Hey all!! im Sean 14 years old!! i write songs i sing/drumer/pianist/guitarist Try to Chek out my Cover For this Cool Song!!! u Rocks Guys!!! S S S S S S S
DERECK TRUCKS YOU FUCKING OWN THE SHIT OUT OF THAT SOLO GOOD JOB BROTHER I HOPE YOU READ MY COMMENT JUST SO YOU CONTINUE TO UNDERSTAND HOW FUCKING DIVINE YOU ARE.
woah sorry, but seriously that was pretty swell work.
Hey, I have a question that maybe some fellow guitarists can help me out? Does Eric Clapton anchor his strumming hand when he plays guitar? Like, does he put his fingers on the pickguard when he plays? I hear it's a bad habit but hey, it looks like he's not too affected by it. But I'm a rookie so what do I know, lol.
@C0NEZ0NE I believe he does. I anchor my right (picking) hand by placing my pinkie on the bottom of the bridge and, from I've seen, Clapton does this as well. It wasn't something I conscientiously tried to do; it's just the way I've always played. I've oftened wondered if this technique was limiting me, but if it's good enough for Clapton, it's good enough for me :-)
Saw the three of them in San Antonio....what a show....can you ask for better musicians? I don't think so....Clapton still has it goin' on, to be sure.
then you dont know anything bout derek, he is a really nice guy, he actually cares about his fans and sometimes let them play his guitar...unlike the hollywood brats he is actually gratefull that we buy his records and buy tickets!
Derek Trucks' CDs don't do him justice - see him live. Deep music. Clapton is of the age to mentor other players; he is not afraid of a challenge, so these are musicians he recognises as inventive, brave and able to hear their own music and that of others. This is the sort of guidance Fletcher Henderson gave sax players like Coleman Hawkins and Ben Webster, not to mention how Mayall schooled Clapton.
Hendrix played a right handed strat with the string strung upside down which makes it right side up 4 him......Albert King you are right he played them backward
you are kidding me dude. you must hold your ears when you listen to derek trucks. Clapton may have had more influence on music, but he'll NEVER touch the spiritual communication of Trucks.
Luv the way Doyle gets so into his wonderful solo! His tone and timing is incredible! The relaxed concentration on his face...that excellent dancer moving to the rythm in the backround...can it get any better than that?!
bramhall did ok the arch angels are the shit though thats for sure, claptin is getting old but he still some of it, derek was just phenomenal beautifull performance the level of feeling he played was really awesome shit to watch
i know it's mental!! all these pop-rock crap bands made it bad to be emotional. brian may did it, as did david gilmour and now people such as john mayer and matt ebllamy (of muse) do it and they're criticised for it... not good
Who cares what those stupid homos think. They're brainless idiots who look up to semi-illiterate celebrities like Britney Spears or Paris Hilton. They can all go to hell.
his name is Doyle Bramhall II. hes one of the best and most repected guitar players around. listen to his music, trust me. he aint up there for shits and giggles. and what the hell is up with people not doing any research before they post these comments....
yeah no kidding, it's enfuriating. How can you not just have so much respect for Clapton to share the stage with two monsters like that. It's so awesome that he is giving them the opportunity to make music with him. I'm sure it keeps him motivated and pushes him nightly. Not all rock stars would put themselves in a position like that--think about a Tom Petty concert. That's why Clapton is truly a musical genius and it's great he keeps giving back to the craft.
i'd hardly call him one of the best, in terms of actually playing improvised solos and playing them quickly and not just the same thing everytime, he's relatively poor. i've seen him live with clapton and it was just the same as here and everywhere else. and as far as being respected... well... i probably wouldnt even go that far.
Oh this is lovely The Canadian/American dialogue. They hate us they buy our gas and groceries and act like they're in Tijuana.

Mr.Bramhall is Amazing , and just what Eric needs in his band , Looking forward to Cork Eire in June see you all there .OH YES != a Pint i/2/3/4/5 + Guiness + ..great place + in june .................
i sure hope that eric releases a full length dvd with this line up,it's the best guitar partnership his ever put together,doyle and derek are awesome guitarists and eric seems to be playing with real fire these days

Saw this band three times (Raliegh, Jacksonville and Auburn Hills) and they were great. Just awesome. The best band Eric has had in years. Eric, release a DVD of this tour. I have to have a version of Got to get better in a little while!
is it just me or does it look like doyle's high e string is at the position where the low e string should be? meaning that his whole guitar i strung like right handed guitar?
That's right. He strings his guitars inversely. That's why he has to change guitars so often - he uses a lot of open strings so depending on the keys he often needs a different guitar.
To sistar101,Guitarslinger059 and roseautumn; the writing on Derek's Gibson SG are autographs of Hubert Sumlin(Howlin'Wolf's guitarist) and Bob Margolin(Muddy Waters' guitarist). He talked about it in his GuitarPlayer Magazine article a couple years ago.
bilmon420 clapton never ruined nothin...i swear i dont know where ppl come up with the uneducated comments bout things they know little of or nothin at all !!!
obviously you didn't read my other comments, i'll tell you were i came up with that "uneducated comment", from the jackass that said doyle and derek ruined this song.
there were plenty of blues lovers in the 60's that said the same things about guys like clapton and mike bloomfield, "oh what does some white kid know about playin the blues" , but like you said if not for musicians like ec and peter green and so many others, blues music would have been unheard by many people. so why should it stop there, the idea behind improvisational music is to continue to break new ground. sorry if my earlier posts were too sarcastic and smart ass to be taken seriously.
you may have taken my comments too seriously, all the things i said about the "true" roots of the blues and clapton "ruining" crossroads or whatever was to make the point that the music is still growing and evolving so to just write off a whole new generation of young players as clueless, soulless hacks(i know there are plenty of young players like that) because they don't understand the blues or whatever is pretty ignorant.
I would imagine that if you have to be a slave to play the blues, then you'd have to also be a slave to appreciate it. The whole form would be an anachronism, and probably never heard or heard of. Is this what you want?
don't get me wrong i love clapton, he is a living legend and his contributions to music are undeniable, but lets put this in perspective, playing sped up howlin wolf and albert king licks with more overdrive doesnt make someone god or even a true bluesman. if these guys were really so god awful i guess that would mean eric doesn't know anything about music, quit talking so much shit and enjoy great musicians playing together
clapton "ruined" it 40 years ago, everyone not named robert johnson raped this song. how is it that popular music has become a joke and still no one can appreciate roots musicians who are playing for the right reasons, and it has to turn into a contest. the true roots of the blues is not simply gettin shitted on, everyone gets shitted on, its bein fuckin enslaved and workin forced hard labor all goddamn day, i don't think anyone on stage has dealt with that
How aware of blues would you be if Clapton hadn't ruined it 40 years ago? There's no reason why blues shouldn't have evolved, but I must say I do draw the line on the people that are adding hip-hop influence to it! Don't forget though, they didn't have electric guitars in Robert Johnson's day. If they had, he may have played one. I don't think B.B. King or Buddy Guy share your feelings on authenticity though...
um your simply a disgrace to yourself Mr. "420" haha we all get it, ....and this is coming from a person who knows exactly what your talking about and completely disagrees with you. Most people wouldn't know who Robert johnson was if it wasn't for blues revivalists like EC. So pls don't post if your simply going to pollute the minds of your fellow youtube using peers with that kind of mendacious filth.
i dont know what it is about this page but it seems whenever i watch this u guys are all talkin shit with the comments. enjoy this this vid.....3 great guitar players not mention a living legend. they are all great in there own right
I saw Derek Trucks for the first time when he was 12 years old at Tobacco Road in Miami. He' only gotten better with age, wise beyond his years and the most humble cat you could ever meet. He's gonna' be around for a long time to come and I believe he will go down as a legend in his own lifetime! The writing on his
Gibson SG is two autographs, one is Hubert Sumlin.(not sure on the other)
You go Derek!! close the eyes as much as you want. I love your style. Must be a sign of greatness when a guitar players closes his eyes cause Stevie Ray Vaughn did the same thing. go watch Stevie Ray Vaughan on you tube.
I loved the way that during this tour, the two younger men would play a solo each, both concentrating hard on their fretboards, (both sounding excellent, don't get me wrong), Then Clapton would step forward, close his eyes and with an expression that almost says, "out of the way boys, I was doing this before you were born!", wipe the floor with both of them.
btw, I notice in some close up shots, Truck's guitar seems to have something written on it in marker pen, anyone know what it is?
Yep, supposedly its something written from his wife, Susan Tedeschi (Not too sure on the spelling there) Also, I saw these guys in St. Louis and as much as I hate to say it Derek put Clapton to shame on his solos.
Steve Jordan drives the excitement UP here and helps push all 3 of the six stringers a little further. Compare and contrast to any of the Crossroads with Gadd on the throne. Not saying he's a bad drummer. Just dig the excitement Jordan brings everywhere.

Witajcie ludzie! Wczoraj czytałem tu coś o "Referral Code" CARDGOD na Absolutepoker com i w końcu się z sukcesem zarejestrowałem! Funkcjonuje ten kod także gdzie indziej i czy również jest możliwość otrzymania bonusu w wysokości 500 dolarów? Proszę o prędką pomoc, ponieważ wiem, że takie kody na ogół są ważne tylko krótki czas! Dzięki, Mark

Saw this band three times (Raliegh, Jacksonville and Auburn Hills) and they were great. Just awesome. The best band Eric has had in years. Eric, release a DVD of this tour. I have to have a version of Got to get better in a little while!

is it just me or does it look like doyle's high e string is at the position where the low e string should be? meaning that his whole guitar i strung like right handed guitar?
idk it definitely looks like it though
RockLeeFan23 4 years ago
That's right. He strings his guitars inversely. That's why he has to change guitars so often - he uses a lot of open strings so depending on the keys he often needs a different guitar.

To sistar101,Guitarslinger059 and roseautumn; the writing on Derek's Gibson SG are autographs of Hubert Sumlin(Howlin'Wolf's guitarist) and Bob Margolin(Muddy Waters' guitarist). He talked about it in his GuitarPlayer Magazine article a couple years ago.

bilmon420 clapton never ruined nothin...i swear i dont know where ppl come up with the uneducated comments bout things they know little of or nothin at all !!!
homegrown461 4 years ago
obviously you didn't read my other comments, i'll tell you were i came up with that "uneducated comment", from the jackass that said doyle and derek ruined this song.
bilmon420 4 years ago
there were plenty of blues lovers in the 60's that said the same things about guys like clapton and mike bloomfield, "oh what does some white kid know about playin the blues" , but like you said if not for musicians like ec and peter green and so many others, blues music would have been unheard by many people. so why should it stop there, the idea behind improvisational music is to continue to break new ground. sorry if my earlier posts were too sarcastic and smart ass to be taken seriously.
bilmon420 4 years ago
you may have taken my comments too seriously, all the things i said about the "true" roots of the blues and clapton "ruining" crossroads or whatever was to make the point that the music is still growing and evolving so to just write off a whole new generation of young players as clueless, soulless hacks(i know there are plenty of young players like that) because they don't understand the blues or whatever is pretty ignorant.
bilmon420 4 years ago
I would imagine that if you have to be a slave to play the blues, then you'd have to also be a slave to appreciate it. The whole form would be an anachronism, and probably never heard or heard of. Is this what you want?
lamborn55 4 years ago
don't get me wrong i love clapton, he is a living legend and his contributions to music are undeniable, but lets put this in perspective, playing sped up howlin wolf and albert king licks with more overdrive doesnt make someone god or even a true bluesman. if these guys were really so god awful i guess that would mean eric doesn't know anything about music, quit talking so much shit and enjoy great musicians playing together
bilmon420 4 years ago
clapton "ruined" it 40 years ago, everyone not named robert johnson raped this song. how is it that popular music has become a joke and still no one can appreciate roots musicians who are playing for the right reasons, and it has to turn into a contest. the true roots of the blues is not simply gettin shitted on, everyone gets shitted on, its bein fuckin enslaved and workin forced hard labor all goddamn day, i don't think anyone on stage has dealt with that
bilmon420 4 years ago
How aware of blues would you be if Clapton hadn't ruined it 40 years ago? There's no reason why blues shouldn't have evolved, but I must say I do draw the line on the people that are adding hip-hop influence to it! Don't forget though, they didn't have electric guitars in Robert Johnson's day. If they had, he may have played one. I don't think B.B. King or Buddy Guy share your feelings on authenticity though...
lamborn55 4 years ago
um your simply a disgrace to yourself Mr. "420" haha we all get it, ....and this is coming from a person who knows exactly what your talking about and completely disagrees with you. Most people wouldn't know who Robert johnson was if it wasn't for blues revivalists like EC. So pls don't post if your simply going to pollute the minds of your fellow youtube using peers with that kind of mendacious filth.

I saw Derek Trucks for the first time when he was 12 years old at Tobacco Road in Miami. He' only gotten better with age, wise beyond his years and the most humble cat you could ever meet. He's gonna' be around for a long time to come and I believe he will go down as a legend in his own lifetime! The writing on his
Gibson SG is two autographs, one is Hubert Sumlin.(not sure on the other)

You go Derek!! close the eyes as much as you want. I love your style. Must be a sign of greatness when a guitar players closes his eyes cause Stevie Ray Vaughn did the same thing. go watch Stevie Ray Vaughan on you tube.

I loved the way that during this tour, the two younger men would play a solo each, both concentrating hard on their fretboards, (both sounding excellent, don't get me wrong), Then Clapton would step forward, close his eyes and with an expression that almost says, "out of the way boys, I was doing this before you were born!", wipe the floor with both of them.
btw, I notice in some close up shots, Truck's guitar seems to have something written on it in marker pen, anyone know what it is?
sistar101 4 years ago
watch closer on other videos of trucks, he closes his eyes almost the entire time he plays. he always has no facial expression with eyes closed

BluesMike23 4 years ago
Yep, supposedly its something written from his wife, Susan Tedeschi (Not too sure on the spelling there) Also, I saw these guys in St. Louis and as much as I hate to say it Derek put Clapton to shame on his solos.
