    A sad 60 year purcussionist, just found out Dickey passed, I guess I am not with it anymore.
    Seen Dickey 14 shows, 2 were private. Got to get to know each other. Out of all my rock guitar giants.
    Dickies melodic riffs touched my heart, one of my bands SILAS GREEN, Was one of my favorite families
    We played southern rock and blues
    Joey, ( chewy) played Betts to the T, when I do copy I believe it should be EXACTLY THE WAY THEY PLAYED IT.
    ON your music that's where you're style shines.
    My friend RIP the LORD has a stage on a grassy hill just for DICKEY BETTS, 55+ Years always an Allman Brothers band follower.

    Dickey Betts is without question one of my biggest influences, my first band was an Allman Brother cover band. So to see this lesson and tribute on your Wide Sky is amazing and bittersweet. Great lesson as always!

    Dickey Betts was a legend... In my opinion a great guitarist, musician or band has a sound unique unto them. Dickey had that in spades. Plus he was just a badass outlaw kind of guy they don't make anymore. RIP

    I grew up and attended High School in Atlanta in 69-73, when Alman Bros. would jam & practice at Piedmont Park.
    Those were the days. Easy living, excellent music.
    Thanks, Brian. You really nailed it!

      I grew up in JAx and was studying for my Bar Mitzvah in the synagogue (now converted to condos) across the street from the house where the band first got together. A few years later, my garage band was mostly AB stuff.

    Absolute best guitar instructor on YT. If you like this way of instruction and dig this style of guitar, check out his website. I subscribed a few weeks ago and already have improved by leaps and bounds. I was so hoping Brian would do a Dicket Betts style lesson. RIP Mr. Betts. Thank you for this!

    Excellent video. You really capture the Dickey Betts sound, thank you for compiling this info. The timing you mention at 10:30 isn’t really “playing ahead of the beat”, but rather a “3 on 2” pattern, that gives it that feel. That is: Dickey is playing a perfectly-timed 2 notes for every 3 beats.

    Just wanted to add...
    Btw folks, I've started using VLC's record feature to break these lessons into small blocks ( I download them first as mpgs. )...saves searching for the same spots over and over, plus his method of teaching is perfectly suited to this. I end up with a folder of around 8 chunks that make up the whole lesson. Just a quirk of mine, but I find it much easier in the end, and can easily go back over spots i need to work on. Also the fact that Brian starts over from the beginning many times during a lesson is a huge help keeping it all in context. Many web teachers don't do this nearly enough. As usual Brian, a big thanks.
