What impressed me at his age wasn't the improve..it was when he choose the key of D over E for this song..when I was his age I could noodle out a lead but had no idea what key even meant lol

Thank you God for this posting. I’m 84 now and never saw this. Rock and roll at its finest. Generational talent. The Bramlett ladies raise any roof!! Never forget.

Derek was literally playing a sloppy blues sky at one time. Maybe a tip of hat to dickey since dickey opened bluesky with tower after jerry died

Is that the same guitar hes playing today? Crazy

Hey! Where’s the credit for Bekka showing up and singing with her mom?

Derek Trucks huh? I'm thinking one day he'll be a star.

Saw him in Dallas opening for Joe Satriani in 1998! Didn’t know him and didn’t put it together as to who his dad was. He blew my mind that night. Been a fan ever since.

SMOOOOKIN !!!!!!!’

D $)&&’mnmm WOW 13 ????????

Derek played around Atlanta during this period. He loved baseball.

He had the same expression on his face even then, if you could call it that.

The guy with the rooster haircut and red shirt is the late, great Greg Baril. He was apparently a great influence on Derek during their time in Jacksonville.

I’m love this, Mr Derek is the best in my opinion of any recorded history , there’s so many greats musicians on their guitar 🎸, just wonderful,and then there’s DEREK TRUCKS AND HE IS A LEGEND AND NO ONE HAS HIS UNIQUE STYLE, HE IS SO UNIQUE, HUMBLE,GRACIOUS AND RESPECTFUL 🎸🎸🎸 Thanks for rounding up this fantastic footage of that tow head & his SG 🙏🙏🙏 what a treat

Ok … I quit playing guitar

Plays the same guitar today, awesomely! 💙🎶🎵

寂しい夜のギターは無限に聴いていたい

He's now the best in the world.

Thanks for sharing Even then he made the whole band sound better great players don’t show off they elevate the whole band

The firt Minutes if he play, says all... He was born in Musicanes Family,, alle aroun iflusants full of Music... Sorry my bad English....

When your dad is in one of the biggest bands in the world you get introduced into music at a young age

Was lucky enough to see him play with the Allman Brothers that summer in Toronto. Eye opener indeed.

Derek did not need the other two guitarists up there. His precise unreal tone and playing were enough for this tune. I would rather here his guitar with the bass player and drummer then those other two boring pasterurized blokes that needed to sit that one out!

❤❤❤

Saw him about 4 years later in a Wings Plus restaurant. Played like a pro! Amazing.

We all gotta start somewhere! I played my first professional gig at age 14, in 1982.. lol.. Made $80, and thought I couldn’t come down from the high, for 24Hrs.. haha.. He was obviously very talented already, was smoother the Elliot… :)

This young bloke has a brilliant career waiting for him . Simply stunning

Lol. Grown arse adult saws into a kid and he” the kid” answers the call.

"That's just about as good as I've ever heard it..." B.B. King

Derek is totally Rocken the mullet…wonder if he’s still got the same SG..❤

Always looks at the neck even today

LOL! Tell my friends I'll be around?!!!

He is hopeless sorry

Will Lee ?

All those melted faces 😮

I’d pay to see Clapton’s reaction to this 🔥 of course Derek has toured with Clapton many times over the years

Saw him sit in with the ABB at 12.

This is tremendous!!

💪♥️🎸 COOL

The extra that some folks have is just great, the kid grew up to be a monster player, oh lordy lord did he ever !!

His comfortability with the entire neck at that age baffles me

That guy was born to do this

How many mullets does it take to turn on a Marshall ?

Whatever...

When you grow up around some of the greatest musicians in the Southern rock world,you get this at an early age.

He was lucky to have been born into a family of professional musicians who saw his talent ! He is like a national treasure developed by American artists

Oh, my. 2 adult guitar players who cannot manage an in-tune bend. Sorry, Elliott. I love your playing with the cars. But please never again cover a Robert Johnson tune. A generic rhythm section and singer. And a 13-year-old Derek Trucks (it the 1992 date is to be believed--Dereke looks much younger than 13). Derek was the lone adult musician on the stage. At the end when Elliot and the other bad blues guitar player are trading licks with Derek, both lean over Derek, apparently attempting to demonstrate their blues prowess. A calm, cool, child cuts the to their knees.

Saw him at a small bar in Mobile, Al. When he was maybe 12,13? The band had to push him up front to play. He was walking around before the show and I thought he was the kid of a band member. Nope, he was the star. Tore it up as you might suspect.

It don't get much better than this. Thanks for posting.

I seen him play at the junk yard in Orlando you just knew him was going to be big🤘🏻
