Daniel Donato on His Journey to Nashville Guitar Stardom | Reverb Interview

[@andy96356]

What's with the negative comments .he's a nice kid with a prodigy like natural ability who has put in the hours and dedication. Case closed.

[@mveronie]

The Internet's full of negative people. Daniel seems like an authentic human being to me. He's real and not trying to put on some persona for the camera, and I guess 'realness' makes some people uncomfortable. Easy enough to ignore them. :)

[@andrewshipp2739]

Spot on!

[@samxday]

Met him after a show at Roberts. Nice guy. Awesome talent.

[@blakewicklein8571]

That intro put me in my place as a guitarist. What a monster picker.

[@BigBrownSwag]

Seriously what an inspiration to young Fender players.. I don't think I've seen someone that young rip a telecaster like that. I'm 24 and I've been playing for 6 years and I aspire to be able to work a guitar like that.

[@NateTheMeh]

Monroe billy strings all day every day

[@jhayes1189]

Been playing for 20 years, would be thrilled if I ever get 1/10th as good as Daniel. Keep picking young man for all of us

[@scottycunningham1413]

Kid paid his dues. It's humbling to see such a youngster reaching such heights but he did it the right way. You can't knock a dude that not only worked on his chops but networking as well.

[@danielhoskins4690]

I’m growing to like this guy more and more. Good interview, thanks.

[@G.Patrick_Johnson]

This young man seems like a really cool soul. I wish him the very best!

[@freerun1080]

Man.. Besides of being a killer player.. I like this guy and his personality so much

[@robc1615]

This is what the guitar world needs badly - fresh new talent , who will inspire and influence the next crop of guitar pickers.

[@isaacjohnson.]

Great to hear his backstory. An amazing player earned through lots of hard work and tons of practice. Wish him continued success on his journey.

[@johnfunk7568]

Love that guy! What an incredible attitude! Totally taking things by storm!

[@Crinkle65]

A breath of fresh air. Love that dude.

[@jackscenic]

You don't acheive this level without 1000's of hours of dedication and practice.What an incredible role model you are for kids in your age bracket. Great things come to you when you work harder than everyone else, but you must pay your dues like this young fella did.

[@christinebreton7804]

We just caught Daniel in Nashville at Acme. He is so incredibly talented. It was so awesome to watch him play.

[@XLBiker13]

Daniel Donato is awesome. Such a ridiculously talented musician. Love seeing these young torchbearers for the future of guitar playing tearing it up like he does. Just as importantly, he seems like a really good person. Humble, respectful of those who cam before him and a really hard worker.

[@alward5678]

Great story. A hungry musician, working hard to get successful. Love it. Great player. Good for you.

[@stormedbyhippiesc3966]

Such a badass, epic player.

[@Pizzasalladland]

I remeber decovering theese live videos. Amazing. I Hope i can go to Nashville sometime.

[@marvinstarr6399]

That is straight American Epicness. Real hard work paying off for a dedicated individual.

[@Bittersteamtrain]

I wish l had 1/10th of your talent, kid. You are terrific.

[@joeblow337]

[@deanbanks3392]

Daniel is not of this planet--he is other-worldly.

[@davidlaskiewicz4963]

Awesome guitarist!

[@scottyducati35]

Awesome player! Home to see you again at the CMA’s on the strip. Future legend. Wish I could pick like Daniel.

[@andyorr1597]

I need some lessons from Danny!

[@SSRT_JubyDuby8742]

Real nice insight, thanks 😎🎸✅

[@JohnHenryPatrick]

When I'm young again, I wanna play just like that.

[@sinnertrain7405]

Don Kelly is the country version of John Mayall when it comes to hot rod country guitarists. This guy can play!

[@bryanlettow4389]

Man I need some of those licks in my arsenal!

[@live4christ297]

seems like a nice guy 🤙

[@jacksonfrazier6130]

He’s so good

[@BIZARBIES]

Cosmic country!

[@yourdrummer2034]

It's incredible how you can see an obvious master talent on guitar, and you get the "internet masters" trying to cut him down. Keep jamming Sir! At a level few if us will ever know. Don't Hate the Playa! Hate the Game! Lol

[@BoyAditya]

I feel like kid in 90s all over again, seeing his haircut (^^) looks like Hanson's guitarist

[@mr.yellowstrat3352]

3:40 was the exact same run from the opening

[@torontolarrivee7965]

it's duplicate footage i think

[@jodycopeland1]

I build tele style guitars would love to hear you on one of my creations

[@ChantixSupreme]

Message him on Instagram!!

[@30smsuperstrat]

He's a real wild Penelope!

[@josivanalipio]

brasil \m/ 🎼 🎸\😎/🎸🎼 \m/--->> Spectacular professional guitarist of great quality

[@JGSnave]

Noway the scars on that guitar are all natural.

[@SafelandingRecords]

5:09 you can see it all clean with no marks

[@Guitarsncadillacs]

That’s what thousands and thousands of hours look like.

[@nate-hk5bf]

3:40, 3:43, 3:45, 3:47, 3:50

[@jameslyons1661]

[@ziggylayneable]

"The Haight Ashbury of Nashville,but less progressive".... Oh hell yeah sounds like my kind of place.

[@stevenbeechey]

DON-TATO

[@waterkill97]

Jerry Garcia if he played really fast and without a jazz influence.

[@ripplebear]

Jerry fkn Garcia. Glad to hear younger players diggin on ol Jerry

[@daviddigital6887]

Goober Pyle

[@OGStazzy]

My guitar teacher has nothing on Daniel

[@lukasm8990]

"I beat one of the hardest songs in guitar hero the first time I tried" ...no you didn't, kid...no you didn't.

[@gdawgs101]

I had the same thought. I was like "it takes like 8-10hrs of gameplay just to unlock Through the Fire and Flames, no way in hell he beat it the first day he played it...

[@adonato2718]

He’s not lying 😂

[@adonato2718]

Yep he did.

[@gdawgs101]

@@adonato2718 Source? I still don't believe it 😂

[@adonato2718]

I’m his sister.

[@bassprofishe1549]

this guy is the quintessential millennial guitar player

[@alejandrocisneros7442]

He's very spastic. I think it's because of Adderall or lack of? Who knows!? I hope he isn't on the white stuff!

[@stevebrule9343]

CallmeGape millennial guitar players don’t often play Nashville country, and never this well, you fucking idiot.

[@roberthoule9693]

don't you guys have any rock guitarists using a Tele? lol

[@austin7530]

There’s zero chance that guitar wasn’t relic’d on purpose lmfao. It takes decades to get that kind of wear on the guitar.

[@greyarea1004]

Fight Week! Podcast seemed like a vague answer haha so maybe not

[@jmo1366]

This kid has played more gigs in one decade than most people will in 3 or more. It's real.

[@rickdixontn]

You can search out other videos from as far back as 2013 when he had the same Telecaster. Not relic'd.

[@xXATrainXx]

nah..

[@yomuthabyotch]

spider-man plays country guitar!
