Denny Dias

Rick Beato recently did a great interview with Denny Dias - famous for his great playing on Steely Dan recordings. Personally, he's my favourite of all the stellar guitarists that played for Becker and Fagen so this was a real pleasure to watch.

Good interview.

I HATE the ad breaks watching YouTube.

Humble guy. FINALLY someone  covers the elusive Denny  Dias. Only  took 50  years!

Only knew of Denny reading the credits on the albums.

"Beato, whose puppy-dog-like enthusiasm usually dominates his interviews and serves to draw interesting stuff from his subjects, doesn’t get far with Dias, who apparently isn’t interested or willing to be drawn out."

We have to take what we can get.  Beato isn't an experienced interviewer. He's"only" 63. He was a grade school  kid when the CBAT was released!

Most interviews are awkward when interviewer is a generation younger than the interviewee. 

Being a guitar fan, I like Beatos techie questions. I'll be honest, other than to guitar centric questions. the interview was dull.
