I watched this video dozens of times @ 50%, 75%, 100% speed and finally got it! Your breakdown of each part made it possible. I can't thank you enough!

Great lesson..... I'm old enough to have seen the band play with Duane, Dickie, Greg, Butch, Jaimo and Berry.....they are the reason I play guitar today....what a band live....the best in the land.....thanks for keeping their shoes shined.....

I always loved this song when my dads group played it. I heard it in The Exorcist and i thought "That's perfect. That's the song i want to set the tone of all my movies." Like American Girl having that moment of levity in Silence of the Lambs.

I dont know if i could marry anyone who doesn't love the same kinds of music i do. She must be special.

Awesome job keep up the great job young 3

Thanks for doing your part to keep this band in the hearts and minds and ears of people everywhere. Absolutely love the Fillmore East live album. Thanks for the lesson, have a good one!

I had the wonderful pleasure of seeing the Almond Brothers band back in 1978 when I was 15 years old at the Fabulous Forum they played for more than three hours I remember Cher even came out and joined towards the end of the show!

My brother ran in the same circles as them. He was pretty good friends with Butch Trucks. My brother is 15 years older than I am and I’m 60 and he knew them back in 69. He knew them all including Duane.

RIP Dickey Betts

I'm 41 and I love the Allman Brothers

Growing up in Georgia and seeing the Allman Bros for the first time in 1969, following their careers and playing many of their jam songs in my own little bands...I totally agree with you. My son, a fine guitarist, cut his teeth on the band, he teaches Music Production in HIgh School and makes it a point to introduce his students to the Brothers so we are doing our part!!

You will become a better player if you listen to the Allman Brothers. Proven fact. Another killer job dude!

I'm with you brother. Growing up in the 60s and 70s I was listening to Zeppelin, Grand Funk Railroad and Black Sabbath. Once I heard ABB I was hooked for life. Elizabeth Reed, Les Brers In A Minor (I was playing bass at the time, Loved Barry Oakley), One way out, Trouble no more. Hell anything from their first few albums were garage band favorites. To be honest I never learned Ramblin Man or Midnight Rider . Don't really know why. Thanks for showing me the error of my ways.

I first heard this song when I was 6...fan forever more!

I have seen them 30 plus times and love them in every iteration. They played and wrote well from the 60s thru the 2000s (40 plus years of being at the top of their game. Any metal musician worth a damn would love them as every good guitar player digs the Allmans

I‘m 23 and discovered the allman brothers this year. Gotta say they have become my favorite band, love them even more Zeppelin and Black Sabbath now. I’m just a sucker for the blues I suppose. I learned blue sky, one way out, come and go blues and bougainvillea from Dickey Betts solo album, and made a huge step forward in my improvisation. Especially the major scale solos are just sublime. Soon I’ll focus on slide, but need a new guitar for that 😁

I have been wrestling with understanding how to play Dickie Bett's solos for a long time and you're the first KZfaq instructor that has explained it so I could understand it. Thanks from Texas

Blue Sky is one the most beautiful songs and one of my favorites to play. Learning that solo taught me everything I know about major pentatonic and a lot about harmonized double leads. Your wife and son together just can’t be wrong! Allman Brothers were an incredible force and an absolutely amazing band.

Thanks' for posting this. I'm sure like others, Dickey's passing has really reminded me what a unique player he was and has inspired me to learn more ABB.

Excellent Video. Mr. Betts was my favourite guitar player growing up. I was lucky enough to see the Allman Brothers several times when they came up here to Toronto. Jamming with my high school buddies and my brother tomorrow night, and I want to play One Way Out and You Don't Love Me and Whipping Post.... and Rambling man. Thanks Kelly.

Kelly you got my attention I'm 76-year-old professional drummer guitars my retirement Hobby Doobie Brothers almonds I grew up with it all thank you so much for keeping it alive do subscriber thank you

Great lesson! Thanks for posting. I also appreciated the commentary at the beginning, especially the part about the ABB not getting their due from the “classic rock” community. I did have a slightly different perspective to offer though. It’s not really accurate to say that the ABB never really had a resurgence. The post 89 Allman Bros were one of the top selling live bands of the Pollstar era and had several well received albums. Their set lists had old classics for sure, but were also heavily populated by songs from the post 89 period. They are, or were, popular with a younger crowd, but it was more with the jamband crowd, not necessarily the classic rock crowd. Their successor bands like Tedeschi Trucks Band and Govt Mule have done a great job of keeping their legacy alive.

I was watching Sammy Davis, Jr. years ago on the Johnny Carson show and Johnny asked Sammy. What kind of music did he like and Sammy said he liked all kinds of music as long as it's good music. And that's been my Mantra ever since. Thanks for the video I just found your KZfaq channel and. Don't stop.

I met Gregg and Dickie about 12-15 years ago. I’m a huge fan, so much so that I bought two Hammonds and piano to pay tribute to Gregg. I’ve played guitar for almost 40 years and can play almost every song. Great video!

Amazing tutorial!

Grew up with it all and saw them many times. A big thanks !

i low key love this dude

So effortlessly… man that sounds good..!

Love that you're flying the Allman's flag man!! Great lesson and pre-amble! I'm a Duane Allman guy, but Dickie is one of the most sorely underrated guitarists in history. Pegasus from Enlightened Rogues is a beauty that would slide under the radar at home too no doubt

THANK YOU for doing some of the Allman Bros.song(s)......great work KDA ! ! !.......glad to see the young ones getting into Southern Rock !

Gives me butterflies. I love this song! Lol

What a great song. Haven’t tried the solo before, so will give it a shot. Thanks for sharing!

Thx for the reply, Sir!

It took me three weeks, but I finally got it working smoothly. Thanks for the detailed lesson. It was crazy trying to figure this on out on my own.

When the band were asked in about 71 what their favourite music was they listed mainly jazz records like Miles, Coltrane and Herbie Hancock. You can hear this on their long jams on Fillmore East etc. Great video btw.

Awesome! Best quote I think I ever read was by Duane on Jaimoe. I’ll paraphrase of course but when asked how they found Jaimoe, Duane said… Man there was this cat down in Mississippi that played so weird… we didn’t know if he was any good or not! Love it.

It might be the happy sounding Dickie Betts major pentatonic scale that she likes. Its hard to not get happy listening to his upbeat major scale tunes....

love the commentary and lessons,, keep em comin sir…

I'm glad your family loves the ABB! Mine does, as well. Nice lesson, too!

Hey Kelly...you missed the mark on one point here (very rare indeed!). But the fact is, the ABB were extremely popular with the younger "jam band" crowd throughout the 90's and 2000's. With Derek Trucks, Oteil Burbridge and Warren Haynes in the band, they were a force...and very popular, selling out the Beacon Theater many nights in a row up until about 2014. 👍

Greatest American Rock Band…

Kelly, thanks for this wonderful lesson. I will say though, that the lead, with the exception of that tasty blues note is indeed in the G maj scale pattern, if you use the G form of the G maj scale which occupies about the same fret span of the Emin pentatonic.

Great song, thank you

Les Dudek was a session guitarist who played the harmony parts on the song. According to him they played it live together for the recording session.

You should play "little Martha" for your wife and children... Pure Duane & Dickey. It makes you wish it was a longer song, it's that good ! Thanx for the tut ! Oh, and have them listen to SRV's "Lenny". They will appreciate, and thank you for doing so. Sláinte

Such a good song, and such a good solo, listen to The Allman Brothers some already, but will definetly listen to more of their stuff after your recomendation

Love the story

we're still waitin' on the OUTRO solo! My birthday is coming up on the 19th and boy, a tutorial on the OUTRO solo would be a great gift to me that everyone can enjoy-arent those just the best kinds of birthday presents!

I love playing in major

GREAT TUTORIAL! DO YOU BY CHANCE HAVE THE TABLATURE TO THIS AVAILABLE? i LEARNED FROM OTHER TABLATURE AND I LIKE YOURS BETTER. THANKS AGAIN!

Really enjoying your channel, Kelly. We are of similar age, musical taste, and apparently spouse selection :)

Great Les Dudek solo.

Great vid K! Someone told me, way back, that this was actually Les Dudek solo...i said well, then Les sounds more like Dickey Betts than...Dickey Betts!

Thanks for the lesson I have it down but still only playing at about 3/4 speed. Will get better with more practice. Have you ever worked on the ending solo yet?

Nice work here.

Son is a smart man

Today's teenagers aren't listening to the Allman Bros....their stuff is 50 years old...it's their grandparents music.

Beautiful…what gadgets you are using sir?

I think both Duane and Dickey were session players before they formed the Band. Both were well-versed in Jazz and Blues. That's what (I think) makes their music sound so damned good. It's always got a really nice flow......

Hey Kelly! It seems your wife and son have excellent taste in music.. 😁

Are there any tablature transcriptions for the slow folk

Dicky is the greatest !!! ❤

I agree with all you said about ABB. So does my 28yro daughter since she 10. Also, do you plan to do some Derek Trucks lessons? The man reinvented slid guitar.

Hey dean, I love your lessons especially on Metallica and pink Floyd. I've been playing guitar for a few years but I don't know how to improvise because I've always hated the idea of having to memorise scales. is there any method you recommend or personally used to learn how to solo without tedious boring memorisations of scales?

Have you ever had a Jessica lesson? Would love to learn that. You, your wife and child have good taste. Thank you.

LOLOLOLOLOL - that's like my wife - she actually hates what she calls the "raaahhh raaahhh waaaahhh waaaahh" part of a song - i.e - the guitar solo. And of course that's what I play and love and I am like "how do you not think (this or that solo) is sooooo cool"????

So true. To dislike the ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND. Could be more than reasonable grounds for divorce. Tell her she just squeaked by with her proper praise. But don't be so hard on the kid. 😮🤐😁Another awesome lesson. Let's get his numbers up, people!

That isn't true!!! I do like lots of music you play and I know you are a guitar master, Lol! Love you cabeção

ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzwake me up when you start the lesson, selfie vid.

KDA -- Can you post the other Jimmy Page pre Zeppelin solo Puzzles -- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mb-nZ8qVvNjPdHU.html Thanks

Marshall Tucker is great to

Not for nothing, how is this a lesson if you don't say what frets your hitting

Holy f@#king shit! It took 7 1/2 minutes to get to the tutorial! This was my first visit to your channel and you can bet that I'll NOT be subscribing.

Man you talk way to much

Where is the transcript/tab???
