Gatton's playing combined musical styles such as jazz, blues and rockabilly in an innovative fashion, and he was known by some as "the telemaster" (a portmanteau of "Telecaster", Gatton's guitar of choice, and "Master").He was also called "the world's greatest unknown guitarist".However, he never achieved the commercial success that his talent arguably deserved.Telecaster player) Roy Buchanan.In 1993, Gatton was invited by rocker Chris Isaak to record tracks for Isaak's San Francisco Days CD.As a slide Gatton would often use a beer bottle or mug (still half full of beer) without regard to whether it might spill all over stage or his guitar (most likely, a clever gimmick by the showman).He always played with a jazz style teardrop pick, and was capable of intricate passages combining Bluegrass, bebop, and garage sounds, executed with amazing clarity and at dizzying speeds.Bombs"), Bill Kirchen, Albert Lee, Arlen Roth, Ricky Skaggs, Slash ("Guns N' Roses"), and Richie Sambora.Please help improve this article by expanding this section.Please remove this message once the section has been expanded.Les Paul, James Burton and Albert Lee all performing together.Cruisin' Deuces
