By the 5 minute mark if you're a guitar player, and you're not misty eyed, well...maybe you haven't been listening to this since '72. That's OK though... just keep listening. You'll see...the absolute beauty in it all.
I'm not a guitar player and didn't get to hear this in 72, but I cloud up and smile, at the same time, when I listen to it now. It is beautiful and ethereal. Dickey Betts is a genius writer and player and he and Duane were more than dialed in with each other, when playing guitars.
Absolutely spectacular song absolutely tremendous I've been trying to learn this on my electric guitar for weeks there's so many bits and pieces to it it's two great players and when I listen to the song without my guitar I just shake my head these guys were incredible and Dwayne was so young
Heavenly rest to both these gentlemen who brought so much pleasure to millions over the last five decades. Blessed to have lived at the time of their music.
This is very interesting, thank you. I taught myself the entirety of this lead break back when I was 19. Once you do that, the style becomes an indelible part of your own lead playing for the rest of your years. I still play my country rock licks with this flair. I consider it to be one of the best lead guitar parts ever particularly when one realizes it is played over a simple E to A rhythm progression that repeats for many bars. Learning these licks was one of the best lead guitar cover experiences I have ever undertaken.
Since I've been playing guitar 25 years now I finally decided to tackle learning this song and it has been the most fulfilling in one of the hardest things to remember all the tremendous parts and when I listen to this song now I appreciate it so much So if you play guitar try to play this song sometime try to play even just pieces of it it will blow you away it's so incredible to try to play
It's like it has its own language. You can hear words, but you don't know the letters, but you feel them too. Or the way the tune jumps: going on a tangent, then doubling back; then reconsidering it, then some other hesitation, and it continues rippling into more variations.
works so well together. something about Dickey's tuning is just a bit off. The solo sounded great, the rhythm just sound 100% right. but my goodness, one of my favorite songs
Aidan, I DO happen to have it--but it's not organ. Gregg only played electric piano--and it's repetitious for most of the song. If you want a copy, just email me at mdlop8@gmail.com.
No disrespect to Dickey who WROTE THE SONG, but if it weren’t for Duane, this would be just another nice tune and not the classic it is. You know Duane came up with the whole arrangement, but true to his nature, he always credited and lauded Dickey for his contributions to the band. Thank you for providing this mix!
Hate to bring disagreement to such a beautiful song, but unless it’s noted somewhere, I don’t know that Duane came up with the whole arrangement. And not a classic but for Duane? Liz Reed, Ramblin’ Man, Southbound, Jessica.
You may be correct but hard to know. I taught myself this lead part years ago. And the most vital phrasing is what Duane lends to the lead part I feel. Throughout he plays the bent G to bent F# to the E. Listen at 1:41 to hear what I mean. That was the most iconic part that I took away from it and I work it into my own lead playing whenever I can it is so classic. Nobody ever did that before and few after him, in fact I have never really heard anyone else do it.
@@chipurBillWhite Cool that you took a listen. Just love the feeling I get from this song. So free like an open road in front of you or just a happy and sunny day in the country hanging out with friends. Be well.
I could just play this as the background music for my entire life.
Brilliant comment, and I agree.
IMHO Duane's solo was his finest masterpiece. I've never heard timing, phrasing, touch and tone all be so perfect for a song.

Duane and Dickey had a one of a kind cosmic bond. Oh, what could have been but thank goodness we have these timeless masterpieces forever.🎸🎸
The opening lick to Duane's solo melts me. It's like he was laying out the red carpet and saying "Come on. You're gonna love where this goes."
his phrasing and pacing are the reasons this is my favorite solo (besides dat tone obviously)

One of the happiest songs ever written
Heavenly rest to both these gentlemen who brought so much pleasure to millions over the last five decades. Blessed to have lived at the time of their music.
no one could ever listen to this and not have a head full of beautiful thoughts
One can only dream of the magic that could have been had duane and B.O lived
Lullaby for guitar heads. Simply beautiful.
Rest in Peace Dickey.
Thanks for the great iso tracks on this day of transition & remembrance.
I could listen to this forever.
Just send me an email: mdlop8@gmail.com
Dickey Betts got too little credit!
Way too little.
This makes me appreciate one of my favourite songs even more
Touching my very soul every day for over 50 years!
Berry Oakley’s bass is perfect and varied and dances together with all the rhythms and melodic nuances. One mind working together and that is a band.
Both had truly great solos on this one.
Absolute oneness and virtuosity and tonal perfection.
Harmonic brotherhood, right for the world and the advancement of peace, love and art.

You have made my year my friend. About 1 minute 10 when Duane hits that first bend...............my word it still gives you chills.
The sustain Duane would get out of a single struck note is so long you could park a semi on it and leave it running overnight.
Stunningly beautiful-thank you for this.
This my fav guitar solos. Just beautiful.
Hey this is incredible to hear them isolated then isolated together. Great stuff, and what guitarists!
just glorious. as perfect as it gets.
Thanks for posting

2:36 when Duane takes over-chills-
RIP Dickie
magnificent
Brilliant
That was amazing. Thank you for posting this.
Yes I’ve been waiting for you to release this! Thank you!
Huge round of applause for Bert in Canada on the magic of taking two halves and making a whole.
I appreciate this,thankyou man.
Wow! Great upload, thank you!
Thank you brother for sharing that
This is so awesome. Thanks!
Read somewhere in a comment.....can sell summer listening to this!!.......Get no better 'n that!!!!
Amazing ...
Can I get a hell yeah
Super cool but Duane should be on the left channel.
True, but someone else spliced the two tracks. I would have done it, yes. I just switched my speakers for this, but I understand your point.
@@MDLOP8 Hold my beer! Will go back re-get the FLACs and blah blah blah.
But...imagine yourself being onstage with them...Duane WOULD be on the right and Dickey on the left. That's how I "see" it in my head!
Love it!
So beautiful.
But you know, if you imagine yourself on stage with the band, then Duane WOULD be on the right, and Dickey on the left!!
PLEASE DO AN ISOLATED ORGAN!!!! i need to learn it pleaseee😭😂
Aidan, I DO happen to have it--but it's not organ. Gregg only played electric piano--and it's repetitious for most of the song. If you want a copy, just email me at mdlop8@gmail.com.
As Duane says at the end "pretty good".
Is that Duane? I was wondering who that was.
Exit opus, gone but not 4gotten skydog forever
Smell....should read smell!!

@@chipurBillWhite Dickey was at least as important anyone else in the band.
@@songshineoriginalmusic Interesting comment. Gave it another listen. Not a player, so your take really helps. Ty…
