The tiltle threw me off since i did not know who Danny Gatton was.I was expecting to learn some amazing rhythm patterns and great strummings techniques because of all the other reviews that I have read ,but all I saw was the same pluck and pick patterns and different jazz chords (some blues chords as well).I guess You have to be a fan of Mr.Gatton to enjoy the material.I know I did not enjoy it at all or really learned anything(I could not bare to sit through the whole thing but I forced myself).The only part I enjoyed was about one minute worth, when Mr.Gatton had the acoustic guitar(he used an electric guitar throughout the dvd)and used a really cool rhythm.

Danny Gatton is an amazing guitarist…this is for sure. However, this video is strictly for advanced players. Just learning to fret 10% of the chords he uses would take me (an intermediate guitar player) months of practice. Even HE doesn’t know the names of some of the chords! Also, as another reviewer noted, it’s next to impossible to see where he’s got his fingers sometimes because of the glare. It’s fun to watch though!

There is some incredible guitar playing going on on this DVD. As an intermediate player (about 8 years now) the instruction was not something I could follow and apply.

This is a great DVD for anyone interested in guitar or just listening to one of the most talented guitar players in the world. I greatly enjoyed it and I’m sure most people will too. Well worth the money. I miss him.

Gatton was a great player, and seeing this dvd shows how much a skilled player can do with a simple no frills guitar – he plays a Tele and gets sounds out of it like a Hammond B-3 organ, and shows power chords that he was apparently playing before Pete Townsend picked up a guitar. Also plays rhythms and melodies at the same time. When he has another player doing lead on his Tele, they are phenomenal. My only hesitation in recommending this is that there’s not a lot of tab, and the camera doesn’t focus closely enough on his fingers at times, so it’s a little hard for me in several places. On the other hand, his lesson on Chuck Berry riffs is worth the purchase. Of all the guitar dvd’s I’ve bought so far, I like Kenny Sultan and Ernie Hawkins the best. Hawkins has actual film of Lightnin’ Hopkins and Mance Lipscomb, then Ernie shows it step by step, and he’s a very effective teacher. I just ordered Warren Haynes and James Burton’s dvd’s, so don’t know yet how they’ll stack up.
