- Nashville guitarist and Telecaster lover Daniel Donato (Don Kelly Band, Wild Feathers) is no stranger to country-style chicken pickin', but he has taken the known standard and suited it to his own playing style, making use of all of his (precisely manicured) digits, creative picking techniques, ghost notes, and be-bop inflections. Watch as Daniel runs through some of his tricks with us.

"I'm glad all those guitarists never leave Nashville, because if they did, I'd be out of a job." ~ Jeff Beck
Did he say that... Really?
Yeah .. BUT .. there is only ONE Jeff Beck ... !!
@@PhillipNeal Yes, he actually said that.
Many players know this

Thoroughly enjoy this young man's intelligence, ability, and enthusiasm for the guitar ... Especially since it's a TELE!
That tone is amazing 🔥
They say, "You think you can play guitar, until you go to Nashville."
The guitar players actually do grow on trees there
Absolutely. I bought this guy's lesson book from Hal Leonard and I can't even play the slow examples... It's insane
Yeah that's very true. There's 4000 guitar virtuosos pumping gas and washing dishes everywhere you go.
never got the concept of going somewhere were all the jobs are taken already........
This is definitely the wrong spirit right here. Talk poorly about them and their devotion to an art, rather than recognize that it's okay to be deeply passionate about something, even if it doesn't make you a millionaire.
Love his contagious enthusiasm on top of his virtuosity. Did I also mention that he talks very smart?
Peter Ganev “very salient” ?
“Proprietary sound” ?
He clearly doesn’t know what those words actually mean lol
Agreed. Very smart and imaginative with both his playing and vocab. What a bright and talented young dude.
Toxic Potato particularly his use of proprietary makes little to no sense
Salient, based on one of its definitions...... ok, it’s passable.
But “guitar sounds denoting ownership” ?
Doesn’t make an iota of sense at all lol
What’re you, his attorney?
He’s saying there’s a boastfulness to this technique. A kind of inherent bravado.
Peter Ganev if I own a guitar, my relationship to it is a proprietary one
If I describe a riff as proprietary? I fail to see how that makes sense. To be charitable, maybe The specific riff being proprietary of the genre ?
Such a weird thing to say... seems like he’s being unnecessarily verbose. If it’s not grammatically wrong, it’s certainly weird.... I’m not calling the dude a bad person, it’s just silly to me.
This kids got these old dudes in the comments all insecure about their playing and vocabulary. Lmfao
yeah... I hate him already! Just kidding. extremely jealous old dude. just kidding again. a little
Amen! I love him! He made me learn country licks even though I hate country!
+Alejandro Cisneros I made a clock out of my tele
Absolutely charming guy. I think I‘m learn some of these licks.
John Alderon..spot on mate
What a great player -- so good to see young cats like this pushing things forward.
"It just waxes on, never off." Ha!
sounds like an old fart with a fender twin with the reverb turned up to 10, grates your nerves
That was a funny line.
The is is the first hybrid picking lesson that mentioned replacing a pick upstroke with a finger pluck. No one else mentioned this in the ten videos I just watched. Thanks man!
Saw this dude probably 4 years ago on Broadway. One of the slickest guitar players ever.
No wonder I'm so drawn to this style of playing. As a drummer/guitarist, those ghost notes make it like you're playing both a percussive and stringed instrument simultaneously. This was a great lesson!
Maybe the best young player around at the moment. Just on another level.
Alex Otterwell totally. Check out Marcus King too if you’re not familiar
Definitely agree. Check out Trey Binkley from the band Goosehonk. Unreal playing. Only place to hear music right now is their website, but the EP is coming out next year. www.goosehonk.band
Look up polyphia
Check out Andy Wood
Not a competition but Joe Robinson is great too
I've been playing guitar for 20 years and I still have so much to Learn! Thank you Daniel👍
This dude reminds me of Ripley from Aliens
Mr.Pastorius get away from her you bitch
@@AlexGordonMusic haha
Cept w less testosterone
he mostly comes out at night..mostly
COSMIC COUNTRY!
Brilliant tutorial and demo - very clear. This young man is going to be a fearsome talent in country and country rock.
He’s the king of Nashville right now.
He shit too if he`s well fed
this is what practicing 12 hours a day will get you... awesome talent
Hot damn. I would love to learn all this!
Phaser=instant Waylon Jennings! Great lesson
I don't think guitarists in the 70s were allowed to play without phasers.
Yeah, first thing I thought was the tune Luckenbach, Texas. Kind of like it, though.
I heard some Talking Heads in the beginning. Life during wartime, I think.
Danny Gatton on your shirt ... close to your heart ... surely he has been your idol of the telecaster guitar and his technique ... you are an excellent descendant of the GREAT guitar master! or not Daniel? ...
Coolest switch tip I’ve ever seen.
Love the humble smirk after he finishes playing. His sound is wonderful.
I never thought humble and smirk went together in a sentence until now. Great observation
Chicken pickin will be the new sweep picking craze. Mastodon has been doing it for years though.
In terms of metal-oriented musicians, Zakk is the king of chicken pickin' and he was doing it long before Mastodon was even a band.
wayyyyyy before!!!!!
Ever hear of James Burton.
Check out Danny Gatton.
Don Rich is smiling down from Hillbilly Heaven. I love me them old Telecasters and chicken picken and diesel electrics. Along with the entire ethos of.. something or another...
Awesome playing!
You are an amazing guitarist !!!!!!
This boy is a monster
I'm curious - you say near the beginning that you have to get used to the pick only being used for downstrokes but at around 3:20 you show a slow playthrough of a lick where you use three downstrokes for the triplet section and then when you play at full speed it looks much more like a standard down-up-down on the triplet - is that just my eyes playing tricks or are you really so other-worldly that you can play triplets at *that* speed with three downstrokes??
Great tutorial Daniel
I’m gonna go ahead and quit telling people I play guitar now
Guess this is one of those self deprecating comments that are left on every guitar video that expects reply's like "Best comment I've seen all day" You Should have said the over abused "I just threw my guitar in the trash.
What a great player.
I'm really happy to see the younger generation of country musicians doing their thing, and adding to the lexicon. Still very country, but building and adding their personal signatures to it.
I've been hybrid picking since forever and the pick going up is a staple. It's a natural part of my strumming and I'd never be whole without it.
Inte3resting style and very cool guy
Found you on GAB.(James Woods Tweets) Must say, you're one of the better gtr teachers out there. Me? 40yr. Gtr player. TY.
This young lad is just awesome.period.
This dude is so good in pretty much every video I've seen of him
And he's 23, yikes! A monster in the making!
Saw him play in a bar a couple months ago. Live is nuts
@@parsonscbrian awesome, did you know he was going to play there or was it a lucky accident?
He's is a full grown monster here and now
If only we could design a pedal that'll help any guitar sound as good as this Tele. *sigh*
Every time i see a young person rippin on any instrument it gives me hope. Daniel is a great player at 23 - just taught me some stuff to work on.
LOVE THIS LESSON, thanks for sharing with us mortals lol Peace !
Amo tocar música
Daniel is amazing... love his style. And he seems to be a really nice guy
This guy is fantastic. Blows my mind
This guy is Spider Man actor
Cosmic Country. Daniel Donato is so fresh and exciting. Love this dude.
So what fingers of your right hand are you using?
It’s like no one knows how to actually go to the D on “Workin’ Man Blues”... 😜
Great video Reverb and Daniel, great playing and teaching
7:15
I hear a lot of influence from the godfather of nashville guitar --> Buster B. Jones
So it’s NOT the finger meat, you are using nails??!! Went I try it sounds so muted (I have trimmed nails)
Pfffff hahahahaha this kid is ridiculous! I'm a rock, classical and Flamenco player. I look at this and go DUH!!!!WTF! LOL
this is a good lesson! and Daniel has a great sound, I like him
My guy sounds like a typical surfer stereotype but picks like the inbred from deliverance
The older you get the worse you get
Nice.
He's got a phaser goin. Waylon would love Daniel so much! We all do. I've got a phaser, now I need a tele.
Acrylic nails haha that's interesting. I always like the sound of the flesh popping the strings. The nail thing just feels wrong if I try that
Totally countrifies the playing, if you want that... Had a meeting with a ditch of glass and hard to get that one going with the feeling missing in that area but it is quite a different experience doing this stuff.
Seeming to be he uses alternate pick in spots
Love my shred. But this kid is the future. So passionate and into it. Superb.
Inspirational guy... there is a musical intelligence here that you don't see very often. Awesome player :)
3:11 buuut he is picking up in these triplets
This lesson is great. Not to slow, not to fast, not too much talking, easy to learn.
great lesson on hybrid picking. Thank you.
This dude is so cool. (that he plays country is even cooler)
Is that a phaser or harmonic trem or vibe I’m hearing?
phaser
Either way it's annoying.
Dan Labrie it was a huge part of the sound years ago. Especially in the music he is obviously influenced by. Its on a lot of country records from the 70s
exactly also Albert Lee used a lot of modulation, just take any Emmylou Harris album up until the early eighties
Grow your nails out boys ,
What if because you alternate pick all the time you have the ability to make up strokes with the pick and add in the other fingers? I use to only play this picking style with down strokes, I learned it from listening to Jason Becker explain how he did Mozart's Symphony 25 in G. I just wondered what if you did up strokes but kept the rhythmic vibe of hybrid picking. But I am wondering if it is considered the same or is it something different?
Daniel Donato is the truth. Keep is Cosmic y’all.
What kind of finish is that
the riff around the 5:30 mark reminds me of Steve Morse Ice Cakes
What planet is he from? Geez. 23.
Is there an auto wah happening here?
MXR Phase 90
Please, have my phased hybrid picked babies!
I'm stealing that last riff love it!! You killed me with the Beyonce. lol
I’ve been playing and teaching for 20 years. I love it when kids like this come along:)
@Ashton Heston He’s *not* a kid, lol. I just meant the talent level of some I’ve seen, and had the honor to teach.
I just notice that he has a “danny gatton” shirt! 🤙🏼
Mariano Ulibarri thanks. I never noticed that. Danny Gatton was the best. Until now maybe
IDK if he’ll ever be topped.
@@RedPillTruth2023 no, still the best
Nashville cats, been playin' since they's babies!
He looks like that one stoner guy from Dazed And Confused
Divine guitarist!!!!! Great talker!!!
Is this KFC Tom Holland ?
No matter how old these country-style pickers are, you can hear the Don Rich influence in every one of them.
Epic
4:04 - 4:24 holy shit
When I first start playing guitar I really wanted to play bass and always had problems getting on with a pick so I developed a hybrid picking technique with my right hand and legato with my left to compensate for my alternate picking weakness. I always saw it as a handicap but then I discovered the country greats and it was a lightbulb moment. Great video Daniel and reverb!
Man, never play bass w/a pick. Use fingers and thumb always.
Nah, I'm saying when I played guitar early on I had wanted to play bass so I played/play guitar mostly with my fingers and without a pick
If Tom Holland was a musician. 😂
Very inteligent kid!
genius
The whole concept of "Ghost Notes" originated in drum and bugle corps where they would write flam patterns but not play the tap and only play the grace note and they were called ghost flams. a GRACE NOTE on drums is a little note 3 finger spaces above the head and are very quiet. Drummers using "ghost notes" are actually just playing little grace notes in between the regular back beat. Tap or Accent depending on your notation.
This guy is a G. Such a ripper and really articulate at spelling it out for us plebs. I’ve noticed that the normal speed presentation of some of his licks (on this and other vids) that he plays them different than his slow speed demonstration. It’s hard to slow down your playing once you get it down, not his fault but notice in the first lick that he hits like 3 more notes on the normal speed than the slowed down one. He has an extra second finger pluck, if you want to copy that one for extra sauciness rather than the slowed down version for us step dads
Bro all musical explanations need to be articulated this well wtf. Is he some young genius Berkeley professor or something??? X'D
Its a very hard style to master. (must be in your DNA)..And even with constant practice, some never "get it"..including me..
At 1:20 when he plays the lick slowly, he doesn't play the same lick than 5 sec before...
But well, the important thing here is the concept of the right hand.
Cool sounds, name of the last song?
Why use a pick tho I heard what you said but I like the whisper sound from the fingers your very awesome the ghost notes I know I just cant play with a pick it messes me up
This kid knows his shit........
🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Beautiful fretboard
This dude is the absolute shit. Best chicken picken teacher ever. He breaks down the right hand tech better than I’ve ever seen it done. Cool bad ass kid
The country version of Phil X. Ha!
Dang He’s awesome. I think he would be a good guest on the Marc Maron podcast. Knows his stuff and is good at talking about it
