walleva69 Certainly Duane Allman was every bit as fluent. He just didn't live long enough to put out enough records as Hendrix and the others, before his very unfortunate accident in '71.
Derek is, without question, one of today's top handful of guitar players alive in the world. He will not be upstaged for a very long time to come, as long as he stays healthy and alive. To me, he has all the best attributes of Hendrix, Dickey Betts, Robin Trower, SRV, EC, Buddy Guy and Rober Johnson. Not to mention, he brings his own chops and his own style to the stage and energizes it every time.
is that a pick between his fingers? He never uses one (and doesnt here either) Itd be cool to know if in the old days he carried one "just in case" he felt he needed it
i believe it is; there used to be a clip from the same show of them playing sleepwalk on here, and it was there too. look at his hair! haha ridiculous. hes younger here than me, but completely destroys my guitar ability.
He played with a pick for certain fast licks he did at that time. I have this complete show on dvd ('s a boot I got from the Chicago Guitar show, it's 1/2 Derek Trucks band and 1/2 Gov't Mule) He slays warren haynes on that recording.

It's one thing to see him directing dTb now, but to see it pre-ponytail at the age of 16, it's pretty damn impressive.
