Yeah, but he's hiding all those clams with the volume pedal.

A great player and a wonderful gentleman.

Another proof that it's mostly in the hands. Heck, Danny doesn't use the volume pedal on this one and I don;t even miss it. Amazing control in those hands of his. Great work Danny.

Yes Danny is one of my all time favorites! He's got it all...touch, tone, taste, a deep bag full of cool new ideas. You can just tell he's logged in a lot of time as a pro on stage to put it all together. I love his spin on tunings! It kind of reminds me once again why I think the ultimate goal for all of us is to find our own voice and not be too concerned with standardization. I'm pretty sure he uses a variation of A6 on the top neck (like a reverse E9 in pedals down open position) and on C6, he uses a Chalkeresque setup. And yes, his volume pedal technique is something we can all learn from!

Thanks Danny, and thanks David for posting!!!

Way cool, Mr. Sneed! The C-neck stuff (in the immortal words of Little Richard) made my big toe shoot up right in my boot!

Thanks for posting it, David.

This guy is great!! His command of both necks is impressive and his tone is perfect.

If I had a pair of wire cutters right now I think I'd cut the strings off of my guitar...
