Danny was a phenomenal player. I had the good fortune to see him twice. Both times he was extraordinary. Over the top. It is a shame more do not know about and can enjoy his music.

Absolutely unbelievable! What a talent, the Master of the Telecaster.

Loves to build street rods, plays the hell out of the guitar, never got too famous to the point of becoming a household name. Sounds pretty much like Jeff Beck, although Jeff was more famous than Danny.

Totally original technique. Jazzabily ! That's not covering it. Not even halfway. Genius

RIP Humbler

If you are a great guitarist, find a great vocalist. If a great vocalist, find a great guitarist. 2 conquer where individually they do not.

Charlie Rose, just terrible. Didnt know who he was sitting in front of.

Problem with Gatton, he was to advanced for the music and the audience.

That song Is Once I Had A Secret Love. Doris day sang it real well.

Would have absolutely LOVED to see Danny play live. He is the most versatile and talented guitar player I have ever, ever seen..and I was a musician for 15 years. Awesome…gone too soon!

He definitely knew that kneck like nobody's business. He played from deep within and he expressed his musical sensibilities from a very non conventional personal place within

4:59 jesus, man, not even a wow, or great job just a dead, unrealization of what he just witnessed. just wow.

what a stupid first question. Fame has nothing to do with technical prowess on an instrument. He didn't don face makeup and spandex and jump around stage screaming and grabbing his crotch so... of course a guy who mostly does session work in country music isn't going to be a household name.

Joe Barden created Danny's pickups so if you want phenomenal pups; whether for Teles, Strats of Jazzmasters, they are excellent and especially, affordable.

You ask xour self why does the interviewer has to be so sneaky ??? I guess that's how he got his job...but Danny is just above it

Danny is the real deal a complete master. But he didn,t have the I'm a guitar god poses or the million pointless notes bullshit Shredders play to impress 14 year old air guitarists. He dresses like he,s come to fix your roof and nobody in the world looks Les likely to be a virtuoso guitarist. But even the best guitarist listen to Danny in amazement and a little bit envy

Go watch the video of Danny and Arlen Roth jamming together, and making an album, talk about string bending craziness

Damnit let him talk Charlie, your fucking trying to finish his sentences, and interrupting him constantly with your word vomit

As a longtime fan- since that Guitar Player edition , this is such a great interview. I see a truly humble man and just an inch of sadness. Was he the”best” ? His mastery of the guitar is undeniable. Perhaps it’s the music consumer? They want something palatable. For me , his brilliance is simply jaw dropping. His death at his own hand is so completely sad . And tragic . Seeing this video only confirms what a delicate line there is in life. RIP Danny. You were the best.

His knee jerk response to say he’s not the fastest makes me feel like I need to be way better at checking my ego

At least we got Joe Bonamassa out of him. So sad that he didn't figure out how to live in his skin.

Totally awesome!!

RIP Meastro. You and your music will always be alive in our hearts and our ears.

Danny had more cool riffs and runs than anybody. So underated and so fantastic. Scary good.

Some sad stories and music. Reminds me of Joe pass

Guitar Player Magazine was a magazine that I DID read regularly

How’s he doing?

This guy interviewing really wanted to talk because he kept cutting off Danny

Crazy how talented he was but he was also so humble. You could tell he was uncomfortable with some of the questions about his virtuosity. Once in a generation type player. We miss you Danny.

Liz Meyers Band on Banjo and lead guitar Monster may they both RIP

Fame isn't for everyone. RIP Danny.

What year is this?

W O W

Thank you for everything Alan! Here’s a little something for fun: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3XIh6uEltlnftU

There are so many brilliant musicians , actors, comedians, songwriters, etc...who never get to the "bigtime" because it just didn't come their way...they didn't understand the business, they didn't want to move, they had other interests, their spouse wasn't into it, etc etc etc but this man is one heck of a guitarist...

Such a treasure video. But, i am also saddened a bit seeing him here, with his emotions all out and then knowing how tragically it ended. Such was his playing, all out for everyone to see with nothing to hide. Only discovered him in recent years myself. Such personalities have a hard time coping with the business side of music and are not very tolerant of some of things that surround it and therein also lies one of the reasons he never really reached widely known stardom. tx for upload.

The best ever. A total master at any style.

He was too rock for jazz, and too jazz for county, and too country for rock. Record companies didn’t know what to do with him…

He's is definitely missed. Thank the Lord I was able to see him in my early 20s. Still have a shirt he signed for me from Milwaukee summerfest.

Hello what is the location and how much was this space

Danny didn't like to tour and especially Europe. Can't become famous if you just play D.C. clubs. RIP Danny your the best!

Any more news on "The Humbler?"

Key to Danny, he was a banjo player as well. Right hand pick and 3 active fingers on the strings. Takes some doing and a lot of practice to wrap one's mind around that technique. Most throw it down as too difficult. Spanish finger pick style ain't easy, but if mastered makes for an impressive show guitar.

THE HUMBLER

Most unique phrasing from Mr Gatton indeed !!!

i even like his personality !

A true guitarists' guitarist.

Tele found its soulmate Danny! Rest in peace Master.
