[LoafofCat]

I wonder if I'd get thumbs up if I went to Harry Potter videos with Hagrid in them and said "I didn't know Don Ross was a wizard!"

[Seabass9211]

Who Pickin The Banjo Here!

[PDOpsps]

[mpraele]

I went to Pernambuco,,, but I will not be able to play like this in 10 life times!

[mikydipalma]

Jesus fucking Christ, in every Ross' video there are always the stupid hagrid comments.

[GarretsShadow]

@mikydipalma mine was supposed to be satirical :P

[Revel136]

AWESOME!!! I'M FLOORED. LOVE IT!!!

[JakeDeArmas]

2:30 - 2:50 is my favorite part of any guitar song ever.

[clarity1126]

Whoa this guys sick

[redsoxyeargmail]

[JakeDeArmas]

@redsoxyeargmail Yeah! Me t- wait, what?!

[GarretsShadow]

[Teddius1138]

@GarretsShadow i am very amused.

[oaishalim]

@GarretsShadow He sure does, musical Hagrid, well played.

[mycahman]

@GarretsShadow haha, so true. overused comments ftw

[beatysamuel0215]

@GarretsShadow Just because he has a beard and long hair DOESN'T mean he looks like Hagrid!

[GarretsShadow]

@beatysamuel0215 satire dude

[Nal2co]

Respond with Hagrid Joke

[lennarddudelu]

which model of John Pearse strings does Don Ross use?

[cornearbornatortoise]

The crowd must have been too stunned to move?I would have been applauding like a crazy person if i were there witnessing that pure awesomeness.

[ThomasMetal75]

Is that Bob Ross from "The Joy of Painting"?!?

[pipolya]

26 people got to Pernambuco, and didn't like what they saw...

[aero252525]

Year!!cool!!

[AituBan]

i like him a lot!!!

[AituBan]

Don Ross and Andy McKee are my favourite guitar players:DDD

[Buck3tbot]

I need to go change my boxers....

[shamusolarry]

I think this qualifies as shredding on an acoustic guitar. Mad props. This is so awesome.

[CyrusShadowBlade]

This video is almost getting to be 5 years old and it still amazes me just as much as when I first saw it.

[dekken231]

love the way he moves his head lol! Don Ross is just awesome in every way

[ftp76]

Gotta say my fave Don Ross...

[clehmanj]

i would stab someone for that guitar

[whatsstandard]

those poor people in pernambuco...

[asdertert12345]

@whatsstandard Haha Nice!

[primogenitum]

Não entendi o por quê do título da música... o Brasil é demais!!

[ledbrasil]

@primogenitum o título da música traduz em "nunca cheguei em Pernambuco"... não tem nada de ofensivo no título, a não ser o fato de que ele não conseguiu conhecer uma cidade foda demais.

[shin9074]

BEST

[itsme88888]

Have you seen his wife? She is hot!

I bet they have awesome Jam (oh ya!) sessions.

[pbhushanbsb]

26 people got to Pernambuco !!!!

[PDOpsps]

@pbhushanbsb i live in pernambuco but i liked the video. XD

[buddyeagle]

@PDOpsps I am from Pernambuco and i hate the song title, PERNAMBUCO is the best state in Brazil.

[moomyman92]

@pbhushanbsb and all 26 liked your post !!!!

[terotele]

lol 4:23 he's like saying "well... that's all i got"

[TheSnippers1]

[vinyvinnie]

pernambuco is in Brazil, my country *--*

but I live in Rio de Janeiro *--*

wonderful city

[IJustTouchedMyself]

IJustCame

[WitheredGauze]

R.I.P Don Ross!! You'll be missed!

[SoundOfTheShell]

@WitheredGauze

o.o he died?

[CarlosAvilla]

@WitheredGauze HE'S DEAD?????

[undiscokidd42]

@WitheredGauze Whoever told you he died isn't the most intelligent guy/gal.

[mycahman]

@WitheredGauze this guy just wants attention.

[GTRShady97]

im glad the guitar survived it! :P

[shanthundergod]

Unbelievable.

[Rickardius]

The people of Pernambuco really missed out on something.

[cigarstylez]

lol wheres the slow button, this is to fast for me:D

[MrDaylightz]

don ross is chuck norris

[Burning0Lilac]

chuck norris....eh...nevermind.

[orbisnonsufficit0805]

Whats with all the posts saying God this and god that we all know he's not real. How about we appreciate the fact that humans grew the ttree made the guitar, and don ross' perseverance gave him this skill.

pretty tired of the religion comments lets actually try and evolve society not devolve to fairy tale status.

[alanslife1]

@orbisnonsufficit0805 amen

[mikebac1]

@orbisnonsufficit0805 you are a complete idiot, God made this world and everything here. The sooner you realize that truth the sooner you will be happy for knowing why everything we know and love is as beautiful, amazing and complex as it is. No man or woman could give Mr. Ross what he has.

[orbisnonsufficit0805]

@mikebac1 Lol say that in a hundred years when religion has been abolished and outlawed and all the remanining dumb fucks that believe in a gorilla in the sky making us here. Whoever made up God and shit has been living one huge mindfuck LMAO. What you gonna do about it anyway mate your a christian so ur a fucking dipshit who wont do shit come and do shit or shut up u bible reading faggot.

[WillGuitar96]

@orbisnonsufficit0805 well everyone has their own rights

I'm a christian and I don't think I can stand your way of saying stuff

So you're a faggot who likes saying bad things about religion and stuff because you know that people can't do anything to you because this is the internet

But in real life maybe you'll get fucked up

You're an atheist?

If you are, at least show respect for other people's religion

Hey, we need something to believe in :)

[orbisnonsufficit0805]

@WillGuitar96 It's not cause noone can do anything. Its just because I think it's stupid to waste your lives believing in something that you will never see. Wasting the precious years you have. I believe in no religion what so ever whatever that is. Give me a real reason religion should excist. people who believe in that shit are just wasting their time and the worlds resources. if you believe in god go2 him. die. we dont need you wasters.

[WillGuitar96]

@orbisnonsufficit0805 Something that I will never see eh? Well no one can tell what will happen after you die. You might see god, or just fly around as a ghost, etc etc etc. For my reason(personally), I think by believing in something that can save you(even if it's not true), can put your fears away. And why is it wasting world's resources? And I do believe in him but committing suicide is an idiot's way of thinking.

[orbisnonsufficit0805]

@WillGuitar96 Believing in someone who is obviously not real is called schizophrenia. go see a psychologist your mind is warped.

[WillGuitar96]

@orbisnonsufficit0805 I hate psychologist and I also hate you atheists

Well not all atheists, it's just you because you're forcing someone to do what you think is right which is not always right

[orbisnonsufficit0805]

@mikebac1 But thanks for trying to change my mind. First person to actually have the guts to respond in a forthcoming way usualy your kind doesnt reply and just lives and dies like the bad book says.

[korvidkrow96]

i'd be so fucking happy if i was the tree that made that guitar.

getting fingered by god all the tiem 8D

[Agrobiz]

Bob Ross can paint and Don Ross can wail on a guitar.

[xchn1]

And you have my axe!

[SinOfTheSorrowPistol]

i saw this guy play in truro and he opened with this song and it just blew me away

[giuseppe3010]

Though this is nice, it is not a song... it is just picking sounds at random!

[AandFHollister22]

@giuseppe3010 You, sir, are an uncultured jerkhead.

[giuseppe3010]

@AandFHollister22 NO, I am not.... go listen to real guitar music... search Joao Pernanbuco's Som dos Carrilhoes, for instance.

[WillGuitar96]

@giuseppe3010

This is real music

You like that kind of music

And I like this kind of music

Better keep that stupid comment of yours

You're a public enemy if you keep on doing that actually

If this is random picking, why does it sound nice to my ears?

You can't even spell Sons de Carrilhoes right

[WillGuitar96]

@giuseppe3010

WHO CARES ABOUT YOUR DUMB LANGUAGE?

I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND SOM "DOS" CARRILHOES IN YOUTUBE

I speak English here I DON'T speak PORTUGUESE

YOU CALLED ME DUMB? TRY LOOKING AT THE MIRROR FOOL

[WillGuitar96]

@giuseppe3010

Oh by the way I searched for som "dos" carrilhoes and I can only see som "de" carrilhoes

[giuseppe3010]

@WillGuitar96 Buddy, CARRILHOES is a plural word, but the word "de" is singular and wrong. So to give that sentence a grammatical agreement in the plural, you'd have to say SOM DOS CARRILHOES. These are two nouns separated by the preposition "de" or "dos", and all 3 words must agree in the plural: SOM DOS CARRILHOES.

[giuseppe3010]

@WillGuitar96 Another example of plural in Portuguese: O CANTO DOS PASSAROS (singing of the birds). It's like saying that you HEAR THE SOUND OF BELLS and not HEAR THE SOUNDS OF BELLS. Finally, if you don't speak Portuguese, then don't argue with someone who does.

[WillGuitar96]

@giuseppe3010

Well you can actually say that from the BEGINNING

And I'd be GLAD if you argue that with JOAO PERNAMBUCO THE WRITER OF THE SONG FOR NAMING THE SONG SONS "DE" PERNAMBUCO

Go tell the internet to change the name to Som DOS Carrilhoes

[mistermaxpower]

@giuseppe3010 wow u ain't a musician aren't u?

[mrchucknorris]

@giuseppe3010

lol i hate to be one of those guys chirping people hating on a vid, but this most definitely a "song" bud, listen harder

[digitwiz]

@giuseppe3010 lol your making a ridicule out of urself

[giuseppe3010]

@digitwiz The finger picking is nice, but why so many repetitious tunes? It goes on and on the same repetitions. Go listen to SOM DOS CARRILHOES by Joao Pernambuco, for instance.

[baekken]

@giuseppe3010 First you say it's picking sounds at random, now you say it's repititious tunes? Your second point is more valid, actually. But then music can be subjective. It's ok to have different tastes in music.

[DrBromiAndufEwd]

@giuseppe3010 So you are saying that what Don Ross plays is not REAL guitar music....lol. Think before you type. I listened to Sons de Carrilhoes, its a great piece, but you are comparing apples to oranges. Sons de Carrilhoes is a soothing, melodious piece, Never got to Pernambuco is a fast passed, driving almost metal piece. If you dont like his music, don't listen and keep your comments to yourself. You aren't going to convince anyone that Don Ross is any less that great. HEAVY WOOD!!!

[orbisnonsufficit0805]

@giuseppe3010 Whats penis taste like. I assume you know by your being a fuckhead on the internet skills.

[WillGuitar96]

@giuseppe3010

You're an idiot

[alanslife1]

@giuseppe3010 stupidass

[d22587]

@alexboissonnault Obviously dumbass.

[toddallenhooper]

that's the most amazing thing I've ever seen with six strings!!!!

[ZotMalakhov]

 Good work of the guitarist! Excellent video and very good performance! It very beautiful music! Thank you a lot for sharing your nice video!

[checkavailability212]

Its insane how much passion he can pump out of ONE guitar.

[fashpart]

is it normal if i just jizzed my pants?

[Desmodus87]

@fashpart It Is When Don Ross Is Playing, Its Been Proven By Medical Science.

[Ablithealbino]

[34822032]

[chrysippus2]

@mountainrocker1967 Ha! Too funny!

[darknight1234100]

@mountainrocker1967 hahahahahah

[ForsakenGod23]

Don ross est le vecteur de tous les guitariste

Cest la masse critique ou toutes les techniques se rencontrent

et ou se forme au pied de l'arbre d'eden lharmonie supreme

un chant unique dans un monde desabuse

un cri plein despoir ou se pointe tous les oreilles

[KiptaviusFuzz]

His picking hand looks so small

[MrDJEscoBAR]

God made u Funky, and im so thankfull for it ,im sure it wasnt monday and he had a good day when he did ;-)

[P3droXBR]

KRALHO!! toca de mais, ke içu mey...

[kieranm32]

[oboyy]

sparta is nothing compared to this dude

[flaskeballe]

It takes forever to stream this video finished!!! WHY??

[aLLex229]

I've already got to pernambuco, and it's amazing ! like this song :D

[andrewking37]

[ZacVrono]

[Simsonlover222]

its unbelieveable and he can speak german issnt it GREAT?

well done don :D

[roshidon]

Badass.

[Saverosso]

hmm...

not exactly a brazilian song, but it's nice

[DBoVolente]

I only need to hear the first 10 seconds and I know...it's an other awesome song, written and played by Don Ross :o god-like.

[sepeisa]

i got dizzy

[wagnertatagiba]

Its amazing how he use Bossa Nova chords and variations. And that's where Pernambuco fits, because its a Brazillian state.

[memorieslive]

So catchy... I have to check this video out everyday to satisfy my funky needs.

[marijuanadan1975]

If there was ever a reason for a guitar to be invented then this is the excuse that some guy called don ross would pick it up and play.....genius

[EndlessEndeavors]

This song has always been my favorite of Ross's. I wonder how much theory he knows.

[AdamWoodhams]

beautiful thing about music is that you don't need to know theory to play any instrument

[BrokenWingman]

Since he graduated with a bachelor's in music I'd imagine he knows quite a bit.

[alingrigorescu1]

magnific!!!!

[DaveDFFA]

Saw him play a couple days ago.

He is amazing at guitar, plus he is fucking hilarious to boot. He knows how to keep the crowd entertained so believe me, they probably were laughing in between.

[xcosme91]

deeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaammmmm hahaha

[h0bgawblin]

if god played guitar, he would take lessons from don ross.

[Lilwolf94]

@h0bgawblin and gus g.. i mean god needs variety in his playing :)

[ParkwayDriveHorizons]

he came to SHRED

[mattitolchok]

im not the biggest fan of acoustic virtouso music but this guys insane....total control over the instrument...

[feralemax21]

Tiene una tecnica muy rara pero impresionante.

[GlitchMasterz]

lol the audiance are so lame 'd be standing up whistling swearing the lot - FUCK YEAH WOOOO!!!!

[wordthatscool]

i think don ross has my vote for most talented acoustic guitar player alive. at least in the top 3. this is one of the hardest pieces to play i have ever attempted, ever. still cant even get close. masterpiece

[nickolas1221]

is there a way i can rate this as like more than just 5 stars?! my mind is fuckin blown

[ABisopht]

apparently somebody stole this guitar he is using. I hope he gets it back soon! I play a little and I am attached to my guitars so I wonder how he feels.

[bmd900]

it looks like the video is being speed up but it inst! simply amazing!!

[brunoldc]

fuck'in amazing

simply amazing. i wish i had that much talent.
