Duane Allman Blue Sky isolated

  • Isolated lead guitar: Duane. Dickey didn't do dual leads here. This was done by another host--"Digital Split"--but it was taken down.
    I saved it. Most likely done through Audacity. There's a guy who plays with the Skydog band who can show you the licks on HIS site: www.virtualwood...
    Tom Dowd started the mixing process for Eat a Peach but had run into overtime and was called to commitments with Crosby, Stills and Nash; longtime Allman friend and colleague Johnny Sandlin took over for the remaining mixes. Sandlin later said of the mixing process, "As I mixed songs like 'Blue Sky,' I knew, of course, that I was listening to the last things that Duane ever played and there was just such a mix of beauty and sadness, knowing there's not going to be any more from him."
    I knew Johnny Sandlin and was in his home studio enough times--so I'm sorry he's no longer with us. But he would tell you "It's Duane."
    This is a popular version--and I'll make it available if you want via email: mdlop8@gmail.com.

    I play guitar and have tried to emulate Duane's solo here for years. Hard to put your finger on why his notes sound different, even if I play the same ones. Feel, cadence, timing, ability to bend so delicately, quickness/accuracy string to string. Man, he was one of a kind and just a kid. In one of the books I've read about the ABB, someone describes Duane as one of the two geniuses he ever knew. Just touched by the hand of God. I've been listening to Duane's solos for 50 years; my wife says "how can you listen to the same thing again and again?" I just smile and turn the volume up on whatever solo Skydog is playing...what a gift. Derek seems to be God's way of saying "my bad" for Duane and he is amazing; but there's only one Duane.

    Duane was playing his 59 Les Paul around this time, which explains some of why Duane sounds so unique and his tone. Basically what happened was Gibson engineers summoned a djinn and forever bound its soul to that guitar. Note how Duane can make the guitar "talk". It's the only scientific explanation.

Took me back almost 50 years to when I was thrown together with a handful of other adolescent boys to form a band to play in the Jr Hi talent show. Blue Sky was one of the songs we covered. Sometimes nostalgia is a misty breeze that leaves you wondering where it came from. Other times it hits you like a tsunami. I'm drowning, man.

Dickey also said that he and Duane decided that when they soloed Dickey would use the neck pickup and Duane would use the bridge pickup. 100% the first solo is Dickey and is used by the neck pup. When Duane comes in it's the bridge pickup. You do have to order backwards. Dickey sang the song live and even later played those lead licks as he sang.
