiting for months...finally you're back...busy with tours?..

[crescentridge]

@tedzxavier2011 Crazy busy my man!

[naddog180]

I soooo like this groove! Coolest!

[wallstreetatheist]

He's a funky, old, bald Sunga Jung.

[crescentridge]

@wallstreetatheist Hey who you callin old? :-) I am bald though, can't argue with ya there!

[wallstreetatheist]

@crescentridge I can't believe you responded to my comment!! Ahh! I'm a huge fan. You're probably the funkiest person alive and your note choice is superb. I learned much of "The Boogie Man" and your arrangement of "I wish" by ear. I hope you're alright with my blatant music theft :D

[amatamat55]

You are truly blessed with a gift Thank you for sharing,I looked you up on E music and bought your 2 Cd's so the blessing gos on on my L.A. driving. Once more thanks would have never found out about you if not for YouTube.

[crescentridge]

@amatamat55 Thank you! 

[TwanBraccoG]

Great tune, perfect to start the day with! What a groove... and such smooth playing :)

[RONDOC68]

Smooth as glass.

[crescentridge]

@RONDOC68 Thanks. Glass rhymes with ....oh, nevermind! :-)

[pauljyoon]

Adam! I have a dream to become a performer like you. I was wondering of you could see some of my videos and see what they're like? that would be amazing ! :)

[SaigonShredder]

Hey Bro! Very nice groove you got! I'm really not that far from you. I live outside Philly! Maybe our paths will cross someday, and when they do, we should definitely jam! keep on groovin'!!!! PeAcE!

[crescentridge]

@SaigonShredder I hope so!!!  Peace, Bro.

[270Gmoney]

How do you like your Snark? I love mine but be very careful with them they break very easy, ive been through like 3

[crescentridge]

@270Gmoney The li' ribber pads like to come off!

[trevorm1]

Love it!

[deathclamp]

Adam you put more feeling into a tune than any other artist I have ever seen, I really enjoy your tone. Please never stop! I really would like one day to see you in person. That groove is so smooth and relaxing. Your a tiger just purrring out a great tone. Great stuff bro.... please make it to FL some time.....please before I meet the worms. 

[JerryG1815]

WOW, great playing, and your not even Asian!!

[peperinjo]

Great tune Adam. What strings are you using?

[crescentridge]

@peperinjo These rea Elixir nanowebs, but I usually never ever record with these - :-)

[ThinkingDog06]

Bluesin'! Damn sweet! Fantastic as always Adam -- that 808 produces a deep bass, really wonderful sound (mostly because of the player, but the Maton does sound fine in your hands).  Keep the originals coming! Love the new CD as well. Thanks as always for the inspiration...

[crescentridge]

@ThinkingDog06 Dog, these originals are lurking on my CD's already, and it's time to get them out. I play them better now, and know how to get a better recorded sound (at least for now). Being a jazz cat under the hood, I always love the big bass...I know, I am not a purist!!! Stay tuned, more on the way -

[ThinkingDog06]

@crescentridge - yes, definitely time to focus on the originals -- they're fantastic (Simplicity is one of my favorite acoustic instrumental tunes of all time). The jazz influence is part of your unique style, anyway you're a music purist for sure my friend!

[wiggzilla]

Any brain or finger transplants available? Sign me. You are remarkable and I'm digging your groove. Please come to the SF Bay Area and let me know when and where. I'll be there grooving! (damn, 2:06, killer)

[crescentridge]

@wiggzilla Man - join my list. I often visit out there!!!

[MathijsMoonen]

Very nice, will you sell this guitar one day?!

[crescentridge]

@MathijsMoonen Sure, I'll give ya a good price!

[buggld]

I don't recognize your guitar? New one?

[crescentridge]

@buggld Had it a while....actually I have 2 - Maton Michael Fix Model EGB808 C - like the Tommy model, but with a cutaway and slightly different woods :-)

[buggld]

@crescentridge Ah, I see. It's beautiful and nice song!!

[staffansvahn]

sweet & groovy



[bodywithoutasoul]

Brilliant!

[CurtisThorpe]

Love this tune.

[bluesgurugod]

Grooooovy!!!

Nice job Adam.

[SplinterCell37]

sweet sounds, you sure now how to make her sing. lovely work there Adam! nice looking place there, too :)

[jeepcjay5]

Sounds a little bit like "Optimystical".

[crescentridge]

@jeepcjay5 Michael Fix's Tune?

[jeepcjay5]

@crescentridge

Yes... think the fist chord sounds similar.

[MHFROX]

As always...nothing but schweet...nothing to dislike. 

[DeuceWayne420]
