I am quite excited everytime I read something about fingerstyle guitar players. I don’t play this way, but I enjoy every second watching one of these guys playing. I have posted here a couple of videos of Sungha Jung, a fingerstyle guitar player of only 11 yo, I have posted about Andy McKee also, I have posted about Phil Keaggy, which I consider to be one of the best ever…

Today I have seen this video of Don Ross, a true artist! Here’s a beautiful performance, a beautiful song and a very smooth way of playing the guitar!

Enjoy and comment!

Judging by my personal experience, I think that there is no guitar player in this world who never dreamed of being rich and famous. I think we all dreamed and wanted it with all our heart. I know I did! From high school to the end of the university years I have dreamed about this. I was ready to make sacrifices for this, to go anywhere for this and do (almost) everything.

I remember that at one point there was this show on TV, organized by a national television channel, where bands all over the country came and play on a professional stage on the beach, being broadcasted all over the country. Of course every band in this country wanted to get there and play. So we wanted too!

We went there, we tried on the first day but there were too many bands and we came in late, so we didn’t succeed. Because it was already too late (in the night) when we realized we will not make it for that evening, we couldn’t go anywhere to rent a room for the night(private rooms at the local people, cheaper than at the hotels). Of course, we were young and with no money so we didn’t afford a hotel so…we slept outside, on the beach.
