[@frankw.1721]

fellow Michigander and guitarist here…also been to Elderly a few times; bought guitars there. nice to see and hear Mr. Daniels discuss, express, how the guitar is so much more than wood and steel.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching. Be well.

[@meteor1237]

Great interview! At 71 getting back into guitar about 15 years ago this really resonated with me. I’ve gigged out solo 18 times and great advice to keep it like you’re on the back porch. Yes often the guitar is your only friend. Thx guys!

I think every musician would benefit from hearing this interview. The way he speaks about his relationship with guitar, is something I think we could all benefit from being reminded of.

First of all Thank You Jeff Daniel’s for showing your love of music. I’m still a huge fan! Thank you Guitar Magic! Seriously, Jeff is the REAL deal. Love how candid he was…. ❤ Very thrilled to find this gem of an interview❤

[@guitarmagic]

Happy to hear you enjoyed the interview. Jeff was so forthcoming in this conversation and I feel like we all got to know a different side to him.

[@Illinois-Wildlife-Encounters]

@@guitarmagic that’s exactly right! And, a side that very few knew about. When he said he keeps a good share of his music private and always will , keeps it for himself… yes the interview was real, genuine. Real as it gets and that is something to see. Loved it. Thanks again for capturing this side of one of my favorite personalities and I’m thrilled he is as you said a danged good guitarist/ musician… who knew… so very cool! High fives all around! ❤️

What a wonderful interview of a wonderful guy. Thank you for this video...can't wait to share it. I am a nubie player at 65 years but can already appreciate what a guitar can mean to a person. Jeff's take drives home the power of a single acoustic guitar by itself. I'm reminded of John Denver's song This Old Guitar. I'm new to this channel, this is the first video I've seen of yours...now to watch the other's. God bless you for your style of interview...looking forward to seeing more.

[@guitarmagic]

Wow! Thanks for this note. Glad you enjoyed the interview. Happy to hear you are playing guitar. It is never too late to start and the guitar always has something to teach us. Hope you enjoy my other videos and please do share with friends of the guitar.

Loved this. Been following Jeff's playing for a good while now (thank you you tube) & just to watch his development on guitar is stunning. When my finger's find your string's has long been my favourite, & I was happy to see other's love & appreciate it after Kelly Clarkson's show, is just great. Great great interview, great artiste. Keep on Jeff do not stop.

[@stradaveriusfiddle]

I’ve had to pawn a thing or two over the years, at different shops. They all let you pay the interest to renew the loan when the time is up. I renewed a couple items more than I care to recall. Check your contact/receipt, call the place and ask them, all pawn shops operate by standard policies. It’s a lot easier to save up the amount of the interest, if you don’t have enough for the total loan plus interest.

[@manonbassguitar]

Absolutely outstanding interview. As a singer & bass/guitar player, my drummer & I used to giggle at some live bands we went to see or were playing on the same bill as, that would do all the cliche theatrics like jumping around on stage & be too unfocused on the musical content. We called it “All show, no go”. We used a philosophy that concentrated on “All go, less show” & we got good at some very challenging material. It was so fulfilling at many levels & what a bond we had.

Glad you enjoyed the interview. Thanks for watching. Lots of people have opinions, but I think the goal of creating - just to create - is a worth while endeavor.

What an incredible interview i knew he played guitar and wrote songs but not to this extent. I've been a performing guitarist and singer for 50 years and i feel the same way about the intamacy when a singer has only an acoustic guitar. I too am a finger picker and played lead guitar in a five piece band but my heart was always with the acoustic guitar. I would love to meet Mr Daniels the musician one day. Thank you Jeff and thanks for this great interview. Awesome

[@guitarmagic]

Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the interview. Sounds like you have a lot of music under your fingers. I played with a pick for 10 years, then, almost overnight, I switched to fingers. It just worked better for me to get my ideas out. An acoustic guitar and good songs go a long way.

[@fredziffel3443]

I can relate to his guitar history, almost verbatim. Started playing piano at 6, was given a cheap guitar at 10 y o, bought an Alvarez 12 string in 74. I crawled inside that Alvarez and didn't come out for 50 years. The world has changed, and I now own a 41 Gibson acoustic, 74 Alvarez 12 string, 73 Martin acoustic, a 2000 Epiphone Les Paul, and a 93 Taylor semi hollow body electric. I had a stroke last December, which left me with some paralysis in my left arm and leg....70 now and in my soul I can feel every note, every chord, every lick, from every song I hear... Life is about change. BRING IT ! 😁👍

[@gib59er56]

Fred it seems you are a big acoustic player. Those guitars are all super instruments. My path was not the same as yours and Jeff D.`s ,as a player. I went from trumpet for my musioc mandatory middle school credit but grabbed a guitar the same year 1979. 57 now and my Gibson Les Paul, Ibanez Premium and about 8 others. Still playing every day like you sir .God bless Fred.

Hard to believe Dumb and Dumber is something he had to do for a paycheck; Jeff Daniels is a real Renaissance man. His approach is similar to Steve Allen...great similarities.

[@larryschmid3834]

First of all Jeff is one of the best modern actors in American cinema, and gives James Dean and Brando a run for their money. Then you have found the imense satisficaction that comes from writing your own songs and letting your emotions pour out picking on a 6 string guitar. There's nothing else quite like it. You can play to 6 people or 6000 and get the same satisifaction. You are no doubt an artist of the finest caliber right up there with Doc Watson who was a genius at what he did with his music. Be what you Be, one of my song titles.

[@guitarmagic]

Glad you enjoyed the interview. Thanks for your comment.

[@dukeofearl4117]

Jeff, one guitar that takes you off into lala land and you just start to create things you never thought of before. That would be a rubber bridge guitar, with a pickup and flat wound strings. I took an old Kay guitar and now it sounds like heaven. And if you want to just buy a new instrument, Orangewood sells one.

[@guitarmagic]

The rubber bridge! Love that sound. Always makes me think of instruments from Africa.

[@tracyanddankuch3242]

[@keithosterberg]

It’s like I heard Emmylou Harris say, “Music is too important to leave to the professionals.” Me, I say “Play for yourself first, your circle second, your audience last.” Not that the audience doesn’t deserve the best you can give them, but playing for the audience alone will not sustain you or give you joy, in my experience. Now, if I ever get to the place where large audiences turned up to hear me, I might change my mind.

[@guitarmagic]

Personally, I think, if we aren't making room for regular folk to create music, we are squandering a lot of potential. I'm glad the pros are out there doing it and giving us a reference point of what's possible, but a lot of us feel compelled to make music for no good reason - and that's OK!

This was a great interview that was also inspirational. If only he didn't have TDS. I do disagree to the back porch being enough. If someone is writing songs, they should be shared with at least a couple of people. Even if one never gets paid for performing a song, it is much more fun when it is shared.
