amazing grace - dobro by duane allman

[ag039cp]

Duane Allman did indeed play a dobro, however he played a round neck. This was recorded on a square neck dobro by Johnny Bellar in 2001, in Tennessee. The album name was "It is well with my soul" I would know. I was just sitting and talking with Johhny and the album is here in front of me.

Johnny Bellar is the pickers name

Johnny Bellar

[williamgdrew]

@robertdeltajohnson, , I stand corrected, although i ment to say his Dobro playing was not what got him famous , like he was known as a master Slide Guitarist,, Most of us that loved Duanes playing knew he was a fantastic studio guitarist of all forms of Southern guitarist , Slide , jazz , rock Blues, country, All the greats leave us way to early in life !!! Rock-On dude !!!!!!

[whitehorseen]

It is me playing this,,,its a dedicaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aarion,to the man that gave me the strenth,drive and imagination,,,thnx ,Skyman..............

[jmb3450]

Johnny Bellar is the one playing the song.

[whitehorseen]

@jmb3450 ,,,bull-shit

[williamgdrew]

@remis, good job dude this is Johnny Bellar, , Skydog was and is the best Slider , but was not know for any Dobro playing !!!!!!

[robertdeltajohnson]

@williamgdrew You've missed some great performances, he plays prolific dobro. He taught Clapton how to play during the Layla sessions. He used to play with John Hammond, jr. and Delaney Bramlett(Delaney & Bonnie). He also played dobro with the group, "Cowboy"(see the Duane Allman-"Please Be With Me" video) He was a master at Dobro, Slide and just plain straight up(no chaser)guitar. He was a disciple of Miles Davis, John Coltrane & King Curtis, you can hear their influence in his playing style...

@robertdeltajohnson Thank You! Now could you PLEASE go over to the other Duane Allman- amazing grace vid and let them know over there!!!. Named one of my sons DUANE. And this whole controversy has made me crazy. They insist it's J. Bellar. Listened to Bellar, seemed too close to call. However, I KNOW Skydog did a dobro version. They think all he played was slide. Try to tell them that that A-M-A- Z-I-N-G human being could play anything w/ strings attached to it. Would greatly appreciate it.!!

[Brocksongs]

sounds so much like jerry douglass

[cyberties]

@Brocksongs It does sound like Jerry Douglas, but I hear a lot of Kelly Joe Phelps, too.

[warr0950]

Regardless of who is playing it. Rock on Sky Dog!

[JimBozeman1956]

It's beautiful

[boonetrc]

this aint skydog

[DapperDanP]

Well Duane's my hero but if this isn't him my guess would be jerry douglas of union station

[rudyc1]

not duane....why are you trying to sell it as Duane, because it sucks and you think you can fool people?

[woodjoewood]

@rudyc1 lol

[reedjphoto]

This is Jerry Douglas, from Union Station

[bassbob42]

If this is duane, quote the album or time of recording

[INTENSETIM]

nothin like wat duane ever played

[tduross]

Not Duane

[IlyaKovalchuk1]

Duane was one of the most rightious dudes who ever lived; he never played any shit like that.

[guitarbastrd]

Beautiful piece - but it ain't Duane!

[HendrixClaptonSRV]

not Duane Allman, plain and simple.

[maconlaw]

I cannot say for sure, but it sounds like Jerry Douglas. His style was much smoother than Duane's. Duane's notes were raw & powerful. Both were (are) great - just different.

[Bopalena]

It's a beautiful job, but it's not Duane.

[Bonzoandthemadhatter]

little mrtha wasnt a rendition... that is a duane allman song to the core.... and this is most deifnitly NOT duane allman.

[celso610]

Maybe you are right Maestro,,, maybe it's not my all time favorite guitarist(Duane) I admire your being musically genius,,

[Bonzoandthemadhatter]

no genius... jsut fact. cheers!

[YoHuckleberry]

This is a great version of a great song but I don't think this is Duane. I'm pretty sure that it's not. But cool song anyway.

[ducketh72]

I downloaded this song years ago off the net and it was attributed then to Duane but I doubt it was him but who knows?

[jorakdmico]

who knows?

but this so special music, than also duane can play this

[richeddy]

Will someone please tell me where I can get the entire song, download, buy, beg, steal, anything, please ?

[uncasist]

@ducketh72

NO this is not Duane. He did not play the dobro like this. Check out Mean Old World. Much more passion and not as 'clean.'

[remisgonahunt]

@uncasist it's johnny bellar from album, all is well with my sole

[dalenacho]

beatifoul song

[DVI321]

This is not Duane Allman....although who whoever is playing this is absolutely magical. This a great post, I'd love to know who is really playing here. Kudos.

[jorakdmico]

are u sure?

[richeddy]

Dont know who is right, sure wish I knew and had the whole song.

[TurnOffTard]

@jorakdmico positive. it's good though

[emmoiv]

@jorakdmico

I agree that this is not Duane Allman. He didn't really play dobro.

[screeningmimi]

@emmoiv He 'really' did play dobro! It was Duane Allman on Cowboy 'Please Be With Me' just as others have said. It's just sad that we don't have more recordings, he played anything and everything by ear.

[Mastas999]

Duane Allman is incredable

[jorakdmico]

aaaaaaaamaaaaaaaazing graceee hoooo
