Adam Rafferty - S*he's Le@ving Home - Solo Acoustic Guitar

[ThatGuitarGirl2]

absolutely stunning!

[johnmac1221]

Love your style and this arrangement Adam! I was first introduced to it from seeing Josh Turner play it on his channel (he credited you as his source for the arrangement). You should check out his work as you would probably love what he's doing. His channel is 200000028. For the record, I don"t know Josh and have only recently become a fan of his work....and he's only a freshman in college. Oh well...keep posting great videos and best of luck

[crescentridge]

@johnmac1221 thank you so so much!

[4GETMENOT2011]

Well done

[SpaceShipRuthie]

You are a perfectionist. Beautiful rendition sir. Time to work on my pickin I suppose!

[timgilmore8888]

You make it look effortless. I am humbled

[hepbro]

beautiful Adam. You really bring a different prospective to this song. This sounds like a D tuning. Thanks for posting made my day.

[mc28x]

just 2 words.

Absolute class .

[zigi1231]

Adam is there anyway to buy this tab?

[venturesagogo]

WOW!  This is just Amazing! You are an Outstanding Guitar Player!!

5X5X5X5 Stars!!

~Matt~

[revmaxx]

had wished this on another guitarist player... Adam u just granted my wish... very beautifully done.

wish i can play a tenth as good as u... ur simply brilliant!!!

[kulmuck]

Bravo......

[20dasdave07]

love the sound of the baby taylor :D

[Olekiss]

Здорово!!!))

[guitarpromoter]

very nice

[opten17]

Adam.Adam.Adam.I kno0w you can't give tabs out willy nilly,but could you send me or give a video about some tips about playing this,because this tune just rips the heart out of me .allough this tune's arrangment is fine . i think more inportantly sublyty and fine touch through dynamics makes it a masterpiece

[krushnoi]

Fantastic! One guitar sounds better than a whole orchestra . At first I thought there had to be a backing guitar somewhere but I figured out it was just one player. Encore encore!

[MrWhizzpop]

goosebumps, superb mate!! well done!

[Judplay]

Adam,

Adam, I recall the time, years ago, when I first saw you play on You Tube. I'm still awestruck by your artistry. I just hope you never stop these great arrangements and performances. If you are so moved, you might do a little YT primer for us fans on the licensing thing. I'm not hip to the legalities you refer to, so just a passing thought might help us avoid future scrapes. All the Best!

[cdemaar]

This is just amazing. I have been a life long Beatles maniac, and I am floored by the connection you make as a musician to this song. This song is far more than a sum of it's parts. Thanks you so much for sharing.

[ClassicalGuitar1111]

Soulful!

Really good

[GuitarSlingerPK]

Thanks for sharing this. This song, and the whole album really, mean a lot to me, and it's wonderful seeing someone else who clearly loves it as much. Well done sir.

[350goonsquad]

amazing!!

[jvalentif]

Ok, I have just ordered your Stevie Wonder DVD in order to encourage you to publish the Beatles DVD. Is there anything else I could do to hurry you up?

Now serious man, what a great job.

[sunaJH]

Very nicely done:)

sunaj

[bennyboy1949]

This is some of the most beautiful playing I've heard. Magnificent!! The Taylor sounds incredible

[mistersillyous]

Brilliant... Hope to see you playing this one down the Half Moon on Friday ;)

[SterlingRe]

I've now checked out 3 or 4 of your videos and I'm actually stunned by how good you are. I don't mean amateur good either. You must be a teacher or do this in a more formal setting if not professionally. I'm not easily impressed. These covers are crazy good. You're a master and I'm a big fan.

[lilticklez]

@SterlingRe hes a professional with cd's and his own original pieces

[jonesvet]

mi cancion favorita de The Beatles... magnifica interpretacion... creo que ahora esta es mi version predilecta.

Felicitaciones

[stratocastof]

wahouuuu .. superbe !

[cantodeanjo]

simplesmente o melhor!!!

[MrIndustructable]

Did you pick this up all by ear, or did you find the tabular somewhere? It honestly sounds great

[EduardoSF]

Magnífico! Que inspiração!

[carvetop01]

Beautiful. That adjective seems inadequate. I curse my lack of vocabulary.

Cheers,

allen

[WhyteRomeo]

@carvetop01 exquisite perhaps?

[carvetop01]

@WhyteRomeo

That works for me!

[soc3chappd]

Absolutely beautiful, one of my faviourite Beatles songs. As well as a wonderful melody the lyrics are so cleverly put together.

[danialmills]

This is brilliant mate!

[crescentridge]

Thanks!!!

[evil1stardragon]

this song at the beginning sounds so much like ff8 when you got back to edeas house listen to it you will see what im talking about

[Lizal299]

definately TRUE :D

haha

[DavidbeeSuper]

Great!

[briandillon120]

This is probably the most classically influenced/classically sounding I've heard Adam play.

Different kind of funk than what we normally hear, lol

[BlueGuitars1]

Adam you play so beatifulley, this Is one of my favourite Beatle Songs Thank you for sharing It with us all, all the Best,

Adrian Warren.

[08lavery]

That is awsome...I'm selling my guitar :)

[08lavery]

That, is awsome...I'm selling my guitar

[IgorGuittar]

wonderfull!

[PINuXxD]

he looks like he needs to do a shit haha look his face lol xD

[davidhrich]

Mr. Rafferty, This is exquisite work. I love the way you adapted one of my favorite songs to your style. This is as wonderful! Thank you.

[tighttritenight]

As much as I love to watch you play, it is so much more wonderful when I close my eyes and just simply listen. This is beautiful work.

[GSRobbert]

Amazing version! You have a very beautifull tone! Really enjoy listening to this version!

[keytarpimp]

Beautiful.

[originalsavi]

pare che caga con la faccia

[sepulchre10]

[bugsunplugged]

EXCELLENT!

[retsofnalanosaj]

Gorgeous arrangement....thanks Adam

[StevenNewit]

Exquisite feeling.

[paxpaul]

Brilliant! Thank you for playing and posting this!

"She's Leaving Home" is one of the first Beatles songs I loved when I was a kid, and it's always had a special place in my heart. You just made me fall in love with the song all over again. Thank you--I cannot explain how deeply this touched me.

[KingMallet]

fuck off u stupid fucking faggot

[paxpaul]

Excuse me?!? What the hell brought THAT response, KingMallet?

[BirdmanWayne94]

Wonderful! I love how beautiful this arrangement is.

[fatcornkid]

Dude, that was amazing! I LOVE that song! Sgt. Pepper's was one of my favorite albums! Yes, it was with Frampton and the Bee Gees but I learned so much about the Beatles! Thank you for blessing us with your music! God Bless You!

[nearlyheadlessguitar]

Just ducky!

[FilipeCaldeira88]

very pleasant to listen

[markguest1955]

Beautiful. Thanks for posting!

[themightycd]

Stunning Adam, a beautiful arrangement !

I notice you said tabs were coming [10 months ago], are they available anywhere now ?

[crescentridge]

Oh man. I have now learned about licensing, so any tabs need to be official and will most likely come with a DVD. So, hang in there, but no - I can't give out tabs. Sorry...I was unaware of legalities when I said they'd be available.

[themightycd]

Thanks for the reply.

That's a shame, I'll guess I'll have to watch your fingers very closely.

This may take a while ;-)

Cheers

[BryanRason]

very nice man

[PsddTgb]

u look ike the butler from scary movie with the weird hand

[Kelmoreth]

[DROTTOHARRIS]

great love the way it opens up at 1:13 it's all great but that is such a great choice in an arrangement that's already superb

[llanbradach]

Hi ,

Congratulation from a small french guitar player.

Each video you posted are fabulous.

I've called all my guitarist friend to let us know your talent!

Thank 's you a lot

If you come to France please post a message !

We had a great guitaristic night to Paris which called "Autour de la Guitare" with Jack Ada, Michel Haumont, Jean Felix Lalanne...

You'll can be with them for our pleasure!

Thank's again and please excuse my bad english

[imavodoochild]

seul marcel dadi manque :-(

[coachdoc49]

Lovely. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[LittleGreen88]

Holy bananas! That was absolutely wonderful. That is possibly the best cover of a Beatles song I've seen on youtube. You are truly a phenomenal guitar player. wow.

[cr4zyu]

Aghhhh... sustain the last note please! What is it with you beautiful musicians? There are other sensitive souls out here you know! Cutting the last note by half wrenches mine everytime. Please repeat it - this time keep it running until the last notes naturally fade. Such a beauitful, intense piece deserves a complete ending. Otherwise, of course your work is amazing. Many thanks + that one constructive criticism.

[jreichbart]

Very nice!

[ZammysMom]

I can't recall if I had already let you know what an incredibly stunning arrangement of this piece I thought this was, so at the risk of being redundant, I must tell you that the arrangement and performance touched my heart. You have my deepest gratitude for creating such beauty in the world!

[srtandoh]

Adam,your version of this song leaves me speechless.Thanks a lot and keep inspiring us with your gift.Simply amazing.

Bill

[doisneau]

Great cover, man! Just as beautiful as the original in its own right. Thanks for sharing.

[M2MTWO]

it´s beautiful ... thanks a lot

[bladewalker9120]

oops, nevermind on my tuning question. I see you've already addressed it in another comment. Thanks.

[bladewalker9120]

Adam, I noticed you're using an alternate tuning, with your low E tuned down to a D. Any other strings tuned differntly?

Phenomenal nuanced arrangement.

[jacobmeiller]

holy fuck.

wow.

[alijens]

Great! Beatifull stuff!

[madeitupquick]

[zurchnad]

Masterpiece - perfect rendition!

[crescentridge]

I know, there are a lot of great guys with great arrangements! You can count on me, tab for this will be coming!

[MagiMysteryTour]

:33-:36 and :55-:58 and 1:46-1:49 remind me of Mother Nature's Son

[iflybycat]

That Is Just Fabulous! Played with such feeling an arrangement for solo guitar is unbelievable. Please put me out also of the list of people who will anxiously await the release of your book I've tablatures.

Well Done

[miquelfiesta]

Thank you so much! i'm learnig overjoyed now and i've learned this one to:)

[alanpachter]

Thank you so much for sparing me of another night on the couch watching American Idol. You put them all to shame. Thank you. Really.

[Thmbpk6st]

Hello Adam,

I am knocked out by your arrangements. Put me in the long line of those who want to purchase your transcriptions. There is playing with flash and playing with feeling. You have the capability to do both and as a result you are able to move and inspire people. Thank you so much. Frank

[Esbenmad]

You are brilliant! I look forward for the tabs!

Best regards from Denmark, Esben

[ThumbAndFingers]

Awesome!

can't wait for your arrangements book.

Thanks.

BTW is it Dropped D?

[crescentridge]

Yes dropped D. enjoy! Tabs coming I promise.

[schmev123]

Please tell me, how can I get the tab! This blows me away.

[anjuliann]

You are amazing! You are great!

I have not seen a guitar like you expressing Emotion of the music like this.

I always listen to your music many times. and it is healed me everytime!

Thank you for really splendid music *****10star*****

[glennmichael999]

WOW! That was so good. So glad your on youtube, I'm really looking foward to seeing more material.

Thanks. Great Tune also!

[sherita65]

Very cool! One of the best versions of this song I've ever heard on solo guitar! Keep 'em coming!

[bambiknow]

Where is a better one?

[rouroken]

O_O.

Best I've heard since Larry Coryell.

[bigdood]

Don't know how I missed this one on the first "go round"... absolutely crisp and in the pocket, one of the hardest things to capture on the guitar is a melancholy mood, and you have done so brilliantly. Both inspiring and technically brilliant... the "swing monster" scores again! :-) PEACE!

[eyecandymeg]

it sounds beautiful to touch on my heart so tight.

thank you for playing..

your music really heals my heart.

[crescentridge]

thank you! It heals me toknow you love it! Big Hug!

[Griffmanr]

oh what tuning is this in?  Is it just in Dropped D?

[Griffmanr]

thanks...greatly appreciated

[Griffmanr]

this is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. You are the greatest fingerpicker ever!!

[cochinealake]

Is very nice he way you play this song.

[rollinstone325]

Wow...

Just wow...

This is extremely impressive. I am a friend of Gerry Chile's son and since I saw you at the gwich library, I've been hooked.

Please, keep playing and posting

[mattmoo1007]

Beautiful arrangement. Perfect actually. I will be very interested in your transcriptions when they are available.

Great work.

matt

[crescentridge]

I will keep you posted...when my touring schedule coolsout I will make a transcription book!

[keoki9]

Wow, way to capture the melancholy nature of the song. Another amazing post.

[JazzInc]

Great song, great performance and great sound! My compliments. Are there tabs for this song?

[crescentridge]

Thank You!  I plan to publish a book of all my arrangements soon...please stand by! - Adam
