adamrafferty's video: Adam Rafferty - Shelter Island - Solo Acoustic Fingerstyle Guitar

Here's an original tune called "Shelter Island". I recorded this one on my "Chameleon" CD. Shelter Island, close to Long Island, NY is where I had my first clear visions of wanting to play solo acoustic guitar. It was a delicious time, brimming with possibilities that had not yet been tapped, musically. I had an electric with me on that trip, and a dream. I had not even uploaded the first youtube vid!!! A folky little melody came to me at a later time, but I named the song after Shelter Island. It almost became a ballad but after hearing Tommy Emmanuel's "Dixie MCguire" I wanted to put a thumbpick groove to it. This song will hopefully appear in Issue of Fingerstyle Guitar Magazine, so if you want tabs you'll have to hold out until that issue prints!!!!
