Danny Gatton is a true guitar player’s guitar player. Monarch Pro 11 Keygen Photoshop here. While he never became famous to the general public, you can find his name mentioned in just about every interview with current country guitar players. Gatton mixed musical styles from jazz, country, rockabilly, and blues into a powerful sound that influenced all the players around him. He was nicknamed “The Humbler” and “The Telemaster” and a quick will show that they were both well earned. Gatton’s entire giant bag of tricks would be impossible to cover in a short lesson so I focused on some of his more traditional playing ideas.

Danny Gatton: Telemaster! By Danny Gatton. Self-absorbed attitude and a few licks and tricks. Watching and attempting to learn Danny's licks.

The lesson will take you through 5 licks over a 12 bar blues in E. The first lick uses double stops and hybrid picking. The pick plays the D string while the middle and ring fingers play the double stops.

I mute the D string slightly with my palm throughout this idea. The D string notes are mainly rhythmic and muting them helps the melodic double stops stand out more.

The second lick begins with two double stop pre-bends. First, hit the double stop without bending.

The G string is then pre-bent up a whole step while the B string remains fretted. Finally, release the bent note back to the original pitch. Then the same idea is repeated down a whole step. The third lick is a double time idea. This lick sounds more difficult than it actually is because of the speed. Use hybrid picking with the pick again taking the D string and the fingers taking the G and B strings. Danny Gatton uses a lot of the repetitive ideas in his playing.

In a longer solo, he might repeat the first bar much longer or even move it through the chord progression. Lick four navigates the change from V (B7) to IV (A7) using double stops and the root.

I play this using the same hybrid picking as the previous licks. The last lick is another repetitive idea that is found in Gatton’s playing. I play this lick using all alternate picking.

The basic pattern for the lick uses 5 sixteenth notes between every slide. This is another difficult idea because of the speed.

Like the third lick, this one can also be repeated easily. I use a simple arpeggio to end the lick.

Danny Gatton was the last word in shred roots Telecaster abuse, and a musical genius who left us far too soon. There are 15 albums under his own name, and he played on many more as a sideman. I have collected information about Danny's recordings, television/radio appearances, and print articles in my little red notebook for several years. Now I am experimenting with web page design by transferring this information to this site.

I am adding more stuff all the time. NEW DANNY GATTON DISK AVAILABLE!! 'Funhouse', the first new Big Mo/Flying Deuce release is now available.

In addition to Danny & Buddy, the band includes Barry Hart on drums, John Previti on bass, Billy Windsor on rhythm guitar/vocals, Chris Battistone (composer of 'Red Label') on trumpet, Bruce Swaim on tenor sax, Phil Berlin on tenor sax, and John Jensen on trombone.

'Song of India' is listed as 'Land of Make Believe' and 'Melancholy Serenade' is listed as 'Harlem Nocture'. These errors do not detract from the great performance.
