  • Wow....the whole TAB/standard notation thing here is pretty silly. What DG is doing here had NOTHING to do with reading ANYTHING. And I promise you....if DG was here....playing this tune....he couldn't play all the "right notes" (ie....note for note) . The only thing session players really read anyways....are chord charts.....and not even any rhythms usually. This tune is just a great country/rock-a-billy....with GREAT chops played over it. Chops are always in a state of motion and growth.

  • @WarBeer Indeed, it has nothing to do with him reading anything and everything about feel and intuition. Someone just asked which would be better for transcribing what he's playing - in order for you to study his note choices in depth which, I think, was a good question. Each systems have their pros and cons but I think a thorough scholar would use both.

  • The man

  • I saw him at the Grog and Tankard in DC about around 1988. I was a newb guitarist then and he BLEW me away. (not surprisingly). I went up to him after his set and he signed a matchbook for me and I axed him why he used the tiny fender jazz picks and he said it was cuz it forced him to play more accurately. I immediately started using those pics  lol only just recently switched to an in-between size. He was amazing. RIP

  • Nothing but a clean guitar sound, and a man who knows what the instrument is capable of. Danny Gatton was Delivered to us, then taken away. His style and playing skills will be sought after forever! God rest your soul Danny!

  • Spectacular display of virtuosity.A terrible loss to the music world.

  • Incredible.

  • johnney a is starting to hit this style of playn

  • RIP Danny. No one knows why he took his own life. Truly one of the Greats. Rare video. Thanks for posting!

  • Looks like 18 Justin Bieber fans came here to look at this vid

  • Not of this world.

  • La Classe le Gatton
