Best Duane Allman Lick

If one and only one lick could be associated with Duane Allman, it would no doubt be this one. Here's one of the longest examples of this lick that Duane played on many tunes.

hey, TBird5790, I totally agree with you as far as talking about the music, but why the name-calling? Here's a guy, skydogsys, who derives a great deal of joy from Duane Allman and wants to share that joy with the world, and has distilled it down to that one guitar lick. Now, this ain't the laws of physics; this is one fellow human expressing his heart-felt subjective opinion, so why call him a moron or puny-minded? No need for this; is your goal to convince or offend?

trishandwill is corrct guys...sorry

This is boring, apart from the end. There are way better examples of his playing, e.g., the intro to Statesboro Blues on Live at the Fillmore East!

This is good, but right at 7:45 into Boz Scagg's tune, 'loan me a dime' you'll hear one of the most original guitar solos ever played. Duane is on guitar. Of all my favorites that died early, I wonder most about what Duane would have gone on to do. If that doesn't get you then listen to 'loan me a dime' at 9:47 and point me towards any other guitarist improvising like this during his time. He's one of the most original voices I've ever heard on the guitar. Unreal!

Love the hammond chords in the background as well. They sound as if they're stroking your ears!

I'll go with "Dreams", thanks.

That's the end of his solo on "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" and it's about the best finish ever. You might have put the whole solo up so people could take it in context, but it's all good. And people, if you don't agree, suggest an alternative, as some of you have. Save the negativity for politicians or someone who deserves it.

I hate licks like this, they're extremely boring and hard to listen to.

@TBird5790 just like eric's woman tone? eddie's brown sound? satch's scream?

My personal favorites are the times Duane and Dickey trade fours on "One Way Out" and when Duane does the same with Eric Clapton on "Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad?".
