dale

[rickpa79]

i've been playing for 40 yrs, all self taught, can't read a lick of sheet music. with your tutorials, you've shown me in one morning what i tried to figure out for all this time and couldn't.

Thanks so much for posting this easy to follow lesson . I've been following the Allman Bros. for as long as I've been playing (almost 40 years) and I've always wanted to learn this gem of a song ! Great job !! Tom

[tonedr]

hello sir, sounds like we might be around the same 'vintage' - sure appreciate you watching and i hope you enjoy adding it to your song list! All the best,

dale

[nearvana2003]

Hey mate! First came across your lessons on vanderbilly, always well done by the way, Started learning this today thanks for your tutorial. Any more suggestions for open e tuning? so far I got of course She talks to angels, If I laugh by Cat Stevens and now this classic Allman Brothers.

Cheers!

[tonedr]

appreciate you checking out the video and thanks for the kind post! Sounds like you are playing some great stuff - I don't play anything in open E. I wish you all the best with your music!

dale

[dwhealy54]

outstanding piece and lesson thanks much

[tonedr]

thanks for your kind post.....greatly appreciated!

all the best,

dale

[ytdfinke23]

I very much enjoyed that. Started to learn when I was a kid and now I'm picking it up as a 37 yr old beginner. Do you recommend personal lessons or something else?

Thank you again for the fine music.

Daniel

[tonedr]

hello Daniel - thanks for your kind words on the video & I hope you enjoy playing it! I would recommend private lessons at least for awhile perhaps to have some feedback. All the best,

dale

[dmgermano1]

I guess that is one of the pieces every guitarist wants to play! There are so many versions on Youtube. Yours is the best I've found. Love that guitar too! Who made it?

[tonedr]

it is a great fingerstyle classic that i waited over 30 years to get worked up! Thanks for yoru kind post - the guitar is a Collings C-10. All the best,

dale

[dmgermano1]

Love it! Studying your playing to come up with a short version for harp. Just for a response to all the wise guys at the gigs!

[tonedr]

haha - that will be great! Thanks for watching,

dale

[seniortac0]

Wow, this is a great cover.

Nice job.

How long have you been playing for?

[tonedr]

thanks for you kind words......i've been playing for almost 35 years now - all the best!

dale

[AJBluesman]

Beautiful playing. Well everything's beautiful about this video. Its crystal clear too ! Thank you for putting it up :)

[tonedr]

Your kind post is greatly appreciated - thanks for taking your time to listen!

dale

[AJBluesman]

@tonedr Thank You. Its an honor to call you my friend. I sent you a private message. Please have a look. Thanks again Dale :)

[mirja822]

Very nice.

[tonedr]

thanks for watching!

[birddoggarton]

well done.

[tonedr]

thanks for watching - all the best!

dale

[westfald]

@tonedr, there's a lot of controversy whether the track was played capoed on the 2nd fret, in open E, or open D. Is there a definitive answer?

[tonedr]

i'm sorry but i don't have it - wish i could help. My best guess it open D capoed because it falls so well under the fingers but that's just my guess.

thanks for the post, all the best,

dale

[samnninty]

Fantastic version! Are you using any picks or thumb picks? Or are you just using your fingers to pick? Sam

[tonedr]

hello Sam, hope all is good sir! Thanks for taking your time to listen - i use fingernails.

keep pickin,

dale

[torisdad1]

I swear, just when I think you won't amaze me again, there you go!

Beautiful, just beautiful...

[tonedr]

sure appreciate you watch - great old tune isn't it!

your friend,

dale

[peaceric]

your guitar has a great sound

mind telling me what kind it is?

[tonedr]

it is a Collings C-10 with mah/adi wood combo. Thanks for taking time to watch,

dale

[elevn7]

Excellant cover of a great song.

wtg Dale!

[tonedr]

i agree - one of my favorite acoustic songs ever. Sure appreciate you taking time to hear it again!

best,

dale

[toneocaster]

Brother Duane is smiling down from Heaven! Great job!

[tonedr]

that is a very kind thought - only on the other side will i have any chance of playing like him! Thanks so much for watching and i hope all is good,

dale

[Vapor40]

Awesome once again!

[tonedr]

sure appreciate you watching........hope all is good!

dale

[xhippodynamitex]

this is awesome, fantastic rendition!

but why not just tune to open E? my guitar doesn't seem to suffer any different by omitting the capo.

[tonedr]

thanks for watching and your kind feedback is sure appreciated from a 'fellow LM player!" Hope all is good,

dale

[magikbee]

Nicely done!

I think I'm going to post a better audio version of mine too.....

[tonedr]

i think you should! Great old tune and i'm glad you cover it.........thanks for your kind words,

dale

[Moon0654]

Dale, Great playing...I love this tune. How about breaking the song down and giving a lesson of how the song is played. I've picked up some of it by looking at the video but it sure would be nice if you could give all the UTube viewers a step by step lesson. Thanks for all the posts! Moon

[tonedr]

hello Moon....appreciate the request and i'll give it some thought. Thanks for watching,

dale

[lesjensen42]

dale

[dturbide]

EXCELLENT!!! Great tone!

[tonedr]

thanks so much for watching......really appreciate you kind words and i hope life is good!

dale

[tookermel]

Hey, Dale! Awesom playing, as always. Does that room have hardwood floors? I hear really good reflection in there...

[tonedr]

You know the room has carpet.......the recording of this guitar in the video seemed to come out with a bit different tone. I am using different strings......i hope it was okay. Really appreciate you watching!

dale

[Dicedrum]

Is it wrong to enjoy a cover more than the original. Great job man. Rock on.

[tonedr]

sure appreicate you giving this a listen!! Hope all is good,

dale

[BoeckmannLudwig]

I really like this tune - great playing, buddy.

Martin

[tonedr]

thanks my friend.......hope you are great!

dale

[filemen2]

Nice! I wonder what model guitars were used

on the original recording, and what Duane

would think of the amazing variety of high quality

guitars being made nowdays.

[tonedr]

that is a great question......it almost sounds like a resonator guitar. The recording seems to have a lot of highs. Why do the good ones go too soon......sure appreciate you watching!

dale

[archambault65]

Excellent, excellent performance. How anyone could rate this less than 5 **** is beyond me.

[tonedr]

i really appreicate you watching and thanks for the kind rating! Hope this finds life good sir!!

best,

dale

[redavide1]

You gotta love that tune . . . great job!

[tonedr]

it is a great tune and i love your recording of it so much! Thanks,

dale

[kidderminsterbro]

That is how to coax wonderful sounds out of a guitar.

Way to shake it at the end.

Just a joy.

peace,

rich

Rich.....hope all is well sir! Thanks for taking your time to give this a look. Your friend,

[denman1953]

Superb my friend! Always loved this tune Dale and haven't heard it for years. The harmonics were niceeeee. Thanks for sharing that, man. I've come to find out that anything you do is great, despite what your modesty might tell you. You have a fan and friend for life.

Peace,

Denny

[denman1953]

Is "Maybe I'm Amazed" possibly in the works for the future? (hint hint hint)

[tonedr]

man i do LOVE that tune.....i will be doing some thinking on on that one!!

[tonedr]

hey Denny,,,,..,man you are so kind to watch, i really appreciate it sir! I am so glad we can share and discuss music together....i really appreciate your kind words...i'm thankful for our friendship!

talk soon,

dale

[CluvVenny]

Great performance Dale! Believe it or not I've been practicing this song as well, and I hope to include it on my own version of this as well. Its always been a favorite of mine from Duane Allman (R.I.P)

[tonedr]

that is great to hear....I will really enjoy hearing you play this tune sir! Really appreciate you giving this a listen.....your friend,

dale

[samgc14]

Do you really think it makes a difference playing it in a different key with out the capo?

[denman1953]

You can do it in any key you like, but the tuning is not standard and the song in my opinion wouldn't be right w/o the tuning :-)

[tonedr]

i agree with Denny, the tuning is for me the most important thing - capo 2 or open both work for me.....really appreciate you watching!
