Making the Leap From Pop to Country 

Guitar playing, producing, composing and just being a good dude is not a struggle for Dann. He's brilliant!

Mason is such a well-prepared interviewer. Great job getting this info from Dann.

This has to be one of the coolest interviews I’ve seen in a long time!

Give me all the Huff!!! Don’t care how long it is. Gimme hours and hours of Huff!!!

Not sure how, but the Glory of Love interview ended up on my feed. Holy cow…I could listen to Dann talk and pick all day long.

Mason's look off camera @8:50 is the whole ballgame right there. Pure joy and enthusiasm for the music.

I still listen to that solo. Nothing like it! Such beautiful playing! And then.....Barefoot Jerry too! Big Love Dann!

Anyone who lived on reading album covers and sleeves back in the day knew who Dann was and how great he is. More importantly you never saw or heard if him falling in to some crazy bad stuff. Always a great example. Blessed to share this planet with him.

Dann is fantastic! I could watch and hear him play all day 😀

What an true Gentleman. Wow… and musicality to highest level. Great interview Jason!!

Dan...Brace yourself and proceeds to NAIL it!! Thanks again Mason. Another wonderful look into Dan Huff's legacy as a Player and musician.

This guy is so good it’s unreal. Love his solos on “Place in this world” still trynna figure it out.

I was turned on to Barefoot Jerry when I first moved to Nashville in 1975... fantastic stuff!

Dan is a legend in modern guitar world. He has super human skills and incredible phrasing. So fun to watch him having a good time here. Thank you for sharing such good content.

Brent Mason and Dann Huff's tones are some of the most influential session tones I've ever experienced as someone who plays. Their tones are exactly what I want to be able to play with as someone who's just a home studio amateur that messes around. Those tones from Brent and Dann defined my childhood. They have layers of depth to them no one else has really equaled.

Esto es oro puro, muchas gracias por compartir esto!!

These interviews are SO GOOD. Take me back to the 80’s man, every song had killer parts somewhere in it, didn’t matter what genre.

Nice to see Dann's love of guitar still there, fusing 80's rock and country 🤘😍🤘

i am in earthly heaven watching you two have fun. Dann is the bomb!

Rapaz... É um timbre melhor que o outro. Simplesmente fantástica a variedade de sons bonitos, em cada situação.

This was a perfect first coffee and danish video this am. Brilliant.

Awesome set of interviews ❤

Dann seems like such a great guy. love this series of interviews.

Great interview. Dann is such a nice guy who is grounded and a legend as well.

One of my all time favorite guitarists

Excellent!

Love that Dann mentions all his influences

We can see here, how Dann still loves playing the guitar! :)

What an good sounding Tele. Great fun! Broken Wing that Strat sound that is what I want from my guitars if I will get half the way with the one that I am tinkering with then I will jump of joy.

Anther great video Mason. You basically ask all the questions I would be too nervous to ask and later go, dang I should've asked x, y or z.

Dann. 👑

Dann can play many styles. Checkout his work with John Anderson, especially “Country to I Die” record, Blackhawk, Clay Walkers first album. Great playing.

Full session please 🥹🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

When Mr Huff alluded to Waddy Wachtel and that vibrato arm thing I thought of Linda Ronstadt's cover of "Hurts So Bad". Sweet part inspired by another wammy attack.

Man that 2 More Bottles riff sounds greatly inspired by Van Halen’s “Feel Your Love Tonight”.

Total legend.

I would love to hang out like that with Dan. I became such a fan of his when that Giant CD hit record stores. He is such a great player but if you have never heard his vocals, go listen to that first Giant CD!!!!

I can’t wait to see this whole interview in its entirety. These little teasers kill me lol

Great interview, Mason. 🤘👍

What A Great Interview!

Groove is so deep💯🔥

Absolutely fascinating. I was obsessed with obtaining Dan Huff's country sound for McBride. I was hired by a country band with a female vocalist back in the 90s, so I must have pulled it off because she has been my wife since...lol

Man that Evolution album of Martina shook my world. It was on repeat the whole time just for Dan;s playing and great production. Come on Mason. Post the whole interview 🤣🤣🤣.I am freaking out right now. To see him play Broken wing just made my decade. Thank you again for this interview Mason. Really inspiring

🔥🔥🔥

That Martina album was recorded at RCA Nashville and mostly produced by my friend Paul Worley.

You should try to get Vince Gill. His playing is great , and he has worked with so many artists, no doing The Eagles thing. It would be an amazing interview!

And ‘Uncle Larry’ took up when Dann, and Brent slowed down.

My fav Dan Huff works are with Clint Black and Jon Anderson. Dan came into his own.

What a great feel Dan has. I was trying to explain it to a non-.musician friend. The accents and playing on, before & ahead of the beat by a few milliseconds. Shredding doesn't do it for me. Give me something tasteful like what Dan does any day.

I have just recently heard about this, from Buk. This guy is a monster!!!

I'll wait until the full interview release. If I watch these videos is like watching spoilers for the full interview. Idk if you guys at Vertex like spoilers, I dont 😂

GIANT .... Last of the Runways!!!!!! That is all!

The artist I currently play for had Dann play on her first couple records and I curse him every time I have to play one of his solos with the super clean sextuplets. Check out Jo Dee Messina “Dare to Dream”

Believe the studio Dann refers to is The Money Pit……Eddie Bayers and Paul Worley’s studio

Great video! What model of Matchless amplifier was Dann playing on? Regards

What Gear did he use with the Tele? thanks

Is that Dan Huff on the guitar solo for "Summer's Coming" by Clint Black?

Is the interview coming out this week?

The interview; When today? 😂

If he is giving away any more Tylers tell him to give me a call LOL.

My wet dre@m would be in the same stage, the prime time of Dann Huff, the prime time of Steve Lukather and the prime time of Andy Timmons, all of them the best super strat rock tone about this specifically feel.

what amp and drive??

I really love the interviews you do with my great guitar heroes who have been my great inspiration and lifeline as a session guitarist in Sweden in the 80s. But I think RU-vidrs who use Telegram AI bots for their communication should think again.

I love your videos but the lighting really needs worked out. I have my brightness up and it’s still very dark. Thx.

It sounds thick and sticky, I think Boss GT100 can get that tone. Modern pedal i dont think so.

Wrong Jimmy Bowen pic...

Tom Petty famously called THAT transition of country music: "Just bad rock & roll." 😂

have him explain what gave him the right to do what he did to Megadeth's Risk album. I believe he went behind the band, dave mustaine's back and made changes without dave mustaine and megadeth's knowledge and consent. then erased the original masters so Dave Mustaine had to go back and re-record that album probably other albums. Have Dann Huff explain himself for that. Also have him explain what gives the producer the idea thinking they have the right to go behind a band, artist, musicians back without their consent and change even one note or hire a sessions player to change whatever it is. Producer is paid only to produce, they are not there to go against the artists, bands, musicians wishes and consent and change things. Now Producers can offer ideas and show the ideas, but the artis, band, musician gets the final say. Me if dann huff or any producer did what dann huff did to Dave Mustaine/Megadeth on their Risk Album. Go behind my or my bands backs and without our consent changed even one note. that person would be fired on the spot and would not be paid. and if they did as Dann Huff erased the original masters of Risk to where Dave had to re-record the album Which that probably happened to more megadeth albums than risk If i not mistaken countdown to extinction and maybe another album that someone (Producer) destroyed or erased the original masters to just like what happened to RISK. So Dave had to re-record those albums. To go against and or behind the artist/band/musicians back and make changes is one thing but to erase/destroy the original masters also should lead to that producer or producers blacklisting from the entire music industry. So ask Dann Huff his side of the Megadeth. Why did he think he had the right to record over dave mustaine's parts, removed the lead solo marty friedman did. I want to know what Made Dann Huff think he has the right to go against his clients backs and change things and remove things without their knowledge and consent You want to give him Praise. But no producer who goes behind their clients back artists, band, musician, etc. whether they were told by the record label or they decided for themselves. They do not have a say. They have to obey the wishes of the band, artists, musician, if they want a crappy production after the producer shown them ideas that would make it better and they say no. That is their decision and their decision is final. The producer can not ever go against the wishes of the client, band, musician, artist. go behind their backs without knowledge or consent and change or hire session players to come in and change things. Oh worried about their work , they don't want to be known to have produced crappy stuff. well you can always say well sorry but you need to find another producer. So I want to know Why Dann huff when behind the backs of Megadeth and Dave Mustaine and changed stuff on the album risk when they were remastering i believe it was most if not the entire megadeth catalog was being remastered at the time. Also why did Dann huff erase or destroy the original masters so Dave Mustaine could not go back and just start back at remastering instead of having to totally re-record that album. and i believe he had to re-record Countdown to extinction or another album as well. what you can make a copy from the original master and use that to remaster and have the original master tape just in case you need to start from that point again. Why anybody gives producers credit or praise. who do this behind the artists/bands, musicians backs without their knowledge and consent . They do not deserve praise, they deserve to be blacklisted and shunned.

Can someone please tell me what computer program he is using? Thanks!
