My name is Danny Clayburn & I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico USA. I play solo arrangements of bottleneck slide and fingerstyle guitar on a National Resophonic guitar.
I was first taken with this style of guitar playing when I was a teenager, and nothings been the same for me ever since. The slide on the strings is so expressive, almost like the human voice, it has really become the voice I am most comfortable speaking with.
My playing style is inspired by all the music I have ever listened to and loved, and while definitely leaning towards the blues, it also includes almost any form of music played with inspiration and emotion.
I use a lot of improvisation in my instrumentals, some tunes change nearly every time I play them to better fit the current mood or atmosphere. Most of my tracks are done in one take, truly music in the moment.
I play music because I love music, no other reason ~ all my songs are free downloads ~ I just want to share what I play with the world.
