Adam Rafferty - Michael Jackson - Man in the Mirror - Solo Acoustic Fingerstyle Guitar

Greetings! I love this tune!!! "Man in the Mirror" by Michael Jackson. This was a #1 hit in 1988 when it was released off his 7th solo album, "Bad".

This has become a favorite of fingerstyle guitarists, and the first great arrangement of this came from Tuck Andress.

In developing this arrangement I avoided listening to Tuck Andress' version completely.

I wanted to see how I'd solve musical "problems / puzzles" and afterwards compare to his.
It's amazing to see someone approach a tune so differently.

Now that I have this arrangement, I plan to listen to Tuck's version closely to see what I left out and incorporate it into
the next version of this one!

Is it hard for you to arrange your own version of songs? Im wondering if you have listened to This Is It by MJ, maybe you'lle get an idea or two! :)
