Cali- No. He’s not master of the guitar. He’s got his ears together. He’s a musician. He’s singing out loud on it. I’ll bet he could play anything and make melodic music. Maybe not as proficient as on the guitar ( because he’s spent decades on it), but I’ll bet he could. There are guitarists, and then there are musicians. And then there are Grammy award winning musicians. I think he’s spent some times on silent retreats to get his head together. Umm, on second thought, I think you’re right. He is a master of the guitar. 57 yo guitarist here. I listen to everything from Hound Dog to Gary Moore to David Lindley Ear training is more important than any 59 Les Paul guitar and a Marshall
Did you know that the bottle he uses to play slide was once owned by Sky Dog (Duane Allman) himself. It was a gift to Derek from his Uncle Butch Trucks
One of his greatest “tricks” is the quick brush across all the not always muted strings that he does between phrases. It mimics a human voice taking a breath. It’s just noise but very well placed noise. You can tell he studies Indian scales where different notes are used whether you are ascending or descending in the scale too. I love that he pretty much sticks to ONE guitar. Probably only switches when it falls apart from being played so much.
Having seen Duane Allman play in person and Derek Trucks numerous times, I still say Duane is better. But Derek has many years left to catch up. Rest in peace, Duane, Berry, Gregg, Dickie and Butch.
I’m new to Derek and Susan. I’m simply amazed. What Susan belts out in words Derek belts out on his guitar…. What a pair, what a group of musicians. Every single one of them have a home in their band.
Imagine you just smoked dmt in the bathtub and as soon as the visuals start crawling around this comes on and you hear it for the very first time Cried like a fucking baby it was so beautiful
In my life I have been moved to tears by the voice, the violin, the cello and the piano but never by the guitar. Until this moment. I broke down during the guitar solo of Midnight in Harlem.
I don't disagree with his level of talent, but I would say that he has a totally different style than the legendary Skydog. He obviously studied Duane Allman and can play like him, but he does so many other things that Duane didn't do.
Compliments to the chef. Definite thumbs up. Great selections and good variety. Being huge ABB fans we've seen Derek since he was about 10-12 when he was already amazing. There's some really great slide players out there but he's #2 on our "Slide Guitar-Top 20" video and #1 is no longer alive so in our view nobody compares today. He's also on "Top 5 Guitar Players 2022" so you might say we like Derek Trucks a whole lot. Billy Strings tops our playlist currently and we've seen him play with every guitar player imaginable except Derek. It finally happened. It should happen more.
My first intro to Derek Trucks was at the 2010 Eric Clapton Crossroads Guitar Festival… The solo he did on Midnight in Harlem that afternoon in the 100-degree plus heat to a packed soccer stadium was mindblowingly beautiful! 🤩 Worthy of being at the top of this list! ✌🏼🤘🏽
I hope you can continue to add to this list. A couple of these I had never heard/seen and are absolutely worthy. Another that I think could be added would be his Lie In Our Graves solo with Dave Matthews from June 2022 in Jacksonville.
Love how Tedeschi looks at her husband like how bandmates look at the other like "what are they doin now?" and then followed by "nice, they did it" with the musician stank face.
I've said it before: Derek Trucks is an amazing guitarist and the best slide man since Duane Allman. He is a more than worthy successor. As he has matured, he has only gotten better. He's one of the most talented musicians performing today. richard -- Music is the companion of joy, the medicine of sorrow. - anonymous
@@smoothoperator7023There are many great slide players. If you're looking for some to check out, a few of my favorites are Derek, Blake Mills, Ry Cooder, Jerry Douglas, Greg Liesz, Blind Willie Johnson, Alvino Rey
Yes, I do remember him there was another young white player who played with BB King as well back in the 90's he was a bit older than this guy do anyone remember him.
Cant think of the song but none of these at the Chesapeake blues fest where he breaks the high string but carries on and kills. Oh yes, the clip shows bill Murray on the back of the stage for a few seconds clapping. Maybe 2012ish..
Top guitarists don't have time to sing. Too busy making music. Derek Trucks has got to be one of the top guys around today. Great finger style he alone invented himself obviously. Quietly making it happen. The Allman Brothers had an excellent pedigree. He has to lead because he is a leader on guitar. His strumming licks are also as good as it gets. He was born to play guitar. He takes you on a ride and back and that's how music is meant to be. One band I really wanna see.
I’ve been watching and listening to Derek play since he was 9 years old and although these are good, they aren’t even Close to his Best. And how about Otiel Burbrige’s Bass on Desdenona? Derek is The Greatest Guitarist Alive Today.
It’s kind of a bummer the only way you can really see Derek now is with TTB…I’m just not a huge fan of the arraignment and music- Derek not withstanding lol. When he sat in with Phish I thought I died and went to heaven…my favorite band with my 2 favorite guitarists
Have to say I'm a little confused by that statement. Tedeschi Trucks Band is just a continuation of the music he has played his entire life. A lot of the same songs, same material.

One of the best guitar players alive

Greatest slide player to walk the earth
Correct and Brother Duane just Started it all but he had a Hand in it...
Having seen Duane Allman play in person and Derek Trucks numerous times, I still say Duane is better. But Derek has many years left to catch up. Rest in peace, Duane, Berry, Gregg, Dickie and Butch.
Duane Allman was the greatest.
I’m new to Derek and Susan. I’m simply amazed.
What Susan belts out in words Derek belts out on his guitar…. What a pair, what a group of musicians. Every single one of them have a home in their band.
How he appears so oblivious to the euforia he's causing around him is quite astounding
right... hes so calm
Oh he knows. He knows what hits the brain orgasms
AMEN!
It's called being in the "zone" Everything else goes away in the moment
An absolute master at teasing the root note resolution as long as humanly possible haha
Entire band is just so ridiculously talented.
Indeed..
Midnight in Harlem gets me everytime
my first time hearing it just now. it's not often that a guitar solo makes me cry - this one fucking destroyed me
@@oldcrappymcweaksauce best version of that song he's ever played hands down. other live version just don't hit like that one.

He has a God given talent that cannot be taught. He was born with a gift to produce sounds no one else can. Only one person, The Sky Dog!
Makes me believe in Reincarnation just for that TONE Alone.

Absolutely sacred! He is a legend and he is so humble. Played with so many greats!🎸🤟
Probably the best guitarist I’ve ever heard…. And I’m a SRV guy. Slide touches a deeper part of me.
He and Sonny Landreyh doing Congo Square at the Crossroads Festival i think in 2013 is stellar
Bro is so chill, but his solos are so damn climactic! 😮
Derek is one mean mothertrucker on slide guitar.
Nice one

Ya just gotta know Duane and Dickie are proud to know they started the generation of absolute great slide guitarists

✌🏼🤘🏽
Yes, that should be on this list for sure.
Derek casually the best slide guitarist on the planet at age 13-14.
And he's been getting better and better ever since then.
He's the second coming of Duane Allman. Honestly could be better than him even.
@@orange-rv9ekduane walked so derek could run
@@M4TT4TT4CK ..this comment gave me chills, holy chills. 🌜🌟
only guitarist that makes me cry

Ya know, watching Derek’s game through the years it’s just unimaginable how it is he just keeps getting better and better..!!
Phenomenal talent. Beautiful melodies. Derek is the Alpha-Omega of Guitarists.
Truth.. beautiful music.
Took my breath away entire video
He's phenomenal..indeed.🎉
Love how Tedeschi looks at her husband like how bandmates look at the other like "what are they doin now?" and then followed by "nice, they did it" with the musician stank face.
You should see Derek looks at his wife shortly before his solo on Midnight in Harlem, Live in Atlanta. And his solo there! My God!
2011: 02 London, Until You Remember. I saw the same solo live in 2012 and everything stood up, hair , arms, skin, ears
Bravo! Midnight in Harlem..the right choice for number 1. Stunning. emotionally moving.
Wrong solo though. There are better Midnight in Harlem solos
Absolute legend! Midnight in Harlem live solo a fave of mine, though not as intense as these! Great video :)
MIIIKKEE! Thanks for watching! Yeah Midnight in Harlem is one of the best.
I've said it before: Derek Trucks is an amazing guitarist and the best slide man since Duane Allman. He is a more than worthy successor. As he has matured, he has only gotten better. He's one of the most talented musicians performing today.

Who are the top 5 slide guitarists?
@@smoothoperator7023There are many great slide players. If you're looking for some to check out, a few of my favorites are Derek, Blake Mills, Ry Cooder, Jerry Douglas, Greg Liesz, Blind Willie Johnson, Alvino Rey
Desdemona is one of the best things ever recorded.
Midnight in Harlem , e-town version 2011, I believe. Best solo ever.
Congratulations on 1,000 subscribers!!!!
Gods love shines through this man’s solos!
Exactly.
Best ever!!!!!
Thanks for watching! He is unbelievable.
Along with Jimi and Stevie Ray😊
Too wonderful indeed.
Baddest in the land
The last one is fantastic (Midnight in Harlem).
Absolute insanity
Never have I heard an instrument sound more like a human voice.
Shapes the solos v well.
Someone asked BB King about slide and he said Elmore James, Duane Allman, Derek Trucks
Fabulous !
I Thank You GOD has my ears 👂 👂 to TTB)))❤
Yes, I do remember him there was another young white player who
played with BB King as well back
in the 90's he was a bit older than
this guy do anyone remember
him.
Kenny Wayne Shepard?
Cant think of the song but none of these at the Chesapeake blues fest where he breaks the high string but carries on and kills. Oh yes, the clip shows bill Murray on the back of the stage for a few seconds clapping. Maybe 2012ish..
Born to play guitar and my god can he play
That 12 year old kid playing the best version of Layla ever...
From the makers of Cars and Plans. Now Trucks.
Well said

People always wonder what Duane Allman would sound like if he lived. This is it!!!
10:50
Affirmed when BB King placed his hand on Derek’s shoulder and said, “That’s the best I’ve ever heard “
10:44 perfeito ❤
The last solo #1…. Where can i find that entire performance?
I believe it's posted on youtube as Live at the Orpheum Theatre, in Madison
E-Town
Still my favorite song, but these are all beautiful beautiful sounds..
Hard to argue with the #1 selection Midnight in Harlem. His solos with ABB are lengendary that were not on the list.
I’ve been watching and listening to Derek play since he was 9 years old and although these are good, they aren’t even Close to his Best. And how about Otiel Burbrige’s Bass on Desdenona? Derek is The Greatest Guitarist Alive Today.
You' all wanna buy a Derek Trucks pick?.......😂....................
With great power comes great responsibility
This guy stole my name. And birthday
RIP Kofi❤❤🎉
Tears...😔
Trucks the best of the best, just try and tell me he ain't, wow.
He isn’t he’s a better picker than slide all day long
A talent seconed to none
Yeah, but can he play My Sharona?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Channeling Duane Allman for sure.
I'd like to hear him without the glass slide, I want to hear his fingers, all 5 of them, tickle that fretboard.
SG always
sheesh
I think they really lack a third drummer.
😊 ..i love their percussion.
Allman Brothers have two drummers and a percussionist, in concert it's like a freight train with the guitars soaring above!
It's missing this one ua-cam.com/video/AgUl79k5UNk/v-deo.html
I just commented this before I scrolled and saw your post. Thank you! Agreed!
These are great, but not nearly his best. These are almost all ten plus years old. He gets better and better

Là, pfff, je sais plus quoi dire, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣✌️
Love him with The Allman brothers and Government mule and all the blues based stuff. When he starts with all that Indian shit he's into though. I'm out.
To original poster: when a musician plays, solo or not, the rest of the band’s playing is equally important. I can’t even listen to this.
A little too much influence from India style lately in my opinion. I prefer the Strait rock'n roll and blues style he played more of earlier.
ok
Ok
I LOVE WATCHING HIM PLAY, W/O A DOUBT THE BEST SLIDE PLAYER ON THE PLANET TODAY, SKYDOG IS SMILING DOWN ON HIM BIGTIME, FROM THE BROTHERS, TO THE BROTHERS AND HIS BAND AND TO TEDESCHI- TRUCKS, HE'S THE MASTER
Genius ✌️
Big...
