    I bought a blonde telecaster when l was 17. I’ve played it all my life and l’m 72 with that same guitar at my bedside as l type after finding this clip. I’d seen short clips of him before but watching this l finally understand that lve just witnessed the absolute master of the telecaster. Such a nice, modest and self deprecating man who was born to play it. True genius and the best tele player that ever lived. I’d sell my soul to be able to play half as well as he does here. Leaving in the minor blips just makes me like him even more. Van Gogh only sold one painting while he was alive and l sense a parallel soul. Thanks for posting this, l play with out a pic but now lm going going to try my hardest to emulate Danny’s left hand. It’s either that or give up!

    In 1991, at the age of 19, I was temporarily living in Dahlgren, Virginia for about 5 months and decided to pick up a guitar. I played that thing for hours a day every day (I had a lot of free time on my hands). Years later I heard about Danny Gatton and read his story and was shocked to hear of his suicide. Recently I started reading a bit about him and learned where his farm was - it was less than a 15 minute drive away from where I was. I would have loved to have met him.

    There's a TH-cam video that's very easy to find where Danny had a 12 y/o (or maybe 13 y/o) Joe Bonamassa jam with him onstage at one of Danny's live shows, and it's one of my all-time favorites. In one of them, an interviewer asked what he thought of Joe B's playing, and he replied with something along the lines of "I thought for a while that they were gonna hire him and replace me!" Man, what a *great* compliment from a really nice guitar legend! And yes, Gatton was old enough at the time to where other guitar players were calling him a "legend."

    He is by no means my favorite player what made him good though was that he had really cool ideas and a whole bunch of them. He literally could just do a bunch of different stuff whenever. But a lot of good guitar players can do that but he did it more like if you're playing at a VFW.. I knew guys like this growing up.. Whatever the song needed they could provide that style.. But this is about ideas.. Every good musician has their bag of tricks Danny has a lot of them

    I learned so much from this when I watched it back in 1992, really cool to see it again! Have to admit, my favorite part is 37:58!

    The only thing missing from this instructional video is STAR-WIPE. We need more Star-Wipe!!!!
    Danny was an absolute freak, I'm so glad he took the time to show us how to do it wrong as well as right.

    As soon as he mentioned smoking in nightclubs, I immediately became jealous of the time period he lived in. Imagine having the freedom to smoke indoors again. On another note, what an absolute shredder of a guitarist he was. My mind is blown every time I hear a Gatton solo.

    • @rectangularcuboid
      @rectangularcuboid 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Man even as a smoker I would never want to have indoor smoking bans lifted. We were all mad at first but that's because we didn't realize how ridiculous it was having 50 cigs constantly burning. Only downside is that once the smoke cleared I realized how ugly my friends had gotten.

      What does anyone say? Seems like the comments are very positive and I've never heard anyone say a bad thing about Gatton or his playing. Also why would anyone care enough that hes your favorite to actually say something about it? I smell pandering

    thanks for posting this (I bought this very tape (autographed by DG) as VHS back in 87 (as well as his "unfinished business" album..) I still use the heavy teardrop jazz picks !.. " it was in tune when I bought it" ! (top shelf gold) All the Arlen Roth Hotlicks videos are excellent as well (in fact Arlen Roth (in my opinion.. is an unreal crazy good tele player) VHS tapes now all obsoleted by technology (so this is good to see on here (I'd love to find the Emily Remler one I used to own) Danny made the Hotlicks one some years after this one.. so for "any" guitarist.. check out Arlens resources..(maybe they are all re-formatted and available .. ?) but yeah .. he made many many Telecaster Videos.. and all great .. and I credit him(AR).. for his contribution to guitar culture.. again.. thanks for posting..
