A scan of the text and transcriptions by Joe Gore of how Danny Gatton describes “NIT Pickin” his Soundpage Contribution to Guitar Player in March of 1989. Danny was told you got five minutes to incorporate as many styles as you can into one song. And “NIT Pickin'” was more a less a sampler of things that Danny does. Danny Gatton showed what you can do by changing pickups, tone, picking patterns, where you pick, and whatever – to show as much variety as possible.
Danny demonstrates his right-hand approach. He hold a flat pick between his thumb and index finger while picking with his middle, ring and little fingers. This enables him to alternate between strait flat picking and various kinds of fingerpicking.
