The reason why Danny Gatton did not receive attention and dues he deserved is possibly because technology had developed production values and indeed parallel possibilities such as video so that the average consumer was now faced w/ many new options as to how to obtain and assess their entertainment and artistic choices. Most of these new options were not germane to the focus and sensibilities of many great artists and the simpler criteria that they in previous generations (lets say pre late 70's...certainly 80's) were judged, appreciated and rewarded by in the general audience.

stevearle Actually, the reason Danny did not get the acclaim was because his brilliant playing was rarely *in a context which was palatable to a wide audience.* Watch a set and you are not compelled to go back to it because you just have to hear that old, recycled rockabilly tune again; you want to hear Danny rip. There are a number of very fine players of all instruments who are well-known within their field, but who have not reached a wider audience for this reason.

Those of you who appreciate the skill and the person portrayed here, take note - a documentary on the man is in post-production and will hopefully be released soon. It is going to be called "The Humbler", which was Danny's nickname based on any other guitarist's experience after getting up to jam with him. I'm not sure Danny's horrible, crippling depression did not also contribute to his lack of success. Creative genius seems to carry a hefty price tag for some.

The depression causing the lack of success is one way of looking at it, I might posit that the lack of success could have a lot to do with reinforcing and causing or at least worsening the depression. How heartbroken would you be if you knew you were this good but people didn't care? To have to struggle and scrape and then see someone famous with your name in their mouth, talking about how you're lightyears ahead... That seems crushing. It makes me weep for him and his family. Also they said this doc is finally coming out this year, 2022, I hope that's the case!

A great talent! Sometimes, if a gifted person is taken out of their comfort zone, the results can be tragic. The artist might want to simply play for the joy of doing so on a smaller scale vs. what the record contract forces you into. The music industry is brutal and there are so many talented musicians out there who never get noticed, or the record labels just don't know what to do with them. Even Steve Morse became a commercial airline pilot in the 80s for a while to make a living and this was after releasing multiple albums with the Dixie Dregs (nominated for 5 Grammy Awards), the SMB and a crazy touring schedule. With the advent of the internet, the industry has changed and it offers a platform for more people to get noticed. With downloadable music (burning vs. buying), record companies no longer have the same amount of control that they had in the past. Andy West once said that signing a contract with a record label in those days basically made you an "indentured servant", with the company owning you and your music.

Perhaps it’s the music consumer? They want something palatable. For me , his brilliance is simply jaw dropping. His death at his own hand is so completely sad . And tragic . Seeing this video only confirms what a delicate line there is in life. RIP Danny. You were the best.

Ok Danny was talented and a Virtuoso. But do you know how many Django Reinhardt, Montgomery and Parker composed tunes are standards? For him to be the Charlie Parker of the guitar he would have to be THE reference for great guitar playing. And we would be learning his tunes. Give the man his due yes. Say he's your favourite but please do NOT say outflank and mention Django and Wes. Or say the Charlie Parker of the guitar. Its either you don't know who these players are or you simply forgot to qualify your statements. These players did not have the versatility Danny did...no. but in what they did....they left legacies that are impossible to outflank. Hundreds of class recordings with the BEST musicians of their day. And their compositions. So in no way mean to diminish this mans remarkable talent but i think you should do him the favour and let his talent stand by itself instead of forcing him into shoes his legacy cannot fill.

Danny didn't like to tour and especially Europe. Can't become famous if you just play D.C. clubs. RIP Danny your the best!

I think Danny Gatton was one of the greatest guitarists that ever lived. I'm sure he knew he was quite good, so why would he commit suicide? I honestly don't get it? He had to be really, really depressed. Or, a chemical imbalance. Sometimes I wish someone was there to 'talk him out of it. So now the world lost one of the greatest guitarist that ever lived. Such a loss for his daughter, his wife, and people who appreciated what he could do with a guitar.

Somebody posted once that those whose candle burns the brightest burns out the quickest. There are so many greats whose candle is lit no more. I choose to see it that way. Very sad.

Technically unchallenged. Period. His first music teacher said there was nothing he could teach him.
