Allman Brothers guitar music was transformative for me. It was one of my biggest musical influences.
Duane's use of phrasing was also spot on
Allman Brothers have had a lot of amazing guitar players. Not sure exactly how to put this but part of what makes Duane the best of them all is he could play so beautifully that would make you cry and then play so powerfully it could knock you back in your seat. He had an incredible tone and could play just about anything and play it well. Of course he never played the same song twice the same way and just about every time it was a masterpiece. I've listened to the Allman Brothers thousands of times and they're the only band I never get tired of.
If Duane was still around today the band would be doing great rock jazz fusion. One thing a little overlooked here and for many years was the genus of Greg Allman. Also , the fantastic bass player Barry Oakley. The incredible rhythm section gave Duane the perfect structure for his great skills ! If you were lucky enough to see the Allman Brs. band live , or just listen to Filmore live, you can see that they were one of the tightest bands ever.
SPOT ON!
That came from constant playing together. They knew each other's nuance.
Duane listened to Kind Of Blue almost exclusively for the last 2 years of his life...Hearing master modal improvisation had a big influence...
Some people have to make themselves find time to practice. Some people think "I'll just pick it up for a minute," & are gone for hours.
The album Fillmore East changed my guitar learning journey forever! The 2 guitar orchestration blew my mind! I have always loved their music and always will. Seen them 2 times once with Dickey and Warren and once with Derek and Warren. Amazing!
Duane & Gregg are and always will be the greatest pair of Brothers in music. Had Duane not been killed, the Allman Brothers Band would've taken over the world with his and Dickeys guitars as the driving force and Gregg's voice to compliment them. Then Barry and Jaimoe and Butch carried the rhythm section thats been unmatched since.
Once in a lifetime band. Wish I had been alive to see them. Thank God my Dad did. They're his favorite band and Duane, his favorite guitarist. Thanks to my Dad, I share middle names with the greatest guitar player to ever live, Howard Duane Allman. The person who inspired me to learn to play guitar. And I did all this on my own. Not because my dad force it on me my entire life. I mean, he did but that's not why Duane is my favorite. I never took to ABB until later in life, when I searched out their music for myself and instantly understood why my dad loved Duane so much.
Today, I an guarantee you that I'm now a bigger fan of Duane than even my dad. All it takes is for me to hear ANYTHING by Duane and I'm inspired to pick up my guitar and play or try to learn what I just heard. It's not like that for any other player except maybe Buckethead but I don't try to emulate Buckethead too much. I usually play other stuff when he inspires me to pick up the guitar. But Duane? I'm inspired multiple times per day by him. Greatest guitar player that ever lived. Yes, better than Jimi, too.
Unmatched for sure.
Been playing a long time, was a Chet Atkins from age 6. Didn’t get into them until a year or so after Duane’s death but one thing I learned from Dickey & Duane was how to play tastefully.
Thank you for this man. I think Dickey tends to get underrated sometimes, and it's understandable, as Duane was a force of nature. But Dickey, especially during his last tenure with the band between 1989 and 2000, was an absolute monster. On good nights, his chemistry with Warren could easily equal that with Duane. And like you said he wrote so many classics.
Yeah I've been trying to figure out all the elements as to why the Betts Haynes era maybe a tad superior besides Betts and Haynes are great equally as the 70s with Duane my thinking Allen woody great great bass player but another thing Greg Allman's voice in the late 80s were far superior to his 70s stuff imo.
Dickey Betts.... truly one of the greatest.....going from Minor pentatonic scale right into major....so tasteful. He is a Master of that technique.
Dickey was always a monster player. Incredibly underrated. He and Jack Pearson and Derek Trucks had brief but brilliant tenures together, as well as Warren Haynes. People always forget Jack Pearson, but not if they saw him with the ABB '97-98.
Yxzz
@@alvarhanso6310 Yes Pearson gets forgotten at times and was a great fit.
I think the Allman Brothers were the first jam band I fell in love with. Never got to see Duane, but Warren and Derek have done amazing job carrying on his legacy. Their music pushes me to explore more while improvising.
I learned how absolutely incredible live music can be when my dad took me to see the brothers at Wanee
Thank him every day.
Allman Brothers at Great Woods 2001 was the first concert I ever went to when I was 13 years old...Derek was mind blowing and still is!
What I discovered about Duane and his solo style is this, he would play a lick, then play it again only slightly different. Maybe even 3 times and then resolve it. And move on to another idea, doing this until he built up to a crescendo. Duane would take you on a musical journey this way, building then releasing and building again, traveling another road on this musical trip.
Playing with lots of different band made me a better player, having to learn a set list in a week, makes you up your game
Always posting the topics I want to hear about!! Love your taste in music
Loving these videos, the way you frame the ideas really resonates with me.
Thank you much!
I like the fact that you stress, being a team player, (knowing when to play and when to lay back) and that your sound comes from your Soul, and the kind of person you are comes thru, and playing with as many people as possible, will only help you grow as a player. Thanks for your take on this subject.
I can't imagine there's a single "guitarist" on the planet who doesn't know of DUANE ALLMAN! 💯🙏💥
thanks Jeff, your words of care and advice are as inspiring as an ABB solo,
They were AMAZING live EVERY time I had the good fortune to be there! This is soo cool to learn what their signature sound elements are. Thanks Bro!
I agree totally with you as I played " Live at Fillmore" over again to learn the styling of Duane & Dickie. I tell all my friend to play this album over and over again. You got to learn not just guitar leads, but tempo's, runs, Blues, Jazz, and of course Rock! Thanks for your video!
What a great video, Jeff! Your comments about a musician being more than just a player really resonates with me. It is a real blessing to be able to share music with others and I think we really have to care about others for our music to be influential. I can tell you do! I really enjoy your work, keep it coming!
Thanks Jeff! Huge Allman Bros fan. So hard to cover them. We cut them from our live setlist till we can improve. We jam along with them for fun though.
Jeff this is a awesome video you put together ,thanks
Excellent video. Thx. Got to play them chops. Hittin the note.
wow. An entire playlist of Allman Brothers backing tracks. And they're really good too from what I just sampled. That's amazing. And you're 100% right about playing an inordinate ammount. The only path. And playing with other people, even if it's just a jam night, makes you a better musican. edited to add.. I'm pretty sure I was at that Great Woods show, this world is always a small one. My opinion on The legacy of the Allman Borthers is that...they created this giant family tree, all of these Allman-adjacent bands playing out now...and all of them have this one thing in common that, imo is Duane's legacy...that every one of them is a virtuoso musician in their own right and yet they all play in service of one thing and one thing only, one greater good and that is The Song.
Just found you on youtube not too long ago - great stuff - love the backing tracks and love the videos - really enjoy your takeaways on the different guitarists - was fortunate to work at Modulus Guitars in the late 90's, early 2000's and got to see the Allmans a ton (Oteil was a Modulus guy outside of the Allmans) and was always blown away - Derek is just a powerhouse, absolutely amazing player - would enjoy seeing your takeaways on Kimock and Herring, two more favorites of mine - appreciate all the great videos
Great tribute to an Iconic group of legends!
Oh, and a perfect example of Derek's style of playing, the vocal style he has perfected, is the song Maki Madni from the Derek Trucks Band. And the eastern influences are there, too. Amazing playing on that song, made me realize just how good Derek really was.
Tone !!! Tone and space !!!! And respect !!!
I have been playing guitar 50 years and while a fan of Duane Allman, Dickey Betts and the Allman Brothers I am rediscovering Duane and the guitar work in the music of Allman Brothers as well and am enjoying music and guitar at a new level knowing what I am looking for in other artists and it is not just great music but great musicians and live performers like Jeff Beck or Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Great lesson, thanks
Very intuitive thinking. Great points.
Fantastic series
Good stuff, Jeff. I like these series of vids you have done recently.
Thanks Chris. Lots more on the way and I've got some twists I'll be adding to some too.
The Allman bros completely transformed the way I play major blues. For a long time I was more comfortable playing minor blues, but ever since I started studying Allman bros, now I prefer to play major.
Thank you.
They tell a story with their music. If there is a mood or experience worth relating, music can be the method to communicate it.
Awesome vid. Thanks! Been loving the ABB since early 70s; aka Filmore East 👍. Never saw Duane, but Dickey covered for him and was always amazing.
Whatever backing track you do next is fine with me ! I can see we have the same taste!
I have read, Carlos Santana liked the follow the saxophone line.
I just read, Dickey Betts said that Duane Allman was following the harmonica line, he was playing the slide inspired by the harmonica's ability to bend notes.
I remember getting the Live at Fillmore albums all those years ago. I didn't listen to anything else for months. My maternal Grandmother's name was Elizabeth Reed and the local FM station played that song while I was driving to the cemetery the day she was buried. I called the station later and asked if it was a request and they said no, the DJ just wanted to play it. That was 1975 and I don't remember ever hearing that song on that station any other time.
THANK YOU!
No prob Bill!
Duane was on another level
I get all the Betts love he owned his playing too
But Duane’s At Fillmore East WP solo and after the drum break on Mountain Jam
Is the most epic emotional guitar work I’ve ever heard
Also not spoken about to much
Is the Full
On Duane Led cover of his and Derek and Dominos Jimi cover of Little Wing
He created late 70s ballad rock before it existed with the solos
Don't forget Duane's solo on Liz Reed. Dickey knocks it out of the park and Duane runs after it and catches it.
Great video! Keep em' up! One of my favorite bands! You should make some more backing tracks!
Thanks! Will do, it's been awhile since I've made an AAB track.
Would love to see one of these for David Gilmour! Really appreciate these videos, cheers!
I asked those 2 blonde guys from 'Hourglass' how he played that riff from Happenings ten years time ago with one hand! He said, just wiggle it with some volume, electric guitar can do that! I saw them the next morning after a 4am after hours @ Hullabaloo on Sunset & Vine St
Aloha..thanks for da memories Man!
Love the B&G guitar w the P90s. Great investment.
That's a cool guitar you got there, yeah, the Allman brothers are truly great, next level
It was always about the music! You’re correct to say Duane’s ego was set aside, that is rare in the music industry, very rare. It wasn’t Duane vs Dickey or Jaimoe vs Butch. They knew their craft and would “lay it down” with power and passion became that’s who they were! Duane’s session work is a testimony to letting his guitar speak for himself. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
BEST F-CKING BAND EVER! EVER!!!
Love the sound from your guitar...it's playing with big ears..and not being ego in a band
Big ears, not big ego! I like that!
Nice B&G, I love my little sister.
Thank You
My favorite study is slide guitar.
I got to meet Derek Trucks in the late 90s he was a baby. But he was tearing it up with the Derek Trucks Band
Derek Trucks Band is definitely my favorite out of all the bands he's been in. Such a unique sound and you can't go wrong with Mike Mattison on vocals.
@@JeffWilliamsGuitar
I never get tired of playing slide to 'Midnight in Harlem' with your backtrack..
Thank you
Love these videos man watched all of them so far. One on Jimmy Herring would be sweet if your a fan of him✌️ he’s a beast of a player .
I started playing guitar in 1990 my dad taught me three chords
Fillmore Tapes taught me the rest
This was pre internet times
So Duane and Dickey taught me more than anyone
Great points you make here. A contemporary band that I think has reached the incredible level the Allman Brothers Band got to is the Tedeschi Trucks Band, and that has everything to do with great players leaving their egos behind. It's the only way.
Don’t forget about Dangerous Dan. Nice video 👍
I have see Allman Brothers 8 times 6 at Red Rocks. A couple with Woody and Dicky. The rest with Derick they all was kill it!
Really good video, Jeff! I used to teach English as a second language and would use guitar playing as an analogy. If you just go to your lesson once a week and leave the guitar in the corner, how long will it take you to learn to play? The same thing with languages. Having the time is important, but so is recognizing that you need to make the time. Given his ability, I have no doubt that Duane was constantly playing. My guitars are hanging in my living room where I can't avoid them and I'm constantly practicing. I only bought my Epiphone 8 months ago and decided to learn Blue Sky as my first electric song. I am about 5 measures away from having Duane's solo down pat and I'm amazed at how he constantly uses such a small range of notes, yet how complex it is at the same time. Dickey is equally amazing but isn't all country. He wrote Jessica as an attempt to play with two fingers à la Django Reinhardt and held his own pretty damn well. Anyway, as a novice on electric, Blue Sky has taught me slides, hammers, pulls, double stops, hybrid picking, bends, and that when sitting I need to hold the guitar on my left leg. Can't get to the high notes otherwise. Anyway, long comment to say that this was a great video with lots of important things to note.
Wow wish you would play the whole song ..Tease
Nice guitar, looks like P90s, semi hollow, and interesting headstock.
Thanks. It’s a B&G Little Sister Crossroads: bit.ly/jwcrossroads
If you love these kinds of double leads, please check out Wishbone Ash. Especially from "there’s the rub', on. Phenomenal double lead work from both Laurie Wisefield & Andy Powell. My favorite group, next to the Allman Brothers.
Hell yeah they are very underrated
Alot of opinions on the four great guitarists in this band, all of which are some of the best of all time. It's hard to compare, which is really not the long view. All were/are among the best, and seeing and hearing any of the combinations of this band leaves one just plain thankful we can see and hear. For me, I've seen every variation of this bands guitarists, even those we dont associate w ABB, except Duane and Dickie. I can only imagine. Dickie and Warren were great, Warren and Dereck are great, but some how I feel Duane and Dickie captured something the others couldn't. They had that that hunger of a new bandmates forging their future. That growth at the very beginning sets them apart IMHO. God bless the ABB, never to be duplicates again.
One Way Out...
The reason why I bought my first Allman brothers album
Damn I think I saw Derek for the first time at the same show. Maybe it was little earlier, but same experience. Was just thinking about it earlier today. I remember the bass player was young and blew my hair back and little blonde Derek ripping the lights out.
Dude.... Play what you want to play and you will play a lot better. Love that! The focus on gear has bit me several times over, not gonna lie, gotta focus on playing and honing the skill and not be a clone, find my style and jam on......
Dude you look like frank zappa and nice lovely vid btw!
I actually laughed out loud when you said how he got good so fast was... he played all the time.
Uuuuuhhhh, how to be AWESOME!!
When in doubt, lean on the minor third
I've always been fascinated by the similarities and differences between the Allmans and the Doobies. I believe they admired but avoided copying one another.
Derek's heart comes out through his playing. I think that Dwayne's heart came out too. That is why their interpretation is different.
I wish so bad we could have seen what Duane would have become had he been able to keep rollin
I am so loving this video I found the ABB later in life an never saw them live. I lived on NJ near the Capital Theater in the years they played there. But didn't know about them at all I was 35 when I was turned onto them. I picked up my guitar again and it blew my mind my friends told me so many stories, like tripping in NYC st Central Park heard this music couldn't find were it was coming from, he was in Jumior High at the time then found were it was coming the ABB practicing before there absolute killer Nights at the Philmore East theycwere practicing in Central Park before thr concert he never heard 9f thrm at that point he was hooked from thrn on. What a story if you heard him tell it. I to am hooked listen almost daily hours at a time I l9ve singing with them plsyen with them it's what helps me forget the BS going on ya know their greatest gift is that to me. They over come the BS of this drama life that's not what ai want its thr music the joy the peace these fellas gives me today. Dicky playrn in Germany the intro to One Way Out, in my opinion he rocked it the best ever possible that night.
long live Skydog
Hahah. That was my first time hearing derek as well and in the same venue.
I remember being on the lawn and seeing him on the big screen and thinking 'who the hell is this kid! So incredible.'
Learn from Jazz as Duane and Dickey did.
Didn't they favor a 6 note scale without the 7th?
Yes, sometimes called the major hexatonic which is basically the major pentatonic plus the 4th added in. I guess you could also call it the major scale without the 7th but it helps me to think it terms of how it relates to the pentatonic since we're all so familiar with it.
Found this video with my 1931 National duolian in my lap😜
Yes Duane would get the spotlight but in an age of egotistical guitar gods he was a humble person known to introduce Dickey as the better guitarist.
Don’t ride through traffic lights even at green.
yt is moody today
The tragedies of AAB, beyond the losses of Dwayne and Berry, were mostly self-inflicted. Typical rock-&-roll excesses...
The biggest thing I learned from the allmans was I should be listening to the dead . WEIR EVERYWHERE
Duane Allman was way, way better than Clapton.
ANY GUITARIST can TRY to learn how to play like duane! HOWEVER any attempt will show the ABSOLUTE futility in such a foolish notion!
