[@DonRossMusic]

Hey folks! Thanks for the kind words! Yes, standard tuning revisited. I've never had anything against standard tuning. It's still the tuning I played in first and know best, even though I rarely use it. But it was the perfect tuning for the chord voicings and the vibe I wanted to get for this tune. And many of you have picked up on the Motown feel, which was most definitely intentional! And the most direct inspiration for this tune was a Hugh Masekela chart called "Grazing in the Grass."

Alice Springs and a new thumb nail...2022...Thank you...fantastic Don, ta very much...Lynd

[@WillieTaggett]

I never knew I could be so inspired and discouraged at the same time

[@tenacious645]

Every time I watch this...It's brand new. I'll go months without watching anything like this sometimes, but when I do come back around to it, it reminds me that my love for this type of music is no fad or chapter of my life. It is and always will be important to me. Thanks Don Ross and everyone from Candyrat.

[@omg-vert]

The only reason why I haven't bought any of his music yet is because half (maybe more) of the magic for me is watching him play.

[@nathansedgewick782]

Love dons music. Every pce I've heard makes me happy and gives me a feeling of joy. Love what his brain comes up with musically!

[@Drumtome]

This makes me smile one of those real smiles, the ones people can't fake.

[@ddack809]

I love listening to your music. Watching your fingers fly over the strings and the fretboard is hypnotic.

[@treyboone]

[@Sting575]

Amazing job

[@Blazerdsx]

oh man!! I've been looking for a way to implement that add9 to some jazzy improvs but MAN this is far better than I could've imagined of doing!

[@justinwuwuwu]

Just amazing as always. I feel like this song is in standard. Finally a candyrat song in standard! yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :D

[@realpowerinvest]

You and Kelly Valleau are the best acoustic stylist a the moment for me.

[@theironmountain]

don ross is a boss.

[@haykikos]

he is the DON of Guitar!!!

[@GuitarPUNK1209]

Great song to listen to when you're having a good day

[@drumstyx6464]

I was trying to figure out why I knew this song...I have it on his Robot Monster album...wicked song!

[@warriordrum]

You can't hide the fact this was a one take video and recording. The chord mastery and speed here is noteworthy, and I love the tune as well. Not sure if its in standard tuning (maybe drop d) but its a refreshing break from the completely crazy tunings proliferating on Candyrat. The washed out black and white works for me as well.

[@squidskunk]

4 PEOPLE HAVE NO SOUL.....lovin it....!

[@wardimey]

I've loved this song since Robot Monster has been released

[@rizkijonathan3337]

you're not only luckied, you're blessed

[@iisnot]

awesome playin'

[@AngelOfDeath1897]

Love it ^^

[@vanillabear05]

Great tune Don, been looking forward to another from you! Looks like you've lost a lotta weight as well, good on you!

[@AcousticLabs]

The master...

[@Unholyspaghetti]

epic song, epic beard, epic skills = epic video FAVORITED

[@MikaSkoog]

non-stop!

[@fugalibrana]

I missed the double bass solo... Sounds great with the guitar in the background :3

[@mattdcs15CORK]

Thanks for that, I was wondering what it was! It's one hell of a beaut of an 'alt' tuning =P

[@jaechangko2003]

Well done Don

[@Drewster58]

I really like this dude's funky style, more jazzy than most of the acoustic 'slap tappers' out there all over the place, kind of like Michael Hedges mind-melds with about 1/3 of Tuck Andress 'Reckless Precision' album on a jangly cool hippy acoustic from when the band 'America' was hitting high on the charts.

[@joeybidster]

love it man.. my favourite tension (m9 til i die).. Perfectly executed don :) jbx:)

[@1wookiee420]

@DonRossMusic Hi Don, love your music and I'd love to see you play live...any chance you'll be in the Carolinas in the near future? I saw Peter Ciluzzi, Craig D'Andrea, Gareth Pearson and Ewan Dobson at The Evening Muse for Candyrat Guitar Night, and I'd love to see the master play!

[@crossingzero]

@Guitaaaaaar LMFAO Thats good stuff man Classiest post Ive seen in a WHILE....

[@shiroi_jpg]

Niesamowite

[@theeighthsea]

I grinned the entire time I watched this. :D

[@tenacious645]

You know it's great when you find yourself humming it later on.

[@QueenofdreaMerz]

nicely done

[@GarretsShadow]

I love the first chord

[@Blazerdsx]

I knew it was standard tuning the second I heard/saw the add9 chords. way to put a great use of them.

[@IChoseTheRedPill]

conservation of movement... you always impress me...

[@whatsmyageagain91]

Instant like at 1.2 second.

[@woodbridgecrenshaw3588]

I want his music as my own iphone ringtone ! It's awesome XD

[@RafaelOliveiraBR]

É muito bom ver algo que presta diante de tanto LIXO no youtube!

[@user-qg6ch3pu3y]

Играет как дышит! Круто!

[@MrDanGodfrey]

You're making me jelous...Got my arm stuck in a cast for 3 months and can't pick up a guitar in that time. Seeing/hearing playing like this is really giving me the urge to play BUT I'VE GOT 7 WEEKS LEFT. AAAAAAHHHHHH : ) Nice playing man.

[@flamingtoady]

I love that I coincidentally have the same guitar strap as him.
