i heard about this guy thru maneli jamal . this is a good find.love this song . beautiful arrangement. a song with feel and soul not to fast not to slow but just right
wow ,,some nasty comments ,,,well for me this is just awsome and love your amazing style ,,thankyou for giving back ,,, and really at the end of the day your a guitar god ,,peace man ....
Another thing, Don. I've never had any account "banned" here. And if you can get me banned, I will crawl over glass and kiss your pompous ass. You have no leverage at all here. You're just another half baked putz with delusions of grander who can't stand the idea that not everyone thinks you're god's gift.
PS. I know for a fact you are Don Alder though you're too balless to admit it because it would reveal what a self righteous prick you really are.
Wrong youve had 2 accounts shutdown and this is now your 3rd. Im sure theres more and nope Im not Don Alder. I didnt say I was going to shut you down you did it on your own and yet again with this account as its now closed. So YUP you got somebody mad enough to get youre newly opened account closed. Your lewd comments on other videos about young girls is probably what did it. Thats why you were blocked on Alders channel. Then you came to this channel to spread your pus. Glad to see you shut down
westerisbester is back with his insults to many folks this is his new account because his account was closed. Click on this user account below and youll see youtube banned him. So young So angry.
Huh? What did i say that was so angry. I said he was ok just not as good as some other guitarists. Do you have to have to think he's the greatest to post here?
And Youtube didn't ban me. i just signed up yesterday. WTF? Are you Don Alder? If you are you should chill man. You're good but others are better. Relax
Well your comment here is okay, its your other foul comments on other videos that have given you away as westerisbester. People just click on the profile for brokenareo1 and youll see his targeted activity. As i said theres some of us watching you now that your back again and will report you to youtube soon. You should apply to the Guiness Book of records for the most banned user on youtube. Also dude music is not about whos better obviously you dont really like music.
BrokenAero1 aka westerisbester and many other accounts, I wish I was Don Alder then I wouldnt have to waste my admin time dealing with crumbs like you. Some of the comments of yours that we have tracked show your such a sad little human.
Hey Don. Guess what? No one asked you to waste your time doing anything. You're on this pathetic little mission to keep me from expressing my opinion and it says a lot more about what a sad little human you are than anything else. You can't tolerate criticism and you can't take a joke. No wonder you spend all your time in your little basement apartment with your guitars.
I said you were ok. If that's not enough, too bad you fucking prima donna
Once again your comment about Alder's playing is logged and counted we realize that you dont like his playing and your comments about that are fine. Its your lewd comments on videos on his channel that have nothing to do with music. When you start making the comments you did about young girls your bound to get people upset. You did and now y our Broken Aero1 account is closed. No other proof is needed. People who truly want to express themselves have a name youre a coward.
i wanna play like this i know chords its the tapping kind of sound i want to do, looking every where on youtube to find a good teacher for this type of guitar use
I saw Alder last year in a club i Vancouver. He's an ok guitarist but what a terrible stage presence!! I think the guy is channeling 80's rock bands in his attempts to establish rapport with the audience. Still, some nice playing but he should edit these tunes: they get pretty draggy and repetitive. Maybe it's the BC bud!
I agree...a lot of this acoustic stuff is very repetitive. And it's maddening, but he's obviously very skilled. But with the amount of artists out there doing this same style, I'd rather listen to dog fights than this.
Dont be MAD, you dont want that. Just dont listen to it and everything will be solved. BTW every style/genre of music is saturated with arists so you better buy lots of dogs. lol
There aren't many people doing this kind of music, and the main hook is played maybe 3 times. I don't understand your critcism. But I suppose anything can sound repetitive if you didn't like it the first time. Personally I find it much less repetitive than say, neoclassical guitar. Different strokes I guess..
Did I say an ok guitarist? No, he's way better than that--very musical and lots of interesting techniques--nice sound too. But it's too bad he and other players in this style don't take these tunes and extend them into new directions or somethng. Maybe this style is in its early days and these players are laying out the basis of it. Maybe other players will come along and do something slightly more creative with it. But he really does need to work on his stage show I think.
Don Alder is the Boss of all acoustic guitars. Any guitar on the planet (within reason), he can pick up and play and make it sound like an elemental force. All guitars bow to Don.
you are right, but there are far better guitarists - jsut take tommy emmanuel or Don Ross Pierre Bensusan or the alltime famous Michael Hedges even if he is dead. But Don is among the 30 best for shure.
@MisterSheePz - Yeah well I only heard from someone else that this piece was in Double-Drop D, so I thought furthur clarification was required, especially considering that I've had trouble with the tuning before :P The song "War of Man" by Neil Young is in the same tuning and it took me a short while to figure out that my playing of it didn't sound right in just Drop D...
