@AUGUSTOAUSANIO Agreed, I have all his books and DVDs as well. He is the best teacher that I have come across with. Wish I could take some personal lesson from him.
Lovely to hear the Les Paul sounding big time warm and jazzy, on such a great tune, so well played. You inspired a video response. We hope that you like it. Best wishes, Dave ('Small Days')
Don is so inspiring as a player and was one of my favorite teachers at GIT. Listening to him always makes me want to pick up my guitar and learn something new.
Amazing guitar player! A Great Musician and teacher, Don Mock is a master on ultra-modern synth guitar and also a magnificent traditional player in the great be-bop and hard-bop tradition. Unfortunately I he never played live in Italy......too bad!
I miss the Rhumba-style ending on Round about midnight.....:-))
Holy Crap, Don! Thanks for makin' the rest of us feel like knuckleheads. Just kidding, of course. Well, kinda. My absolute favorite teacher at GIT '79-80. Wonderful human being and one of the greatest players on the planet. You still inspire me. Thank you!
He is brilliant. He was one of my favorite teachers at GIT. Funny, you'd go to a lesson/counseling with him, have a great session, it would be time to go and Don would be saying, "Wait, one more thing, there's this..." etc. It was great, he always was so giving and wanted help you. GREAT guy, GREAT player. Should be better known. But all that have known and heard him understand he is top shelf.
Don, from my days at GIT in '86...I will always recognize the genius that you are. I wish you could have experienced more recognition for your skills and knowledge but many of us truly know. Thank you for your wisdom and insight into the music!
Incredible how a talent like that is not famous and on stages across the world, is absurd, he taught at all, was a founder of GIT, wrote some of the best texts for teaching modern day classics now, a talent so could bury those who wanted ...... but he did not, remained more or less in the shadows, also record the testimonies are very few, mystery of mysteries.
@fullbach Well said. I couldn't agree more! An unheralded genius pretty much sums it up. I learned so much from Don when I was at GIT many years go and I'm still learning from him today. What a talent and a cool guy as well. My favorite player...
Incredibile come un talento del genere non sia strafamoso e sui palchi di mezzo mondo,è assurdo,ha insegnato a tutti,è stato uno dei fondatori del G.I.T,ha scritto alcuni dei migliori testi di didattica moderna oggi ormai dei classici,un talento cosi poteva sotterrare chi voleva......ma non l'ha fatto,è rimasto piu o meno nell'ombra,anche le testimonianze discografiche sono pochissime,mistero dei misteri,genio
My favourite guitar player and probably the best guitar player in the whole damn world,it has greatly saddened me over many years why he has not been heard and seen more and made more albums,not living in the US it has always been my dream to learn from him,i hope one day i can meet him and let him know what a huge impact his playing(what little i have heard thru his videos and 2 albums) have had on me spiritually and my playing,god bless him for being !
Amazing. Thank you for your inspiration and willingness to share your knowledge. I own five books (Melodic, Harm min, Turnaround, Target Tone, Modal Mojo) , and I've learned a lot. Hope someday to see your gig!
