[GarretsShadow]

Friggin beast!

[jacecrawford]

sick

[CyTheP]

bravooooo!:-D

[doublepolk]

What is that first chord?????

[sportfreak1616]

@doublepolk

Em7 maybe?

[rogiermusic]

I actually wonder how the tension would be on the two highest strings, pretty daring if you try such a thing.

[rogiermusic]

.013-.056 is sometimes called medium-heavy, heavy or medium, depends on the brand.

[rogiermusic]

extra heavy-gauge: .013-.056

There does exist a tab of this song, have to buy it. Also gonna buy this gauge of strings.

[AlleyFunk]

hahaha, I love how right at the end when the room goes silent you hear one guy say, "woah...".

[cujagu]

Seriously, how do you even come up with a tuning like that, much less play so well in it? This isn't rhetorical, I really need someone to tell me.

[ShatOnATurtle10]

@cujagu Just mess around, you would be amazed with what you can come up with.

[PrinceSir]

His guitar is specially designed. Some of the strings are actually base guitar strings? .....read that somewhere on a guitar magazine.

[alguira]

the thumb technique of ross is superb :S

[doanphap88]

nice

[KenobiFromCoruscant]

i bet don ross can play the guitar without actually touching one

[Rufio1775]

I have a feeling that Don Ross would shred on bass

[hollowtones13]

I strongly agree with that statement

ahah.

[Rufio1775]

I have a feeling Don Ross would shred on bass

[lip333]

The nose scratch at 1:23 is part of the show right? Or he is so good that he have the hability to pull out notes from his beard?

Thank u for the post! ;P

[marianig]

You'll often see Don Ross tune the guitar mid-song - balls....

[Bagrad100]

that is absolutely incredible. he makes it sound like a chinese instrument of some kind!! AWESOME!!

[jkshoujk]

guitarmusic1, I thank you for posting Don Ross' performances! They're awesome and I'm really liking his groovy...ness. lol

[AGenda92]

tuning AADEAE??

thats some amazing tuning..

[sernie92]

Many amazing tuning in his song.

[criminalcopkilla]

its a good song but if anyone can find a video of godzilla by don plzzz put it on here... and if you havent heard it download it.... its deffinatly one of his best!

[Poopfemur]

Yes dude Godzilla rocks

[DaDooM88]

where did you hear it?live?

[Lefey661]

Allways getting amazed by Mr Ross " AADEAE " haha don is such a beast with his skill. keep it goin.

[Juuuuuul]

Very nice song again, but as a nonguitar player I was wondering what that thing around his thumb is...? Or is it just a bandade =P

[DoctorRobotMan]

Its a thumb pick, its for quick, accurate strikes with your thumb. It faces in so you don't have to turn your thumb to hit the strings. Also since your not holding it you can use your other fingers freely.

[onegrayghost]

very common and handy tool for Banjo as well. I still steal them from my dad's banjo case to use them every once in a while on my electric. very useful

[johnplayerspecial88]

haha its a thumb pick

[googoogagmouth]

it all depends on the notes you wanna hit! most players tune their guitars differently to better enable them to hit certain chords or to do certain supporting melodies to their compositions so as to make them more solidly based! or something! i dunno, but it sounds great! it could also have something to do with the tonality, but eh! depends on the person

[cujagu]

How do you even come up with a tuning like this, let alone figure out how to write a song in it? I'm not asking this as a rhetorical question, someone please tell me!

[Poopfemur]

alot of times man I just tune my guitar till it sounds good then I just jam and something will come out dependent on how I feel

[jkw0789]

0_0......

BLOWN AWAY!!!

[Abysmaltormentor]

AADEAE? :D nice tuning.. do you know how thick the strings are?

[guitarmusic1]

I don't know personally ... but I'm sure Don is using mediums at least ... he might even be using a heavier gauge for the low 6 string to get it down to A without rattle.

[Abysmaltormentor]

that's right.. but AADEAE from the looks of it is very nice :)

[SafetyMan911]

@Abysmaltormentor He uses 13s. I'm 95% sure the E string is the standard .56. Getting a lack of rattle takes care, but probably just that. A lot of his guitars are long scale (26.25") so that makes it a little easier. I'm using a .59 string off a baritone set and that helps if you drop tunings a lot.

[jekrunner7]

this song is ok. But tight trite night is AWESOME by this guy

[Kregg17]

My reaction was the same as the guy at the end....

Whoa.

Amazing.

[RomeoZwerver]

Dont like the song, but does like the skills, don is really good

[mark1800]

[yumpin]

i'll be pissed off if someone rates this less than a five
