DVD : Danny Gatton: Strictly Rhythm Guitar |
- Even if you only understand 10% ...... of what Gatton presents here, your game will advance tremendously. Definitely for advanced guitarists, there's enough deep content here to spend a few years polishing. One caveat: it's almost all oriented towards blues substitutions so if you're not interested in that aspect of guitar-playing you may be disappointed.

- LOTS of chords!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!

- great player, a little hard to followGatton 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.

- Advanced Players OnlyThere 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.

- You will go back again and again , helpful , great funThis DVD is inspiring as well as being fun , which is a hard combination to find .
I love rhythm guitar and pay close attention to it , but I need to work on it a lot more , hence buying this DVD . I like to see whether a band's guitarist can play rhythm in a tasteful way and if not , that tells me that they may not value it .
Danny clearly does (or did) .
As another reviewer put it , Danny shows how to work with other musicians and that is one of the most important things for me to see as I value it very highly - let's face it , it helps you to get work .
A number of styles are shown - basically , it is a great lesson from a player who transcends 'ability' and is in a whole other realm .
Very highly recommended .
