What a wonderful venue for a fantastic and intimate concert. Adam Rafferty rocked the place with his jazzy funk style. Adam’s concert is a must see for finger style guitarists. Hope to see him again as soon as possible. Thanks Randy for making this happen.

To Randy and my fine friends who commented:

Thank you very much for the really flattering comments. I don’t know what to say. I do know you make it sound like I’m a better player than I am, but I know you well enough to know you are sincere, and that makes me feel good.

Thank you again. Really a nice surprise, and something my picking grandson will enjoy, too.

All my best,
Bruce

I always look for the posts of Bruces. He is a fine-fine picker and a pleasure to listen too. I’d like to say he’s an original-not a copy-That’s why I like his playing so. I’m proud for you Bruce and honored to call you my friend.Royce

I really enjoy Bruce’s playing. His videos are “gems” and his technique is wonderful! I too look forward to see what he comes up with next. I have never met Bruce, but I can tell he’s a all around nice guy. Does he play golf?
Thanks Randy for the article…Randy P.

That goes for me too Roger. Bruce is such a genuine person who just loves guitar and has the ability to come up with such great ideas. He does tributes to many of the greats and he knew/knows many of them.
Great article Randy.. Thanks. Ron

First time I’ve ever heard your voice Bruce.And I enjoyed your discussion of licks and such. It was really great and you should do some more of your anatomies (-;

I have been following Bruce since day # 1 of his posting and I agree with Randy that Bruce is a wonderful guitarist and his tunes are all his after he picks them. He plays like no other person I know with a mix of Chet, Jerry, Lenny B., Tommy Jones and numerous others I could mention. Bruce is one of a kind and i eagerly await his next rendering.

What a classy well written review, Randy. And, this website page with it’s ability to accept comments is freeken’ incredible. I hope your members appreciate all your efforts in bringing top notched world class guitar to Canada.

Adam has graced our stage here in Columbus, Ohio twice in the last couple years and left us spellbound both times. I hope your members understand that one of the main reasons he plays so cleanly and accurate (EVERY TIME) is because, like you, he was (and, still is) a very practiced jazz guitarist. He’s a “finger style” guitar player that has paid his dues with thousands of hours of scales and music theory. And, he continues his rigorous daily practice to make his performances “look effortless.” Adam is a welcomed treat into our finger style community – thanks for treating your members to his genius.

Great concert Randy.. Adam reminded me of many different players, but he has his own style and it is rich with all the elements of good music. Thanks.

Adam Rafferty showed that not only is he a great fingerstyle guitarist, he is also a great musician. This man can translate music from virtually any genre to fingerstyle guitar: disco(!), jazz, classics by Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder, ballads, and even classical guitar. Check out his amazing arrangement on YouTube of Bach’s Prelude in E: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgDFL4o_-iU

Thanks, Randy, for giving us the opportunity to see one of the best fingerstyle guitarists, in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere!
