this thing came from somewhere alright: straight from the mind of Don Ross!! You are king of modern acoustic guitar!

People who hold a real understanding for talent never say one player is "better" than another. It is rude and disrespectful. Talents are simply expressed differently, and like beauty, it is in the eye of the beholder for which it is enjoyed.

I don't think I have ever seen anyone combine lead, rhythym and a driving base line like that before... That was simply amazing!

Funny how some sounds can take you back to a place in your past. This song reminds me of my childhood times on a place called Salt Spring Island. Dunno what is it about it, but it's very calming and freeing.

It's not about complexity. It's about musicality. Something that Don Ross is able to maintain far and beyond most players who try to play in this style.

Don Ross has to be one of favorite artists. I think he has been the inspiration of many of the recent trends in acoustic guitar. Don, Andy Mckee, Mike Golay and Antoine Dufur have been at the top of my favs for a while now although I think I like what I've heard recently from Brooke Miller which puts the modern accoustic style to an amazing voice as well is rapidly taking first place. Anyhow, time to go buy some more music! Non DRM high quality MP3's BTW - no I'm not affiliated with Candyrat!

I remember just getting into Andy Mckee and learning about Don Ross in 2007 when this album came out in early 2008. I gotta say, this collaborative album was one of the best I've ever heard and will be something I'll be making my kids listen to later on. Even though they'll hate it at first (it was Gordon Lightfoot for me), they'll grow up and learn to love it just like I did.

A perfect embodiment of mind (he studied composition), body (guitar playing is a physical discipline), and soul (a theologically-incined person). This shit's RARE!

I've been sitting here studying this piece for a few days, and I have the fingerings down (up until the bridge), but in doing so, I've concluded fingerings are only about 20% of the battle, and that Don is the master of what I call "critical subtleties". What sounds simple sometimes ain't, and the subtleties are what make this piece come alive.

Just to get people started, the first few chords are: B, B/A (B again but with an A bass note), Eadd9, Aadd9, Eadd9, repeat x2, A, B, Emaj9. Bear in mind, the chord voicings Don uses in this song are not standard, but the tuning is. Have a play with the chords see what you can find.

Those riffs sound good for me and I totaly think that it's a great source of inspiration for everyone. Don't do what poeples already heard, just create what you want and everything will sound right cause that is real inspiration. Don't play an instrument to be like everyone and play normaly, create and push the limite like Don is doing. Those harmonics are perfect :)
