"Amazing Grace"

[Grovesgeo]

Jerry Douglas fools

[MrPEB1]

Don't think it's Duane. Production way to clean. Doesn't sound like anything else from that era.

[adstrbnc]

o. k.... i just stoped by..Duane would not have played it this way at all..i mean at all..it's an o. k. piece but a lot of slide players can do this rendition..no kidding ..I would love to hear him play it and by the grace of God I will cause he's with Jesus.and .you couldn't have got his talent anywhere else..!!

[lilwayneandi]

Sounds like Derek Trucks, for sure

[indaz1]

this is a guy named beller



[sdorr22]

I am pretty sure it is Tommy Emmanual. One of the best for sure

[EwolDJ]

Leo Kottke?

[leoacoustic]

Derek Trucks

[thereyougoantonio]

don't care if its really duane or not. this is still great. :)

[DragonsFuerth1]

GENIAL

[mikjomabre]

definitely not Duane.. sounds a little bit more like Ry Cooder

[digger7106]

D A ALL DAY LONG

[noreply45]

i'm man avid collector of the allman brothers and i have never heard this song by either allman bros i have to agree with the above beerisfuel this is not Duane allman its a good rendition of the song but not of allman quality and the time isn't right for the recording sorry man but props or the song just the same

[tamura1962]

ほんとに、デュアンが、弾いてる？

[simpson2221]

Duane died so young, that is not fair, i mean y dont 50 cent or akon or eminem.......and the other assholes keep to live, so that we keep hearing their shit

[SrVacaloca77]

this song make me cry...

[danthewineman1]

It's Duane

[PresidentJones]

it's Johnny Bellar

[rennyshelton]

I don't know who's playing, but I do know I like it. It's as beautiful a rendition of this song as I've ever heard. That includes Jeff Beck and Sarah Jory.

[FlatpickingNM]

sounds like Ry Cooder, check out his work in the movie crossroads.

[lsox2]

I remeber hearing this in the movie "The Long Riders"

[Django5198]

Not Duane but still beautiful enough to bring tears. Great slide guitar

[coopercity1]

its Duane, so beautiful..

[tomthefunky]

There's a place we lovingly take this and it's Father Duffy Square NYC. He's the faith of the the street. He's behind the fighting 69th. They made this town.

[cookie1236009]

sorry, but I agree...not Duane. good, but not the anointed one.

[dbordelon6549]

no its the play style of jesus

[dannachanna]

I think we would have heard this a long long time ago if it was an authentic Duane Allman piece, even if he did it on his front porch, someone woulda found a way to make a buck off it, so I agree, take it down if it's not for real him. If you want to hear beautiful Amazing grace like this one take listen to Jeff Beck's Amazing Grace....yeah this is beautiful but get it labled right for who it is.

[Jayhawkga]

Does anyone have solid evidence this isn't Duane? I'd bet he could play like anyone in any stile that he wanted.

[noreply45]

my bet it is Johnny Bellar, think Daune was long rested when this be set to song

[Jeummah]

It's a dobro, not a resonator guitar; it sounds a tad like early Jerry Douglas.

[0819Marlene]

P.S. Has it EVER accurred to any of you, that it could be the other way around. Since Duane was long since dead when Bellar's bluegrass album was recorded. How do know that the guy who edited Bellar's album, didn't like Duane's bluegrass version and steal his? Unless you are related to either, or you wre in the studio. He's played w/ two broken strings and kept goin'.

10 yrs. ago they gave a GRAMMY to 2 guys. Then found out they had been lip-sinking to someone else's music the whole time.

[FaceMussels]

This isn't Duane.

[mckendrick4046]

NOT DUANE. TEAR THIS DOIWN OR CORRECT IT, SUCKER.

[gatorindo]

nothing better.

[vicvic964]

so amazing love this song the he pickin  n slide the guitar wow bavo

[butch1515]

This performance is not the play style of Duane.

It's easy to understand.

[jnewberry1974]

Not Duane Allman. This is Johnny Bellar.

[kletzsch]

Johnny Bellar playing the Dobro in a great sensitiveness

[rockinredneck57]

@kletzsch Very nicely done as well. Def not a National Steel guitar but a dobro.

[impala327]

Not Duane.

Damnit. Get it RIGHT or get the fuck off.

[catoohey]

Since this isn't Duane - it would be nice if the posted would update the title.

[muggelbornnow]

@catoohey

You dumb??? Don't you know what the name of this song is? For your info it is called Amazing Grace!! He did get it right, and if you don't like it, lump it!!

[catoohey]

@muggelbornnow When I found the video - the title said it was Duane Allman. ALl the comments say that it is not Duane Allman - so that was what I was refering to - someone has updated the title since my comment.

And you might try using some common courtesy - I certainly intended no harm,

[thiago3dia]

R.I.P. 30 years without riffs and solos, but it don't remain mute.

[Django5198]

really really really really really really really really really really beautiful

[smokeysgirl52]

THIS IS SO PRISTENE!!! CAN YA FEEL THE LOVE HE HAS FOR THE LORD!!!?? I SURE CAN...R.I.P. DUANE....LOVE THIS TYSM FOR SHARING IT !!

[ricsauto]

! This is Johnny Bellar playing the Dobro, Have the CD I purchased from him in person, called "It is well with my soul" . I brought in person at Dave Foxx's Reso Summit in 2010 located in Brantley, Al. It is not Duane Allman's playing period. Johnny is a awesome dobro & guitar player. Thanks Rick

[ricsauto]

[thelastcowboy1988]

When i die, I want this song played at my funeral...

[ABB3000]

This is not Duane . But it is a beautiful rendition of Amazing Grace!

[ag039cp]

It was recorded in 2001 in Chapmansboro, Tennessee on Johnny Bellar's "It is well with my soul" album..

[WalksThroughLife]

Very nice

[benwigginsguitar]

That has got to be when he was laid up in the Shoals

[M28443]

Maybe Leroy Parnell ?? Very nice recording. Oh I see the mystery is solved ..Johnny Bellar! Nice !

[araeshora]

nevertheless, nice dobro Duane!

[LarryJohnson2010]

damn pretty

[mcleanartists]

Con job.

[warr0950]

Not Duane. Music is too clean sounding. And not his licks. Sorry, nice try, you got our attention.

[fzappa007]

This is Great Picture of Duane, but this WITH OUT A DOUBT .....NOT ..D.A.!!

[bloomersone]

Doing some research, I found out that this version of Amazing Grace is played by Johnny Bellar, not Duane Allman. You can hear it on You Tube, "Johnny Bellar Amazing Grace.

[bloomersone]

a1guitarcoach. If it's not Duane Allman playing, then who is it????

[Django5198]

fuck singers!!! Duane should just get on the field before every baseball game and fuckin' play this!!!! We really need him

[a1guitarcoach]

It's NOT Duane Allman, style and vibrato not his by a long shot. Beautiful performance non the less, and sweet to hear. But don't post what it's not!!

[lastdaysguitar]

Where did you get this recording?

[arandunagusimm]

I have to agree, this doesn't seem like Duane in style or sound.  It's a nice recording. It sounds like a square neck Dobro the way those grace notes are done.

[beerisfuel]

That's not Duane. Recording quality is far too good.. And I don't delieve anyone was producing an acoustic trem system in the late sixties. Vibrato's all wrong, and the slide is obviously metal, not coricidin. This tuning is open G, not his standard 'e'. Dreams was the only one in standrad. This is a beautiful, skillful rendition of the song, but it is NOT Duane.

[100crawma]

@beerisfuel you know your shit

[slowhandskydog1]

@beerisfuel This tune is beautiful. If its not Duane can you tell me who it is so I can try and find it to download it?

[rudyc1]

@beerisfuel Agree, it's not even close to how Duane would have played it. Funny how people want to pass something generic off as Duane's work. It's really not that good of a rendition quite frankly.

[12Radius]

@beerisfuel Your right to clean not so delta

like the masters would do it. amen DUANE COOL

[ebay9302]

And think of how old this guy was, and all the rest of the talent back then; they were kids!

[hwancno]

Amazing!!!!!

[Nonagaye1978]

Amen

[0819Marlene]

"Cowboys"-Please Be with Me vid.

He was a MASTER on dobro. Even taught Clapton.

[bbhunnicutt]

Johnny Bellar.

[OperaOfViolence]

STUNNING!

[our73nova]

Amazing

[roberetrodgers]

BEAUTIFUL SOUND AND RARE TO HEAR DUANE PLAYING THESE KIND OF SONGS HE CERTAINLY HAD AN EAR FOR THE SOUND OF GUITAR I AM SO GLAD HE USED HIS TALENT TO THE FULLEST IN THE SHORT TIME HE WAS HERE WE ALL MISS YOU DUANE I WILL USED THIS WHEN MY FATHER PASS ON TO PARADISE

[marcusatiliusregulus]

its derek idiots

[mcgaheefamily]

WHAT A PICKER

[danogzilla]

not duane. great though.

[danogzilla]

@0819Marlene it's johnny bellar. it doesn't even sound like duane. and you won't find me giving credit to clapton for anything that was duane's on layla and other love songs. why does love got to be so sad is by far the best lead on the album, and it's all duane.

[markcorley]

@danogzilla

I'm witchu babe. Big D OWNED that album after the first 3 songs.

[screeningmimi]

Sure sounds like Duane in places, maybe they played a duet?

[williamgdrew]

So people is this Duane Skydog Allman picking or Johnny Bellar ???? very great version for whom ever recorded it !!!!!

[eidolonTV]

Johnny Bellar from the album "It is Well with my Soul"
