"In 2010 Ross is now a Dalhousie University professor teaching history of guitar and techniques, while still travelling extensively for music."

What will make me like an instrumental is if the player as any sense of groove. This is all about groove, excellent.
Had to search back to 2005 in the comments to see if anyone else thought that Ani DiFranco must have been heavily influenced by Don Ross' technique. I've never heard of him, but I'm keen to hear and learn more. |

This is a great example of a song I would give high marks for talent and musicianship but overall I'm not crazy about. Songs like this I often don't rate.

How old are you........ 10? This guy is a master...  Don't get me wrong.... his use of harmonics, along with his rythmic patterns can be somewhat repeticious, but annoying?.... I think not. He plays from his soul. |

Not too shabby...reminds me of Andy McKee's stuff. Actually, according to Wikipedia, Andy lists Don as one of his influences...they even did an album together.

I think this is very good - and the first person I thought of was Preston Reed also. I wish Preston would get approved here on RP. He is amazing. |

Don Ross calls his music "Heavy Wood" and the live version is identical.
At the last concert I saw, an intent front row would-be guitarist was so distraught by the DADGAD and other unusual tunings that his request was for "anything in C"
By the way, he's won the American Freestyle Guitar title (twice, I think).

It's funny you say that because I thought of Preston as soon as I heard this. I tried uploading Preston Reed - Slap Funk but it didn't make it. |
