Don Ross - Dracula and friends (Part I)

31/10/16. Casa de América estrenó su ciclo ‘Ritmo&Tuits’ con dos guitarristas de excepción: Don Ross (Canadá) y Pipo Romero (España).
Don Ross es un referente en el mundo de la guitarra, concretamente en el género “Fingerstyle Guitar”. Ha sido el único guitarrista en la historia en ganar el Campeonato Nacional de “Fingerstyle Guitar” de EE.UU en dos ocasiones. Por su parte, Pipo Romero se caracteriza por su particular forma de tocar la guitarra (Spanish Acoustic FingerStyle) y la mezcla de estilos raíz de una forma innovadora y transgresora, lo que le ha situado en el foco de los guitarristas a tener en cuenta en los próximos años.
El ciclo
Durante algo más de una hora, ambos virtuosos de la guitarra interpretarán distintos temas, que podrán ser disfrutados y tuiteados por el público. Porque una de las características principales de los conciertos de ‘Ritmo&Tuits’ es que el público podrá compartir sus impresiones, vídeos y fotos en la Red, con el hashtag #ritmo&tuits, para ser aún más partícipes de lo que ocurre en el espectáculo. Y todos los que quieran seguir el concierto vía online, también tendrán esa posibilidad gracias a estos comentarios, vídeos e imágenes, sin necesidad de estar físicamente en nuestra sede, el Palacio de Linares.
Además, los artistas estuvieron acompañados junto al escenario de pantallas en las que se proyectaron los tuits que se van lanzando.

I absolutley love the groove in this song.

[@SuperRambo111]

I love how he's just having the best time on that stage. Much of what he's playing is probably improvised and experimental on the go but it's clearly making him happy which automatically resonates to the audience too. Makes me happy when I watch him for sure. Brilliant Mr Ross!

[@ophiolatreia93]

Improvised or not, the small variations sound so good. It's such a chunky sounding song. My favourite thing to play on the guitar.

[@ophiolatreia93]

Probably my favourite acoustic guitar piece. You can tell Don loves playing this too

[@jeremythornton433]

Just amazing! He makes me smile!

[@Ferabrute]

That's so sick! you are so inspiring all of you guys but particularly you Don ;)

[@chuxmyk]

Wow. My ears😍😍😍😍😍

[@terrapinflyer273]

That Blues Brothers teaser though!! The amp couldn't handle it!! Loved the split second where the volume capped out. Perfection!

[@jobsonricciardi9988]

Muito bom!

[@terrapinflyer273]

Look at the tilt on that bridge! I want to test out a compensated bridge/saddle like that some day.

[@Ryderman2000]

I'm sorry but the part when he finds the time for the cheeky readjustment of his glasses just kills me every time 😆

[@ophiolatreia93]

I'm learning this. It's a lot of fun to play. There's one good tutorial on yt

[@Dollarkat]

You in a hotel Lobby Don? I freaking Love this groove.

It always makes me think of the dining room from Hugo’s House of Horrors..

[@vidtaminc5049]

Oh man he shown somethin that antoine dufour doesn't

[@DonRossMusic]

@@ophiolatreia93 Was that really necessary? My blood work is fine. Someone needs to grow up.

[@davidmchenry79]

Don Ross I realize that you’ll probably never see this, but you really do show something that Antoine Dufour doesn’t - the groove that you’ve got going on in this version is just mind blowing. This whole thing is SO deep in the pocket. It’s awesome to find a version of you playing your tune and showing that it’s YOUR tune. Thanks, this song is one of the foundational things that shaped me as a guitarist. It means a lot to me.

[@K-Viz]

@@ophiolatreia93 Terrible joke bro. Tsk tsk.

[@ophiolatreia93]

@@DonRossMusic I'm sorry Don, no it wasn't necessary at all. I cannot even remember writing the comment, it was two years ago and I'm really upset with myself that I said that. Hopefully you can accept my apology? I'm a massive fan btw. Are you planning to come to the UK any time soon.

[@ophiolatreia93]

@@davidmchenry79 I agree. Dufor plays it really well but Don's version is way cooler.

[@thejakeyboi]

Anyone know what the bass effect pedal is called? Great performance btw.

[@cooltrini11]

hes using a baritone guitar i believe

[@Kabiito]

He’s using an octave pedal (boss oc-3)

[@thejakeyboi]

@@Kabiito Thank you!

[@ophiolatreia93]

Anyone know what that guitar is? Love the wonky fret board

[@raywestcott6680]

Fan fret guitars have the main benefit of allowing a longer 'speaking length' of the bass strings, so you can tune lower without having the string get too loose. There are 8, 9 and 10-string fan fret guitars out there. I don't know if it improves/worsens intonation issues.

[@DonRossMusic]

This particular guitar was made by luthier Thomas Strieker in Germany, out of carbon fibre. The brand name is LEVIORA.

[@ophiolatreia93]

@@raywestcott6680 Speaking length?

[@ophiolatreia93]

@@DonRossMusic how much are they if you don't mind me asking?

[@DonRossMusic]

@@ophiolatreia93 I think that Thomas has put the company on hold. I think it was a tough go for him and I believe these days he’s applying his carbon fibre knowledge to the aircraft industry. I believe they were selling for somewhere between 3000 and 4000 Euros.
