"Off The Wall" - Fingerstyle Guitar - Adam Rafferty (Michael Jackson) 2023

Here's my fingerstyle guitar version of "Off The Wall" by Michael Jackson. It's one of my absolute MJ favorites!

Gotta say, this is one of the TRICKIEST arrangements I play... as there are so few open strings. Those jazzy left-hand chords are a serious workout!

I recorded this for my CD "I Remember Michael" in 2010...the original sounds pretty good - but I wanted to revisit this with the challenge of a bare thumb vs a thumb pick:-)

Here's the original video, from around 2010 - if you'd like to take a look. Cleaner, but not as deep a feel IMHO.

Lots of Love & hope you dig this "evolved" version of an older arrangement that I still LOVE to play.
