For any real guitar player, this is invaluable. I challenge anyone to do this on Danny's level. There's not a person on the planet. THANK YOU DANNY. We'll all -spend the rest of our lives trying to do the basics of what you're teaching.
Clancey base for beginners like me , fuckin lov it , He shud ave been playin wit elvis before he and him died, brill guitar player towards da strings, thankin ya once again for da info!!
@Fitzliputzli23 Given how old the video looks, probably thought people watching it would get bored of just watching his hands do stuff, and they had new toys to play with, so...
@Fitzliputzli23 Plus, they didn't edit out the end of this section, so you get the feeling it was low budget, or the editors should have been fired unceremoniously.
It's a shame that his legend is marked by his tragic death instead of his amazing playing. I was an 80's shredder until I heard this guy. He made me into a guitarist. An amazingly self-deprecating ability to teach such complex patterns so effortlessly, too. He demystifies this stuff and I don't think he knew how effective his teaching style actually was/is. Of course, then it takes "lots of practice" to get close to his playing. Still, he is in the one of a kind categories. No one like Gatt!
@2boredfortv I agree with Fractaioid on the harshness.Here is a bit on why Danny's guitars were unique, Danny and another musician made what was known as The Gatton Pick-up. He was very mechanical and even loved to work on cars. He did not copy. If he wanted it to sound a certin way he just made it himself. To look a certin way, well he did that too by crafting it with his hands or just wear and tear. I think Telecaster came to him when they took notice.
His guitar does look really cool, but so does any one that has been made to look that way. If players want their's too look that way with out years of playing then so be it. It takes a certain amount artisitc talent to make it look good. If it inspires them to play on and better then so be it. No need to harsh on them.
one day my telecaster is gonna look like his, and unlike some of the faggots out there who make "distressed" or "road worn" guitars with razor blades and sandpaper mine shall be from decades of playing. LONG LIVE THE HUMBLER!!!!
Actually I wouldn't mind having that on my Tele - the regular Fender switch is just too smooth and you don't really feel the switching between the pickups. But I think he did it so he had more space between the switch and volume knob for easier and faster volume swells he used to do all the time. Hope this clears things up.
I'll bet ANY guitar player can appreciate this series of pure instruction. I have purchased many Hot Licks dvd's and want this series, hope somebody can tell me WHERE, this might be available- Thanks. Some of you might want to check on "Merle Travis" dvd by "Homespun". Later
To master either Hybrid picking or Sweep Picking is very difficult. I don't think one is harder than the other to master. Your right about one thing though, to combine the two and have them down can be down right scary.
I don't agree with him at all. I can sweep really well...but getting the coordination of both hands together for hybrid picking is REALLY difficult. It sounds so good when Danny does it, I guess it's worth the time and effort.
So THAT's why it's called "chicken picking".

@miamigroove "TAB" wasn't even invented yet. You gotta learn by tuning your guitar down to his, and using your ears while watching on youtube.

someone needs to invent a guitar with a camera coming though the pickguard so you can see from underneath.
1pick2sticks 2 years ago 2
What?
How would that help?
Looking at it from underneath isn't going to give you as much information as you think.
In fact, it would probably just be confusing.

SawDustLiveMusic 2 years ago
Yeah, it's a custom Tele by Fender. I think Danny wanted the toggle switch from a Les Paul because he played those before he turned to tele's.
