It's funny that you mentioned Danny Gatton because when I see that grainy VHS thumbnail of a guy holding a Tele, he was my first thought

he is using a thumb pick no pick I believe. this guy is killer player

Also been a Scotty fan for a while. Definitely hearing some Les Paul in here too

What else is there to say but that was insane chops...... Wowsers

I really enjoy introducing people to Scotty Anderson who have never heard of him. I grew up about an hour from him. Regrettably, I’ve never met him. He’s clearly a master guitarist.

Scotty is just brilliant!!👏🙋‍♂️

🤣 I just burned all my guitars and amps.....lol

Legit sounds like two guitars!! Holy shit!!!

Great to see you're reviewing Scotty's playing!

sounds like laurie johnson and chet atkins meets ren and stimpy

Scotty had a Hot Licks video (or some such lesson video) out many years ago. Just one of his many amazing techniques was, he would play double stop solos with the pick hitting the lower string and the tip of his index finger that was holding the pick would simultaneously strike the next string above it. All clean as a whistle!! I love Danny Gatton as much as anybody but it would be hard to make the case he could play any better than that! Mind blowing!!

I knew this day would come. you handled it well. this is a stacking win friend!

Damn!!!!!! I will never even get close to that level on guitar. That is insane!

I’m no musician but I have to believe the secret to playing this way is breath control and relaxing. In my mind,you can’t this way if you’re overexcited!

I've been listening to Scotty Anderson for years and wondering when someone like you might take a look. He is simply amazing and his solos are harmonically rich...incorporating some very quirky techniques that I've not seen anyone else use. For me, he is a fascinating as Matteo Mancuso! Michael...Scotty has some instructional videos where he demonstrates, slowly, his harmonized picking technique which you are calling hybrid picking. While he does play individual lines with his thumb pick he does sometime fall back on his rather unique harmonized picking where he is play two strings simultaneously with his thumb pick and 1st finger. It's hard to see on that video, but on other clearer videos you can see what he is doing....although it does go by VERY fast!

It may sound strange, but I saw that video and was so impressed by his skill that I decided to learn that solo note for note with my feet. Yes, it's true... I can play that exact solo, note for note and at that tempo with my feet. I'm still working on getting it down with my tongue, but that's my girlfriend's fault.

I want to see this song remixed with a heavy metal pedal setup. He would shred.

He was on the cover of a guitar magazine I have, that says, the most amazing guitar player you have never heard from. R.i.p. Danny Gatton.

You may want to check out Marshall Harrison, he has a technique incorporating hybrid with economy and sweep picking to achieve fast tempos smoothly.

That's actually Fry-brid pickin' - as in fry my brain it's so crisp🍳🧠

Michael - my definition of a hybrid picker is one who plays with a flat pick and supplements that with notes played using middle and ring (& possibly pinkie) fingers when the song (or solo) calls for it. I think of Scotty Anderson as a fingerpicker, using a thumbpick. When playing single note runs, he uses the thumbpick like a flat pick. For double stops and chicken picking, he’ll use the thumb and index or thumb and middle fingers. For an appropriate comparison, watch Brent Mason…although Brent sometimes plays single note runs by alternating his thumb and middle fingers rather than simply using his thumbpick as a flat pick. Thanks for the spotlight on Scotty, who was a truly extraordinary player and should be more widely renowned.

I would love to see a "Hometown Hero's" series where you highlight Baltimore/DC based players!! that area has some seriously world class players who are criminally slept on

Go grab Brian Kooken (jazz guitarist) or Cris Jacobs. Baltimore area guys as well, and they're both super nice and chill. And both deserve way more recognition for their skills.

On recommendation from a friend I picked up a CD of his called Triple Stop. It’s quite something!

Remarkable; absolutely mesmerizing. What a talent! I know nothing about guitar playing, but have a look at Frank Vignola & Ken Peplowski playing "Tiger Rag" at a concert. There may be no point in trying to compare the two performances, but I would like to hear your opinion.

Totally thought this was going to be a Danny Gatton vid. 😊

Don’t think he’s hybrid picking. He wears a thumbpick. He does use the thumbpick as a flatpick at times though.

Note: Tommy Emmanuel & Molly Tuttle have recently posted several collab videos.

I saw this video about a year ago and i thought to myself maybe this is the best guitarist ever

2 minutes into the performance: 'Let's rewind that again!'

You can bet that Scotty watched a ton of Chet, Roy, and Jerry. There's no doubtnin' my mind. 👍

WOW

I subscribed to guitar gate ! See you soon

Michael, its hard to see in this video but I am pretty sure he is using a thumb pick, he has always used one as far as I know.

Your right - I have his Hot Licks DVD. He uses it in clawhammer style, but will also hold at so that it's being used like a flat pick, and the killer app is that when it sounds like two leads harmonised, he holds his thumb and first finger in such a way that he can pick two adjacent strings simultaneously - the thumb pick picks the lower string and the nail of his index finger picks the string above it. The man is a genius!

Although not ultra popular, I think going over an Ian Ethan Case song would be really cool. Hope you at least take a look at his incredible work :)

This is nothing watch part 3 of Shawn lane at goudswaard, the entire show is splendid and you should really do a full reaction to it, how ever in part 3 he goes full beserk with a sorta chicken picken style solo it’s a must watch !!!

Someone show him Jon Gomm Passionflower 🤯

ima look for a video of him and tommy

Many people listening to this, (vs watching the video), and assuming it was recently recorded, would likely conclude a looper was involved!

'I can't do that." Very few people have ever been able to do. that. If you groove on this sort of playing, check out Johnny Hillebrand, another monster hybrid picker.

Guess you already gave the answer 10 days ago. Matteo Mancuso might be able to match that speed, precision and clean Tone

This guy and Steve Morse have a lot in common....

Mateo Mancuso. ;-)

Johnny Hiland might come close?

When in the hell are you going to get a tele, Michael??

Yeah…..

Who’s faster, him or Billy Strings?

DANNY GATTON ✔

Let's see Taylor do that. Can't kick back and relax with this ditty though.

Just wondering what will happen to your face when you discover Matteo Mancuso.

I just decide to grab my guitar and throw it out the window.

great artists suffer for their art. great fans suffer with them

Johnny Hilan is pretty fast......Check him out !

I don't think he is hybrid picking. Thumb alternates with certain fingers (similar to brent but different fingers) but it's so efficient It looks like hybrid picking on this grainy video. He also flat picks with the thumbpick for fast lines. Triple stops too..... Dude is the best. Mateo is close.

He’s using a thumbpick.

Definitely influenced by Les Paul.

He's not playing hybrid at the beginning, though. That's more fingerpicking than hybrid, I think. He doesn't start hybrid until a little ways in, right? The rolls are easier without the pick.

Fastest, cleanest? Well, first of all, "fastest" doesn't impress me much - that just equates to "he who can show off the most." But having said that, this guy is obviously at the top of his game, and anything he _is_ doing is impressive indeed. But jamming in a million notes for filler...no, out of anyone. But I kinda see what he's doing as not so much classic hybrid picking, as (fast) Travis-style picking - same as Jerry Reed did, with the non-thumb fingers kept mostly rigid and curled under. And he's actually using a thumb pick some as Reed did. I saw some random "amateur" girl (can't recall the channel) on YT the other day totally emasculate every male guitarist who ever lived with her amazingly fluid sure-enough hybrid picking on your typical D-28, right from the big stage of her kitchen. She was ho-humming and running through a medley of tunes and not even breaking a sweat. I would consider Ricky Skaggs (mostly on acoustic), or Albert Lee (mostly on electric) as two of the best (sure-enough) hybrid pickers that folks are familiar with, but there are many others who are by no means slouches. And yeah - they aren't slow when it comes to showing out.

He is great but he is playing it to fast the song doesn't go that fast !!!!!
