  1. Our final version of the country guitar lick is from a Danny Gatton solo. Gatton was an incredibly fast player and would frequently span all of the American genres in one solo. He starts with a bend from the 5 th of the chord here, then moves to bending the 2 nd of the chord up to the 3 rd.

As a follow-up to last lesson's comping ideas, we stole some organ style licks suitable for soloing applications… There's no need to memorise the whole transcription (the solo was improvised, after all!) – it's better simply to pilfer the licks you like and incorporate them into your own style. If you remember last lesson's organ-related audio track, this time backing track will sound hauntingly familiar – yes, it's the same chord progression! However, the prominent guitar part in the mix is considerably busier this time and it relies on more single-note lines, double-stops and a looser rhythmic feel to create more of a soloistic vibe. Many of the licks you'll hear this time round are considered cliches when played on a Hammond, but you don't hear guitarists doing them to the same extent. So here, in a sense, we're trying to quote elements of the organ tradition to create something fresh-sounding.

Having said that, pilfering Jimmy Smith licks isn't a completely original idea, as the ‘further listening' box will tell you: players such as Danny Gatton have used the idea to great effect and I think that some of Robben Ford's phrasing can perhaps be traced back to the same source.

The key to making this stuff work is to think like an organ player and this leads us into the interesting arena of MIDI guitar. Have you ever heard someone asking to try out a synth guitar in a music shop, firing up the most expensive-sounding ‘grand piano' patch they have to offer and then playing their favourite Clapton licks replete with wailing string bends? This tends to sound unwholesome and bad because the phrases being played are at odds with what the synth sound leads you to expect. It's always better to modify your picking technique, phrasing and chord voicings so that they complement the sound that's emanating from the speakers.

Obviously, you don't need a MIDI pick-up to use the licks you hear on the audio tracks. I make the point because the mindset you need to inject a touch of the jazz organist into your normal guitar playing is exactly the mindset that would help a MIDI guitarist to get a convincing string arrangement, marimba solo (or whatever) out of a synth module. It's all about respecting the instrument you're trying to emulate.

But enough of the philosophy; hopefully the accompanying audio track will demonstrate what I mean. Apart from the occasional cheeky string bend (the ‘BSS' sign rears its ugly head from time to time in the transcription) this is all believably organ-esque stuff. Specific points of interest include the idea of sliding up to one of the notes in a double-stop (as in the opening lick); the use of the occasional dead note (wherever ‘MU' or ‘X' crop up in the transcription) to approximate the percussive ‘cluck' you hear when an organist strikes a key in a staccato fashion; the rhythmic flurries of passages such as those in bars 18-19, 23-24 and 28; and the pedal tone idea in bars 25-27. The idea with this last one is to keep a consistent rhythm going on the G (17th fret D string) and throwing in occasional stabs (anything on the B and G strings). You might like to try picking the G pedal tone and ‘grabbing' the stabs with the middle and ring fingers of your right hand.

Be sure to find a left-hand fingering that works here; I would recommend fretting the G pedal with your third finger right up to beat 2 of bar 27, when your first finger should take over; aim for a smooth transition and be prepared to shift back in bar 28.

Enjoy the piece and I'll see you next time.

Daniel Wood Gatton Jr. (September 4, 1945 – October 4, 1994) was an American guitarist who combined blues, rockabilly, jazz, and country to create a musical style he called 'redneck jazz'.[1]

Career[edit]

Daniel Wood Gatton Jr. was born in Washington, D.C., in 1945. The son of a rhythm guitarist, Gatton started playing at the age of nine. From 1960–1964 he played jazz guitar with the Offbeats, then worked as a session musician in Nashville.[2][3] When he returned to Washington, he drew attention in the 1970s as a member of Liz Meyer & Friends and other local bands. He recorded his debut album, American Music (1975), followed by Redneck Jazz (1978) with pedal steel guitarist Buddy Emmons appearing as a guest. He founded the band the Redneck Explosion.[2]

Although Gatton could play most genres of music, including jazz, blues, bluegrass, and rock, he was known as a country and rockabilly guitarist.[2] He toured with singers Roger Miller and Robert Gordon.[3] He was sometimes called 'The Telemaster' and 'the world's greatest unknown guitarist'.[2] Guitarist Amos Garrett called him 'The Humbler' for his ability to defeat other guitarists in 'head-cutting' jam sessions.[4] On this point, however, Gatton declared 'The biggest humbler to me, of all time, would be Lenny Breau. He was the best I have ever seen.'[5]

In 1987, nine years after his previous album, he released Unfinished Business, an eclectic collection of pop, rock, and country music that Guitar World magazine named the tenth best album of the 1980s.[6] He got a contract with his first major record label and released another eclectic album, 88 Elmira Street (Elektra, 1991),[3] which contained a cover version of the theme song from the animated TV series The Simpsons.[7]

Gatton turned toward jazz for the albums New York Stories (Blue Note, 1992) and Relentless (1994) with Joey DeFrancesco.

Death[edit]

On October 4, 1994, Gatton locked himself in the garage on his farm in Newburg, Maryland, and took his own life by shooting himself.[8] Although he left no note or explanation,[9] family members and close friends believe he suffered from depression for many years.[10] Friend and drummer Dave Elliott said that he thought Gatton had suffered from depression since they met more than twenty years earlier.[8]

Gear and playing style[edit]

Gatton played a 1953 Fender Telecaster customized with Joe Barden pickups and Fender Super 250Ls, or Nickel Plated Steel (.010 to .046 with a .015 for the G) strings (Fender now makes a replica of his heavily customized instrument), and a 1956 Gibson ES-350. For a slide, Gatton sometimes used a beer bottle or mug. In the March 1989 issue of Guitar Player magazine, Gatton said he preferred to use an Alka-Seltzer bottle or long 6L6 vacuum tube as a slide, but that audiences seemed to prefer the beer bottle. Unlike many electric guitarists, Gatton played slide overhand only, citing his earlier training in steel guitar [Guitar Player, March 1989]. Among amplifiers, liner notes on his album '88 Elmira Street' cites his use of Fender amplifiers including a 1963 Vibrolux, a 1963 Super Reverb, a 1958 Twin, a 1964 Deluxe, and a 1958 Bassman.[11] Gatton built many of his own electric musical devices, including one he called the Magic Dingus Box, which controlled the speed of the rotating horn in a Leslie speaker cabinet.[12]

Reception[edit]

When Rolling Stone magazine selected the 100 Greatest Guitarists of all Time in 2003, senior editor David Fricke ranked Gatton 63rd on his ballot.[13] On May 26, 2010, Gibson.com ranked Gatton as the 27th best guitarist of all time.[14]

Among his admirers are Buckethead, Joe Bonamassa, Lenny Breau, James Burton, Chris Cheney, Vince Gill, Johnny Hiland, Evan Johns, Bill Kirchen, Albert Lee, Les Paul, Arlen Roth, Richie Sambora, Ricky Skaggs, Slash, and Steve Vai.[9]

Gatton has been described as possessing an extraordinary proficiency on his instrument, 'a living treasury of American musical styles.'[15] In 2009, John Previti, who played bass guitar with Danny for eighteen years, stated, 'You know, when he played country music, it sounded like all he played was country music. When he played jazz, it sounded like that's all he played, rockabilly, old rock and roll, soul music. You know, he called himself a Whitman sampler of music.'[10] Guitarist Steve Vai reckons Danny 'comes closer than anyone else to being the best guitar player that ever lived.'[16] Guitarist Albert Lee said of Gatton, 'Here's a guy who's got it all.'[17]

On January 10–12, 1995, Tramps nightclub in New York organized a three-night tribute to Gatton featuring dozens of Gatton's musical admirers, the highlight of which was a twenty-minute performance by Les Paul, James Burton, Arlen Roth, and Albert Lee.[18] Those shows (with all musicians performing for free) raised $25,000 for Gatton's wife and daughter.

Blue Skies Calling (2011), an album by Boy Wells, includes nearly an hour of Gatton and Wells playing in his living room. 'Danny called me before he died and asked me to put a vocal tape together for his label at the time. He needed a singer after his singer, Billy Windsor, had passed. He remained a friend, a good one all those years. This lesson was in the late '70s; it's me and Danny in the living room of his house on Holly Lane in Indian Head, Maryland. It's killer stuff.'[19]

Gatton was given nicknames such as 'The Humbler',[20] 'The Telemaster',[21] and 'the world's greatest unknown guitarist'.[21] Microsoft office for mac 2016 download.
