Not just that it's when music was timeless.. those recordings sound as great today as 50 years ago . Artists didn't just churn out music just to make it
@@matthewhaas3263 you will find the tone that one hears on this are almost always from a Gibson Les Paul. Most of the greats use/ used a Les Paul; Townesend, Duane, Dickey Betts, Page …….the list goes on. And, while David Gilmore plays a Fender he used a Les Paul on the iconic lead guitar in COMFORTABLY NUMB.
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.
Yeah Derek is absolutely a monster, everything he plays is perfect in the sense of such incredible soul and feel and improvisational beauty, but Duane definitely did it first, love them both
One of the most criminally underrated guitarists, and he's still a freaking legend,an all before the age of 25.. friggin amazing, what a gorgeous song this is 🤣
This tune has been with me nonstop for over 50 years. So much skydog beauty there, then Dicky kicks in. At the very end of the tune on Eat a Peach we hear "Very good." That has been with me forever!
Skydog is alive with us everyday. This piece of music is as good as it gets. Brother Duane Allman and his soft touch is captivating. Thanks for the track
Mesmerizingly beautiful. The touch, the tones, the note choices, the articulations….40 years of guitar playing and I keep circling around Duane like a comet around the sun.
DUANE WAS SO GREAT ,ITS SO SAD HE HAD TO LEAVE US. BUT THANKFULLY WE HAVE ALL HIS MUSIC HE PLAYED. I,ll ALWAYS SAY , HE WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITARIST EVER! MAN ,I MISS HIM AND GREG ( ONE OF THE GREATEST SINGERS EVER) . THE ENTIRE BAND, BARRY,JJ,BUTCH , AND OF COURSE,THE GREAT DICKY BETTS.THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND.🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶😎✌️BOB
Today I visited The Big House Allman Brothers Band Museum in Macon, GA. 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.
A few years ago, I walked through the Big House several times, for three hours, and felt like I didn’t spend enough time there when I left. To imagine the things those walls heard… a literal out of body experience.
I've loved this song, and solos, as among my favorites for 50 years, but never had the chance to hear Duane's contribution in solo. Thanks so much for posting this. Truly soothes my sole every time I hear it. Now I've heard the best. Thanks!
So happy to find this, something about his playing touches me more that any one else. As someone said in an earlier comment “expresses emotion with notes” like no other. Heard him play once before he died. My favorite.
On some days this is my favorite guitar solo....The first time I heard it, I had to know who it was...it makes me happy...the ability to display emotion with notes instead of words is how I describe Duanes and Derek Trucks playing..."Blue Sky" is also my nickname for my Wife...that chorus 🥰
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.
WHEN DUANE KICKS ON THAT FUZZ FACE IT ALL COMES OUT THRU HIS FINGERS. SO SAD THAT HE HAD TO GO.HE WAS TRULY ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITARIST EVER. HE THOUGHT AHEAD OF ALL THE OTHERS ( LIKE JIMI DID) THINKING OF THE OPENING RIFF TO LAYLA. ENOUGH SAD ,THAT TELLS IT ALL.🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶✌️😎BOB
Duane's solo is just a guitar into an amp. Compared to the little production things they did for the sound of the record (it's on Eat a Peach), this guitar is stripped down with quiet background accompaniment, but you can hear his power and authority on this solo--it almost is a shock, because it is so naked and exposed, but with complete confidence. Wonder how much he thought it out beforehand. Probably at least a part of it. Wow. Sounds like they did this entire song from start to finish. Playing when the record button is on is not easy to do either.
The solo is without compare, but this isolation makes you realize how fantastic his rhythm guitar was as well. He plays each E/A Betts solo measures with a slightly different feel.
There are some bars that have dual leads. Between V 1&2 and I think after V 2. Have to check that. Both guitarists were exceptionally talented. Their styles complemented one another's well. Woderful touch. The AB had a sound that has yet to sound dated. Interesting to compare versions of the live songs. For example, Duanes leads on Stormy Monday, Fillmore vs. SUNY.
Wow...fing Duane Allman was absolutely one of the greatest guitar players of all time , Hendrix,Clapton, Page,Beck, all of them, if people don't realize he was on a whole different level from all those dudes, as great as they were, DA was so much more soulfull ,and intensely musical, and dialed in from an artistic standpoint,...I just absolutely love him as an artist, he was so cool, and to look back and imagine what he would have became...
love the early allman bros, im sorry but i never got why there was a dicky, very good guitarist but i would of rather heard what duane would of played in his absence
Actually my friend @Wooly564 is correct. Dickey even said he took the first solo. Duane played more of the rhythm parts on this song. 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. Dickey said all of this in interviews and in the book "One Way Out".@@MDLOP8
I prefer Duane's solo over Dickey's on this version but in the version from Stonybrook I prefer Dickey's. The Stonybrook version of this song is incredible
What this man accomplished by age 24 is incredible. Sky dog, you are missed.
Very well said. One of the top 3 rock guitarists of all time in my own opinion.
"MELODY" A forgotten gift amongst modern pentatonic speed scale freaks 😊
Not just that it's when music was timeless.. those recordings sound as great today as 50 years ago . Artists didn't just churn out music just to make it
Beautifully said!!
This is like the most beautiful lullaby for guitar aficionado’s. His tone is second to none. It almost brings tears to my eyes.
Incredible tone!!! Possibly my favorite of all time.
@@InTonalHarmony I've been addicted ever since I first heard it. There's one with Dickey & Duane doing this that's even better.
Idk much about tones but I want this song played at my funeral

by derek, you mean Derek Trucks?
@@sidtom2741 Yes
No words. The incomparable Duane Allman. Rest in peace brother Duane(Skydog). We will never see the likes of you again.
I get chills during the solo. Those bends are indescribable. Nobody can hold a note like Skydog.
One of the most criminally underrated guitarists, and he's still a freaking legend,an all before the age of 25.. friggin amazing, what a gorgeous song this is 🤣
Mr. Betts rocks too. What a blessing they made music together.
There was nothing like watching them trade licks.
Greatest guitar player there ever was!
RIP Dickey 😢
This is excellent..Man when i was learning this tune or any tune we had to hear the record a million times...
This tune has been with me nonstop for over 50 years. So much skydog beauty there, then Dicky kicks in. At the very end of the tune on Eat a Peach we hear "Very good." That has been with me forever!

Duane Allman’s guitar playing was just Absolutely Beautiful ! 👌🏼
These two youngsters, creating the most beautiful of harmonies with their guitars. I just can't imagine what could have been...
I get chills w those bends.
This is just gold...
I love how depending on his attack, is all that’s necessary to make the tone go from clean to crunchy in a split second 🥴🫠 .
The most beautiful guitar ever..forever my favorite song

All played in same take, working his volume and toggle on guitar! His feel, timing, and way he came off his notes was purely second to none.
So happy to find this, something about his playing touches me more that any one else. As someone said in an earlier comment “expresses emotion with notes” like no other. Heard him play once before he died. My favorite.
This was posted on my birthday!
Thank you! ❤
My favorite song.
Beautiful take. My god that is emotional. Truly deep and for forever. And the Road Goes on forever. 😊
Absolutely beautiful sound. Can and do listen on repeat
That is incredible, thank you for isolating this moment of musical genius and beauty.
That little lick at 2:13 always fucken makes my soul cry. RIP Duane 💪🏼
There is also someone else there who is no longer with us although he is buried in the mix on this: Berry Oakley.
One of the best and gone too soon, wish he could have lived so I could have seen him live.
I wish you could have seen him too. The most natural sounding guitar player I ever heard.
This is heaven
Pure Genius ….. How did he do it …. at such a young age 😮!!!
Spectacular ❤
The last 30 seconds is magic.
Remember first time i heard this song was blown away basically one long ass epic solo. And that tone
Galloping melody is a gift of few.
Got the front pick up on that warm tone or as Clapton calls it ‘the woman tone.’
This is fantastic and revelatory! Thank you for sharing it.
Incredible. My fav song.
it's like the lullaby of my life
Awesome. Thank you sir
Self taught genius
So damn fine and then some. Thanks for sharing.
The GOAT. RIP sky dog
Thanks for reloading this incredible piece. I missed it.
Thanks for sharing this for the rest of the world!🙏🙏🙏
God himself was in that studio with Dwayne and Dickey that day.
Best solo ever👍
Very good work here and very interesting to guitar players.
OUT OF THIS WORLD!😍😍😍

Holy shit that’s beautiful
Omg only if Duane and Jimi were alive the music they would have created 😊
Damn. Just damn.
goosebumps
What.A.Tone.
And don’t forget…he did everything he would ever do by the age of just 24.

Agree the distortion adds so much. But I think it’s natural, using just the beautiful sound of valve amp turned up full . Doubt he used a fuzz face?
This is just frickin magical!

Duane Allman was the MAN
Beautiful
Great Performance🎸
If you are able to take a request. I’d love to hear the isolated solo guitar track of Duane Allman on Hey Jude w Wilson Pickett
hendrixfreak@yahoo.com is the guy you want--but he will do 10 songs for $20.
Isolate Dickie too 😊
Well...I didn't create it BUT... ua-cam.com/video/E9KUv5SFLDA/v-deo.html or ua-cam.com/video/K6ZtDSZnFHc/v-deo.html

1:15: so fluid...lanquid.
Amazing! Thank you so much for re-uploading!! What happened to the original video?
Image issues....
Wish he coulda taught Trucks about timing and how to play slide before he died.
If you’re implying that Derek Trucks isn’t the best slide player of all time, you’re insane imho
@@bobthabuilda1525 Trucks has talent but sometimes he sounds like a mosquito waiting to get swatted.
Nobody can touch him!
Wow...fing Duane Allman was absolutely one of the greatest guitar players of all time , Hendrix,Clapton, Page,Beck, all of them, if people don't realize he was on a whole different level from all those dudes, as great as they were, DA was so much more soulfull ,and intensely musical, and dialed in from an artistic standpoint,...I just absolutely love him as an artist, he was so cool, and to look back and imagine what he would have became...
@@larrycourtney8893 , to me, Duane and Page had the best experiences and skills from learning their chops as studio players in their careers.
@@MDLOP8 Yeah, he was just unbelievable really, such an amazing player.
Incrível
One thing that blows my mind is people's inability to notice that it's "Duane", not "Dwayne".....
I think you might be focusing on the wrong aspects of life. Take care, brother.
I knew his brother Gregg and he pronounced it “Dwayne”. It’s just the accent.
Love you Dwayne..... Even though we never met you played your way into my heart rest in peace my brother I am so sorry for your loss
love the early allman bros, im sorry but i never got why there was a dicky, very good guitarist but i would of rather heard what duane would of played in his absence
@starflash08 , understand that Duane was universal in his outlook of life. He needed brothers to share his vision. Dickey gave that to him on guitar.
@@MDLOP8 Greg never understood why dicky was there either
@@starflash08 , fair enough. One brother's vision was different than the other.
So is it Dickie's cherry '61 SG or Hot Lanta?
Thats a 24 years old if I ever seen one
Is this played on Les Paul or on an SG? Thank you
I think it's a fair bet that Duane had long since given up his SG by this time.
duane's a LP and dickey's an SG
@@joerockhead3665 I think Dickey is playing goldie not his SG
Ok
🇧🇷❤️
🙇🏻♂️
🍑🎸❤️
First solo was Dicky's...2nd one was Duane's....this is backwards. Still nice....so glad they found each other.
Sorry for your error, but EVERYONE knows Duane took the first solo. Well, ALMOST everyone.
If you ever heard either of them play this is without a doubt Duane. Duane and Dickie don’t even sound close, maybe to the untrained ear.
