[Timmy4pawz]

How exactly would you tab this? xD

[playthatfunkymusic56]

youd have to ask Andy Mckee as Andy did the tab for this song.

[lilmark816]

Isnt this your song?

[playthatfunkymusic56]

Andy Mckee did the tab for the song

[Pinkspider93]

Painstakingly and by ear

[Timmy4pawz]

Ahaha :D

[mike31jmb]

Very carefully...or not at all...lol.

[phonedogfan]

amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

[VincGamer]

stun gars a amener sul bor dun feu dans un camping heheh

[peebo12]

I hate this guy.

He's so frikin awesome! =))

[ogctw]

god, he is soo good

[ChrisW21341]

AWESOME

he plays just like Don Ross

[sneakonproductionz]

can u say keller

[pallet3473]

Can you say WAY better than Kellar Williams.

[sneakonproductionz]

well sure at the slappy playing part but as a whole?

[pallet3473]

For sure a better guitarist although Kellar is a probably a better entertainer and is a great singer and songwriter

[themarco84]

nice. :)

[angusisgod55]

amazing...

[glene7]

man i love his guitar! Anyone know what make it is?

[Terefel80]

Looks like a Breedlove bridge

[foornaa]

wow. can you say original?!

well done mr. alder!

[goobero]

what kinda of guitar????

[playthatfunkymusic56]

its an edwinson made by Stephen Sheriff all brazilian rosewood sorry about the poor quality of the audio the conversion wasnt done properly

[Cminor7sus4]

How do you know who I am? Is it you, playthatfunkymusic? Lordy, yes, playthatfunkymusic! Peace on ya's. It's all about playin that funky music. Excellent tag!

[Cminor7sus4]

Totally aside from Don's superhuman guitar chops, you should also know about his other inspiring work. Google "Rick Hansen Man in Motion" and you will see that, not only is Don a great artist, he's also a world class humanitarian. He's a living testament to the fact that if you follow your dreams with passion and conviction, they will come true. Rock on, Don!

[misery2951]

serious picking with right hand :O

[abominae]

you've gotta love the feelin' put into this

[sf1102]

some guy just T-downed all the comments lol. And I just reversed it xD. Awesome technique and song btw

[djangofish]

Neat stuff. I bet that guitar is so comfortable to play.

[thps89]

wow excellent playing and piece of music!

[dajbes58]

extremely nice, that is a great example of what originality and creativity are all about , my hats off to you,i feel sorry for the people who just dont get it

[Skull0Inc]

that's a nice guitar..

[x0tennisx3]

Impressive to be able to do that, but Andy Mckee does it smoother and makes it sound nice.

[jgood94]

is this like august rush?

[icpunnett]

Makes me want to give up......

[chinesemilkman]

Reminds me of Don Ross' style, heavy wood, which he has been credited as creating.

[kurtzrepublican]

it looks hard as shit to play, but i'm not feeling the groove from it man.

[Matt23488]

DADFCE? wow ive never heard of that before

[Rondopolumbo]

notes flying in every direction..friggin great!

[turbocrazy07]

thats cool i guess

[twistedmetal2009]

you pretty much just called every professional guitarist a fag. even those that don't write acoustic songs, i guarantee you they have at least one and still pick it up every once in a while. the most heavy metal guitarists play acoustic sometimes. oh, and learn how to spell, for the sake of us all.

[THEROMANGNOME]

i wonder what this dude can do on an electric???

[gibsonjoe531531]

you are such a fucking penis

[ImOnTheTube]

I prefer the traditional way of playing, but thats just me. Dona Alder is very talented.

[MoCatt]

Nice! Reminds me a tiny bit of Michael Hedges and Preston Reed. Good stuff Don!

[joeboarder14]

....by the way, this guy kicks ass, its a shame he looks like he fixes computers....

[hopeitsgewd]

rofl seriously... he makes me wanna just quit playing

[twinkie231]

the amount of skill and talent it takes to captivate and entertain an audience of people with just one instrument is mind boggeling...

when you can do that... lemme know... then we'll talk

[xoxs0608]

fags cant spell acoustic.

If you don't like the music, I don't even know why you'd bother commenting on it. Just change the song!

[joeboarder14]

hahahahahahahahah..... dumbass

[ikkeennigij121]

amen!:p...it's a shame those people exist

[freaky666freak]

id like to see herman li and som totman try bto nail that oh wait they couldnt because that crap they do they can only do while miming in thier music vids

[uberget]

sounds like don ross to me hahahhaha

amazing guitar skills, you rock!

[mastermation]

not my style of music but id like to see him rip it on and electric

[cedarhawk]

He's using a thumb pick, it's strapped on.

And the guy's good, really good. But I prefer Gabriela's style (Rodrigo y Gabriela fame). Nice :D.

[Xllmephisto]

Yea... to bball/ Shitbag. i Play. also learned on my electric. and i love acoustic. you most likely Suck shit if your dissing this guy. hes Amazing. understand music you Fuckup. :D

[damagedpoet012]

john mayer n jack johnson can pretty much kiss that dudes ass... that's fuckin INTENSE!!!

my mouth wants to hit the floor!!!

[SubLimeAntiCs]

nuts

[eatmeCP]

isnt acoustic spelled acoustic..

not ecustic??

[bball708]

fags play ecustic...

but this is still fucking amazing i cant play ecustic so im impressed (not load enough )

[JH4lifes]

hey dipshit fags play only electric

because most if not all of them but you play both

[AsafPeten1992]

wow...

this seems..impossible

[sverio12345]

Its good ..but can he do that with his feets?

[greatdan2989]

what is the black thing he wears on his thumb?

[psychedelicshaman]

A thumb-pick.

[Bunechunk]

what do you mean?? seriously, explain yourself please..

[McJoelleke]

sick beat, nice job!

[theCGFinalCut]

HEY! ARE YOU KIDDING?

[jamedog25]

August Rush may suck but Kaki King - whose hands were playing the guitar during the movie - is pretty damn good. Yeah if you are in to the Candy Rat artists and you haven't listened to Michael Hedges, I really don't know what you are doing with your life.

[VirgilHart]

Also, August Rush is a shit movie living of of candy rats' youtube success. It's pathetic. Ever heard of Michael Hedges? Yea, he was around playing this style before the half of you were born.

[RockingMarshall]

I want a similar video with an electric guitar too.

[Redlightjammer]

Impossible!!! :D

[2112Gauge]

August Rush is a fail movie, there's one part where the girl plugs her acoustic into a Boss DS-1 and starts playing like a heavy rock guitar and the topper of all this is that there was no amp. LOL!

[pedroiadabomb15]

just like that movie august rush seen it?

[kikimiwa100]

i did. that's one of the best movies i've ever seen.

[labiasofjustice]

i did, one of the worst movies i have ever seen.

[Tmak95]

nice I WISH GUYS AS GOOD AS THIS WOULD MAKE TABS!!

[sandwich1023]

are you serious? this would take forever to write tabs for this and you would never be able to play it anyways, so it would just be a waste of time for everyone

[WickedMan274]

you got a point I can't even tell what the fuck he is doing as far as picking goes lol

[fracktails]

Is he playing " SETE FECADAS '' of Maria Joao and Mario Laghina..???? someone?

[Mayojam]

Wow 2:17-2:30 I love those harmonics.

[Rexaze]

wow....

[231158231158]

this is using an acoustic for all of its attributes (precusive especially) simply amazing...

[rafdevils]

WICKED

[kingst21]

absolutely amazing!!!!

[spankyurplank]

I think how he plays the guitar is more interesting then what he actually playin'.

[dinbolleven]

I hope he doesn't treat his wife like his guitar.....

[tqla255]

it looks like a seagull jumbo model with a cutaway

[usaofguitar]

Im told that its a guitar made my Stephen Sherriff of Edwinson guitars.

[VintageMustangs]

Definitely talented, so I give him lots of credit. But also definitely not "A new wild way" to play a guitar, lol.

[ke200]

No one said it was a NEW wild way though ;)

It's awesome no matter if it's new or old. It sounds like two guitars are playing together - it's awesome :D

[federax]

yeah that's cool

that reminds me of the guitar player andy mckee

[donaldthepwnerer]

more like antoine, andy mckee's style of music is a little softer

[cmanjosh13]

holy shit dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!yyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrroooo­oooooooooooooccccccccccccccccc­ccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[chmielster91]

damn, my mind is officially blown... fuckin siiiccckkk, not only good technically but beautiful sounding too

[bedeedeb]

Sir - you are a complete breathe of fresh air. Very beautiful sound. It's beautiful - really beautiful what you play.

Not really seen anything like your style before.

Have you recorded anything?

[playthatfunkymusic56]

Yes Don Alder has a few CDs avail on his website. Do a search for other vids on youtube and he has a new CD title "Not A Planet" coming out in aug. Michael Manring joins him on a couple of the tracks.

[irnman1120]

I JUST SHIT MY PANTS!!!!!!!!!!!

[yanmingyuyu]

i tried n ouch my fingers =/ lol that guy has talent

[williedb47]

Amazing. Very talented!

[Zubene]

I wouldn't even try to play this and I make damn good $ playing guitar!

[wizardfingers]

how can anyone learn this. im actually asking

[usaofguitar]

tab for this tune is available on his website and the tab was done by andy mckee.

[wizardfingers]

thanks

[231158231158]

where can i get the audio for this?

[HaroldAndPreetpal]

It's like he's playing acoustic guitar, bass guitar, and drums all at the same time.

[vali990980]

unmatched

[ControlledChaos666]

He plays it like a Pedel Steel Guitar but standing up. O_O ....Needless to say this is one "Badass Motherfucker", Lol.

[DoctorPepper8]

Absolutly Fucking Amazing!

[ProfessorHoffman]

That's a unique sound if I've ever heard one

[fyzikfyzik]

lol tuning is written on intro :)

[blamedguitarist]

not trying to say this guy isnt good...but this sounds kind of like a justin king song

[sasquatch9934]

sorry i mean D A D F C E. i just checked his tuning

[sasquatch9934]

drop d- D A d G B E

[deepislandboy]

All he's showing is a genuine love for music. (and of course some sick nasty skillz!!!)

[seanarrative]

holy shit

5/5

[patrykmatus92]

Very f**king good :D!

[elliotboy1233]

this is fucking crazy

[nerdpower21]

holy shit

[batchana]

OMG ! WHATHAHELL ?

[msuman91]

i bet thats the guy that plays in august rush

[ChrisTitof972]

nope, it's a girl who played in this film!

Can't remember her name though but she's wow, it's speechless to see her play on video. so in reality...?

[kevinniks]

its definitly a dude are you fkkin blind

[ChrisTitof972]

when it's NOT to you that someone speaks, I believe that you better stay out of a conversation! thank you.

Just so you know, I was replying to someone who said that this guy was the person playing in the film "August Rush" so when I said "this film" I was mentioning "A.R."

Take care and please stay polite!!!

[kevinniks]

i was trolling, jesus ur easy

[ChrisTitof972]

I'm not easy pal, but some respect with words is a minimum I think.

Peace!

[kevinniks]

u R easy, i just proved it.

damn hippy

[ChrisTitof972]

whatever man, but js one thing YouTube is a kinda video forum, so one should know how to talk to people wiht respect first even if you call it a "joke".

See ya man, I'm done.

Peace

[YSBCITTAR]

I don't mean to burst your bubble dude, but half the fun of noob tube is disrepecting the fuck out of fellow noob tubers for our own demented pleasure, so on that note, please go fuck your neighbours cat asap.

[seanarrative]

lol "hippy"

[sarngiber]

i think he is referring to the chick who played the little kid's parts in the movie. BTW her name is kaki king

[willsiegel48]

I saw this guy last summer at the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, KS. It's not wonder than he won first place in the finger picking competition.

[1fear1the1night1]

what kind of guitar does that guy have? beastly btw

[kurdran42004]

The style is similar to Andy McKee who is also amazing. Although Andy may be better.. Check out his song drifting... It is awesome!!!

[NucksPride]

reminds me of august rush movie LOL.

[Pantosta2]

wuoooo...his style it's too diferent than the style of other guitar players..=)..sounds so feelin..

[schweppes069]

Dean Markley's Alchemy

[schweppes069]

StinkEye, I'll find out for you. I'll ask him. I'm going to see him tonight in a concert for about 100 people.

[tumbelumbedumbeumbe]

OH MY GOSH; he can play a guitar...

[Zway2]

Okay so i tried it.. and I failed dammit

ahh well

[nonequoted]

Incredible skill, but give me a slower section somewhere! All over, fast and stuff for the whole piece?

[madsen1402]

NOWS ANYBODY THAT TUNING?

[kiresnikpmot]

it says at the very beginning in the bottom left of the vid, it's DADFCe

[alcoholman01]

he looks like Patsi from the Sopranos

[timmy47]

theres some parts that seem out of time and some licks that are hard to make out with all the string nosie but still pretty cool indeed. better than anything i can play.

[StinkEyeDriverNJ]

my acoustic sounds like shit... what strings is he usin?

[buttsexftw]

probably elixers

[mavrockk7]

dean markley

[Cminor7sus4]

he was endorsing Dean Markley Alchemy strings at the time. Don't know if you can still get them.

[15fukac15]

wow...love that..fuckin brilliant..

[ValEsparza]

amazing........ wow. I need t practice.

[Fender1]

i like it

[LOMANDYO]

Now I have played the classic beatbox for 35yrs and I have not heard anything as good as this in a long long time,so to all you purist !!! get a life.....

[LOMANDYO]

BLEW ME AWAY, PURE MAGIC.

[95cooks]

Try tuning in these open tunings and you'll find this isn't as hard as it looks. Standard tuning requires much more dexterity in the left hand and precision in the right -- that is, you can't get away with just slamming and banging on the guitar.

[Gibson889]

right you are sir, but it is quite fun to tune to those open tunings and find some neat pull off runs or strumming possibilites

[95cooks]

I didn't mean to imply that it isn't good -- it is and is interesting. I appreciate the artistry of it.

[BluesBrother93]

Dedicated to Don Ross yes?

[medecini]

truly amazing skills!!!

[Uriah470]

What the heck? I think he is playing so fast, I miss half of the notes. My hat off to you, sir. Well done!

[DeathToNewbie]

Okay... That is craaaaaazy.. ;)

[jaydengrahlman233]

what tuning is he in

[rocker0123]

tuning is D A D F C E

[1koolrule]

Nice Job.

Does anyone know what make of guitar he's playing?

[Cminor7sus4]

It's an Edwinson EPC model, brazilian rosewood with an Engelmann spruce top. I built the guitar for Don in 2003-04. I met Don at the Healdsburg Guitar Fest in '03. He's just an awesome guy.

[1144554]

kudos on the guitar mehn... i actually noticed the guitar before the gitarista, talented he may be..

[Cminor7sus4]

thanks dude, but you know, it's Music that must be served. Without music, there would be no solar systems or stars, no galaxies, no nebulae, no swirl of infinitude...If you insist on having a god, why should that god not be music? Music is the only thing the whole Universe can understand. We all got that. I'm just say'n.

[1144554]

beautiful guitar...

[Guitar8877]

Souds Amazing! 5 stars!

[DGBilly]

he plays that guitar like a bass...

[slipknot94]

Magic.

[poog83]

wow, It's very very well done!

but if you guys like this kind of stuff you've better look for some Preston Reed videos here on youtube......he's probably invented this way of playing acustic guitar and he's THE "total guitar"......

anyway, fantastic playing!!
