"Billie Jean" - Fingerstyle Guitar - Adam Rafferty (Michael Jackson) 2023

Here’s my 2023 updated fingerstyle guitar version of the Michael Jackson hit “Billie Jean“. This was my second big YouTube hit, back in 2008. Next thing I knew, guitar pickers all over the world started learning this one, and in some cases got many more views than mine :-) I gotta admit, the original one has a “fresh“ energy - but that changed over the years into a different deeper sound and groove, and clearer melody. The original has 1.8 MILLION views - Not bad, eh? Wanna play this? Here’s a slowed-down version you can follow: TUNING: Standard - Capo 2nd fret.
