Hey Argubs. You started a thread on guitar appreciation and then a wk later one of the greatest guitar players of all time dies. Why don't you start a Bieber Appreciation thread.......
After the B.B. news this morning, I'm really not in the killing mood.
I get that, but we're talking Justin Bieber here.
Man up and do your duty.

Tell you what....ship me that Firebird in your avatar and I'll start a Bieberboi thread everyday for a year.
"Danny Gatton was a players' guitar player, hailed by both Rolling Stone and Guitar Player as the greatest unknown guitarist anywhere. His legend has only grown since his untimely suicide in 1994, along with appreciation for his blinding speed, effortless genre-hopping, flawless technique, and never-ending appetite for tinkering and problem-solving. Danny Gatton comes closer than anyone else to being the best guitar player that ever lived." - Steve Vai
Truly a great. As someone who was never big into rockabilly / country, Danny is one of the guys I have heavy exposure to in those genres simply because of his virtuosity. Put down some phenomenal jazz recordings also.
He also helped grow Joe Bonamassa. If you need something to get you through about a half an hour, this podcast (which is actually used as a source on Gatton's Wiki page) is Joe reminiscing about him and playing some of his stuff. Great podcast.
