- Here's the next episode of Three-For-All with 3 Dickey Betts Licks From 1978.
Without question, Dickey Betts is a firey bluesy Southern Rock guitar legend. From his biting single-note melodies and licks to intense string bending, rhythmic phrases that turn on a dime, soulful vibrato, and so much more - there's a reason why players still talk about The Allman Brothers to this day, and Dickey is a big part of that reason.
This lesson focuses on a number of slick blues-rock phrases that came from a live performance in 1978 featuring Dickey Betts & Great Southern performing the song 'Good Time Feeling.' The ideas shared here include some signature rhythmically twisted phrases that have become one of Dickey's trademarks, along with a raw tapped bending phrase (which was unusual for anyone in 1978), sequenced pentatonic phrases using legato, smooth and expressive vibrato, and much more.
If you're already a fan of The Allman Brothers and wish to tackle some of Dickey's finely-tuned ideas or even newcomers to this group/player can find plenty to sink their teeth into and twist their fingers with hiding in this lesson. From emotive licks and phrases to intense blues-rock ideas played with authority - there's plenty to learn from a player as talented and legendary as Mr. Dickey Betts!

RIP Dickey.. I saw him in the late 70's and the mid 80's.
This guy is a really good teacher....
YUSSSSSSS. Thank you. Dickey needs more love. So do other guitarists that played with the brothers.
Indeed, Duane did so much but for a very short time in the ABB. Listen to “An Evening with the ABB” set 1 and 2 (released separately) from the 1990s. Another high point was after Dickey left with Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks at the very end on “One Way Out” in 2004. Wish they would have done more with that lineup.
Great insight into a great musician! Here in the U.K. I was brought up on Clapton, Page, Beck, Blackmore and Hendrix of course,.....then somewhere along the journey I heard the sound of Dickey 'sweet tone' Betts. Many other great guitarists have come and gone in those years but the sound of Dickey Betts is the one true sound that rings in my ears as the best guitarist I have ever heard. His playing and singing is pure music. I've never been to the U.S.A but Dickey has taken me on a journey from the civil war to the modern day. Honour and respect to the great Dickey 'sweet tone' Betts
I've always thought of Dickie as the king of the major pentatonic and yet all this stuff is minor pentatonic. Very interesting and informative. Thanks dude
Plays a lot of Dorian and mixolydian
ABB is rarely straight pentatonic. Liz Reed is Dorian for example. But he is king of long form major scale solos for southern rock.
One of the most unique players ever!Killer tone as well!
My Long Island friend Andy Aledort, was Dickie's guitarist in Great Southern. Andy is a great player and guitar educator for decades with Guitar Magazine and has some awesome Hendrix instructional DVD's. Loved to go to Andy's shows and "borrow" licks. Now we're in South FL.
Love your style of teaching. I especially appreciate you stating the note names you are hitting versus the string name and fret number. Teachers who identify notes by using the string name and fret number do students a disservice because knowing the actual note names helps reinforce that you are working within a framework (scale, mode, chord tone, etc.) That's a lot more useful that just saying 'B string 3rd fret. Thanks. Keep 'em coming.
FANTASTIC LESSON. Betts is the reason I play guitar. I'm always finding new things every time I hear his music. His knack for harmonies has always fascinated me. Thanks, DB.
WarrenHaynes is great player with a great voice ... both vocally and musically ... Great Lesson !!!
Great lesson and good to see Dicky Betts in the spotlight.
Always dug Dickey Betts!!......Thanks for the Lesson.
That first lick is right up my alley, (wait that didn't come out right)
I love playing those type of fills. So much feel in them.
Thank you, Thank you, 🍺’ski! I love Dickies phrasing & melodic solos.
I’m not a player, but I love Dickey Betts. And you’re an excellent guitarist and teacher. Enjoyed it.
Your vibrato is perfection.
My buddy was a roadie for the Allmans in the 1990s and so I got to go backstage and hang out with them back then. Very cool but Dickie was in a bad way with stuff back then for a while... Thanks for the inspiration David....
Great video! Dickey Betts stands with the best……. tasteful, innovation, tone, and always keep in the groove and swinging it., thanks much
Excellent vibrato! Great licks -- thanks for sharing.
I saw Dickey with the Brothers in ‘98 and they were on fire 🔥
RIP Dickey!!!
Yeah this was a good one. Dickie Betts is such a great player. Love his tone and style. So good. Very melodic. Great songwriter most of all. His son is cool too....a chip off the old block. I hope he keeps that family style going. Doing a great job so far and probably has some great stuff coming in the future.
I've been chasing Dicky Betts tone. Boy oh boy, when he gets going, he's the best, and I think his country roots makes him unbeatable. Nice video 😃
My money would be on Billy Gibbons for the second lick. Recognized it immediately , been playing it for years. Great channel, love the content and style.
Dave you are the gift that keeps giving. Not many youtube channels that make me want to grab my guitar and work through lessons each time a vid comes out, but your channel is the one.
Thanks for this Betts licks - kudos on your tone!
that rhythmically twisted phrasing has influenced my style for years ! Thanks David ☮️
Always loved Dickeys stuff even if its still way over my head as a player . 😅
Great lesson/exploration man!! Love ABB and Dickey’s style. You should check out some of the footage when Jack Pearson and Dickey were in the band together. It was only a couple of years (late ‘90s), but man they were unreal together! Jack is a monster player!✌🏻🎸
Yes! Jack Pearson! And Dickey too!
Love the Allman Brothers, Dave. The Allmans were innovators. I’m pretty sure you can hear Dickey or Duane pick tapping(?) in Live At Fillmore East. Volume swells, harmony runs, jazzy chords and progressions, totally improvised breaks, on and on. I can assure you young EVH knew who Dickey Betts was.
When you played the tapping lick, I immediately thought of Billy Gibbons. I think Billy was doing that sort of tapping lick as far back as 1973!
I love your lessons. Thanks
Glad I stumbled onto this. Huge Dickie Betts fan. Duane was a great slide player, but I never understood why he overshadowed Dickie so much. I got the sense that Duane was technically proficient as a studio guy, but the bulk of the creative energy was coming from Dickie. Wasn’t every hit AB original penned by Dickie? I get the impression Duane was good at creative interpretations of other people’s songs (Elmore James & T-Bone Walker) while Dickie was doing most of the creating of original material (Elizabeth Reed, Blue Sky, Jessica, Ramblin’ Man, Southbound) I mean come on. I was fortunate to see a lot of him in the late 70s, early 80s. Always at tiny bars in and around Chicago like Biddy Mulligans. One weekend you’d see Dickie there. Two weeks later it would be Greg Allman with Dangerous Dan Toler. I could always pick which solos were Dickie’s from most Allman Bros stuff because he was Mr. Dorian scale . That, to me, is signature DB. I also read an interview with him where he said Western Swing was a big influence for him. I think his father may have even been in a Bob Wills type band. I think those hard to duplicate little solo riffs he does where it feels like he’s going one note forward and two back in the scale (you have an example here)that feels like a very Texas Swingy thing. Thanks for doing this! Another great reason to listen to more of his playing!
I saw him 'warm up' for Roy Buchanon! Dickey was a bit on the jazzy side for me then but I won't ever forget it.
Thanks for reminding my old brain cells-my brother and I went to see The Great American Guitar Assault at the Park West venue in Chicago, late 70s-early 80s-ish. It featured Dickie Betts, Roy Buchanan and Lonnie Mack. I was already a guitar player and no stranger to loud shows, but this was the loudest concert I ever attended. We both literally had to stuff cocktail napkins in our ears-especially for Roy’s set. He loved playing those ear splitting high notes off the end of the neck-the fact he was playing a Tele was a force multiplier in terms of ear piercing-ness. 🤣
One of my favorite guitar players! You sound really good doing Betts licks.
So cool!
Mr Betts never got the notoriety he deserved because of Duanes slide playing. Both Great players. Cheers
This is cool, thanks.
You are the man! Well done!
Saw Dickey with Duane and the gang just before the first brothers album was released at the Filmore East 1969, been to a lot of concerts over the years since then, it still rates as the best
LOL dude.. that is the first time I watched a youtube guitar video and and dropped my jaw wide open lol. I know you didnt make it up, but showcaseing it like that. Omg I have to learn it! Starting at 8:04. Great gem of a lesson. Thank you!
Love ur Les Paul man 😍😍😍
Brilliant lesson by a brilliant guitarist
Thankuu so much Dave 😊
I saw Dickie in a small club on Long Island NY and with the original Brothers lineup with Duane....he is very underrated.....the perfect counterpoint to Duane as well as a true original ......sure miss those boys..... another great job.... thanks
This is great
Excellent demo!
Great lesson!
Awesome🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
I'm getting a Joe Walsh vibe also...Dickie is the master.🍄
Thanks. Very nice dive into Dickey's style.
thanks you are amazing player yourself
Hey Dave, it's sooooo refreshing to see a teacher using proper playing form of one finger per fret and using the pinky (so many YT guitar "teachers" make me shudder). Many of these "teachers" are self taught hackers and don't know proper form.
The shredders and jazz players know that speed and precision requires efficient form, and in the case of Gambale, economy of picking. Why flail and reach over frets when the pinky is in correct position? It takes extra time and effort to play well using bad form. It's just plain inefficient learning.
What disturbs me is so many hackers on YT who learned from tabs and lifting licks off CD's are teaching bad habits to the younger players just starting out.
Great licks and playing, definitely one of my favorite live versions of this song.
Dickey is a living legend, and thanks for showing that interesting book, I will order it.
RIP Dickey we lost him yesterday
Very interesting story at the beginning. Great one, Dave. I've only read about this cat in guitar mags in the 80s. That's one of the things i like bout your channel, you do bits on guitarists I've overlooked. Keep it up🤘😎👍
watched a ton of your vids, all gr8 but i never noticed how GREAT your vibrato sounds until around the 12 min mark / end of the credenza WOW
Yes, REALLY GREAT BOOK!
Great licks. Thanks
Great stuff. Thx!
Thanks for showing this!
Chet Atkins was doing those taps and two finger tapping way before Eddie was even born. A lot of folks don't realize that.
Thank you
Been on a huge Allman Bros binge lately, good timed video! Yeah that bend tap lick is very much like Billy Gibbons on Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers!
Dickey's playing expanded into many musical genres. His phrasing was always beautiful. Back in 1974, he released a solo album...Highway Call. This album seems to have gotten lost along the way. More of a country flavor. Vassar Clements on fiddle. Chuck Leavell on keys. Check it out.
love that album so much!
Thanks for keeping “it” alive. Great lesson!
Hey Dave love this lesson
Dickie is an icon!
He wrote some of the best southern rock songs of all time.
He’s also a great singer
And his guy style is infectious
Every guitarist who plays with him begins to sound like him .
Awesome
For the tapping and bending , watch the fillmore east concert on you tube,. Duane was also doing the "Joe Satch" pick tapping, think it was whipping post , but not 100 % sure.
Thank you for sharing, love your sounds and teaching method.
Fantastic Lesson
Love it, you sound great, guitar sounds great, Dicky is the Man!
I only got to see Dickie twice with the Brothers here in the UK. Once back in 1980 & then again in 1991 but you've really got his feel down in this lesson (as I remember it from back then). Spoke to Duane Betts a couple of years ago when he toured over here & he's still striving to capture Dickies vibrato.
You sir, are a well spring!
Thank you
Totally appreciate you playing and passing your knowledge on ! Thanks Mate.
Very nice lesson …
Thank you for the Dickey Betts review.
You nailed the licks, great video
That last lick is bad ass bro! 😎
Thank yu Mr Dave~ such a tasty player and good gentle soul yu are
I would recommend listening to the Allman Brothers - The Fillmore Concerts from 1971, if you haven't already. Dickey does some tapping bends and Duane does some tapping using his pick on the neck.
Great playing, and the tone is beautiful.
I've been stuying some more fundamental DB style licks up on frets 9,10,11,12. This is terrific and much greater detail, thanks so much! And again a major pentatonic and or myxolidian sound often - and it seems to carry the same melodic and harmonic feel with the A min pentatonic. Brilliant. I also agree you can ALWAYS tell when he is the guitarist even when surrounded by others.
Very cool stuff. Thanks for this!
Thanks David !! U give me inspiration to really explore the minor pentatonic scale, I believe one one note , played just right can really stir emotion !!
Thank you!
iI played the crap outta the Atlanta Burning Down Album back in my youth 😅 Great Guitarist 💖💖💖💖💖
Good video. Some cool things to learn. Thanks Dave.
You’re one of the better guitar players on this tube, homeslice. Actually know what you’re doing.
Larry Carlton does a similar bent tap lick at the end of the main solo on "Kid Charlemagne" by Steely Dan circa 1976.
Amazing vibrato! Loving this channel, I just found it and subscribed yesterday. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Very nice how you show the original sound and yours it was a great video thanks for all your great work
People always trying to find out where Dickey heard stuff that nobody else was doing! He was the original. NO ONE did his harmonic tapping technique he started back in 70-71. That is amazing stuff, right hand octave harmonic tapping along with left hand fingering.
Zabardast cheers from Toronto....
Gd lesson… Dickie was amazing
Good stuff! That bonus lick gave me a new take on pentatonics! Thanks!
PSYCHOTIC WALTZ old man 😊
Hey, Dave. How about some Dave Meniketti?
Would be cool to see "the chords of david brewster". Or the david brewster 3 for all.... Showing your own licks from your songs.. And a bit about how you write.... What inspires which tunes... Its not self serving.. We are all here because we are fans.... Something like this.... 👀🤔
Yes would love to hear some of Dave's stuff
Big ABB fan here, also a fan of yours, thank you.
Never got to meet Mr. Betts, but i do know his daughter and son in law very well... points for guessing correctly....
Fkn great breakdown bro!
Excellent, excellent Late Night David! Big Dickie Betts fan. Loved the One Way Out book also. I highly recommend another Alan Paul book, Texas Flood. It's co-authored with Andy Aledort on the life of Stevie Ray Vaughan. Keep up the good work. How about a Late Night on Mike Campbell?
Edward was doing that way before Panama. Off the top of my head, he does that on You're No Good.
