Introduction - Read This First
(Tip: Be sure to print only the pages you need, that
cover page could use up all your ink or toner!)
I hope that your finger style guitar journey is going well! Here are the “tabs” (tablature)
for the exercises in the “Ain’t No Sunshine” section of the video course.
This song was composed by the great Bill Withers, and is one of my all time favorites.
Full Tablature Not Possible for Print!
Sorry! Due to copyright restrictions, the MELODY cannot be included in this Udemy
lesson, or in the PDF file. Here you will find the chords, bass line and other elements
needed to play the arrangement.
If you want to learn my full version with melody, harmonics and more - it’s available on
studywithadam.com - and there’s a free 14 day trial over there.
Go Slow and Enjoy the Journey!
Be gentle and kind to yourself as you learn. Even if something looks easy, it will require
steady practice until your muscles learn the new sensations.

Greetings Fellow Guitar Player!
It gives me great pleasure and joy to
teach you the guitar and musical
concepts and secrets I have learned over
the years.
I have been very lucky to have the
opportunity to study and play with some
of the greatest musicians on the planet,
from fingerstyle, to classical music to
blues to jazz, and I look forward to
passing as much on to you as I can.
Two things that my great teachers taught me are that 1) there are no shortcuts,
but 2) it’s easy when you get the right information!
I made a “pact“ with myself anytime I’d feel the “elation and delight” of
unraveling musical mysteries, that I’d pass the knowledge on as best I can.
This is the process of how music and learning evolve. Each generation builds on
the information from the previous one and this continually raises the standard
of excellence.
I also made a pact that I’d be a teacher (for you) that the “proof would be in
the pudding”. I.E. - you’d want to learn from me because you actually love the
music you hear come out of my fingers!
No matter what anyone’s level of talent is, we all need teachers and people who
have seen things we haven’t, and basically “been around the block“ more than we
ourselves have.
Your excellence matters to me. Your level of joy and creativity matters to me.
Your happiness matters to me! And I thank you for entrusting me to share my
knowledge with you.
I am here to coach you, teach you, kick your butt and show you how excellent
you can be. Feel free to call or email me anytime for lessons, coaching,
questions or just to say “Hi!” As well, if you have any questions about any of
my online lessons or guitar educational products, call me.
I am here to help YOU realize your true excellence on the guitar, in music and
in life!
With Warmest Regards,
Adam
