That's cool we all ... ( 3 weeks ago by barimando)

That's cool we all make mistakes. I still think its Ab B C but it doesn't matter. I have had a recent epiphany about this solo you might find interesting. In the beginning of the solo, before he takes out the slide, it sounds like he quotes "My Favorite Things" which is cool, but, the phrase that we have been discussing sounds like he is also quoting "Acknowledgement" from Love Supreme. Listen to it and you will hear what I'm talking about.

Hmm.. So much for those who say Derek is only a Duane clone. Awesome phrasing. Always interesting. Not repetitive. I can envision a Coltrane sax or Miles Davis horn in his phrasing. Simply a superb 'new' guitarist starting out...

Hes amazing when hes NOT using the slide, and when that thing goes in i just melt. Amazing.

Derek's doing that ... ( 1 week ago by gate243)

Derek's doing that on purpose, he didn't "miss the key". He's quoting saxophonist John Coltrane from the song "Acknowledgment" off the album A Love Supreme. What Trucks is doing (and one of many things Coltrane is famous for) is playing a line, and then playing it again up a major third (two whole tones higher). This creates a cycle: after moving up a major third three times, you're back in the original key. I think Derek did a great job with it.

btw, the comment ... ( 1 week ago by gate243)

btw, the comment below is a response to Bucetinho, who said that between 3:08 and 3:16 Derek was missing the key

MY GOD! i've never heard anything this awesome in like 2 years!

It's definitely not ... ( 1 week ago by IncaMayaBand)

It's definitely not straight dorian. He's jumping back and forth between that and natural minor with the aforementioned chromatic ideas. In the first 5 seconds of the solo he's already hit a natural 6th.

Shit, I grew up during the time of the Allman Brothers heyday with Duane and Berry Oakley. I was totally in to them but this guy is a sick, sick guitar player.

We need 'fresh' new guitar heros - Derek is one of the best.
