A Master of Smooth vs "Flash" & showing off. Thanks Tom 👍
Rest in Peace DB ✝️🕊️
I hear so many players that make fun of pentatonic scales. Or think you have to play a different scale over each chord change . Dickey kept things simple and was great blues rock player .
I will always think of him and BB when I solo in Major
Lost Duane Eddy 3 days ago too. Legends that both leave a huge legacy between them. Thanks for this, I needed simplicity :)
Had no idea. :(
Duane Allman: "Eric Clapton ain't got nothin; on ol' Dickie Betts."
Can't find it right now but, I read this quote in one of DB's online obits. RIP legend.
PS - I think Betts deserved a separate individual RRHoF for his instrumental compositions alone.
Eric Clapton has something on every other player. That said, Dicky was legendary.
I am not absolutely certain but I think Duane's comment was, Clapton is great but he's no Dickey Betts.
Clapton is overrated compared to several players and is not in the same class as Dickey Betts.
@BCe: Clapton is an icon & imho deservedly so - three solos: Crossroads, Badge, & Had To Cry Today - that said, is also the most overrated guitarist in Rock history.
I hate that it took Dickey's passing for people (not you) for Dickey to get his due. Not that he was not recognized for his gorgeous playing, but Duane's legend status and early death just seemed to overshadow Dickey with the uninformed. Loved Dickey's playing AND singing. That the Allman's had 2 amazing players in one band...well, it still blows my mind listening to them. RIP with your Brothers at Rose Hill, Dickey,
I have ALWAYS loved Dickey’s approach. I spend a lot of time trying to develop his style
Had a friend ( who passed himself ) who would go to every DB show anywhere near our area with a small group who were like minded … they apparently got to know Dickey some ,and would record the shows and hang with him occasionally…one of the stories he told me “in secret” was one of the guys in this group was asked and found some blow for dickey many yrs back…. I don’t know how accurate this is , but the friend i heard it from wasnt one for making stuff up and was hesitant to even tell me … though its 3rd hand info i found it interesting and amusing ✌️
Hey Tom, I appreciate your passion and dedication for the Southern rock legendary bands that we all were lucky to have in our lives,
I have always liked learning and applying all the Southern rock guitar players phasing, muting, picking tricks, and bending techniques in my own solos and improvisation.
That style always felt natural to me, even though I’m from the Northeast. The Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Outlaws, Molly Hatchet, ZZ Top, Blackfoot, 38 Special and especially Stevie Ray Vaughan, were huge influences on me as a guitarist.
I’ll be 61 years old tomorrow May 3, and still love to play. I started playing guitar at nine years old which was in 1972 with a secondhand $25 guitar. I began to learning southern rock song parts and solos by age of 10 and started playing in my first band by age 12.
The whole point to this story is It’s been a 52 years and it goes by super fast. Don’t ever give up what’s your love and enjoy. Thanks again for your content.
Tom you got his sound down excellent ! Your awesome as always.. greetings from Conway SC! Btw
Yessss, I was just about to see if you would make a video on him. RIP, he was a legend. Huge fan of your channel, keep up the great videos
I watch your golf channel. Had no idea you had a guitar channel. 🎉
Hey man the more techniques and riffs and other things you teach. The better I get. And I know there's many more out there. Doing the same. Keep em coming.
Sublime better describes the simplicity of it all , also tone and his wonderful expression which isn't simple! Great stuff man
You aren't half bad your self young man. Dickey was my favorite style player
Nicely done! Thank you.
Really cool lesson
So killer! Thanks Tom!
Excellent video again Tom!!
Tom - thanks for helping me slow the hell down. You are helping me realize I have more chops than I think I do. - I already know allot of this - but damn! Having someone break down one of my fav, most melodic players… invaluable my friend. Keep kicking it, you have no idea how much this helps young guitarists, and old ones like me, realize where the true gold is brother…. Soul does not require shred or speed… the inverse is true. Damn 🙏🎸
I've seen him live several times in the 80's... While he was still in his prime. He is one of my "Obvious" guitar heros.
Awesome vid love dickey betts R.I.P dickey betts.
Gotta love it...👍🎸
Great Video! The more the merrier 🎸
No way! Guitar too? Awesome dude!
Dicky Betts and Ed King are very similar in their greatness and simplicity
Dickey was unmistakable i dont car how far you stoof from his music but you could tell it was him warren Derick Trucks to them guys got it down, there has been a tear in my eye for every member of them true ledgons so glad i lived in this era of time and music thank you for your lesson iv been playing the exzact same riffs and developing my own styl thanks to you all
Crispy!!
Duane's tone was the main distinction (aside from the slide playing).
They essentially played the same notes, with the same feel.
Love that sliding lick...Skynyrd (Gary) plays that on solo in T For Texas!!!
Tom You Do Rock!
Dickey played mandolin and then guitar in the family country band...later got into Davis and Coltrane...and turned Duane onto them/jazz.
(Like surfing on a surfboard) 😆 Is there anything better than guitars and golf? Thanks for that insight. Love that guitar, it’s just like mine.
Hey, Tom! Good to see ya back here!
Didn't your say awhile back that you were going to be playing with a band? Howzat goin'?
I think i see an improvement in your playing, your meter is much better, like i knew it would be. You're a fantastic guitar player, that was the only thing i noticed that could really improve, lol. Playing with a band will certainly have that effect on anyone!
Anyway, i wanted to point out that Dickie played a lot of Major pentatonic, but he added the 4th interval. To me, it sounds happy, yet still "blues-y" and that's one of the things i liked about his music. He 2as my hero , too ("Jessica," & others.)
His nusic reminded me of the Peanuts kid that plays piannee, i think his name is Linus.
It just makes you feel good, and ya wanna get up & dance!
Back in high school (69-73), i went to school in Atlanta, and he and the rest of the Allman Bros would play at Piedmont Park. I think they were "practicing," but it was basically a free concert, and they would just jam for hours! It was great. Anywhere was a great "seat," just layin' back in the grass, tokin' on a doobie!
I wish I'd had the sense to approach him, or any of the guys, and get to know them. But i hadn't started playing just yet, it was a couple years after when i started. Who knows, if I'd gotten to know them early on, my whole life coulda gone different, because i got pretty good really fast! Oh, well. Alas....
(Then, after playing for about 10 years, when i met the woman who would become my wife, i abruptly stopped playing for 30+ years--all because of a miscommunication between us!
The good part is that i did eventually start back, just shy of 2 yrs ago, because i still had music in my head all those years that wanted to get out!)
Anyway, great to seeya in the video, hope everything is going well for ya!
👌 👍 🤪
I found your guitar tone quite harsh but appreciated your Dickey technique. I can, and will, use it!
Whoa am i having an acid flash back of some sort? The guy who i get golf tips from on youtube is now a guy i can get guitar tips from too ….? 👍🏼🤘🏼✌️😬
I both suck and love each …so it seems tom teachings were meant for me lol✌️
Jezzuz you are a guitar savant too? My mind is blown.
Love the content, more Duane Allman content too!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Soundings great . Loved him since middle school. ❤ thank you
Great Video Tom. How have you been doing man? Let's get together soon and play some Skynyrd and Southern Rock.
Dude! I watch your golf videos! Do you keep your right elbow tucked for maximum picking speed?😂. Golf and guitar are also my passions in life!!
Love your golf swing !!! And now guitar??? What's not to like
Tom Saguto, you're all like "Ooo look, gutar and golf are so easy. Just look how easy it is for me to do" But I can't do, Tom! I can't do!!! Guitar and clubs going in the lake!
I just ❤️watching video where a player comes on just to play . No instruction. Just playing and talking how this or that has really improved their playing . This is skip video !
Great video Tom. Y'all should check out my new favorite southern rock band, The Curt Towne Band, all I have to say is wow...
What do you mean that Dickey Betts slanted the guitar pick, for what reasons?
It’s like he is not in the woods chopping wood, he is picking like crispy fried chicken!!😊
Can you do Woman of Mine by Lynyrd Skynyrd?! It’s so great, and not a well known song
EVEN I CAN PLAY THAT!!!!
When does Tom Saguto sleep??
Can you teach me guitar like you did golf?!
Have you ever played guitar on psychedelics? Whoa baby.
Are you saguto golf?
Never heard of him, is he famous?
there sounds like a lot of octopusses garden in there ala george harrison
5 notes ya say? Hahah almost reminds me of a certain scale
You sure do have a long head but your guitar skills are great.. 😂
He's got a big brain!
Make sure to make a full back swing before you dive into the Allman Brothers.
Simplicity is great and all of that, but after awhile it gets tedious when you can sort of tell what someone is about to play before they play it. The playing just seems to be full of cliches and tendencies and becomes boringly predictable. And it's also like someone with an annoying verbal tic. Example: Someone that is constantly saying 'you know' after every sentence, paragraph, or statement, you know? :-) I'm just bringing this up to play 'devil's advocate'. I like simplicity too, and like Dickey Betts' playing as well. However, since I discovered the Allman Brothers way back when, I've grown to appreciate players that draw from a larger musical palette of notes. I guess I could analogize with food: There could be a chef who was great at making simple comfort food like mac 'n cheese and BLT sandwiches and burgers, and chili. You know, great simple stuff, we all love, including myself. But, hey, there is nothing like a great chef who is highly trained who works in a 5 star restaurant who can make classic high-end dishes and innovative new stuff with combinations of flavors you never could have imagined. Btw, my favorite snippet of Dickey Betts' playing was his solo on 'Stormy Monday' on the Live at Fillmore East Album...brilliant.
That's the old joke: The best Allman Brothers songs were not written by an Allman.
Are you making this video at work, lol?
Looks like the hallway outside his work office. Lol…
pfffft. 😂
Lose all the dumb making faces crap. You will go far.
Simple. Dont quite describe dickie at all.
Lets hear you place his open tuming delta slide and fingerpickimg jack..
Playin the notes of a trill. Dont mean its with soul.
Plus dickei got some serious chops as well as s mean vibrato.
Clean crunchy tone and precise picking. So. Simple my ass.
Easy there cowboy.. he’s a nice guy and doin a pretty good job. Who pissed in your cornflakes?
