  • So THAT's why it's called "chicken picking".

  • love the soundig of this telecaster

  • This is fuckin' awsome, The guy was a hero!

  • 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.

  • oh nooooo!!!!!! (mimes machinegun) xD

  • Does anyone know where I can get my hands on this and the tab?

  • great...

    congrats...

    XD...

  • Tyvm!

  • is that 437 A ?

  • Holy crap the special effects at 8:00 rival Avatar!

  • Treasure trove of info...thank you

  • thumb up if you had to pick your guitar up halfway through one of his vids!what an inspiration!

  • "Really hard to do slow." LOL I wish I could do it slow and make it look as easy as he does doing it warp speed.

  • 1:14 hahahha sounds like a chicken going buck buck buck OOOOK! hahaha

  • 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!!

  • this whole video is absolutely awesome

    its kinda annoying how the end of this section goes all 'bad guys in the 1st superman film', ya can't see what he's playing!!

  • what is the purpose of these very annoying and stupid visual effects starting at 7:53?

  • @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.

  • Lov his chicken pullin fuckin neck...lol

  • 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!

  • it's a shame he's gone now...

  • It's really hard to do slow... -.-

  • 8:22 Holy crrrrrraaaaaap!

  • @charles1967 Amazing, ain't it? Love this guy!!!

  • OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • @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!!!!

  • Look at the guitar right next to the bridge and pick guard. His pinky nail has scraped quite a groove in the guitar! LOL

  • went a little beserker mode with the video effects at the end there, :P , great vid!

  • Yes, thanks for posting this... I have most of Danny's videos and have never seen this one... some great techniques and things that he does....

    Thanks again!

    John

  • I WANT THIS VIDEO!

  • 7:40

  • Is'nt that the same as sweep picking?

  • anybody got a link to the full vid and/or with the TAB booklet?

  • @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.

  • @ozzy4pres

    duhhhh....please take a look at the note at 4:05 

  • I love Boogie Woogie too, Danny, and I know you hear me :-)

  • someone needs to invent a guitar with a camera coming though the pickguard so you can see from underneath.

  • 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.

  • Go to his website,everything you need to know about his setups...

  • Anyone else noticed the toggle switch pickup selector of his Tele??? Weird modification... can anyone shed any light on this?

  • he just has it bent down. i saw him tell about it somewhere.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • It's a brilliant mod- when I get my Tele (one day real soon, I hope!!) I will have to get that installed.

  • 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

  • Great lessons pity he's gone though.

  • lol ... nice ... gone with the wind and a tele machine gun!

  • it doesnt get much better than that.

  • What year is this from?

  • A well educated guess: 1983.

  • 1987 New York

  • Comment removed

  • 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 think sweeping is harder personally, but yeah..two at once is just o..o

  • hybrid picking is harder than sweep picking. combining the two is insane.

  • i can do both thanks danny

  • 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.

  • Man...This stuff is difficult.

  • thank yoooou!!! please post more if you have it!!

  • And again you did it!!! Thanks very much for posting, this is a classic series already!!!

    Check out the last few seconds... ;-)

  • THANK YOU !!!

    Thanks so much for posting this, please post some more if you have some !!!

  • That they release it in DVD!
