    I have quite a few of his CD's (like 14 or so). He was truly gifted. The other telemaster that I always dug is Roy Buchanan. I have quite a lot of stuff by him to.

    Guitar Player printed a notation/tab version of Danny's version of Harlem Nocturne from Crusin' Dueces some years back. I still have it .

    some issues are worth keeping

    I have his Heaven Is Creepy CD. I wasn't impressed. He must have been going for something and I just didn't get it. Recommend me something and I'll give him another listen

    I think that's a good enough representation. Different strokes, ya know?

    Have y'all heard the Joe Pass/Roy Clark session with Hank Williams' tunes?

    I love good country pickin' - at it's best, it's fun, it's entertaining and at the top level, it's virtuosic.

    Here are a couple of the best country players around at the moment...

    Brent Mason, with a bit of western swing...



    Brad Paisley, telecaster twanger supreme...

    Agreed. Watching Hee Haw as a kid was part of what inspried me to play. That Roy and Joe Pass recording was out of print last time I checked, and used copies on Amazon were crazy expensive. I would love to see that reissued.

    Let me see if I remember this correctly. Bryant played that on an electric 12-string, Fender maybe. Instead of tuning it like a normal 12er, he tuned the courses in 3rds. Danny Gatton didn't know this & learned how play it on a six string using double stops cause he just thought that was what Bryant did.

    Has anyone else heard that before?

    I have a CD or two by many of the guys mentioned above. Another one to check out is, "Country Soul Guitar," by Duke Levine.

    Well, the story persists. I thought I read it in the liner notes to one of my CDs, but I can't find it in the stacks! A little googling came up with discussions about the Jimmy Bryant 12-string tuning and a general googling consensus says that it's ...

    EG, AC, DF, GB, BD, EG#

    But there are other tunings. Some have it as all minor 3rds, and some have it as above or mixed in various ways. I'm not sure if they how they are paired. On most 12ers I've played, the higher sounding string is before the lower sounding one, though I've heard that Rickenbachers have it differently.

    I'm not claiming that this can't be done on a six string. It's obvious that it can be done. What I'm saying is that JB used a cool 12er tuning.

    Joe Cinderalla used to work on a tuning in 3rds or at least that's what I'm told. He's a local NY-NJ guitar hero from back in the day.

    As far as the Gatton story there is a similar one I read in GP about Joe Walsh and George Harrison's solo on "And You Bird Can Sing"

    Joe said he thought Harrison played the parts together rather than overdubs so Joe worked on that solo learning to play both parts at the same time.

    I wonder how many of us thought the same thing?

    Another country guitarist worth checking out is Albert Lee (from cockney country).

    Hey whatever hapened to Johnny Hilland? I know he was kind of a Gatton clone. I saw one album a bunch of endorsements and that's it.
