Maybe it's just me....this song, which I've known all my life, is supposed to be rather calm and soothing. I got nothing of that here. All high-pitched twangy bridge pick-up...sounds like a squeal from a cat getting it's tail stepped on! The guy is obviously a good guitarist but this is horrible!
@glennrunnerroad Haha, they're dirty because he used to smoke alot. He kinda gave that up towards his death. Anyway, he said in an interview that he hated the feel and sound of new strings and that they're too twangy and bright. So he decided to find a way to deaden them a little and applied some of the ash from the cigs he used to smoke from the ashtray and wipe them over the strings. He found that it worked. Hence why the neck's like that.
Danny Gatton was a really nice guy, modest and not full of s**t like many so-called "stars" but to call him the "Master of the Telecaster" is a bit like calling Kermit the next Pavarotti!! He was a good guitarist but, let's be honest, he wasn't in the same league as, probably, 20-30 guitarists that we could all name!
Danny Gatton was a fixture on the music scene in Washington, DC for a very long time. I saw him many times and he always sounds awesome. I was a young guitar student, and he always had time to talk about guitar and music when I saw him in Georgetown, DC. There would be very few people who saw him that would say otherwise. His fans miss him to this day greatly.
@sopitabo Danny is no longer among the living. Sad to lose such an awesome talent, but he's gone. We are fortunate that his music is still available to us though.
