Movie Reviews of Danny Gatton: Telemaster!
Movie Review: The Humbler speaks...
Summary: 5 Stars
... and I listen... again and again. What a great video of a true master of his craft.
Movie Review: This is a terrific way to learn a little more about one of the greatest ever.
Summary: 4 Stars
Danny Gatton was one of the greatest guitarists this planet has ever known. Few would argue that. And watching Danny in this DVD is an incredible experience for anyone who is a fan of his music. It is awe-inspiring to watch Danny lay down some of the licks we've listened to so many times. It is at the same time a little intimidating; the man was on another stratosphere with his understanding of the fretboard and virtually every kind of music in general.
I had this on VHS years ago and have lost it since. But I'm glad I did, because this DVD is far superior to that VHS format, though the overall setting does seem just a little dated. Not only are the sound and picture much better and more consistent, but some of the DVD features make it much easier to navigate and to study certain portions. The entire DVD is divided into "lessons", which can be accessed directly through a main menu. Each lesson can also be played back at a slower speed (half, I think) which makes it much easier to figure out how Danny did what he did. The split screen is also wonderful for watching Danny's wonderful right hand fingering techniques. Also included is most of the music (in Tab as well) as a study aid. Again, be warned. Even the tabulatures of Danny's playing are like nothing I've seen. Amazing!
This was a master of his instrument at his peak. This DVD is a must-have for Danny Gatton fans or any aspiring guitarist.
Movie Review: Fascinating, but....
Summary: 4 Stars
Danny Gatton is easily one of the most under appreciated talents to have ever played the guitar. His talent is spell-binding. Danny can make a telecaster do things no mere mortal would dream of. Yet, as an instructional DVD, I don't know... The art of making instructional course has advanced immensely since Danny made this and his untimely death. He breezes through his vast skills with barely a pause to catch up. But, I would suggest, don't buy this so much as to learn techniques, but to sit silently at the footstool of a master. It's worth it to watch in awe. It's great entertainment. If you pick up a trick or two along the way, all the better.Movie Review: It's like a private lesson from a genius.
Summary: 4 Stars
If you go to get guitar lessons you'll more than likely have a guitar teacher that loves to show his chops on your time. While he's wackin' away on his guitar you're paying per hour and they usually charge more than $20.00 a guitar lesson. I've got a solution to those horrible guitar teachers... this series of videos. Why not watch a pro play guitar. Much better than traditional lessons.Movie Review: mediocre product
Summary: 2 Stars
Danny Gatton is an amazing guitar player, but this dvd is not that great. Its cool to see him up close doing his thing, but the tablature print in the accompanying booklet is microscopic and there aren't too many examples of his famous techniques. He spends more time on his jazzier side than he should, and gives too little focus to his use of double stops and barely speaks of his chicken' picken' and use of his fingers, perhaps his best technique. The ability to watch the examples in real time and in slo-motion is nice, but unless you are a big fan (and even then) this is not the best product to get to play like Gatton.
