[WarriorOfTheHeavens]

Don Ross... The Man With A Beard and Long Hair. He has A Blue T-Shirt, that has seen many washing machine's and his Guitar come's from the great forest......Don Ross The One and Only Blue Bear! lol.

[JureN4life]

Guys just practice...!!!!

[ThisBenJams]

i would pay a million bucks to play like that... i i would have a million

1:34 can anyone say me the cords to play this jam line home? Is it a e blues i cant hear it...

[almightyhydra]

[TheSnippers1]

[QuistTV]

[2minds2many]

When you're this good, you don't play guitar, the guitar plays you!

[dunielyaoh]

@2minds2many in sovjet russia the guitar plays you!

[mcusys]

พี่แกเล่นเอามันอย่างเดียวเลยอ่­ะ ฟังขัดๆหูไงไม่รู้สิ

[MrNflow]

I play guitar, but i never knew a guitar could make that kind of sound! Guess im to young to understand..

[theguyMS]

BOY!! THAT WAS SOME MIGHTY FINE A PICKIN' AND A DIGGIN'!!!

[MrBoblangan]

hell yea

[xXTHEDOUCHEBAGXx]

Huh. I think 'Live DVD' is an oxymoron.

[ddfarnsworth]

i bet there was weed involved ...click like if you like weed

[ScottBrunelleMusic]

@ddfarnsworth Or if you think this guy is a senseless idiot. Nobody needs substances to write and play music, and a Professional with as much passion as Don wouldn't even think of it, in fact, he's stated so himself many times that drugs are not necessary to produce great music. Maybe if you stopped smoking and started practicing you would stop making such assumptions.

[RiouxItsMe]

@ScottBrunelleMusic "Maybe if you stopped smoking and started practicing" hahahahahahaa great point!

[xXx123NutsxXx]

Go Hagred go!!!!!

[mutley2209]

buying a new Bear Claw spruce top guitar soon, will be naming it Blue Bear after this song (^^,)

[byange821]

it does make you see a blue bear..haha...so cute..but hard..

[comets1977]

wow, i mean, woooowwww

[ShadowCloud143]

Dear CandyRat Records, Please start selling single tabs instead of bundling them. I want the tabs for this song but I don't want to spend money on two other tabs I don't want. Please CandyRat Records, Please.

[HamishM150]

@ShadowCloud143 You can buy the tab for this separately on Don Ross' website.

[bigkd69420]

@HamishM150 ha yeah good luck figuring that mother fucker out

[Joet80t]

@ShadowCloud143 try his site

[BaritonGuitar]

This guy is incredible, can't believe my ears!!!

[bigmogreen83]

speechless u rock dude! i listend to this song like 80 times already xD

[jshawn777]

what genre is this the one he's playing?

[KingKoboldMcMarco]

@jshawn777

its called ''fingerstyle'' but don ross describes his music as ''heavy wood''

[fleshanditspower]

love the energy!

[fuerstyaqub]

are there any tabs for this??? would be great

[6FeetUnderwaterBand]

I think this song is about him. :)

[chrisjanovich]

Don Ross is one of those guitarists that just embarrasses us bass players. He says, "who needs a whiny bassist? I'll just walk that line myself:

[loknloll]

@chrisjanovich he's not the only one that embarrasses bass players. you guys usually do a pretty good job of that yourselves.

eat pizza.

[ChristopherSEAY123]

@chrisjanovich Watch Michael Manring's "Selene," then you'll know that bassists don't even need a guitarist.

[1Pantikian]

he reminds me of Garcia

[random123471]

nice

!

[ZebMacahan]

Only if thou feels the FUNK can this be played...

[KrummyBear]

....Such a flawlessly written song.

[Surfister]

My ears are soooooooooooooooo stoned!!!!

[Tiggermiao]

guakamolly!!

[simuko98]

Masterful

[theinfernalhess]

Science just recently discovered that a performing artist, during his performance, has far more activity in his brain at that moment than in any other discovered activity in the the history of our evolution. No, this does not include the rolling stones. lol You still have to have brain cells for them to join the nexus. :)

[Gnarlycardz]

don ross is a big awesome bear

[KungPowH]

Listening to this song all day = best thing evaaarr.

[KensingtonTasteful]

@VictorSaengar...The eargasm starts at about 0:04 and lasts till about 2:54

[musicman753357]

That is one sick ass harmonic arpeggio he does at the end, on handedly.

[BenBahMusic]

wicked sick.

[voukis6]

[daithesceptic]

I'm quite an old guy, and so tend to love the music of my youth. People like Bert Jansch, Martin Carthy, John Martyn, John Renbourn, Davy Graham.

This guy takes what they did much further.

Wow!

[johnnypoopiepants]

he looks like a bear

[vendetta1332]

your mom..

[superdanlewis]

@johnnypoopiepants hagrid?

[EggaChoppaDooey]

@superdanlewis =)

[Twiztedshot]

@johnnypoopiepants first thing i said was he looks like poo bear lol

[hogendorn]

?

why?

what?

[fxxkuxu]

jealousy

[brownpaperrag]

dumbass lol

[Pubsicle]

I have to say one of the finest performances ever. Mad skills bro

[liennosyarg]

From what I can see, this man is the product of Peter Jackson, Hurley from Lost, and Hagrid having a baby. Then God went "Holy Hell! Three men making a baby?! This one's special!" So he blessed him with the best damn guitar skills ever seen on Earth.

Or so the story goes. =D

[OxnerdKi]

he has the same hair stylist as the cowardly lion

[MidNightSummer1]

@liennosyarg

hehe, your story definitely made my day =) nice one!

[adsensus]

More like God made Peter Jackson, Hurley and Hagrid in his image and decided to make music in his spare time.  :)

[comface]

@liennosyarg Kevin Smith was also added to that mix. Obviously.

[Danielj9409]

@liennosyarg he looks like a bear, and play like a beast! lame joke clap here.

[CJVdeGruijter]

@liennosyarg haha omg great story! very entertaining

[ZOMBIELANDakaUSA]

@liennosyarg

I just stated in another thread these guys are Jedi's of guitar, definitely from another world.

[jurnag12]

@liennosyarg And the baby was carried to term by Chuck Norris.

[Twiztedshot]

@liennosyarg that stops already filled by tommy emmanuel. this guy can be second or third probs

[maxfalter]

lol nice guitar.

with funny things on top.

you are a good guitar player

[deficilacharumnome]

maaan, pleaase, could someone post a turorial of this song, or tell me were i can find the tabs of this song, e reaaly would apreciate it

[BobBBobby]

Damn..! I almost thought for a moment there, Jerry Garcia was still alive, off drugs, and learned how to really play the guitar.

[mallek1989]

@BobBBobby HAHAHAHAHA!!!! DITTO!!!

[hittheforeign]

yeeeeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! Don, you got real skill man!

[thebishop72]

This is fantastic stuff. My only complaint (and I can only imagine that it's Don's too) is that the acoustics in the place seem really poor. It should have a much warmer sound, especially since it's mic'ed.

[mfgx5hf2]

@thebishop72 it could be the recording equipment used to film this video though perhaps...

[thebishop72]

Isn't this supposed to be the "Live DVD"? If that's the case, why would someone as exacting and talented in his musicality as Don agree to use such a shitty recording device? Especially since it's (I assume) being sold...

[KiptaviusFuzz]

It doesn't seem shitty to me

[Indivisualternative]

Sweet playing and sweet jumbo... i ll go look for mine now and play ^^

[themarco84]

NICE

[Thestargazer5000]

Am I the only one who keep imagining

"Bear In The Big Blue House?"

[ejones1588]

LOVE THE FUNKINESS! Don, you're the inspiration!

[Zobbes92]

this is my favourite song :D

[saviour29]

@Zobbes92 it is not a song bro...its a tune...

[slimturnpike]

meedly meedly. players like this an tommy emmanuel  make me nod off.

[stargate669]

@slimturnpike time to put your britney spears cd on then and rock out.

[AriocKaichi]

then go cry about it

[fasaxify]

yeah man but ho the fuck are you?

[efgrocker]

i learned every thing i know from him

[ncphillips19]

You took lessons from Don Ross?

[stargate669]

@ncphillips19 I once tried to cut Don Ross' hair to duplicate his DNA but he put me in hospital for 7 months. Please a note to anyone don't try and cut Don's hair while he's sleeping at home. He gets very aggressive and has a large Rotweiler called Sydney with very sharp teeth.

[slimturnpike]

just another guy with an opinion, like you.

[lag481]

i love the riff at 1:16

[p4ulg1lb3rt]

lol either hes huge or the guitars tiny... 0.0

[thecabshow]

how did he get off the island? or did the lost season finally end

[IbanezHunter]

ahahahaha....omg lol i about died after reading that

[thecabshow]

haha he looks so much like him!

[Richardl22]

He's the king of candyrat!!! :)

[Edoss1]

Its like watching Fabio make love to a gorgeous woman, only a hell of a lot nicer on the eyes and the ears.

This song is awesome. More technical fingerstyle but still very Don Ross. <3

[smokedontcry]

the phone in the backround ( large black rectangular box on the wall) is from the 20s

[skyke12]

i hope one day i can compose and play like this. your a great inspiration Don. Thank you!!

[CapelaArcana]

I don't like acoustic guitars at all but Don Ross is amazing!!

HEAVY fucking WOOD motherfucker!!!!!!

[a1bra1ham]

i like his upbeat blues acoustic slapping style...if thats a style :P

[Muzikman127]

Heavy wood :p

[petrursus]

I wish to know if Don Ross is on the "bear scene"....

[ratchet20751]

no hes married

[petrursus]

pity.... but I don't care. I thought that for the names of his songs....

[Shevaron]

I thought Ross was a painter

[mareed129]

That was Bob Ross dude.

[garydupuis]

Hehe, I always wondered if ol Bob was high when he did his thing. Such happy lil trees and all...LOL

[tinaLUVSaxl]

just like always a buch of fags arguing when you should be listening to the almighty don ross

[supersnake93]

why must people argue on youtube. its pointless

[ElliotTheMoose4]

Could we please stop talking about grammatical errors and enjoy this awesome music

:-)

[GarrysModComedy]

Obvious troll is obvious

[fmachadomaia]

That, my friend, was a beautiful response =D

[fmachadomaia]

tuber23504:

I know you are teaching an idiot a lesson but try not to overdo in th vocabulary. This is youtube after all....it makes you seem pedantic

[ShEcKo00]

hey im play tis song watch my video enter im chanel!!!!!!!!!!

[LikidySplitz]

ok Most asians work hard and that is why they are better than most lazy white kids. Hows that?

[LikidySplitz]

Are you naive? Hes asian. All asians work hard. and practice for hours! There are no fucking prodigal asians.

[xxxslayerxxx666]

that's stupid, there are millions of asian bums, just as there is in all races

[drumminmeatball]

This guy would be my hero even w/o guitar skills. I'm judging this book by its cover

[saledokic]

wow man :S soo cool

[chadography]

"heavy wood" at its finest. great tune don.

[joshfx99]

HeY! Peter Jackson Rocks! XD

[dime0wylde]

idiot. thats not peter jackson. its steven speilberg. obviously.

[akj375]

Lookin' forward to seeing you again in Western Canada.

[LemonsRgo]

he looks like hagrid<3

but wow, he truly is an amazing player

very innovative style.

that funky/country style is quite catchy

once again, another amazing piece by don ross

[yodafreak721]

i agree, i believe they call that jazz

[mushroomz88]

This is in standard tuning. sweet leapin jesus.

[Mrstenfors]

What a´drive in that man

[hahameZX]

No one is better than anyone at guitar, its what you like...

[nuceria]

While I have to agree with the point you're trying to make, yes some people are better than other people. I, for instance, can't play guitar for shit, so he's better than I am.

[snakesuicide]

The king OF GUITAR

[FaddaWolf]

oops, i meant funky.... FUNKY!!!! my bad guyz... but it is... REALLY GUD MAN!!!! pass me the moonshine!

[yharyhar8]

lol....no more moonshine for u i think

[FaddaWolf]

that bear is FUCKY man!!!!

[CooleyCoolenson]

for some reason, this reminds me of weather report

[ShatOnATurtle10]

people will hate me for comparing, but i believe tommy is the best "player" because of the difficulty, but don is a better "composer". By the way, dont tell to shut up and listen, cause half the views are me :)

[Thulle3]

Stop comparing musician/artists. It's friggin pointless. Just enjoy the music.

[killerdragonguitar]

i saw him and andy makee live it was amazing!!!!!

[TheGoochyboy]

watchout for smokin joe robinson from aus hes the next tommy e and hes only 18

[SUNHOTSTUDIOS6]

Tommy Emmanuel the Man....I really don't think so. Don's playing is far superior and is heartful

[maidenjuice]

Scary fingernails. Hair cut. Nicely curled strands. Um, nice groove. But.... The Man is still Tommy Emmanuel. Period.

[tpritchas14]

what a touch man

[Twister689]

dylad, some acoustic pickups dont require a battery. for example lg wells. usually the battery is for the crappy little equalizer and built in tuner. but the pick up itself, naaah

[uoo0o0]

yeah, thats right, like the LR Baggs M1 passive. it needs no battery.

[Jabberched]

That one looks like the fishman Neo D

[uoo0o0]

yeah i know... i was just placing an example of an electric pickup that does not go under the saddle, and yet does not require a battery :P
