JamPlay Welcomes Don Ross - Guitar Lessons Now Online

JamPlay.com, a leading platform for taking guitar lessons online, now welcomes Don Ross! Don is a masterful Canadian fingerstyle guitarist, recently traveled out to the JamPlay studio in beautiful Colorado for a three-day shoot. With 18 albums under his belt, countless accolades and praise, Don is recognized as one of the finest solo guitarists in the world. He finished first place in the Walnut Valley National Fingerstyle Guitar Championships on two separate occasions, cementing his status as best of the best.

During the shoot Don taught a full phase 2 series on Fingerstyle guitar, his genre of choice. He starts by covering the basics, including whether or not to use a fingerpick and the roles of the individual fingers. He then moves on to talk about a plethora of altered and open tunings commonly used in the genre, including Drop D, Double Drop D, Open G, Open C and DADGAD. He also covers  travis picking, natural harmonics, slap harmonics, brush harmonics and a series of picking hand techniques. This is a complete series for any aspiring acoustic or fingerstyle player. He intersperses the learning segments with demonstrations of his own material to set the tone.

Concluded in mid-October, the filming session resulted in major contributions to JamPlay's Artist Series section.

"Don was a real pleasure to work with," says Chris Smith, a JamPlay.com engineer. "He's one of the finest musicians I have ever worked with, and on top of that an amazing person." Don's lesson set is now available in the JamPlay Member Area.
