This is the next song played by Gatton from this concert (previous one was Good Rockin at Midnight). Sorry for a few of the technical flaws but the original recording has suffered through the years. But what is here should deflate the ego of just about every guitarist in the world today! Danny Gatton remains – The Humbler indeed! Enjoy

Nice style…Triplet isn’t it?
This is rarely heard from artists.
Walton Rottos also play this Triple sound style…
Advance, fresh…
Deflate my ego? No. Inspire the crap out of me? Yes, indeed!!!
need clarification here… as far as tele payers go, wasn’t roy buchanan danny’s mentor? meaning, presumably, that he could stand on the same stage? confused. if you are good enough to land a record deal, in most cases, then you may be doing something right. i have no recording career, yet i feel that i’m fairly decent. if we are watching these videos, then there must be a reason. who cares who is better. i’m sure i’m wrong to somebody, that i believe that steve morse is the master.
considering that Roy in a way taught a younger Danny techniques in the metro area I find it hard to credit your statement
Yes I love After Hours from the second album but no one is in Danny’s league. There is one Telecaster guy that could sit on the same stage as Danny and that is Scotty Anderson. Just listen to his ‘Triple Stop’ album
How did he do that one thing?
awwwwwsweet wah wah effect playing with the tone nob! 4:37
Mmmmm..Danny’s phrasing is just exquisite.
A true artist-not pretentious, just a simple man with an insane talent. Some of the so-called musicians today should take a lesson from this man-humble but a genius with the guitar. Love you bro we will meet again…
he lived on a farm
what a beast
Thank you for mentioning jim campilango!!
Of course, that should have been Redd with two dd’s! I forgot to mention Marty Stuart as well. Seems he and Hank Jr own country music history these days. Plus Marty owns the original B Bender! Along with Marty, we can’t leave out Kenny Vaughn. Fabulous Superlative!
According to sources, Johnny is not under contract with EBMM. He plays it because he likes it. Maybe Paul wasn’t paying him enough, I don’t know why he left there. He was getting great exposure and had his own line of PRS. Most guitar slingers would love an opportunity like that. I’m not a fan of Urban, Brad is OK, but Red has the chops. I love his twangbanger stuff with Bill Kirchen. Just a lot of fun with six strings.
well danny and roy have two completely different tones when they play a tele
more garbage than the alley behind Dannys house.
Today’s Telemaster would have to be Redd Volkaert. Definitely not Vince Gill or Brad Paisley or Keith Urban. Johnny Hiland used to play a Tele but has moved on. But his clips playing one are phenomenal. I’d love to have heard the three of them together. Can’t say one is better, but it would be one hell of a show for sure.
-yea kinda sounds like a wolf. He plucked the string with the skin of his thumb creating a little harmonic , then held the body of the guitar with his pick hand and pushed on the neck bending the neck, releasing string tension.. As he releases the neck, the harmonic grows as the string tightens. I’ve only heard a similar thing done with a whammy bar- like the screams of Dimebag darrel. I’m sure Danny was the only one to ever originate a bunch of this kind of stuff .
Stormy Monday is the song title, I think.
WOW! I just found an old VHS that a friend gave me of this 20+ years ago! What a hoot!
So less IS more….
you are right. when i started hearing telemasters like gatton and buchanan i didnt know how to react, because mike had always been the master in my eyes. such geniuses, which of them would have been humbled though? lightning vs thunder
it’s just fingers.. nothing amazing
