    Another textbook riff clearly explained. Makes a great warm-up lick to boot. Thanks again for yet another key to the kingdom!

    One of the best channels. Thank you. Those 12 essential licks were a definite insight into Duane’s playing. And for some reason he doesn’t get the play of the other guitar greats, though he is obviously one of them.

    Been listening to a lot of Larry Collins. I think Duane he may have been an inspiration to Duane, including this lick. Check out the 1st 30 seconds of the 'The Collins Kids & the Ragtime Wranglers - The Rocking Gypsy' video on the rockandrollguitar channel.

    Great video! Your tone is really incredible. It must be a great feeling to be able to sound and play like that. And I think you’re right about Duane. Although he wasn’t a classically trained musician, or a heavy jazz guy as you say, he was still a dedicated instrumentalist by all means, with a ton of studio experience, and also seriously into Miles & Coltrane and that kind of stuff. He was definitely aware of certain technical concepts and melodic behaviours.

    Hi Willie and a million thanks for doing this lesson regardless of the time it took! Thanks to this I'm well on my way to nailing this lick as I'm aware now of the mistakes I was making on my own- I was hitting the open G and D strings instead of pulling off with my first finger, as a result I couldn't get the timing down right! Once again, many thanks for getting around to it! As an aside I became a Duaneaholic when I saw the ABB at the Fillmore East in June '71, the only time I saw the original band. Needless to say, it was a spiritual experience!
    P.S. I've seen the videos of your band Skydog and your playing and that of the band is awesome! Your Duane and Dickey chops are spot on! ;) I'm looking forward to your next Duane or Dickey lesson as always!

    Just getting started on your ABB lessons, and they're pretty wonderful. For another learning aid, be sure to check out tomsaito, a Japanese ABB fan. He covers this solo as well as several other Duane solos from the Fillmore East album. ruclips.net/video/NnZqcYcztKw/видео.html. Like you, he doesn't just play the notes. He pays great attention to the nuances and intricacies that make these solos so amazing. Keep it up! Edit: Thanks for pointing out that Whipping Post is in A major. So few people realize that. Just about every "instructional" WP video on FB is in the incorrect key of A minor. Bravo!

    Hello. Can you please do a slide licks vid for Duane? I’m trying to learn the slide parts on “Goin Upstairs” with Sam Samudio and Duane on Anthology 2 and others of that type. Thanks

      - XxJimmyPagexX - hey thanks for the comment! The closest thing I’ve got is this video in Statesboro blues. But you should be able to get quite a few licks off of this one. I’ll try to work up a more generic “Duane Allman slide licks” video soon. Thanks. ~VW

      @Arthur Schnapka oh i believe you're correct. Steve Gaines gets songwriting credit for that one. My bad.
      I do love JJ though. I want to be just like him if I ever grow up.

      Thomas Delderfield-king hi Thomas thanks for the comment. The Hey Jude solo is basically a bunch of “tri-pull” licks combined with some BB King style bends. Check out the first lick in this video. ruclips.net/video/cfeaRuxcAHI/видео.html

    Awesome...Great Playing and Figuring it Out....But Duane and Dickey were just doin' what Felt Right....They had no Idea about scales,dorian, anti dorian, whatever..... They just learned Old School....If it feels right...Do It....But Great Lesson

    • @VirtualWoodshed
      @VirtualWoodshed  4 года назад +3

      Art Hynes thanks man! But actually, I think the guys did know about that stuff. They weren’t heavy jazz guys by any means, but they certainly knew about major, minor, and the basic modes, etc. Duane hung around some pretty heavy studio cats in muscle Shoals and he learned a lot of that stuff from guys like Barry Beckett and David Hood. I got that on good authority from Lee Roy Parnell who’s a close friend. And Dickey has said on multiple occasions that his favorite warm-up exercise is running through all the scales. They might’ve been Florida crackers, but they were *educated* Florida crackers. LOL. Eat a peach my friend! 🍑

    • @VirtualWoodshed
      @VirtualWoodshed  4 года назад +3

      Art Hynes In fairness though, they certainly weren’t thinking about any theory when they were soloing in the heat of the moment. Charlie Parker said it best: “You've got to learn your instrument. Then, you practice, practice, practice. And then, when you finally get up there on the bandstand, forget all that and just wail.” And that’s exactly what Duane and Dickey did. Now Gregg on the other hand, he didn’t know any of that shit! 😂

    • @blaborde
      @blaborde 4 года назад +2

      VirtualWoodshed I agree. They did know their stuff, maybe not academically, but they knew their scales and modes and practiced them obsessively. And that’s exactly why their music sounded the way it did and why so many of us watch these videos wanting to learn every solo note for note.
      Duane, and by extension Dickey, was obsessed with Coltrane and, especially the period when he and Miles Davis were inventing modal jazz, exemplified by the Miles Davis Kind of Blue album. Biographies of Duane and ABB recount stories of Duane repeatedly playing Kind of Blue for the rest of the band at the Big House.
      Duane’s obsession with Coltrane shows in the way several of the early ABB songs were constructed, similar to the modal sketches from Kind of Blue in which each soloist was given a set of scales on which to construct their improvisations and the song
      as a whole as opposed to building the some from a chord progression. Juici Carter’s appearances on the March 12 Fillmore shows playing soprano sax is another example. Duane also wanted to do a jazz album with his close friend great r&b sax great, King Curtis, is another example (unfortunately Curtis was killed when he tried to shoo away a drug dealer hanging out in front of his apartment before this album could be recorded).
      What Duane and Coltrane had most in common was a love of their respective instruments and the joy they both took in practicing scales, modes and improvisational models for hours on end day after day. Duane was able to infect Dickey with almost the same passion and obsessiveness.
