The Captain Meets South African Blues Guitarist Dan Patlansky

[@Br4dButt0wski]

Dan Patlansky is easily the most underrated guitar player in the world!

[@kingbrutusxxvi]

This is so overdue. Dan is an incredible player and not enough people are paying attention. Watched a post by Dan about lowering his pickups as low as possible to get great tone and it worked like a champ. I really recommend it. Cheers.

[@fedup3449]

Just tried that on my strat - didn't make a jot of difference. Am i missing something?

[@umleitung1555]

What the hell is that tinkling noise all through the first half!!!!!! Arggggghhh

Sell your music and give free samples to radio stations, they will pay more attention. I’ve never heard about him except on youtube🤷🏻‍♂️ at some point I know some artists don’t really enjoy playin’ the same things again and again when you know how to improvise and everything. The thing is most of popular music just stick into your head because it’s too simple and repetitive sound patterns that are tastely chose for that and only that puspose, to sell. 🤷🏻‍♂️ try to play the fastest and most complicated song of Steevie Ray Vaughan on the radio and see how many people will really hear it or if for 89/100 people it will just be considered as noisy and irritating🤷🏻‍♂️ that’s modern world. Simple and efficiency. That being said, he is a great guitar player and I know nothing about him, I just answered your affirmation and that doesn’t concern him I don’t even know what he have done yet

[@Karlgolden]

Just love the tone he gets from that Strat man! 👌

[@alexnosheds]

Karl Golden Low pickups 👌🧲

[@gdawgs101]

@@alexnosheds Are you referring to low-output pickups or low pickup height?

[@alexnosheds]

gdawgs101 ideally both but if you can only do one thing, try lowering yours down quite a bit, it helps give it that “starved” sound. The magnets won’t be as heavily saturated with bass. There’s an interview with Dan somewhere where he talks about his gear and pickup setup, worth searching for here on YT

[@alexnosheds]

gdawgs101 it’s this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXLIYqmXqbWjsKM

[@707king]

gdawgs101 low output. I just put some low output pups on my strat and mannnn the tone is drastically different from my MIM standard ceramic pups I have in there

OMG 🐝⚡️ Thanks for everything! Dan, Pete&Lee!

[@TRBassMan]

Honey Bee Amps Good job bro, need an amp from you.

[@HoneyBeeAmps]

@@TRBassMan Thanks! Check my instagram and website! honeybeeamps.com

[@garysmith2983]

You might need to lay on a night shift after this. Great promo for you guys. Stuff sounds great.

[@CristobalBragagnolo]

Serious sound amp man! Hope to get one soon

[@WihanStemmet]

Proudly South African! It is always 'lekker' to see when a truly deserving great guy from the tip of Africa gets recognized in other parts of the world I love how down to earth he also is. My wife used to manage a little theater and he played there a couple of times - the one thing (apart from his obvious 'next level' skill) that she commented on was how easy going and humble he is. Dan - you are a very good ambassador for South Africa. Keep on shining, boet. You deserve moerse success !

[@mattdoesstuff8987]

Never heard of this guy until now. I have not lived until this moment.

[@ayeapprove]

Go watch his how to setup a strat video then, it's amazing

[@simonbeckwith]

My favourite one so far, Dan is a monster player

[@charliepayne9248]

What an incredible guitarist, great style of playing, what a privilege to listen to him...! Beautiful guitar also.

[@johnnymossville]

This guy can just flat out play! Wow, what great tone and feel. Thanks Andertons for bringing him to us.

[@frankieconcepcion7860]

Dan is one of my all time favorite guitarist! Huge influence on my playing and tone. Would love to see him in the States, he can play with anybody here even Bonamassa and Mayer

[@drdre4397]

Man Him, Bonamassa, Gales, Kingfish, Joanna Connor, Gary clark Jr., philip sayce and Josh Smith would be a dream blues festival lineup.

[@joshoptical]

Fantastic. So rare to find a young guitarist these days who has ears like these!

[@garethhastings6641]

As a South African... great seeing Dan on! Great show as always! And thanks for drawing attention to our rubbish postal service - it truly is horrible ;)

[@paullaughton3440]

Dan you are amazing, thanks to the captain for organizing this!

[@IlseFerreira5]

There is good. There is great. And then there is brilliant😮

[@mattparker9706]

Can we get a follow up video, "A Dane Jams with a South African"!?

[@jbolo5378]

I need that in my life

[@addisj]

[@KrishinPillay]

Great to see a fellow South African on Andertons TV!!!

[@antonioalejandrohernandezp6727]

This is one of the best "Captain meets" so far in my opinion, I´ve really enjoyed this. Dan is an AMAZING guitarist and a such nice guy. Thank you Andertons!

[@Incognito_alien]

Awesome!! Thank you Captain! Dan is an amazing player. So happy for my South African brother making waves around the world.

[@garthkirkcaldy3808]

Representing South Africa! Yaaaaaaaas! Go Dan! 😎😎

[@SimonGoddard]

Dan is such a humble guy without an ego. He is one of the greatest guitarists in the world and when you meet him, he is very approachable and taught me the importance of phasing and tone. Love you man!

[@davidcotton6999]

Superb playing, and fantastic Strat tone!!! Great guy also!!!

[@motoguitard3344]

Lee is the best. From sports to guitar to whatever, the best interviews are a conversation. A back and forth. He nails it man. nails it.

[@nicovanloggerenberg5463]

As a South African that has been watching your channel for quite some time now, I am immensely proud seeing a fellow South African on one of your episodes. And then to make it better is that you got Mr Dan Patlansky, the best Blues brother I've seen live and had the pleasure to meet. Good episode and thanks for getting him on! When Shaun Morgan from Seether is closeby there, get him on as another South African! As well as Francois van Coke! You'll be happily surprised! :-) Thanks guys!

[@Dresdenfolife]

I loved this interview. He is such a great player. Thanks Andertons!

Stop the presses! This is the first time I've sat through an Andertons video and not have to turn down the volume! =) More attenuators please (especially when Chappers is on) - Captain's interview was fantastic! The transition from interview to guitar playing was incredibly seamless! Thanks Rory and Pete! The mix for this interview was AWESOME!!! =)

[@natfingerboard]

Finally someone notices it too besides me, it seems like no one in the youtube community knows how to balance speech and music, be it transitions or straight up gear demos. I always have to have my finger on the volume.

[@bryanstansbury5802]

One of the best tones I've heard on the show!

[@modelcitizen1977]

His finger strength is incredible.

[@stianmaritz1869]

Yes! Dan is the real deal.

He's a phenomenon...great guitar player...super video

[@rsdsfk]

Yes! Philip Sayce next!!!!!

[@janbrenner9488]

Dan is such a nice guy who lives and feels real music. I saw him live two times and it always was inspiring and a high-energy-experience in small clubs - playing the Strat he talks about here. I don´t know why he is far beyond the radar in germany so far. Lee, as always, awesome interview!

[@Chris-wm8gs]

I saw Dan play in London at The Borderline earlier in the year. The best £20 I’d spent in years. Mindblowing player and fantastic live performer. Great guy, with a brilliant taste in socks

[@newday7155]

Saw him supporting Satriani a few years ago. Blew my head off. My bones are still rattling.

[@ParkerD-Music]

Wow Dan’s got some serious chops, great playing and interview!

[@tacratt6091]

Cap’n got that beat going so funky you can smell it!!

[@ianstratford1914]

Going to see him in Nottingham, I can't wait

[@Twizzlemenizzle1]

First time I Saw Dan recently on a strat tone vid. What a player.

[@thatpeterboy]

What a great guy Dan is...and what a tone, great stuff Capt :)

[@gavinalmeida1994]

Theo Crous was the guitarist for a local(South African ) band called Springbok Nude girls, very talented man. PS I met Dan at this Saturday morning Jam session that local teacher Jimi Gomes used to organise for all his students and some more invited people , great fun. Dan's dad Phil is a champion.

[@codymccormick7317]

Man that intro jam hooked me. This guy is a straight blues machine. Thanks for this one, Captain!

[@rockarena666]

Great player, great guy!

[@KevDook]

Dan the Man - all about TONE !!!!!!

[@grahamhaynes4284]

Spot on interview.

[@SimonGoddard]

Wow! that was another great Andertons video. Your channel rocks my world as it's totally natural and real. I also love that your videos are long, entertaining and you never try to push sales as they will come naturally as people get trust your brand from your honesty. Well done guys!

[@KeenenBlockson]

Mannn I've been following Dan since around this time last year. I jumped out of my seat when I saw this notification!!

[@vivekbooshan9954]

I love this guy's tone.
