I loved Dann before I knew how to play guitar and before I knew it was him that I was loving. His brother is killer and I saw him live with Michael W Smith in 85. David was amazing and such versatile and clearly such a performer - and he was wearing 80's shorts. God, I love them both so much!!!! My journery to Cropper, Paul Jackson and others was via Dann. Thank you Dann! What you have done is way more deep than the music and gear. It is deep. I don't say this lightly: whatever God is, God must love music and God uses you in wider and deeper ways than any 1 little religion can claim to own!

Back in the 90’s and racing Jet Skis, I spent a lot of time at the lake. Giant was my go to music at that time. The past few months I’ve been setting up some playlists on my phone and re-discovered Giant’s music. Damn I’ve missed it and it took me right back to that time. Now I’ve started watching a bunch of Dann’s interviews and really appreciate all of his contributions.

I was 45 yrs old and it takes me 42 yrs to discover the 3 kings of 80s LA session guitar heroes which is lukather Landau and Huff. 2 of which are not familiar with me (Landau and Huff) but I never thought that those good guitar solos I heard on countless records back in the 80s is their solos. And I begin to rediscovered their sound. I thank Richard watson. His videos introduced me to the genius of lukather Landau and huff

Bro, thankyou so much for bringing up the MWS stuff and the work that Dann did in the contemporary Christian music scene. His work in that whole scene is just amazing and set a course for me on my musical journey. May not be relevant to your channel, but needs to dig Brown Bannister out of retirement and talk about the work he did in Nashville in the 80s.

I first heard Dann when the first Whiteheart album came out. I was instantly hooked. I was also a huge TOTO/Lukather fan and Mike Landau. These three guys are the ones who taught me how to play guitar. It's like Dann said, the great thing about liking session players is that you get to hear them all the time so there is a lot of material to learn from

When Last of the Runaways was released, the band did an interview with Mark & Brian on KLOS in LA. He was asked how he came to be the lead singer on the album and he said "They hated me most" (meaning the other band members). I was at work listening to it and I fell off my chair laughing. After all these years I remember that because he was just as humble then as he is in this interview. That album, and Dan's playing, has influenced my playing to where I don't even realize when I'm ripping a Dan lick or scale run. Such a unique style & phrasing. Dan is The Man and thanks so much for doing this interview.

Great job! This was the best interview of Dann that I've heard. I was a huge fan of his lead phrasing in the 80s/90s but I would love to hear more of his isolated guitar parts from his studio work. Christian James Hand did a track by track breakdown of "Heaven is a Place on Earth" and it was amazing to hear all of Dann's isolated guitar parts and how they fit with the rest of the instruments.

OMG, forgot about Dan n playing with Van Stephenson on Modem day Delilah with Mike Baird. Never heard any other tunes of theirs but remember HAVING TO catch it on the radio and record it to cassette and then learn it. Would love to hear the story behind that one! That song didn't get a ton of love for very long, but a hidden gem. Would be a fun follow up video to do that song on your channel. BTW, Evidently are 2 versions. The one that played like crazy on the radio for a bit and another that I never heard until looking for the song on Amazon Prime music after watching this video n you mentioning Van Stephenson. Wonder how that all came about? Once again, fantastic content n love your channel!

Thank you so much for this John. Like many others I’ve been a massive fan of Dan’s since first hearing him in the 1980’s and your interview with Dan is just great! You covered so many of the aspects of Dan’s playing and career that all us ‘Dan fans’ are really interested in. It was really respectful and lovely that you took the time to point out to Dan how much his work has influenced and means to so many people around the world, including here in the UK. On a final note of tabbing Dan’s solos, it would be great to see you tab his solo on ‘One reason’ (to believe) on Rick Springfield’s ‘Rock of Life’ album circa1988. It’s a relatively short solo but Dan’s legato playing is just sublime and still blows my mind every time I hear it. I think its an outstanding piece of work by Dan that seems to get overlooked, in fact his playing along with Tim Pierce is fantastic throughout the whole album.

Was at a bookstore meet/QandA with MWS back in the early 2000s and came in late, ended up in the back. My young daughter, however, managed to get to the front row and kept raising her hand. Finally, after a dozen questions in, Michael looks at her and says, "Do you have a question for me, sweetie?" Her response: "No, but my Daddy does." The crowd erupts in laughter. Michael shades his eyes and scans the room. "Where's your Daddy?" I raise my hand grinning and throw my question out: "I see Dann Huff's name showing up on your albums. What can you tell me about him?" "He's an amazing player... " Michael starts out and trails off in thought. "Oh, I'll tell you something. I can be in the studio and watching Dann add his parts, and as soon as he's got a riff or solo down, he looks up and goes, 'How's that? Hang on, I can do that better' or 'I can give you another version' and he does it. Again and again and again. So many amazing choices from a great player." All these years later, I can still picture that moment.... and still wonder at those 5 last notes on the "Secret Ambition" solo... 24 frets, Dann? Maybe a Harmonic in play there? Lol.

I remember an article in GP magazine where Dann said he was appreciating the playing on a song and it and wondered who the guitar player was. His friend looked at the liner and says, " you're not going to believe this, it was you!" LOL I got into playing guitar because of Dann. Listening to his work on Amy Grant's Lead Me On, I wanted to play guitar like that. I realize now that he probably played anything notable on 90% of what I heard during that period in my life. I think I lost my appreciation for him after my friends trashed him and Giant when CCM came out with a bad review of the new Giant album (92?). Looking back I think all of that was stupid. I'm glad he did what he felt was right. I'm getting back to my roots now (It's taken awhile, right?) and this interview is amazing! I practically fell out of my chair laughing when you had to explain to him what "Combustion" was from. You did an awesome job, asking great questions, and bringing up relevant details. Dan is a great guy.

When they were talking about the inception of his 63/64 ish guitar. People online argue that it's not the same guitar that he used throughout his career. Yet Dann just stated that he used that guitar in about 95% of the work that he did. It's gone through at least three different costume changes over the years. If you go look at the back cover of white heart vital signs that is the guitar he is shown in that picture. But at that time there is no mid boost on the guitar at that point. That same guitar later had the mid boost added and can be seen when he's playing with Van Stephenson on American bandstand. You'll notice that the toggle switches for the parallel/series switches were moved closer to the five-way switch. The holes are still there from where they were originally located. One of the holes from the toggle switches is where the mid boost knob was placed. Also during the white heart era and working with Van Stephenson he was using Seymour Duncan pickups but they were all hot stacks. Not sure when that bridge pickup was switched out for the Duncan JB. But I've had people ask me are you sure that's the same guitar? And I say yes it is and they still don't believe me. It's not like Dann didn't have other guitars and just walked into the studio with one. But if he used it for 95% of his recording then obviously that's his favorite guitar.

It’s tabbed! Going to put it on the site this weekend. Then I have to play it somehow for the video 😳 Dann explained he doesn’t read TAB but he’s got the site address in case he gets curious.

Nothing to forgive, happy to do the tab! It may take hours but I do enjoy it. It’s like a puzzle. And I had so much horrible TAB given to me over the last 30-35 years which just solidified playing a song incorrectly, I vowed that I would obsess over each tab I do until it’s as perfect as I can make it for others to learn (the right version).

@@sessionsolos Bless you brother. I can’t wait to see you play this. Dann really took to you. Reading between the lines it seemed to me he wasn’t overly happy with the Mason interview. I know quite a few session players who knew Dann back in the day. I am trying to get them to hook up with you. Shawn Tynan. Tony Gonzales. I think RJ Ronquillo would be a great interview. Tommy Dernander. Kristian Larsen would also be Awesome. Have a great weekend brother 🙏

He had me at LUKATHER! Love Luke. But as a fan of reading liner notes, no one did as many sessions, even with Christian artists, as Dan Huff and Tim Pierce in the 80s and 90s!

I always comment on this but, Dann was a great singer as well as a great guitar player. He really seems to downplay his vocals a lot.

Bradshaw systems were straight stereo until 1989 that’s when Bob started doing wet/dry/wet. I saw Danns system in 1988 he did a session for my father in L.A he was running into 2 12 inch speakers on stands set up in the live room.
