Danny Gatton: Strictly Rhythm Guitar

Though Danny Gatton shuffled off this great mortal coil in 1994, his music and love of the guitar are captured on this Hot Licks Video release. Gatton's legacy lives on as he hangs out in front of the camera, leisurely explaining the finer points of playing rhythm guitar. A well-respected player and session man, Gatton aptly handles the difficulty of teaching rhythm, a form of guitar-playing that most devotees avoid. After watching Gatton and his slick moves, many people wishing to be Hendrix just may drop the ego and be satisfied with playing in sync with the drums and bass.
