Jean-Pierre Danel (born 4 June 1968) is a French guitarist, record producer, music writer and songwriter. Danel has recorded a large number of guitar albums, as well as guitar teaching materials. In 2006, his album Guitar Connection was certified Gold in France.
Born in La Varenne, France, Danel, the son of the French pop singer Pascal Danel and the nephew of opera director Jean-Pierre Ponnelle, started his career as a professional guitarist in July 1982, at the age of 14. After many tours and studio recordings with French session musicians, he released various guitar albums.
In 2001, he was invited to play on the album Les Masters de la Guitare, to which Eric Clapton, BB King, Carlos Santana or Al Di Meola also contributed.
Danel's album Guitar Connection was released by Sony/BMG in July 2006. It was certified Gold and soon became a series of albums, with Guitar Connection 2 released in March 2007. It contains a duet with British guitar legend Hank Marvin. In June 2007, Danel received the Grand Prix Français de la Guitare award. One of Danel's songs from Guitar Connection 3, "The Pink Side of Miss Daisy", reached number 8 on the Billboard French Digital Songs chart in 2008.
In November 2010, Danel's Out of the Blues guitar album was released by Universal, with sales going towards AIDS research. Danel recorded duets with a number of guitarists such as Hank Marvin again, Albert Lee (recorded at the Abbey Road Studios 2), Scott Henderson, Andy Powell of Wishbone Ash, Jake Shimabukuro and various popular French artists. The album was supported by Carla Bruni, then First Lady of France, and Brian May of Queen, who also wrote a note in the booklet. The pair was reunited in a charity organized by Danel in 2013.
