    Still listen to Danny's stuff every single day. No one ever came close to him. His technique, and mastery of it, not to mention the ability to play virtually any type of music, makes him truly untouchable. I've been playing for 49 years, and working on Danny's style/technique for the past 10 years. Still cannot get close to him. RIP Mr. Gatton.

    He was amazing, I was fortunate to see him 3 times. He was the best. He played with great musicians. Locally when he played it was not posted till a few days before. However, many of the fans that showed up were Profesional musicians. They would cancel their shows to come to see Danny play. Although he did not sing with his voice but his guitar did the singing. Once again he was amazing and he left us too soon.

    I saw Danny play at The Ace of Clubs in Nashville , just Danny , stand-up bass and drummer. Amazing guitar player. As far as someone who was a master of every style of guitar be it , jazz, blues, rockabilly or country Danny was a master of them all. I'm so glad I got to hear him play that night . He got sounds out of that Tele that are often imitated but never duplicated . Danny is greatly missed.

    Fortunate to grow up in the DC/Baltimore and know about Danny Gatton & Roy Buchanan all these years. Have some family in Southern MD where Danny lived in Newburg, many stories of seeing him in Waldorf and them honky tonk bars in Charles County.

    It is painful and it really bothers me that Danny ended his life. I never met him but love everything about him from his playing to his personality from what I've seen in video interviews and concerts. How could such a wonderful and humble person end up doing that? I wish someone could have reached him before it happened. God bless his family!

    Guys like Danny Gatton and Roy Buchanan played a very different style from the contemporary player in that they relied on the amp and the controls on the guitar vs. stomp boxes. Personally I prefer this tone because when you play hard and clean, you can show up, plug into anything and just play. I still have the Redneck Jazz Explosion in my old Ford.

    @HiFiVibe: Danny was not what you'd call an out-going guy, especially around unfamiliar people. He was very friendly around his pals, but maybe not all that much so around media types - even a sympathetic audience like this. I don't think he liked being on the road and away from home at all. He loved playing, but not the business or marketing aspect of music. He warms up a bit as this interview goes on.

  • @Kohntarkosz
    @Kohntarkosz 12 років тому +1

    Actually, the Stevie Ray thing is a little more complicated. He actually agreed to do the tour at first, but once rehearsals started, he realized there was going to be more of a "show", as it were. I guess everything was too choreographed for his taste, and in particular, they wanted him to do stuff that he wasn't comfortable/able to do. So I think he went to his manager and said "You gotta get me out of this", so the two of them colluded to get SRV fired from the gig.
