I was Jeff’s tour photographer back 15 years ago — and he amazed me every evening. The guy is absolutely fantastic. I’m so happy you have recognized his talents. His writing is fantastic as well, and his shows are wonderful. Not to mention — he’s as kind and as genuine a man as I’ve ever known. Truly.
-
His song writing ability shows why he is such a great actor. He is good at finding the thing at the core of an emotion and simply and perfectly expressing it. As a guitar player and Luthier, I must admit that I was also moved to tears:)
-
I commented about Jeff Daniels on the previous video. I'm glad to see him get some love. He has described himself as a guitarist who does acting on the side.
-
Very cool - also Steve Martin on Banjo holy crap he can play too
-
Saw him live. An evening with Jeff Daniel's. It was a great show. Had know idea how talented he was.
-
If you missed out on HBO's "The Newsroom", go and check out the scene in the series finale where Daniels, in character, leads a garage full of people at a friend's funeral in a jam of Tom T. Hall's "How I Got To Mephis." He's put out like five or six albums too, over the years. Really amazing guy, and both smart and humble. I admire the heck out of him.
-
Conan's best guitar bit was an episode of Chicago Blues where he visited children in a school, he made up a song on the spot titled No Chocolate on a Monday, you need to watch that episode
-
The pride of Michigan right there. Jeff is a legend!
-
Jeff is an extremely talented individual and artist. It shows in everything he does. He has most of his songs up on his website including this one, which when I heard for the first time actually made me tear up.
-
Having been playing fingerstyle for 50+ yrs, I have no problem playing this exactly. What I was so impressed with is the melody of the song with lyrics that could make an old guitarist like me, get tears in my eyes. It was a surprise to find out such a talented actor was this great a musician.
-
damn bro, hell of a songwriter/musician
-
30 years ago, I heard Jeff was getting up and joining guitar players at his hometown Irish pub. The sports pub I worked in was on the same player circuit back then. They were so tickled that he did that. We are quite proud of our Mr Daniel's .
-
Samuel L Jackson also learned how to play guitar for a movie role, and he's actually pretty good.
-
I also happened to see that video this week and was mind blown! Had to watch it a few times to get my fill! Not only is he a really good picker, but he has a nice voice, and I really liked his song! AND, I later found out that he's written over 450 songs!
-
Two words. Charo. Malaguena. Sorry, you'll just have to make another video.
-
Jeff Daniel's makes me nostalgic and he's so humble, it warms my heart to see him come out of nowhere and humbly play the guitar the way he does and this song is so good 😊 cool to see you give Jeff a video, well deserved 👏 Tyler
-
Jerry Reed played alongside Chet Atkins and held his own. Legendary player and actor. He should be on this list. Likely in the top spot.
-
Are we ignoring Steve Martin because he's mainly banjo and not guitar?
-
I saw Jeff Daniels perform live nearly 20 years ago, “An Evening with Jeff Daniels” and I was floored. I have admired him as an actor and fellow Michigander for years, but his ability to entertain us with nothing but a stool, microphone and guitar for well over an hour elevated him to a new level with me. If you ever have the opportunity to see him, do it, you will not be disappointed.
