I think I've seen every Dann interview and heard every podcast, and this is one of the most compelling conversations. I would read his memoir if he ever published one, so many great stories. Thanks for a great interview!
I can't even tell you all how honored I was to be able to sing Time To Burn with Dann and his son on the night he mentions. Not only an amazing musician, insanely great guitar player, incredible producer, writer and arranger, but just a wonderful person. Allowed me to fan boy on him in the green room before we performed together. Absolute class act.
@@thezakkuhnshow yes sir , and he is one of my very favorites,if not favorite Guitarist.I think his playing is it . I've been playing 35 year's,so I've known of Dan Huff ,for sometime now ,he is a absolutely incredible player.
Me Three! Dan Huffs the Man! With just the right guitar in hand! Great interview! Truly brilliant!Thanks! Keepem coming! And I’ll come runnin! One more vote for the one,the only, the inimitable, Tom Bukovac aka Uncle Larry! So good had to subscribe! Thanks a bunch!!!👍🙏🎸🫶🙌👏✌️👋
Zak you are absolutely killing it with these interviews! All of the Nashville guys I want to hear from…..to hear their stories, recording methods, making music live on stage and in the studio. Fascinating stuff. And I love the way you just jump in and start talking to them and you are off and running. No fluff or a long list of credits. If we want that we can look it up ourselves. Most of these guys don’t need an introduction-Brad Paisley, Guthrie Trapp, and now Dann. If you don’t know who they are you should, especially if you love guitar. Keep these coming Zak, they are pure gold!
❤sweet Dann Huff! the 80s, were my time to choose my top 40 material, and I know how much he impacted me and was the magnet for me to choose certain songs
Loved this. As a lifelong musician, I have always been a student of the music I love, and play, and the people who have created it. I just discovered your channel tonight, and I have Subscribed, and now I have this wonderful new perspective on some amazing artists you’ve already interviewed, and will interview in the future. Your obvious enthusiasm is great. Cheers!
Thanks so much for the subscribe and for the kind words! Pumped that you’re spending some of your time with this content! We have some killer interviews coming up! Anyone you think I should go after??
As a bass player of over 45 years now, I’d love to get some insight of the great Nashville Bass players, session and touring, and hear what inspires them. Maybe some insight into their tone and how they get to it. Michael Rhodes was my go to guy for so many years, his parts and his approach to the instrument were my gold standard. Thanks!
Excellent Interview! I became a Dann Huff fan as a kid when I bought the first White Heart album and was hooked on his playing and later on production, not to mention he is such a cool, laid back and humble person. Please try and do an interview with Chris McHugh!
I remember that interview in the Guitar magazine as clear as day where Luke mentioned Dann. 🙂. To hear him say it meant something to him is so cool. Great interview. Dann and Luke. Enough said
Love this interview!! And besides the wonderful session/producer stories, this is the second one where Dann has mentioned writing new material for a yet to be released album and I’m so excited for that!! Hopefully we’ll all get to enjoy a new Dann Huff album soon!! Again, great interview!!
Thanks for doing this man! Keep up the great work! Dann is a treasure, and has such a broad range of fantastic work! The Uncle Larry story about the pedal is dead on the money 😂😂
I too arrived here on a homeskoolin’ field trip, fascinating interview! Heard about Dan Huff through Tim Pierces pg, and now here….going to have to do a deep dive on his playing now… Thanks so much!
One of the best interviews I've seen with amazing Dann 🤩 I share so much of his whole history that it's spooky....same idols and inspiration during the same years, both moved to LA in the 80's after being studio players in our home towns (me in Sweden), working with a lot of the same players....and both having the same big mentor in Mutt Lange! Plus....as a fun and freaky side bonus...I've co written and play on a song for the next Giant album...and even though I've played on many big albums I'm WAY behind Dann haha Great job with this interview Zak!
@@thezakkuhnshow 40 years, more than 3000 albums, 100+ gold and platinum with a rather insane list of people....which means that VERY few people know who I am like with most session players hahaha If you like Time To Burn I think you will dig this song 🥰 Keep up the great work!!
Great interview, I've learned time to burn intro by slowing down Dann's vhs guitar school maybe 3-4 years ago. Would like to see him playing giant songs, at least playthrough....that would be an epic moment..
Mr Huff comes across as very introspective and thoughtful, and he is still with his childhood sweetheart, he worked hard, stayed humble he deserves everything hes accomplished, one of the best Guitar Players to walk the Planet Kudos Mr Huff 🎸🎶👍😎
And there was great rejoicing by all the #Dannfan army. If they sent a guitar solo into space today, it would be Danger Zone. Actually, that solo is probably traveling through space on the wings of its own awesomeness. Dann Huff rules.
The guy whose name they struggle for towards the end is obviously Matteo Mancuso - but someone else has probably already posted this in the comments... (couldn't find it, though)
Funny that Rick just dropped that interview. We recorded this conversation a couple weeks ago so that info did not come from there. Thanks for watching friend!
How come no one asks Dann about the little things like strings and picks. Every interview I've watched, it never comes up. Is that a question that is off limits? 🤔
Just stumbled on this RUclipsr. Thought it was pretty chickenshit that he basically listened to Rick Beato‘s interview with Keith Urban from three days ago and then penched all his information and claimed that he knew everything. If you want to know about Keith Urban and this story go watch Rick Beato!
Well….the watching the Olympics reference (Dan made) leads me to believe that this was probably recorded prior to Rick releasing his video. It’s not the first time I’ve heard the Huff/Urban story either so maybe there’s an older interview out there. Either way it’s a just small part of a great interview.
Yeah, given the release dates of Rick's video and this one it's at least a bit conspicous to hear that story almost cited verbatim with Mr. Kuhn not giving any source. I immediately thought this is not what I'd call good style.
Why ist Dann so popular at the moment? These rack sounds and the clean strat tones with parallel switching are so underrated. Nobody war interested in this. Even worse, most hated this 80s guitar sound. He was the master.
@thezakkuhnshow you should honor your guests (and beato) and be honest with them and not act as if you actually do "know everything". that's embarrassing.
Good interview, but what would have made it great if we could have heard some of the songs you guys were talking about. ruclips.net/video/XiCwR68Cp5I/видео.htmlsi=5Zzwx-qWXxc7OoJo Interview with the music with it.
I can only quote the great Groucho Marx, (probablly unknown in ,the age of the moron) "Don't leave in a huff, leave in a minute and. Huff", Sorry mate I font know who you are?
I remember that interview in the Guitar magazine as clear as day where Luke mentioned Dann. 🙂. To hear him say it meant something to him is so cool. Great interview. Dann and Luke. Enough said
I think I've seen every Dann interview and heard every podcast, and this is one of the most compelling conversations. I would read his memoir if he ever published one, so many great stories. Thanks for a great interview!
Thanks for watching brother and for the kind note! I’m pumped that you dug it!
Uncle Larry sent me. Dan Huff has made such great contributions to the music world.
Did Tom mention it anywhere?
I can't even tell you all how honored I was to be able to sing Time To Burn with Dann and his son on the night he mentions. Not only an amazing musician, insanely great guitar player, incredible producer, writer and arranger, but just a wonderful person. Allowed me to fan boy on him in the green room before we performed together. Absolute class act.
Dude!!! That’s awesome that you saw this! I bet that was a crazy moment. Thanks for watching!
Those Giant records killed me as a guitar player. I loved everything on it. Great vocals, too. I am so happy to listen to Dann. Cheers from Germany!
Same here! Amazing playing on those albums! Thanks for watching!
Cheers from Germany too.
@@shorerocks Same I adore the Giant albums . Dan Huff is such awesome musician.
Dann is a great interview and so down to Earth, I can see why he and Uncle Larry are so close
So true! He’s one of the best to ever do it! Thanks for watching!
Love Dann Huff, completely underrated guitar player. One of the best grooves and phrasings, and one of my biggest inspirations.
That’s awesome! He’s one of the best to ever do it! Who else is on your guitar inspiration list?
Awesome interview, can listen to Dann's stories all day!
Same here! Thanks for watching!
Great interview!! Home skoolin field trip by Uncle Larry
Did he mention it somewhere?
@@thezakkuhnshow Yep, on his channel. He recommends we go see it.
Thanks for interview. I adore Dan Huff ❤😍
He’s the man! Thanks for watching! Are you also a guitar player?
@@thezakkuhnshow yes sir , and he is one of my very favorites,if not favorite Guitarist.I think his playing is it . I've been playing 35 year's,so I've known of Dan Huff ,for sometime now ,he is a absolutely incredible player.

I love these " session guy" interviews . Glean so much info from these legendary players. Keep up the good work Zak !!
Same here! The session guys are the best! I learn a ton when I hang around them! Thanks for watching and for the kind note!
Every Dann interview has me smiling and bouncing my feet.
He’s the man! Thanks for watching brother!
Dann Huff is a gem. Even so, I couldn't make it more than 6 minutes into the video before I had to stop.
Sorry to hear that
Well done on getting to interview the guitar legend who is Dann Huff.

Keith Urban mentioned all that Huff stuff on a recent Rick Beato video also.
I saw that! Funny coincidence. We recorded this interview a couple weeks ago.
Good interview. Really liked the interaction and really liked getting to know Dan.
Thanks for watching friend! This was a really fun one!
Merci for this new interview of Dann Huff. He is a truly Guitar Hero! (I like the singer and producer too)

@@thezakkuhnshow 1000%
great interview. everyone wants to be dan huff. all of these guys are survivors. evolution did its job.
So true! The cream always rises to the top! People like Dann are a rare breed
One of the best interviews I've seen with amazing Dann 🤩

Thanks for watching brother! Sounds like you have had a crazy ride yourself! Pumped to hear that new Giant song!
@@thezakkuhnshow 40 years, more than 3000 albums, 100+ gold and platinum with a rather insane list of people....which means that VERY few people know who I am like with most session players hahaha
If you like Time To Burn I think you will dig this song 🥰
Keep up the great work!!
Love that you can hear how into the olympics Dann was when this was filmed
Ha! I guess so!
This is a brilliant interview
Thanks for watching friend! Pumped you found it!
what a great guy!
Such a good dude! Thanks for watching!
First time on the channel. What a great interview!
Thanks for watching! 🙌
I want so badly to meet Dan Huff 😍 Just so great 😃
Ha! Thanks brother! Hope you get the chance to meet him one day! He’s an awesome dude!
@@thezakkuhnshow me too ,hope to meet him soon . Would love to have his Autograph and pick . He is definitely one of my top favorite Guitarist. 😍
I love Dann (and David!) Huff, absolutely loved the Land of the Runaways album. Turned into such a great producer as well!
Amazing album! “I’m A Believer” is my fave track on it!
@@thezakkuhnshow I think "Hold Back The Night" might be mine, but overall it's a great album.
Matteo Mancuso is the italian guitar player❤🇮🇹
Yesss!!! The second it ended it came to me lol! Great player
Super intelligent guy.
Crazy smart dude! Thanks for watching brother!
Great interview, I've learned time to burn intro by slowing down Dann's vhs guitar school maybe 3-4 years ago.
Would like to see him playing giant songs, at least playthrough....that would be an epic moment..

Mr Huff comes across as very introspective and thoughtful, and he is still with his childhood sweetheart, he worked hard, stayed humble he deserves everything hes accomplished, one of the best Guitar Players to walk the Planet Kudos Mr Huff 🎸🎶👍😎
Amazing story right?? Such a cool guy! Thanks for watching! Pumped that you found this clip!
Dan is The Man
One of the best to ever do it! Thanks for watching brother!
@@thezakkuhnshow Can you please do one of theese with Jedd Hughes?
Legendary human ⚡️🎸🍻
One of the all time greats to ever do it!
And there was great rejoicing by all the #Dannfan army. If they sent a guitar solo into space today, it would be Danger Zone. Actually, that solo is probably traveling through space on the wings of its own awesomeness. Dann Huff rules.
Ha! That’s a killer solo! We really should send it to space!
My favorite one so far.
Amazing!!! Thanks for watching!!!
The guy whose name they struggle for towards the end is obviously Matteo Mancuso - but someone else has probably already posted this in the comments... (couldn't find it, though)
I love how Dann doesn't really try take credit for anything and at the same time doesn't just brush it off as hokey mysticism.
Yes! He’s so balanced in that sense. It’s very cool to see.
what a humble cat.
The most humble! Amazing dude!
Amazing interview. What i would do to be in your shoes. Excellent!\
Thanks for watching friend!!! This was a really fun one! Glad you dug it!
His name is Matteo Mancuso from Sicily
Yessss! We were having such a brain fart!
I always thought Toto was doing Giant on "KIngdom of Desire"...
Ohhhh i could see that great song!
Did Zack watch the Beato interview before this one :D. He knew about Keith's first session with Dann
Funny that Rick just dropped that interview. We recorded this conversation a couple weeks ago so that info did not come from there. Thanks for watching friend!
Guessing "that info" came from the Jeremy White interview Keith did? 😉
Dann says he doesn’t have perfect pitch.
I beg to differ I watched him double a keyboard solo in one take by ear.
Def a killer musician no mater how you slice it
What happened to Chris McHugh? Really miss his creative drumming. I know he worked with Keith Urban for awhile.
Amazing player! Glad you picked up on that!
How come no one asks Dann about the little things like strings and picks. Every interview I've watched, it never comes up.
Is that a question that is off limits? 🤔
Hmmm good question! If I get the chance to interview him again I’ll bring some of that up!

@@thezakkuhnshow Well, okay then - such things happen.
Sounds like a bunch of keyboard know-it-alls owe this RUclipsr an apology . . . if they were adult enough to do it.
Interviewer please pause let your guests finish
Lol I’m doing just fine brother. Thanks for watching
Why ist Dann so popular at the moment? These rack sounds and the clean strat tones with parallel switching are so underrated. Nobody war interested in this. Even worse, most hated this 80s guitar sound. He was the master.
It is all making a comeback right? Everything comes back around!
You heard it on Rick Beato 😂
You mean the interview that just came out? I recorded this interview with Dann several weeks ago.
Matteo Mancuso
Yesss!!! Lol. I can’t believe we couldn’t come up with his name! Amazing player!
He just watched Rick Beato's interview.🤦♂
Nope they recorded this weeks ago.
Lol we filmed this interview weeks ago but I’m flattered that you think I could move so fast. That Keith Rick interview came out like three days ago
he heard it from rick beato's interview with keith... verbatim.
zak should take notes from rick and NOT talk over his guests.
Lol that interview came out like 2 days ago. I’m honored that you think I work that fast 🙌
@thezakkuhnshow you should honor your guests (and beato) and be honest with them and not act as if you actually do "know everything".
that's embarrassing.
