you are an excellent teacher. your style of lick by lick and bend by bend allows me to see it all very clearly. Just watching you lay down the solo was entertaining also. You are a very advanced player but you teach at a level that is not too advanced that it frustrates and not too slow that it gets boring. I am glad I found your youtube lepisodes. Thanks
This is great. Played this solo by ear for years. One thing, Dickey used the second string over the 1st for some of those bends. I start the bends on the B string up around the 12 fret. Less tendency to break a string and the bends sound thicker.
Excellent Jon! You are an excellent teacher and I'm quite certain... A GREAT Player! I will be following you going forward. I've seen the ABB or Dickey or The Greg Allman band probably at least seven times since 1981. It is so AWESOME to see a young guy such as yourself so into this foundational music as well as its "practitioners." I was able to acquire Greg Allman's Set List from the stage from a concert by his band in 2016 which included Stormy Monday. In all the times I've seen the ABB/Greg Allman that was the only time they ever played Stormy Monday. I've got all the right guitars and amps... Just need to practice and learn. You're SPOT ON with your interpretation of how the specific notes and lines are derived ... Others either play too much or miss the nuance. Luved this video! looking forward to practicing and learning more from you. Thanks again!
I don't know if I mentioned this it I'm old enough to have seen Duane play.....with Delaney and Bonnie and the brother's......they taught me how to play .......listened the the Fillmore album and taught myself all their licks......what an influence for a 17 year old guitar player......
John Pandolfino you and I are both lucky- I saw Duane and the Brothers at the Fillmore East, late show on 6-26-71. They played until 7am! Needless to say but it was a divine experience!
Great job! I'm A SUPER FAN of Dickey Betts! I cut my teeth on guitar by Dickey! He inspired me to play both because I loved his stryle, but because I liked him as a person! I played Duane Allman's 1959 cherry sunburst Les Paul thanks to Twigg's Lyndon the Allman Brothers road manager. I had been doing freelance writing for a few years. and I had gotten an interview with the "Dixie Dregg's" and Twiggs Lyndon was managing them, and before the show, I was able to interview the band. Just before the show Twiggs told me to come inside his equipment Cube-van, and once inside a special room inside, we talked about the Allman brothers, and suddenly he told me to reach under a bench seat and pull out a black coffin case, and I opened it up ........... there right in front of me was DUANE'S 1959 CHERRY SUNBURST!!! I ALMOST FAINTED!! I DIDN'T WANT TO TOUCH IT!! Twigg's said, "Hey don't be afraid man,, pick it up and play it"!!! And I did!!! I'll never forget that experience ever!!! There are pictures of the guitar online. Twiggs was told by Gregg Allman to remove all the frets. And Twiggs took some of the frets and attached them on the back of the guitar, and spelled out DUANE'S name!! That's how I proved my story about actually playing that guitar!!! Look for the guitar online!!!! Cheers~!~!~!~ Sonny.
Jon, Another quality, fun, and accurate lesson. Your musical ear is excellent, your passion really comes shining through, and you are very well-spoken. I appreciate your to-the-point, bite-sized instruction. I have not found many instructors with all your qualities.
Loved this so much I purchased your entire course and love it. Your enthusiasm and cross references to other icons and their licks is really priceless. Well played!
Thanks, Jon, for producing this whole series. As much as the whole brilliant ABB arrangement of Stormy Monday should be credited to Duane, Dickey's solo is searing in its simplicity. I've been waiting years for someone to break it down on UA-cam. Thank you!
Jon, thanks for this Ep34 and Ep25 as well. I dedicated a bit of time to learning both of these lessons; well worth the effort for sure! This second chorus adds an entire new dimension to the song. Thanks again!
Very solid technical breakdown…..and much appreciated! Unfortunately you missed the essence of what made Dickey and Duane for that matter unique and once in a generation talents. The tone is the magic, and that means the subtle pitch inflections as well as the harmonic quality of the notes. It’s all about semitones of accentuation that is where the mastery occurs…..and the goose bumps start. It’s missed by almost everybody who breaks down their work….but scale masters and note twiddlers are everywhere these days, tone masters are an exceptionally rate treat. Just my view….thanks again for the very accurate breakdown!
Just found your channel...this is great. Keep it coming. If you ever think about it in the moment, could you mention where certain licks are in the pentatonic patterns. I always find it valuable to know why certain spots on the neck work in any moment but I'm not good enough to always figure it out on my own. Thank you for the service that you provide us...greatly appreciated.
No just the FREE lessons on the channel right now. However I do have an ebook you can get for free about soloing in the description above. Hope it helps!
Hit that thumbs up if you like FREE education!
The greatest blues solo ever played!!!! Rip mr. Betts
Well done son.......one of the best solos by Dickey
Best lead lesson on line!!!!
Jon I love your style teaching these solos , just what I need to get my soloing down plus you gotta love the AB

Bravo John! Nothing like the Allman Brothers Dickey and Duane! The greatest guitar duo of all! Great job and thank you very much! ;)
