What a shame. 21 people accidentally clicked the dislike button. This was just an INCREDIBLE performance, and most people don't even know how hard that really is to play.
Best vid on TH-cam
It is an incredibly more powerful version than his previous one, and they way he uses the final riff to the conclude the song is spectacular! :D Bless Up Don Ross!
So awesome. There's a lot of Michael Hedgesness to this tune. And that makes it even more awesome. Brilliant. Amazing technique.
The combined clarity and complexity of Don's playing is always such a treat to hear.
Wow. This sounds so freakin' amazing. I've listened it for seven straight hours now, still doesn't get boring. A-ma-zing. 5*
2020 still hereeee
Aguante Don Ross guacho!
That harmonic at 2:15 !
Every time I listen to this song I am completely blown away
The rare ability to evoke a full drum kit and keyboard with hints of a horn section, all from a single well-played guitar!!
Listened to this song... Er, performance - of a masterpiece two days in a row now. It is so damn good.
This is within my top 3 of all time. Amazing.
I completely agree with the guy that yells at 0:02
Mr Ross, your guitar playing is inspiring, your sound is great and your performance is awesome!!
Now of all the music I've heard from this channel over the past, this guy is truly pioneering! I rate him up there with Tommy E!
One of the things I really like about Mr Ross is seeing over his years of playing that things like tempo have become more consistent for him...I don't notice him changing speed in a song when, for instance, when he hits a part of a song that is a bit more difficult, his adrenaline speeds the play up for those few bars...He writes to challenge himself, which I also admire, but nowadays, he seems to polish his play on the songs to make his performance as precise as his writing...He is one of my favorites...
24 people dislike pure awesomeness? impossible, or perhaps they're just jealous that they will probably never be this good
Gobsmacked from the opening till the end of the song .Don plays this with a style totally unique to him.The power ...the style...the technique leave you speechless (and breathless !) waddaguy. Awesome !
how could you dislike this, it's great.
Man, so good. The bass line just fits so well with the rest of it. Perfect.
thanks don for inspiring future musicans for many years to come.
woahhhh!!!! i'm always blown away by Don Ross's swingin guitar pieces. his compositions are always so crazy!!! I can't wait to buy this DVD...i've got so much music to catch up on buying from candy rat records!
This is one of my favorite songs of Mr. Don Ross! Even though he doesn't look like it, he can sure play the hell out of that guitar! Very cool and great sound!
The power with which he hits those harmonics is incredible.
This is an awesome song Mr. Ross. Seriously, You and/or Andy McKee need to make your way down to southern California so I can come see you guy!
Don Ross, you're amazing!
Jesus. Absolutely amazing
Your guitar mojo is magic and unlike anyone else. Thanks
Such a great feel to this song. I wonder if Don knows how much enjoyment people get from his performances....and FRUSTRATION from trying to play his songs! lol An awesome musician. Thanks Man
this brings a smile to my face every time i hear it!
This is so amazing, and that ending is SO fitting.
i cant hold back the smiles don's playing forces them out of me!!!
one word..IMPRESSSSSSIVE! mr. Ross))))
From Russia, with...Respect)
Don is one of the best in his field for sure.
That was Great and Thanks for letting the youtube community enjoy this!
How in the hell have I never heard of this guy until today. I feel like I missed out on something here. Amazing work
You are obviously doing what you were born to do. You handle the guitar as if it is an extension of you, total fret board mastery.
I love how he finishes by bowing his guitar! Such a phenominal artist!
holy balls he never stop writing crazy guitar songs... and he absolutely nails that harmonic at 2.17... and every other note in the songs as well i guess...
im downloading this right now haha
To get such clear notes that high up is amazing. Well done.
Grooving dude!
How do you compose something as complete as this? It's like, so perfect and easeliy played that you forget that he actually created it himself. I belive hes the best composer of all times, its like 3-4 rips melted together to the perfect piece, a bass that will make your soul bounce to the rythm and a tune so funky that you just want to pick up the guitar and use ½ your life to learn this song.
We've entered the golden age of Acoustic Guitar! Wow!!!
one of my favorite pieces ever! brilliant!
candyrat for life :)
father of fingerstyle , mozes of guitar, I love your music
Don Ross coming to Sydney Nova Scotia!!
CAN'T WAIT WOOOOOOOT
You said it! Time to head down to the basement and jam a while! The good ones always inspire!
*SO* beautiful!
@sydneybmx
yeah - simply amazing how he pops such a clear ringing harmonic at the third fret.
He is surreal live =]
I didn't think phat funk grooves were possible on acoustic. Don blows my mind.
Damn, he was just smacking that guitar and making it sound awesome! One of the most talented acoustic guitar players I've heard!
WOW!!!! WHAT ENERGY Love the train taking off at 2:52 > I am out of breath. : -) I love the power the larger men can put into their musical improv. Totally enjoyable. Peace and Love to all of humanity and those that share. : -)
LOVE the harmonics!
He is an unbelievable guitarist but something many forgotten, he composes also brilliantly. He is definite on the same level of a Tommy Emmanuel. I have already been allowed to hear both live.
One of my FAVES!!!!
That high harmonic at 2:16 makes it!!!
Absolutely incredible. Truly a master of his work.
I know this what I'm about to ask about has nothing to do with talent, but why do some guitarists insist on not trimming the ends of their strings?
Mine... Fantastagasmical!
Don's playing is purely genius!
simply amazing
Don Ross only can play like that
each note has its own life. Powerful !
A big bouncing bearded beast of a guitar player. Don Ross does it again!
oh! ... very good!
Mind completely blown by this guy too!
Wicked. I idol him. I will want to see that live one day. My guitar teacher showed me this album. Great song.
THAT PINCH HARMONIC THOUGH!
+Ak Cp oh hell yeah , completly mastered
12 + years and I'm still coming back
WOW!!!I m speechless now!!! that was relly gorgeous'!!! :-0......
i twisted my strings up like that once. as i was sitting down for a lesson and my teacher, without saying a word, leaned over and snipped them off with wire cutters and threw them away. closest i ever got to feeling like Don.
I would love to hear all of this live... just blasting in my face!.... sooo good!
this is such an easy piece to play.
im so confident.
I've been listening to him since 09
love the way he bobs about , i start doing it just listening and watching him play
Now that's how ya play some guitar!!....Awesome Don!!
What a beautiful and delicate calamity
Insanly good, as always!
caught myself applauding.
this is freakin amazing.
echoes of michael, michael, michael in this song.
Lol always love when he starts moving! Puts me in such a good mood
YES!! Don Ross RULES.
omg so awesome
Saw an interview with Don where he talked about how this song was borne...his teenage daughter listened to top 40 pop and didnt care for his guitar too much, he sat and really listened to what was coming from her room and realized most of the songs were all 16th measure/note. Thought hey I can write a tune based in 16th's and maybe she would dig it.
@QuisPiss I saw the older video of this song when I was high out of my mind. It was a great introduction to Don.
Simply awesome.
Amazing. I love it!
saw him last night... shredded this tune
Straight-up / pure soul / masterpiece. You nailed it SticksnStrings ... he donrossed the hell outta a progression that could only come from someplace divine. Nice find Don, and very well executed.
absolutley f*&kn incredible!!
i listened to this for the first time last year...not sure why but i listened to it again twice yesterday. its one of new favorite songs. what's up w/ that?
Usually, players will play songs live slower than in the studio. Don plays this like his pants are on fire. And it's still spot on!
Many people say that this style on acoustic guitar and metal are deeply related: Kaki King said that "acoustic musicians were searching for a somewhat more violent way to play their instrument, after hard rock, metal and funk came out", so they came up with this style of fingerpicking (i'm quoting an interview on an italian online radio). Another interesting fact: Andy McKee was a metalhead before playing acoustic. ;)
I love how he gives credit to the guitar :) very humble
On fire like always
AMAZING!!!!
The harmonic at 2:17 is insane. He really can beat on that guitar!
This is so good
Hey, I'm nodding *my* head! Seriously funky playing.
Yes! I can't believe anyone else thought of that.
dude you dont need to dance when youre this amazingly awesome
Amazing!
WOW what a Power what a technice. I would say this is his best song.
