    RIP Dicky ❤ I learned so much from that dude. I use his licks all the time. Liz Reed is still my favorite tune 40 years later. Thanks Jack!

    Dickey's solo on "Jelly Jelly". So sweet! One of the greatest.

    JACK, try to make a Dickey Betts top 10 repeating motif licks he does often, the repeating motif note groupings patterns he uses to make a lesson about them. Watch a lot of live concerts of Dickey Betts and the great southerns concerts and albums also to find these repeating motif patterns he uses often

    I first saw Dickie in 1972 and first listen to the Allman Brothers in 1970 and Dickie remains one of my all-time favorite guitar players

    Tastefully done, Jack.
    The Alman Brothers were a fertile ground for so many others to grow from. They inspired, master-classed and innovated whilst they entertained and gave so much to their audiences.
    Dicky Betts - there will be no other.
    Great job as always, Jack. We're glad you're here. 😊

    The fact that Dickey Betts & Duane Allman existed in the same band is pretty insane. Thanks for this awesome lesson Jack! Exactly what I needed right now.

    Thanks, Jack. Dicky was my hero. Why?
    I went to high school in downtown Atlanta (69-73), and the whole band would often play at Piedmont Park. I fell in love with his guitar work then. It always sounded happy and kinda reminded me of Linus from the Peanuts cartoon. It just made me wanna dance!
    When I improvise these days, I often follow his direction with his scale and repeating (but slightly different) riffs. I didn't realize how much I did it until watching this video.
    I'll miss his music!
    I didn't know him personally, wish I did. I guess I should've approached him way back when.
    Thanks again, Jack!
    Glad you're taking up the mantle to teach his techniques.

    Amazing, another inspirational session. I love that horizontal move for the major pentatonic. An easy way to separate them from the minor pentatonic, this will help me to not mix them up. Also love that single chord backing track, more to practice.

    Thanks Jack…. That was a fantastic lesson…. Dickey really put 10 years of Southern Rock on the map…. Which really evolved into Modern Country.. Duane was a Blues Cat… Dickey was Country Blues and Swing…. Some incredible music..

  • @thelion27
    @thelion27 26 дней назад

    One of my all time favorite bands. Dickey had some country playing before ABB ... with Duane, their styles together were sonic wonder. Unbelievable how Dickey not only kept the band together but went on to be the only guitar after that tragedy. With all that jazz , blues and gospel and country plus modal rock... I never get bored with their music.

  • @jimshunamon2512
    @jimshunamon2512 26 дней назад

    Great vid Jack! Dickey was one of my earliest inspirations when I started playing back in the 70's. My brother gave me the Allman Brothers live at the Fillmore East and I wore that album out learning Dickey's lines. That live version of In Memory of Elizabeth Reed is a tune I still play at gigs today.
    RIP Dickey. Heaven is rockin' a little sweeter.

    I saw the Allman Brothers twice before Duane Allman left us. I saw the majority of the major guitar players
    during the late sixties and seventies. Duane Allman was by the superior player but Mr Betts was an incredible
    addition. That band was incredible.

    Excellent description. I’d also note that he phrased in 4s rather than the triplets typically used by blues-based players.

    @kevinhines3487 26 дней назад

    Thanks Jack, for posting this. I've been waiting for your take on Dickey. I encourage everyone to take a minute and listen to "Sail Away" from Enlighted Rogues. This tune means a lot to me and really encapsulates Dickey's style.

  • @michaelheller8841
    @michaelheller8841 26 дней назад +1

    To me Dickey Betts was the ABB sound no matter who was the lead guitarist and Dickey was also lead. The same can be said about Gary Rossington was the Skynyrd sound. I never knew the reason why Dickey left and I have seen ABB live so many times I can't even count them all. One thing I noticed? HIs missing sound.
    He will be missed for sure. I loved how Dickey played Southbound not mentioned as much as his other classics.

    1st time ever seeing ABB at their annual Beacon gig, I was expecting that pretty, melodic sound....
