Don Ross - Another Island of Women

[DrBromiAndufEwd]

GOLF CLAP?!?! REALLY?!?!?! WHERES THE ROAR OF APPLAUSE!!!! Lol. Just kidding. I love you Don!

[hugenoodles]

lovin the jazzy style mr ross!

[PietjeP92]

dude this bassnote is seriously a G or something, this is no ordinary bariton tuning!

[wretchrow]

I love how this song is so quirky yet relaxing at the same time.

[TriviumFan15]

There's another island?!?!?!?

[UncleRemus421]

Guitar: wow...that was fun....reminds me of when I was played by Michael Hedges and Andy Mckee......

Don: I know.

[Silversmurf808]

Loving this! thanks for sharing.

[awfulguitarplucker]

the sound of his guitar is so shummering and sparkly that,more than a low-tuned 6 strings,it sounds like a 7 strings acoustic guitar with the high E left unplayed

[karur]

@awfulguitarplucker C'est une baryton

[giorgio1943]

this 1 sounds complicated, but impressive

[lennarddudelu]

is it baritone or is it a normal guitar tuned down?

[RozenTheOne]

@lennarddudelu It must be a baritone guitar, when he plays the low string it doesn't sound like is touching the frets.

[ClassicTracks2]

Don has said that he originally wrote this song on the piano and he called the chord changes "excruciatingly difficult". You can find the clinic on my channel under 'Antoine Dufour/Don Ross Guitar Clinic (3/3)'.

[georgejonez]

I would love to learn this song, Ive learned Klimbim thanks to a tab. I can't find one for this song and I wouldn't be able to transcribe it to save my life.

[ABisopht]

@georgejonez I actually learnt this from watching the video. Once I discovered I could play it with standard tuning (except the low E is dropped to C#) it became easy to play. All the chords are text book. I can upload a tutorial if you want. There is a song he did a long time ago called "Island of Women-" This version is the improvement of that.

[georgejonez]

@ABisopht Could you please? That would be great! I would really appreciate it if you did, man.

[byange821]

the title sure is catchy..

[promothus]

The tuning for this song: G#EADF#B

Don's tunings can be found at his site: gobyfish.com

[Tonloc93]

In all honesty I'd much rather have another island of Don Rosses.

[roehee1234]

you are my favourite musician:)

[ABisopht]

he has an older song called "Island of Women," which is SWEET so this is Another Island of women.

[acron93]

i love the mood that i get from this song ;D give's me the goosebumps nice fork buddy hehe ;D

[acron93]

u gotta be F***** kidding me this is impossible dammnitttttttt ;D i love this one !

[Oliy92466]

Супер!

5*****

[MrMinhtien]

awesome jazzzzz!what's tunning!?!?

[rosepearljanis]

dont think- hes shit hot- is gonna catch on-nice sounds don-thanx for sharing

[HEREoverHERE]

If there's anything better than Don's playing, it's the titles for the songs

[steve2able]

cant say that de tuned low e string really agrees with my stomach too much, apart from that yeah - very nice .

[guitar4794]

awesome! I hear some jazz mixed in there!!

How come I haven't heard this song before? I thought I had seen all of the don ross videos on youtube!

[ELPepinoCosmico]

Well, most of Don's songs are jazz actually

[jaymanleonard]

I just stumbled across him 5 minutes ago. He's shit hot!

[quarentine99]

im not sure whether to give u a thumbs up or not. "he's shit hot" ...? are u comparing him to a steaming pile?

[jaymanleonard]

A steaming pile? No my man, I mean he's very good. Or at least I think so...

[Tman4000]

I can't believe that this video has been up since 2007, and I just now discovered it. Don Ross is really one of Youtube's best kept secrets.

[cayminlast]

what surprises me is the hits other artists get on the candy rat label, Don Ross is like the god father of fingerstyle if you ask me lol

[slydg]

@Tman4000 don't feel bad....I just found it today...two years after you :(

[gorthorki]

@slydg dont feel bad... you found it !

[AdamDallas]

listen to that low 6th string rumble! God i love Don's stuff!!

[PaulaAnn21]

the little break down is such an awesome progression love the combo. chords

[BluesBrother93]

Amazing - defintely some classical and flamenco elements.

[JoeLaFigue]

Before, i didn't really like don Ross's music because i thought it was too technical and really accessible to the grand public. But i changed and now I think I could'nt live without Ross's music, it's really amazing, some songs are really funny to hear (Blue Bear per example, I'm in a kind of a transe when I hear it's really unbelievable lol) and some others are more quiet and calm like this one, but still beatiful and full of emotion. Go Don go !!! You're my god guy !

[Childan]

Hm, I can hear the melody clear in my head, but this is just a little too jarring with his position jumps for my ears. But I guess I was expecting more of a smooth jazz sound or something.

[instrusam]

this makes me feel like throwing my guitar out the window...he's too good to be true

[EBoy3659]

Don Ross should run for president!

[ByronDaries]

@EBoy3659

Were he American born I'm sure he could.....

[ViniHendrix23]

@ByronDaries nope ...born in Montreal Canada.

[thenewarchivesmusic]

@EBoy3659 of the WORLD.

[thotian]

@EBoy3659 Well, in this case, he shouldn't be able to wrote such great piece of music. I prefer to see him flying on his cords.

[Adeptmind]

@EBoy3659 Jazzical!!

[jorin2]

I just burned my guitar after seeing this! Man how cool!

[jupskids]

dude don ross is the sh*t. him and any candyrat guitarist would make a great match. its just perfect that him and andy started playing together

[onegrayghost]

Yeah plus Andy knew him before they played together. They just happen to be both AMAZING at guitar and an espically great match of style and emotion. Their open tuning works compliment eachother extrememly well. I love their music. both of them.

[ThomasAWilliam]

mezmerizing...

[nolono]

Exactly the same for me

In France, we do not hnow about this guy of fingerstyle music

[craftsman1234]

[lip333]
