@nicotinefist its because it was probably performed at different angles multiple times and edited together it's a common practice when filming something, it makes it more dynamic
@nicotinefist the audio is one single take you can't just cut and glue that it would never sound continuous , the video is the only thing that's cut to get different angles
BRAVO! Good sir, Bravo! You have an amazing ability to make the riffs flow like... like... like the purest stream of awesome epictality flowing from the Great Music Mountain from whence all amazing music flows! I cannot give you enough applause!
Dude your freakin awesome. Reminds of what good music use to be and even now it still exists. Artists like you will always be in demand because thats what you are, an artist. u play and perform a craft that isnt digitally created. Keep up this kick ass playing for as long as u can because its amazing.
nuckin futs. wow. i'm happier than i was and so amazed. you are in a league of your own, they would have to make a new catagory and just give you the award every year. i got a lot of listening to do. i don't think this your only or first video.i'm excited to hear more. love it ...mercy buckets
@rillloudmother thats very clever.. i bet your like a manager at mcdonalds or something... anyways, to anyone else who's not a smartass or a dumbass, what gauge strings does he use? and what particular brand?
@rillloudmother i didnt ask the question to get some smartass answer. your a jackass and you obviously dont do well with ladies or you wouldnt be trolling youtube
@Djb579421 let me help you with some small part of your ignorance: assuming he uses a standard scale Guitar [24.75-25.5"] it is likely that he uses heavier gauged strings since lighter gauges tend to pull less tension at a given tuning. heavier string gauges would allow tuning down while still maintaining sufficient tension. if it's a baritone guitar [which is possible since don ross is a really big guy], then reverse the above.
@rillloudmother now was that so hard? thats all i was asking for in the first place but you had to drag it out into this giant argument. and its not ignorance, im relatively new to guitar and ive never taken musical theory or any kind of musical class to teach me that sort of thing so you cant blame me for my lack of knowledge.
@rillloudmother seriously it was just a joke, man. i would suggest having a sense of humor abut learning music in general since there is so much to know that nobody can know it all, even just the guitar has enough to learn for several lifetimes.
You know don, everyone says the same thing... your amazing... i believe your beyond that. Your playing is so real, fluid, and smooth its like you do it in your sleep. You and brooke both keep putting this music up, because it truly does make people happy to hear. Ive listened you since i started playing guitar and it just keeps getting better.
Great, might as well give up guitar now and take up the Triangle lol
Seriously though, I've been playing for years - as a 2nd instrument on/off, and the feeling you have in your playing blows me away... fantastic soulful cover of an ok song.. 5 Stars
wow I really love the way you make that guitar sound, you and a marc beneteau, your playing has got to be the reason for his building, thanks a bunch, your both amazing
Don, your amazing. I aspire to play as good as you one day. I can say i won a guitar contest with one of your songs! Won myself a shiny new Ice Blue Stratocaster!
@MrIbanezExclusive HOLY SMOLEY! That's freakin' GREAT! Do I get my 5%? ;-) Maybe you could send me a broken string as commission?!?! Seriously, that's wonderful. Congrats to you!
Don, I will abandon all my material possessions, my family, eat live tarantulas, donate a testicle, push an old lady down a flight of stairs, slap Chuck Liddell across the face, do a year in prison, whatever it takes if you will teach me to play guitar like you
I bought the tab. It is accurate, detailed and very clear. It is NOT like the cheap tab that can be found on tab sites. It includes tab and ordinary notation. I found the guitar arrangement itself is easier than it looks in the video. Good luck.
hey don, I see you're using the K&K Trinity too. i tried to change mic position quite a lot, but i don't get a sound that i really like. going to try yours. do you even use it for recording/live?
this is just great, Don truly is the master!
