The great Duane Allman said "I'm the famous guitar player, but Dickie is the good guitar player." That should be good enough for anyone.

Dicky is so under rated as a guitar player and song writer. He is one of the true greats of our time!

People that say southern rock is just heavier country doesn’t know what they’re talking about. If anything Southern Rock is more Jazz and soul based than country. Allman Brothers- Liz Reed, Hot Lanta, Les Brers and so many more. Charlie Daniels Band- No Place Left To Go, Birmingham Blues, etc. Marshall Tucker- Southern Woman. 100% jazz. People need to educate themselves.

Met Dickie just after leaving ABB. Told him that Highway Call is one of my favorite albums of all time. He really appreciated my love of his relatively unknown labor of love. So, we talked for a long time about the guitar. If you approach famous players and tell them you are a guitarist , and how much they influence your playing, they talk to you in a totally different level than if you just tell them you're a big fan.

Can you imagine being Dickie Betts and standing in front of Les Paul and playing jazz!? What a great musician!

Dickey Betts was one of the greatest guitarists ever. Classy and respectful to the great Les Paul. I wish I had seen him live. Rest in peace.

Dicky Betts is by far the most innovative (American) Les Paul player I have ever heard ! I'm not talking about speed , technique or effects...... no I'm talking about the late 60's plugging in to a Marshall amp with no effects , the pick-up switch position in the .......middle ,volume up and making that mahogany in the L.P. ska-week like an old horn! He could make that guitar sing and cry! It's great to see him get his dues from Les Paul himself ! Never under estimate an original Allman Brother (founding member).......Peace and Love always..........

Rip Dickey Betts. Thank you for the 55 years I have listened and love your music

A master class in Dynamics...taste...rhythm playing...soloing and letting the music breath...also letting others shine as well. Dickie Betts is great!

I’ve seen Dickey multiple times live, extremely underrated. He is fantastic.

Dickey Betts. A singular talent. He shall be missed, rest in peace man.

I had the GREAT honor of meeting Les, and shaking his hand. And years later, I own a gorgeous Les Paul.

Have always loved Dickey’s playing. So melodic and pure.

Dickey is one of my favorites! The way he could capture pure joy and happiness in a song is unbelievable.

That Liz Reed jam was one of the best I’ve ever heard. It hit me hard

If not for the Allman Brothers, I would have had to listen to noise crap. At 46 years old, I am so grateful for these people and the music these artists created. My soul is whole. Thank you Allman's and Les Paul.

Les Paul is standing with his hand under his chin. Thinking my name is on that luscious sounding instrument. Dickey Betts sure can make it sing.

No flash, noise, tricks, posing or gimmicks.

bless you ol boy what a band in heaven. god bless all who were moved by this guys music

Im glad his son and gregs are carrying on the tradition
