You're welcome Dylan I'm just glad you will play it out and spread the joy and gift of music to people ! Oh, and one more thing back stage passes for life !
October 15 , 1971 . The Allman Brothers played at the Syria Mosque in Pittsburgh . Pa . Two bucks to get in . Duane played slide on the S.G. L.P . He played a burst later on . Dicky had a gold top . They played the Fillmore set and did Revival for the encore . They smoked . Days later and he was gone . Best two bucks I ever spent .
Jeff, what a beautiful thing you did man. And for such a deserving player. Now all of us will get to revel in the beautiful sound of this guitar. Thank you!
So, in your opinion - you, who I think is the most creative slide player on the planet today, I heard the greatest rock show of all time - Allman Brothers at O'Shaunessy Auditorium in St Paul in March, 1971, in which they played virtually the same show they did at the Fillmore East. Took my wife to it (married 50 years now) on our first date. She still doesn't like me to play amplified if she is in the house :-) I had heard Duane on the Herbie Mann album and had to see Duane live.
Dylan, nice Mountain Jam work...one of the most inspirational Duane pieces...he transcends this plane....and will never forget the first time I listened to Fillmore...changed my life...
Dylan you are so extremely blessed. You are a young man who wasn’t born yet when he was alive. For someone like me who was alive and following the Allman Brothers. It would be like holding the history of what I grew up with. I can’t play like you do but I play with more feeling than most guitarists ever could. That’s the way Dwayne played. It doesn’t matter how fast you can play if people can’t feel what you play there’s no point in playing at all. Your slide playing is awesome by the way. Anyway what I was trying to say is, I feel blessed to be able to that way and having a guitar like that would be a dream come true. Keep it real brother.
I am so happy for you to have this. I know how it feels to have just the magically correct guitar under your hands. It’s a lifetime of stories just beginning. Just keep going. You will have your own passionate students, inspired by you, and a tribute to your own untainted passion. It has often been said that if you want to be a guitar player, don’t. It’s too hard. Unless you have to. Here’s to all of us who have to. Thanks.
What a wicked flame! Sitting in your lap straight to the camera it almost looks like a gold top (or just a fairly standard light tobacco burst). Then you pick it up and the light hits that top differently and it's like the tiger jumps out. Sweet guitar and awesome playing as always.
I’ve owned the album, my friend owned the 8 track, I’ve owned the cassette, the CD, and digital downloads of Live at Fillmore East. It’s been my favorite album of all albums since the 70s when I first heard it. You’re the closest to Duane’s sound and playing style than anyone I’ve heard - nice work.
Congratulations 🎊 I'm old enough to have seen him play live three times before he passed away....he's the reason I play guitar today....wail on keep his shoes shined....
Dylan, thank you for your dedication for the craft and artistry of slide guitar. I'm 70 now and you take me back to the days of my youth listening to Live At The Filmore for days at a time over an over! Comping riffs, learning the tunes and bonding with my old band mates way back then. I know you know, so I will forgo the obvious plethora of compliments I could bestow upon you. I would love to see your band live sometime. If you are ever playing near Orlando, please let me know! I am a fan boy . Congrats on receiving the Best Les Paul ever. I am so happy for you! You deserve it!
Congrats to you Dylan ! I've been playing guitar all my life and am also a huge ABB fan,I've seen them many times in my life. I only started trying to play slide about 10 yrs.ago but you young man are my go to guy for slide technique and inspiration. Thanks for all the great teaching kids!
I was fortunate to hear them at the Fillmore a few times back then and Duane's tone was always otherworldly! I'm looking forward to seeing you live one day with that guitar after your honeymoon. Continued blessings... ❤❤❤
When I was in high school, my sister had a boyfriend who was a musician. He and my sister would go up to Macon, Georgia, and hang out with the Brothers at the Big House! Back then I knew who the Allman Brothers were and liked them. The first album I ever bought with money I earned at my first job was "Beginnings" the album that was a combination of their first album and their second, "Idlewild South". I played it to death! lol. They didn't tell me when they went because my sister knew that I would want to skip school and go with them, and she didn't want her little brother hanging around with them because she and her boyfriend smoked pot and she knew our Mother would be royally pissed if she found out that I was involved with that. I wish they had told me then, that would have been awesome to go up there and hang out!
Oh man, you must be so stoked. I’ve always preferred Les Pauls with pick guards but that one with the pick up covers and the faded finish is just absolutely perfect as it is. And your playing is amazing as always.
All praise Jeff…Dylan you are an amazing guitar player that sadly a lot of the world is currently missing out on and one day will be exposed to the status you deserve. Congratulations on the beautiful guitar and keep rocking…WHAT!!!…
Awsome guitar! Ur one of my favorite guitar players. Would love to hear some more full length covers on UA-cam with smokestack! Awesome playing as always 🎸
Oh, my brother, you nailed it to a T! I too believe the ABB LIVE @ FILLMORE EAST to be the best live rock album I've ever heard. However, I think it's because of how tight and in tune the ENTIRE BAND was at that moment in time. None of them were concerned with "rock star status". The music and their musicianship as individuals appears to have been their sole purpose. While on stage, ALL were living, listening and playing in the moment. They unwaveringly watched and listened to each other. And as a result, played their blues based rock music with a jazz sensibility. ABSOLUTE MAGIC. You, my friend, DEFINITELY GET IT! Enjoy and cherish your awesome new Custom Shop LP. You deserve to own it. Do yourself proud with it. ❤ your channel!
Fantastic video buddy. That is one beautiful guitar and Jeff is one cool dude. Great introduction to this guitar and the intro and outer were awesome. I loved The Immigrant Song on Rhett's channel as well.
I agree, wholeheartedly. It is the best album ever Dwayne Allman, my favorite absolute favorite and let’s not forget Dickie Betts but thank you so much for this. I really appreciate it. Good luck love that Guitar. Keep it forever Johnny P from New Jersey.
I'm so jealous! I'm 58, still playing but all of my old gear is gone. And I could never afford to replace it nowadays. That is surely one beautiful Les Paul! Good luck with it, it's definitely a keeper! 👍✌
I just turned 59 and I know that feeling. Back in the late 90's I went through a nasty divorce and sold all my gear. My 1960 Ampeg B15-XY, gone. My 1985 Carvin DC150, gone. My 1988 Hamer Chaparral Custom, gone. I picked up a Fender Stratocaster and eventually, a Fender Mustang III. I still have the Fender but it's always a work in progress. The Stratocaster I picked up from a friend that was getting married and needed the money, $250. Then one day I was checking out used guitars and found a Les Paul. It was like new. As soon as I picked it up I knew there was something special about that guitar. Not all Les Pauls are special but this one just felt right. So, for $599 with a hardshell case, I walked with a 2005 Gibson Les Paul Studio Faded T series. It has the old school wiring and sounds great. Sure, it doesn't have the bling of a Les Paul Standard but cosmetics do not make it sound or play great. It would be nice to have a custom shop Les Paul but, I have to be able to eat. If you close your eyes, a Les Paul Studio sounds the same as a Standard.
Hey, Dylan. Congrats - that's a good score. I want to say that you rekindled my focus on slide. I've always played with a "quarter slide" on my ring finger, since I don't need a full one for most things, and it allows me to still play chords and fret. I have a pair of 1.5" titanium Furious Slides that were custom made for me. Sadly, Furious no longer produces them, so when I lose these, I'm toast.
Congrats Dylan!! That’s a gorgeous looking and sounding LP. I’ve always lusted often that specific model. You must be stoked. I recently added to my collection a LP I’ve lusted after to a slightly lesser degree than the Duane reissue. And that’s a Lee Roy Parnell signature model. I’m not a huge LRP fan or anything, but I freaking love his guitar. Basically it’s an R7 goldtop with a few mods that really make it special, in my book. First, it has Ron Ellis PAF pickups specifically made for this guitar. These pickups alone and so amazingly clear and authentic to real PAFs (at least some of them, haha). And as for Ron Ellis pickups: IYKYK. It also has a more scooped cutaway for better upper fret access, but not so that it’s noticeable. And it has a slick black stinger on the back of the headstock, which I love. I think there were 100 made for the US and I got #99, which is cool. Anyway I have had several LP, and other LP style guitars, and this is my favorite by far. So Dylan when you were describing this guitar it sounded as if I were talking about my LRP!
I agree with EVERYTHING you said and you have nailed the slide parts!! Please post the first two Duane leads on You Don't Love Me - not the solo, the first two leads - they blow me away and I think are some of his finest leads.
Dylan, just wanted to add that I own a "Rossington" LP. Now then Gibson had some leftovers from that run that they sold in Japan. Bought 1 for $3500.00 from a dealer in Japan. Gold Grovers and hardware. The only thing that was missing was the photos, etc. A beaut! I was also fortunate to have seen Duane's last concert in 1971 at Painter's Mill , MD. Baltimore The best! Still love playing his licks!
You're welcome Dylan I'm just glad you will play it out and spread the joy and gift of music to people ! Oh, and one more thing back stage passes for life !
Thanks Jeff!! Of course man, all the backstage passes you want hahah 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Cool move Jeff. We will now enjoy this beautiful Les Paul together.
The music community needs more people like Jeff…A person who truly appreciates the craft and artistry. Music is powerful…WHAT!!!…
It's not often you can do something that brings someone so much joy. That was such a great thing you did.
I have a feeling Duane is looking down, tapping his foot, with a huge smile.
October 15 , 1971 . The Allman Brothers played at the Syria Mosque in Pittsburgh . Pa . Two bucks to get in . Duane played slide on the S.G. L.P . He played a burst later on . Dicky had a gold top . They played the Fillmore set and did Revival for the encore . They smoked . Days later and he was gone . Best two bucks I ever spent .
Couldn’t think of someone more deserving of this guitar! You own the guitar man, I mean you most deserve it
such a lovely LP.
Jeff, what a beautiful thing you did man. And for such a deserving player. Now all of us will get to revel in the beautiful sound of this guitar. Thank you!
Dude, absolutely stellar slide playing! I have not heard a more pleasing reference of Duane's playing, bar none.
Absolutely agree, that Fillmore is the very best live album ever. Congrats on the new Paul
Studied Duane for thousands of hours over 50 years and you definitely have “it”. Thanks so much.
So, in your opinion - you, who I think is the most creative slide player on the planet today, I heard the greatest rock show of all time - Allman Brothers at O'Shaunessy Auditorium in St Paul in March, 1971, in which they played virtually the same show they did at the Fillmore East.

Very nice and respectful to the Sky dog young man. This was the music of my youth. God bless Dwayne
Dwayne is a rapper
Dylan, nice Mountain Jam work...one of the most inspirational Duane pieces...he transcends this plane....and will never forget the first time I listened to Fillmore...changed my life...

Filmore is my favorite recording of all time and I'm older than dirt. Congrats Dylan, well deserved brother
Awesome, your story is getting more and more amazing
What a wicked flame! Sitting in your lap straight to the camera it almost looks like a gold top (or just a fairly standard light tobacco burst). Then you pick it up and the light hits that top differently and it's like the tiger jumps out. Sweet guitar and awesome playing as always.
Right! I love that aspect of it, the top looks a little plain/unassuming a lot of the time, but in certain lighting that flame goes BAM. And thanks!!
I’ve owned the album, my friend owned the 8 track, I’ve owned the cassette, the CD, and digital downloads of Live at Fillmore East. It’s been my favorite album of all albums since the 70s when I first heard it.
You’re the closest to Duane’s sound and playing style than anyone I’ve heard - nice work.
Congratulations 🎊
I'm old enough to have seen him play live three times before he passed away....he's the reason I play guitar today....wail on keep his shoes shined....
Good for you brother, it's always nice seeing a dream come true. Beautiful guitar and great playing. Keep up the great work!!!!
Amazing & the only LP which is exempt from having the pick guard. Good Lord, that top is the best top I've ever seen on an LP
Agree , about Fillmore Too , can’t wait for your history of Skydogs guitars .
Congrats. It's great to see someone so stoked about an instrument.
Dude that thing is BEAUTIFUL and it couldn't have found a better home!
Congrats, you play it so well and completely do it justice!!! Can’t wait to hear you play it on your first LP!!!
Dylan, thank you for your dedication for the craft and artistry of slide guitar. I'm 70 now and you take me back to the days of my youth listening to Live At The Filmore for days at a time over an over! Comping riffs, learning the tunes and bonding with my old band mates way back then. I know you know, so I will forgo the obvious plethora of compliments I could bestow upon you. I would love to see your band live sometime. If you are ever playing near Orlando, please let me know! I am a fan boy . Congrats on receiving the Best Les Paul ever. I am so happy for you! You deserve it!
It’s incredible how the guitar goes from a plain-top to a flame-top as you tilt it! Beautiful!
The Mountain Jam part you did at the beginning was just fantastic.
You sound fantastic on your new guitar!!! I think you’ve found your perfect dance partner!!!
Congratulations. Glad you explained the pickup covers, which I prefer too.
Congrats to you Dylan !
I've been playing guitar all my life and am also a huge ABB fan,I've seen them many times in my life.
I only started trying to play slide about 10 yrs.ago but you young man are my go to guy for slide technique and inspiration.
Thanks for all the great teaching kids!
The figure of the wood, the chatoyancy, when you move the viewing angle, is awesome.
Stoked for you Dude! That is soooo rad! That bridge pickup sings!
I was fortunate to hear them at the Fillmore a few times back then and Duane's tone was always otherworldly! I'm looking forward to seeing you live one day with that guitar after your honeymoon. Continued blessings... ❤❤❤
Absolutely love this! So glad you were able to end up with this guitar. I can see and hear the connection with it. Congrats Dylan!

That's an amazing guitar! Happy for you brother. Wonderful playing.
I loved how the flame in the video only came and went when you tilted it. Gorgeous.
Oh man, you must be so stoked. I’ve always preferred Les Pauls with pick guards but that one with the pick up covers and the faded finish is just absolutely perfect as it is. And your playing is amazing as always.
Nice! Love Duane Allman's style. Beautiful guitar!
Man that guitar is surely a beauty! Kudos to you for acquiring it.
Live at the fillmore east. I bought my record in 1974. Best live record ever !!!
Dude, I'm so glad there is another Duane Allman nerd like me!
Awesome sound. Great match of player and guitar.
Glad you got your dream guitar 👍. I just picked up an early reissue of live at Fillmore East, it’s a must have.
It looks beautiful. Congratulations.
Thank you Jeff! A true gentleman! And Your playing you deserve it!
What a wonderful gesture! Well done Jeff.
There are good people in this world well played Jeff this trade brightens up the world with Dylan’s soulful play 🙏
All praise Jeff…Dylan you are an amazing guitar player that sadly a lot of the world is currently missing out on and one day will be exposed to the status you deserve. Congratulations on the beautiful guitar and keep rocking…WHAT!!!…

Great playing and a very cool reissue. Fillmore East is definitely the greatest live rock album of all time.
Outstanding - stoked for ya, bud!
Great Playing man. I saw Duane in 1971 July. I was never the same
Meant to be. Glad you found the one!
My mom and dad were at the hospital in Macon when Duane was hit and brought in. I wish he was still here to be able to listen to you play.
I would love a five watt world x dylan collab on the guitars and history of duane allman!
That would be awesome! Love his videos
That is a beautiful Burst and top - congrats
Awesome playing Mr. Adams. One of my favourite DA riffs. Thanks.
Thanks!!

That’s awesome man! Been missin your playin on a Gibson.
Great post and Congrats! 😎👍 (I just ordered a Farber replacement ABRN for my 80 LP and let them know you sent me, thx)

Great guitars need to be played and Jeff saw that and knew it would be in the right hands. Amazing act of humanity there Jeff!
My favorite slide solo from Duane! ❤️ so good…..
Stunning Les Paul nice one!
Heck yes! Congratulations!
Wow, you are an amazing player!
que la disfrutes, te la mereces, un abrazo desde España.
Congratulations 🎉
No aging for me.
I prefer the finish on yours.
I actually like the tiger color.
Agreed about the covers too.
Great story and a beautiful guitar! Thanks for sharing.
You’ve got the touch. Enjoy brother.

Love it! Also appreciate your amazing playing...
Congrats on that awesome trade man that guitar could not be in better hands
