Dan Huff is probably the most criminally underrated guitar player I know! This man is awesome!!

Agreed! I may get laughs for this, but, my favorite guitar solo of his is on Sergio Mendes' "Real Life". Check it out if you've never heard it. Love that sound of his, the most!

yay even Paul Gilbert said.."the only Guy I do not want to compete in a guitar battle is Dan Huff...I just would loose badly"

Guitar culture was so rad back then- I wish it was still like that

Better than ALL the LA guys. A truly brilliant musician. Moved to Nashville, because a producer, and built a career like no other. An absolute LEGEND in the industry.

For those who don't know, this guy, along with Steve Lukather and Michael Landau, was one of the most prolific studio guitarists of the 1980's and along with Michael, Steve, Dean Parks and Bruce Gaitsch, did almost EVERY well-known guitar solo and rhythm guitar line in all the well-known songs and hits of the 1980's. :-D

John Curry and David Barry too (Cher, Michael Bolton, Debbie Gibson etc).

love the way Dan smiles when he here's his first lick played back :) hes like me when i record myself and hear back :) I'm like damn is that me :) xd

What a badass! He's one of those rare players that does MANY things well. Kickass sound, killer vibrato, chops for days, fluidity and poise, and that awesome swagger that made the 80s era players so rad! Not to mention he can sing his ass off! It's a shame he's so underrated!

sadly true

Dann Huff is the best❤️

This guy is a REAL musician. He can sing very well and he's so awesome at guitar.

IIRC Paul Gilbert once said in a Interview "The only guy I never ever want to compete in a guitar battle is Dan Huff..I just would loose badly"

We love Dan Huff. Forever. The Best!!!!

I just dug a Giant cd out of a box today and listened to the whole thing twice on the way to work and home! Such good 90's music. Then I came home and learned some of his solos. Awesome!

Dan Huff is Magic!

hes not underrated....in the music business he is extremely well known....just not to the world.....but he prefers that over being known all over the world

Wow, glad someone pointed me to check Dan Huff, now I have another favourite. His style is like combinations of Lukather, Malmsteen, a bit of Paul Gilbert too. Awesome guitarist.

GOD BLESS THE HUFF BROTHERS!!! THANK YOU DAVID FOR ALL OF YOUR DRUM WISDOM MY FRIEND!!!

Love this. The 80 - 90s style had so much more feeling.

Dann Huff is very underrated guitar player, this is very awesome guitar tone and guitar shred yeah rock on Dann Huff!!..

Giant was a very underrated band and Dan Huff plays the shit out of almost everyone on the guitar scene...

Giant will be one of my all times favorites!

Wow this guy is amazing

dann is now producing country artists, here he is just showing his country roots

Great player and amazing tone

He is so adorable

Favorite vocalist of the era!

Is that David Huff on the drums? Knew them when they were in college. Great guys. Master musicians... with a very talented dad (Ron), too!

This is True Genius.

5:57 "It`s all in the attitude, all in the wrist ya know, like TENNIS!!!" hahaha #truth

Yeah Dann Huff is one of those bad moffo that has amazing skills on instrument and with voice too.BTW it may be easy to play FOR SOME,but do it in that absolutely right timing and with every touch perfect and .....no so easy.I saw a lot of guys who said how they can play,but what lot of people don't get is that people like Dann can do play after play perfectly.

What a nice guy.

Nah I can see through his niceness on the camera. You can see the gigantic ego easily.

Damn I'm jealous, amazing chops - and on top on that - he's a pretty good singer as well.

Funny how it works .. I used to hunger for instructional tapes, guidance, etc, regarding note choice, right/left hand technique, theory, all that jazz .. Now I can appreciate a tape like this or Brent Mason's "Recording Guitar" way more than any of those, because it's practical, go-to-work shit. Once you know how to play, learning how to record is just another ball game .. And you need both! Great post!

I need to get me one of those schmoes. (LOL)

His voice reminds me of Jeff Keith from Tesla :) Awesome playing too!

Very tasty guitar player, appears on a lot of my records and always lays down a nice meoldic solo

he played for so big artists like michael jackson, michael bolton, whitesnake, and many more... awesome musician and player of course :)

Dan has always been one of my favorite players!! Mega technique but still soulful!!

Very impressive player. I thought it was Steve Stevens on Highway to the Danger Zone, which I think is a pretty decent compliment to Dann.

A maestro

this dude is underrated.

I'm here because I discovered that he was michael w smith's guitarrist oh my, he is very very good

He's worked with Mariah Carey and Tim McGraw a couple times in the mid '90s

He moves his hands around when he talks. I can see his guitar pick between the fingers. I wish I knew what kind of guitar pick he used. Maybe somebody out there who's personally worked with him knows what he used back then.

these videos are of great value!! thanks for posting!

Dann ìts a great Melodie what you have write i love this in Love Jimi the Rat

My goldfinches start singing when hear it

Has Dann ever mentioned here or anywhere else what kind of guitar pick he uses, or is that one of his "secret weapons" in getting the tone that he gets?

Wow.. Dan uses Tyler's as well

Dennis Quaid!!!

80's

Were these supposed to be instructional? lol Dan: "Just do this (plays something insane)." Student: "..... Uhhhh." Dan: "Or if you want, you can give it some attitude (plays something insane)." Student: "......"

Camera guy sucks. I can't count the times Huff said he was showing us something and both of his hands were not in the frame!!! It is like the camera guy didn't realize both hands are used when playing a guitar. Huff plays and does everything at lightspeed. Most people watching this learned nothing except how darn good Huff is. Haha

modesnty cudnt hurt him

I have ask for you have play for the Band Pur from Germany play Guitare in Love Jimi the Rat
