 The Humbler speaks... January 30, 2008
... and I listen... again and again. What a great video of a true master of his craft.

If you go to get guitar lessons you'll more than likely have a guitar teacher that loves to show his chops on your time. While he's wackin' away on his guitar you're paying per hour and they usually charge more than $20.00 a guitar lesson. I've got a solution to those horrible guitar teachers... this series of videos. Why not watch a pro play guitar. Much better than traditional lessons.
Hot licks for everyone January 4, 2007
For any guitar player the "Telemaster" by Danny Gatton is a must-see. Now finally on DVD format, this educational piece of jewel reveals how to play some of the finest licks of the late Telecaster legend. Regardless of your current skills, you will learn more with Telemaster.

Danny Gatton is an amazing guitar player, but this dvd is not that great. Its cool to see him up close doing his thing, but the tablature print in the accompanying booklet is microscopic and there aren't too many examples of his famous techniques. He spends more time on his jazzier side than he should, and gives too little focus to his use of double stops and barely speaks of his chicken' picken' and use of his fingers, perhaps his best technique. The ability to watch the examples in real time and in slo-motion is nice, but unless you are a big fan (and even then) this is not the best product to get to play like Gatton.
You've Gotta Get Gatton! September 19, 2006

Danny Gatton was 'THE' most accomplished all around guitarist that has ever graced our planet. Not only could Danny 'humble' most other pickers; he was also very adept in genres such as jazz, rockabilly, slide guitar, bluegrass, and well... anything he wanted to play he could play with seeming effortlessness.
Not only do I own his second Hot Licks tape, Strictly Rhythm Guitar (required for ALL guitarists), I also play a Telecaster. Mr. Gatton was certainly not the first player to wrap his hands around a Telecaster (aka The Plank)but he certainly ranks high up on that short list of 'Telemasters'.
In my further study of this wonderful gentleman I ordered his first Hot Licks video titled accordingly 'Telemaster'. I highly recommend this video because Danny explains in full his many different and varied playing techinques. The split camera work is excellent. PLUS...not only is Danny Gatton a virtuoso, he is also a master teacher. Even though he confesses to be a self proclaimed 'ear player' his ability to communicate on a friendly basis is outstanding. Not all great guitarists can teach and not all great teachers are virtuoso guitarists. But Danny Gatton has that rare ability to teach with intelligence without being condesending to the student. Now all of this is enough, but I love Danny's sense of humor! He comes across as very down to earth and not at all full of himself. The only bummer is that Danny's lapel mike (on his shirt) does not pick up his voice too well. While the guitar sounds fine, the explanations are somewhat hard to decipher as the volume level is so much lower on his voice. I'm wondering why this could not have been 'tweaked' when it was mastered from VHS tape to DVD. On the positive side the DVD makes great use of chapters and going directly to what you want to view. Similar to 'Strictly Rhythm Guitar' Danny Gatton's 'Telemaster' is something that you can view 100 times and get something out of it every time. Buy this DVD and learn from one of the best!
We miss you Danny!
