@Heatherbird3 WOW!! Dickey is playing an IBANEZ Artist!!Thats RARE, still Mahogany equals tone, and with Dickey at the Helm, you will never suffer from tone deprivation, and good ole SOUTHERN FLAIR!! Be proud your a Rebel cause the SOUTHS Gonna do it again...
Dickie is the most under-rated guitarist in the world. He is as good as anyone. He can play any style at a mastery level. People would often ask: "Who is better; Duane Allman or Derek Trucks"? I think Dickie was better than both of them.
@tothatextent I agree with you about the Derek Trucks thing. Personally, i hate Derek's playing. He plays the same fricken licks for every song. On the other hand, I wouldn't go saying Dickey is better than Duane. I mean he's definitely close but Duane was just a little better in my opinion. But Duane and Dickey are by far my 2 favorite guitarists of all time and yes, Dickey is way too underrated.
@holmeed yeah that comment was from a while ago before i found out how fricken amazing he is. I used to cut up his style all the time and i take it all back. Im really into his band now.
@tothatextent Okay, so you actually believe that Dickie Betts can play Allan Holdsworth at the same level? Really??? you actually BELIEVE that??? Really? or Bireli Lagrene? John Scofield? or Scott Henderson? Really?
@Chromatype I don't know if he can play like all those people you mention as of today, as he is getting up there in age. But, in his prime he was good, really good. He has amazing timing and great dexterity. Allan Holdsworth, in my opinion, has no sense of melody. I don't think that guy has ever written a song in his life, it is just improv bullshit. Now, I'm sure I couldn't play like Holdsworth, but I seriously wouldn't want to. I like songs, which Dickie was good at making.
I couldn't agree more, I love seeing late night jam sessions, especially with Dickey Betts. I've watched the other one, "Danny Blue", a million times. Does anyone know if Dickey or The Allman's recorded that song?
Dickey is simply one of the all**time great players. I don't listen to a lot of AB, but when I do hear one of their songs on the radio it always reminds me how great they were as a band and as individual players. Thanks for posting this--amazing to see Betts in this kind of uc&p setting!
Dan toler was and is a great guitarist.Played on the brothers of the Road era Allmans which I think was like, 1978 to 1982..... Nice clean country chicken pickin from Betts huh?
Ilove it! I'm 41yrs old, and my grandad ( god rest his soul), used to play this on his '61 stratotone thru his '58 fender tweed amp. Nice jazz w/good flatpickin. Duane was a good jazz guitarist, too. He used to pay the bills by being a session player- but you probably know that, huh? He's wasn't given credits on some albums, he said that didn't bother him at all. Ain't that somethin'... GREAT VIDEO audioglass. And thanks for the reply!
Are you kiddin'? I saw Betts about three years ago and everything I would have have wanted to hear ABB do - he wrote it. He defined ABB sound as much as Duane- probably one of the most underated guitarists of our time.
You hit the nail on the head brother.........Dickey was the heart & soul of that band after Duane passed........How soon they forgot he carried them for over 30 years with his songwriting and tone......I MISS DICKEY in the ABB but, he i still out touring doing what he does best
These guys are groovin. In reality .01% of guitar players can really get down like this -blazing over complex jazz chord changes. I like how the cat smokin a cig behind Dickey point at Dickey around 1:40, as if to say "Damn, this guy is fire!"
WOW!! Dickey is playing an IBANEZ Artist!!Thats RARE, still Mahogany equals tone, and with Dickey at the Helm, you will never suffer from tone deprivation, and good ole SOUTHERN FLAIR!! Be proud your a Rebel cause the SOUTHS Gonna do it again...
No Sir, The PRS Dickey played/plays has no Neck binding. Although some PRS Private Stocks do have neck binding, back when this was filmed PRS only had his regular Custom 24Guitars.That is if this was filmed after 85?It is an Ibanez Artist. G'Day.
audioglass, Thanks for posting!! The song is "The Preacher" by Horace Silver. Popular jam number in some circles. Search YouTube for "Jazzadlimitum - The Preacher" is a good example
I looked up Highway Call and it only had like six songs on it -none "The Preacher". Maybe I'm missing something. Is this song on the Highway Call album? swaters please respond, I would like to find it somewhere.
Thats why he is Dicky Betts! Listen to his chord changes,his comping, and his solo lines in between. You have to have a great memory to execute that in time, and in KEY . He does it perfectly. just think ,...he was there next to Duane all that time keeping it. Bless you Dickey.
WOW!!!! Dickey's playin an Ibanez artist there!! What a tone monster...Way superior guitar in my opinion. Ibanez collectors know just how awesome these are theyre sometimes called "les paul killers". Rock on Dickey!!!
The album is actually named "Highway Call" and is one of the best sounding recordings I've ever heard. Listen to it on a great sound system and you will be moved. I wish Dickie was still doing that old country stuff.
These Guys are having way to much fun. It reminds me of sitting around with my grandparents as one played the piano and the other the fiddle. I love it when people play together in an setting like this!
can someone please tell me the chord progression?
