This is exactly what makes Don Ross so great. How he's doing that funky little drive, having that half-jazzy Steely Dan-like thing going on harmonically, seasoned with nice flageolettes. This is funky, other fingerstyle guitarists with their sugar sweet pop harmonies are just left behind by this.

I first discovered Don Ross (and this song) in, of all places, the LAX airport on the morning of Feb. 1, 2013 as I was waiting for my connecting flight. I used a song ID app (SoundHound) to find out who was jammin' on the guitar over the airport speakers!

For THIS recording the tuning is CEA#DGC...one half step up from baritone tuning
@ChrisW2134114 жыл бұрын
okk the dude was asking how to tune the A string up to a B which is what is needed for this tuning. basically either try tuning it up carefully and try not to pop it or restring the 5th string with a thick D (4th) string and its so much easier and you can get up to higher tunings.

Baritone = guitar with longer scale than usual with bigger strings and lower tunings. This tune is almost standard tune except for the 'A' string (second biggest) that is tunned one whole tone up. So on a regular guitar, this tune would be, from low to high, E, B, D, G, B, E.

Actually, the tuning sounds more like CGCFAD. I could be wrong on one of the top strings (it's hard to tell just by listening to him play) so don't quote me, but it's definitely lower than the standard E tuning scale. Amazing song. My hat is off to Mr. Ross.
@ChrisW2134114 жыл бұрын
Very carefully ! OR.. this is what i have done. I got a thick D string and replaced the 5th A string with the thick D string which makes it easier to tune to the B. It benefits aswell especially for other songs like Andy Mckee's where the A string needs to go to a C.

@rogiermusic I think it might be CFBbEbEGC (that's a half lower)... basically EBDGBE two whole steps lower. I say that because the lowest note he seems to be hitting is a C.

@DuskY1991 Yeah, but I tried it and altough it was al long time ago, I was the closest to this tuning with C#G#BEG#C#. Why that F in CFBbEbEGC? Isnt it a G? I still have to learn this song.

@jesse.leger8317 жыл бұрын
CGCFAD sounds ALOT more like Don's tunning in this one then EBDGBE.... if you have any EAR whatsoever, the 6th string is obviously NOT an E. I'm still not 100% convinced CGCFAD is the correct one, but I'll see if I can't figure it out & post it. CGCFAD is very close though.

@zackwhite110 жыл бұрын
you're right in that it gets done a lot, but it's a basic part of the style/music/feel of how what he's going for. He's got plenty of songs that are straight finger plucking which I'm sure you can find on youtube. personally I love the groove set by the thumb slap, and I respect the skill of working it into the melodies.

its part of the rhythm and very impressive and personally i think it adds a percussive dynamic to the music. i think most will agree.

+Dougal McGuire For sure. The string hits are basically emulating a snare drum. It actually sounds a lot like a drummer hitting a snare drum with a brush. I love it.
