Hoover the Musical Dog - Don Ross cover

[DonkeyKol]

Really good performance man, you look 'in' and that makes it really good to ear

[saffronboots]

@DonkeyKol Merci.

[gurreu]

Man this is great! Thanks for sharing, you are really skilled.

[ultimatumjs]

brilliant cover/interpretation. Your fingerings do seem different to Don's but hey, as long as it does the job who cares!

[saffronboots]

Thanks for saying this. Cheers.

[StarlightMayu]

that sir was lovely :)

[saffronboots]

And so was your comment. Many thanks.

[oramitor]

well u r very good :D

but i can obviously see that its pretty different then the original :) keep playing u r very good :D

and smile a bitt :) haha

[saffronboots]

Thanks. I will admit to using different fingerings than Don. He and I seem to prefer switching up the first, second and third position notes in the B and bridge sections. It's all good in his opinion.

[Kregg17]

Awesome. When I first heard this song I was pretty indifferent to it. Now I'm really diggin' it. I think I'm going to try and learn that song next. =D

[saffronboots]

This is definitely one of my favourites. Good luck with your playing - love to see a vid when you're ready.

[Kregg17]

P.S. Thanks for the tutorial of the Afraid to Dance percussion part. It really helped me out. =)

[nnatthhann]

how long have u been playing for?

[saffronboots]

~30 years.

[nnatthhann]

dayum that 2x as old as i am lol

[saffronboots]

Hopefully you'll be twice as good by the time you get to my age. Ha ha!

[LiquidRushOnline]

?2x as good? No need to knock yourself - good job! (Don really knows how to name a song!(lol) ) 5/5

[ipjflyer]

Very nice playing - very smooth & controlled.

[joiboi180]

*poof* Thank you lots! You just reminded me to play a song I have not played in over a year! *runs away* Oh yea and God Bless! *vanishes*

Great job as usual on a Don Ross cover. Come on , do Loaded ,Leather, Moonroof. That intro to it sounds similar to Afraid to Dance. As far as tapping technique goes. I think you could do it.

[saffronboots]

I think it's time to do some Madonna...

[RLSguitar]

Excellent playing! You do a great job at Don Ross renditions. And the guitar you built makes this tune sound exceptional and more than does it justice. Thanks for sharing.

God bless,

- Robert

[bigmeat543]

defently my favorite song off of three hands too haha that cd isnt one of my favorites

[saffronboots]

I hear you. Actually I NEVER play the "Loaded, Leather, Moonroof" CD... Hmmm.

[Nogert]

Oh i just noticed it said old clip, i'm guessing this ain't with the guitar you made if it's old

[saffronboots]

I was trying to be funny by adding some video effects to the clip since it is an older DR tune. This is the first guitar I made with Sergei in '05.

[arkansasovich]

Sergei Who? I am also Sergei :)

[saffronboots]

Sergei de Jonge.

[Nogert]

shizzzing, i've been trying to get an acoustic with the cut away, but couldn't find one that wasn't electro :( is that the one you made I can't rember from the last vid if they were cut away or not

[scrubmacdub]

good stuff man, is this on the guitar that you made?

[saffronboots]

Yep. This was the first one I made. Iwas trying to make a guitar like Pierre Bensusan's "Old Lady".
