Duane Allman is rightfully acknowledged as one of the greatest and most influential electric slide guitarists ever, and his incredible recording of this Blind Willie McTell classic, from The Allman Brothers band: Live at Fillmore East, is a must-learn for slide enthusiasts.
Duane usually played slide in an open E tuning (low to high: E B E G# B E), using a glass Coricidin bottle on the ring finger of his fretting hand. "Statesboro" is played in the key of D so most of the soloing revolves around the 10th position, moving between 10th and eighth, as well as up to 13th position. Pay close attention to the pick-hand: I use my fingers to pick (like Duane) which helps one achieve more clarity in the notes as opposed to using a pick.

@jeffmo55 nah mate its in the key of d guitar is tuned to open E

[jeffmo55]

I'm confused I have tuned my guitar to an open D and the licks you are playing are on the 10th to the 12th frets.........where am I going wrong here?

'that F note (2.44)' is of course the FLATTED 3RD - one more example of its importance even in slide guitar tuned to an open major 3rd -- I would also point out that Duane's Filmore East recording of this song stands as the one great example of electric slide guitar--Duane died without even making a suitable studio recording of the classic song, and unfortunately, little has been advanced in the field of electric slide since.
