Danny Gatton: Telemaster! Review

Danny starts by stating "I'm really an un-educated ear player who doesn't know much theory" Holy crap! This man had a sense of humour! Then he proceeds to blaze through the most complex chordal/single string passages without a blink of an eyelid whilst reaching for the volume pot to create the most alarming "crying" swells. This man was GIFTED..i would even go so far to say he was a genius. The cascading harmonics are among the most difficult aspects to learn. I triedto keep up with Danny at certain points and i nearly ended up in traction!!Gatton displayed the harmonics more impressively than Lenny Breau could, and that's saying something.What also is a striking feature is the tone that Danny gets from his weather beaten 1952 Fender Telecaster. The tone is rich and mellow but also snarls like a tiger when he switches to lead pickup.
I find it hard to grasp his technique because this man was a naturally endowed musician who didn't have to think about what he's playing. It's difficult for him to explain something that is, to him, a natural reflex but he goes about it well. His style went far beyond just country picking although lap steel harmonies figure alot in his repertoire.
But all said and done the whole film is worth 10 stars just to catch a rare glimpse of one of the most underrated and talented guitarists since the days of Django Reinhardt & Les Paul.
I just wish he could come back and teach us the rest of it.
