  1. i saw the great man in dec 1993 in New York,after 5mins onstage i looked around and everyones jaw was on the floor,his attack,tone,skill you name it was insane,A true God of the Guitar.

  2. nothing is getting more hot-rod than this video…

    beer bottleneck on a telecaster= TRUE Country Triumph

  3. It was a 60/40 cotton poly mix, any more cotton and there’s an adverse tonal effect, at least that’s what I’ve been told by the folks at Hains.

  4. a remarkable talent — I dont think he really knew just how good he was sometimes — I know his death really affected Arlen Roth — watching both of the play together and exchanging licks and phrases, was just as good as guitar playing can get —

    RIP Danny boy

  5. i just quit slide guitar.
    gonna be all Towel Guitar for me now…

  6. The next time you’re discusing guitar greats (Hendrix, Beck, Gilmore, ect.) be sure to mention Danny!

  7. There’s an Austin City Limits where Gatton’s a sideman for Roger Miller!

  8. Phopto,
    I remember seeing Roy buchanan at the old Circle Star theater in Redwood City around that time.

  9. I think I saw this show at Slims in S.F. I am ever so grateful I got to hear Danny live. Saw Roy Buchanan too in the early 80’s.
