Can't believe seeing this kid. I lived across the street from Dickey in north Sarasota on the bay, Built a ramp with him for his bicycle, and evidently he lived through it.
Who the heck gave duane betts any dislikes. This is one of the nicest kids playing music today I don't understand who the heck would even think of doing that
Sometimes TH-cam puts the two thumbs so close to each other I end up hitting the down button. I quickly hit the up after that happens but often wonder if it was recorded as a down…
Seems like a genuinely humble & articulate young man . He has some pretty big shoes to fill but give the kid a break and don’t pigeonhole him. And he sure sounds like his dad ! I’ve been a fan of the Bro’s since Idlewild South.
He is a GREAT PLAYER! Really enjoy Allman BettsBand. Duane’s modest and has an amazing future ahead. Due to his years in and around the business Duane knows how to fit perfectly into the confines of a band and showcase his ability. I hope he and Devon are committed to years of playing and building their own Legacy.
Wait... Duane Betts... and Devin Allman... holy smokes I gotta go see these guys. Dicky, Duane and Greg made the soundtrack of my youth 50 years ago. Many amazing memories. Good vibes always. The OG Allman Bros made some of the best music of all time. To see their progeny thrive is wonderful! Thanks to NormansRareGuitars for this great interview. God bless all y'all.
Ive so much respect for the allman brothers band and dickie Betts is right up there with Clapton and Hendrix his style is unique and unforgettable I’ve been a fan since the 70s and will continue to be so dickie and the allman bros band are as American as apple pie and I love them and it’s good to hear dickie is gigging.
Great interview Norm wow , Duanes playing brought back memories of sitting in the Fillmore East for the saturday night midnight show ( Albert King , J Giles Band and the Allman Brothers Band )where they recorded the amazing Allman Brothers Band Live and the Fillmore. His dad along with Duane Allman ,Greg Allman and the band also with 2 drummers... so amazing I was blown away. I was just a young dude then but the memory has lasted a lifetime. Im sure Duane Betts will have a huge future making music for us to groove on to making the new cherished memories ... cant wait to see him and his band.
RC ANDERSON Used to be. His phrasing is, even if they don't know it, locked into every American guitar player's DNA. Drugs flattened his ability to turn hooks inside out
I'm not defending drugs he 75 years old. You lose a lot of ability as you get older I know LOL. There are many reasons for it. Drugs are the least. You lose your motor skills. Long live sex drugs and rock and roll.
I played with a band that opened for Dickie Betts at (The Coach House southern Ca) I had a chance to speak with Duane and the band outside during sound checks early in the day. He's a really nice young player, friendly and down to earth. It was a pleasure to open for Dickey and to meet his son. Play on brother Los Angeles
The Allman Brothers are still one of the most iconic classic Southern Rock bands ever, they're such a great band. Also isn't Duane in that band Dawes, I think?
He reminds me so much of Dickie .. His mannerism are identical. The way he scratches the side of his face... Proud he's coming into his own. I know he wants to be his own musician /person & that's great just remember to throw us old asses an Allman Brothers bone every now & then! ✌🏻 ♡
Nice. I just listened to Bougainvillea. God Bless All you guys and the Great Allman Brothers Band! I grew up with them and got sober on their music in the early 90's.
Its fantastic to see the younger generation of such great musicians following the older influences of parents. I live in Lakeland Fla i hope i can see you live someplace!
Norm you mentioned Bobby Caldwell who I take it is the same great singer that recorded "What You Won't Do For Love" in I think 1979... That song, the first time I heard it I shot right down to the local record store and bought the album...! Still, to this day, one of my all time favorite songs...!
hats off to this man can hear and i hear a lot of almond in his guitar and man that's cool can't wait to hear some more and i am sure i will i see a light
Norm sells rare, vintage guitars. He just mentioned casually what was off about the guitar once it was converted back to a conventional Strat. That's what he's expected to do. He certainly wasn't being critical.
Probably all Strats of this age have been modified at some stage . In 1970 no one knew that Clapton's Strats , which were modified by the way , would sell for over a million .
You can tell when a guitar dealer talk because its about $$$$$$ Norm never misses the opportunity to show off his all omnipotent knowledge about everything on someone else guitar Instead of saying “Wow its cool you have your dads bitchin strat “ Be immediately points out whats not original Douche
Man, he sounds and looks very much like his pops. Not a big Brothers fan but I think Dickey Betts is a very underrated guitar player unless you are a Allman Brothers fan, his solos were very melodic and Duane was probably the best slide player there ever was.
That was so good!, Dicky Betts´Son! his dad was the most amazing mellodic guitar players ever, such amazing ear for rythm and mellody (rumbling man anyone?). I wish him all the best, keep that name alive. Cool dude
Your the man Norman!! Thanks for the information on the hardtail stratocaster.. BEAUTIFUL guitar 🎸 didn't realise that they made them that way in 1954 /1955.. Very nice!! You are a fountain ⛲ of knowledge
Your dad Dicky bits was the one that made that van sound good but the way he picked and played Gregg Allman Come on that organ and piano awesome what a crew
The entire world owes Dickey Betts a handshake and a thank you. A sincere thank you.
Amen
That’s a fact
That stutter step lick of his is one of my favorite ones of all time.
Ive seen Duane play live twice. Looks so much like his dad its crazy.
Can't believe seeing this kid. I lived across the street from Dickey in north Sarasota on the bay, Built a ramp with him for his bicycle, and evidently he lived through it.
Who the heck gave duane betts any dislikes. This is one of the nicest kids playing music today I don't understand who the heck would even think of doing that
It's probably for Norm. He's a bit of an idiot.
@@JohnBarrow1961 to be what is so bad about Norm
asssssholessss thatsss whooo! jealous miserable people!
Just people wasting time trolling, trying still to divide people....
Sometimes TH-cam puts the two thumbs so close to each other I end up hitting the down button. I quickly hit the up after that happens but often wonder if it was recorded as a down…
It' a beautiful thing to see Dickie's boy carrying on the family name.
Mr. G. Dickey
Duane Betts seems like fine, humble young man. Not easy with that name.
Certainly more likable than that darn Dickie Allman is.
Been booking bands for many years but the joy of meeting people like Duane made my 2018.
He and his sisters are all quality human beings
Rock and Roll royalty but seems humble and looking to make his own way.
Hes a great guy
Seems like a genuinely humble & articulate young man . He has some pretty big shoes to fill but give the kid a break and don’t pigeonhole him. And he sure sounds like his dad ! I’ve been a fan of the Bro’s since Idlewild South.
Nice playing. Same licks and the use of the scale like his dad. Love it. Best of luck young man. Your dad is one of my favorite players.
Duane is very talented and I have been lucky to have watched him perform many times and met his Dad at a show once. Keep Rockin!
The Allman Brothers - THE BEST LIVE BAND EVER! Keep the legacy going, Duane!
Ever heard of a little bar band called the Grateful Dead?
3 Card Monty not a chance cream were the best by a mile
Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac, Bon Scott era AC/DC
Love the Bros but they ain't got nothing on the Good Ole Grateful Dead
Fact. Dead could hang but weren't on quite the same level. No need to bring up any other band
Good to hear Dickey's doing well. A legend.
I have gotten to hang out with Duane ...he is a great son ..and he is worthy of both names and his Dad's legacy !!!
Ever since I saw the video of The Allman Brothers playing Blue Sky with Jack Pearson I’ve been in love with that strat
So glad he's keeping the legacy going. Rock on man!
R.I.P. Dickey Betts! He was a true master. Duane seems like a very humble cat.
He is a GREAT PLAYER! Really enjoy Allman BettsBand. Duane’s modest and has an amazing future ahead. Due to his years in and around the business Duane knows how to fit perfectly into the confines of a band and showcase his ability.
I hope he and Devon are committed to years of playing and building their own Legacy.
Amen, bro. Duane and Devon have what it takes to be stars in their own right.
Wishing Duane Betts all the best!
Duane Betts wow what a name.
He will spend the rest of his life explaining it to audiences who don't know.
Nice problem to have.
Guitar ocd and also a sad reflection on those who don't know!
Dickey Betts will always be the number 1 guitarist to me.
Awesome to see his Son play
Duane seems so levelheaded and such a nice guy!!!!!! Very happy for him!!!
I’ve never seen an interview w Duane. Seems like a cool, well grounded young dude.
Duane, your daddy played in the Allmans with my dear old friend, Berry Oakley, may he rest in peace. Keep the flame burning young man!
wait but did dickey name him in honor of duane allman? or is that a popular southern name lol
@@leahflower9924 He is named after Duane Allman
Wasn't Mr. Oakley their drummer?
@@jeffalbillar7625 Bass man
@@jerrymcgeorge4117 thank you
Keep it going Duane Betts...and Devon....we need it now more than ever...for the luv of music!! Ya man!....
Beautiful..I can see his father in him.. brings tears to my eyes..Love you Dickie.
Strat tone is just right. Long live your music and good for Norm to introduce your stuff.
ALLMAN BROS BAND. FILLMORE EAST. BEST LIVE RECORDING EVER !
Puff...la mejor grabacion en vivo.que delicia.que orgasmos..lo escucho muy a menudo.
Wait... Duane Betts... and Devin Allman... holy smokes I gotta go see these guys. Dicky, Duane and Greg made the soundtrack of my youth 50 years ago. Many amazing memories. Good vibes always. The OG Allman Bros made some of the best music of all time. To see their progeny thrive is wonderful! Thanks to NormansRareGuitars for this great interview. God bless all y'all.
I hear that sweet southern sound that hits you right in the gut coming from those licks.
Good luck to you kid.
It's GREAT TO SEE THESE KIDS OF THE OLD ROCKERS ARE CARRYING ON THE TORCH!!
Ive so much respect for the allman brothers band and dickie Betts is right up there with Clapton and Hendrix his style is unique and unforgettable I’ve been a fan since the 70s and will continue to be so dickie and the allman bros band are as American as apple pie and I love them and it’s good to hear dickie is gigging.
Saw him live in Indiana before they ventured to Europe this year. They are keeping the name alive and definitely deserve some respect.
These old 50s' or 60s' les paul headstocks are the best. Let's don't talk about the LP itself 😍😍😍
Love his EP fantastic musician, looking forward to seeing him and duane allman in September
Thanks for coming in and listening to me talk Duane. 😂
Rest in peace Dickey. What a hell of a player and songwriter
Look at 8:53 lmao..that guy nearly trips over the guitar stand. Imagine all of the guitars falling over like dominos😂.
I saw that and WINCED hard! Hahahahah !
would have only put the prices up for more "authentic" age....
Can't wait to see Duane in October. Allman Betts Band, these guys rock. Glad to hear Dickey is doing well. Wish him well.

Glad to see him following his fathers path. I live nearby in Tampa area, I hope to see him perform sometime.
Great interveiw. Thanks duane.
Very cool.I will check out Duanes stuff .I was digging what he was playing .Nice to see he is keeping on the tradition .Pop must be proud of em.
Dickie Betts is one of the best guitar players ever, like top 15 in my view.
RC ANDERSON I agree he's not a riffer very melodic unlike myself LOL.
RC ANDERSON Dickey

It's just like any other profession at 75 it's a struggle.

Andrew Pappas He used to be a touring guitarist with then
He reminds me so much of Dickie .. His mannerism are identical. The way he scratches the side of his face... Proud he's coming into his own. I know he wants to be his own musician /person & that's great just remember to throw us old asses an Allman Brothers bone every now & then! ✌🏻 ♡
Wow, he plays with amazing nuance and timing. Special player.
Nice. I just listened to Bougainvillea. God Bless All you guys and the Great Allman Brothers Band! I grew up with them and got sober on their music in the early 90's.
Both beautiful instruments !
What a cool guy. His dad is one of my all time guitar hero’s.
Thats special..Alman & Betts back on atage...with a fresh new heartbeat...wirh yourh golden youth on their side...oh wow...im a fan
Its fantastic to see the younger generation of such great musicians following the older influences of parents. I live in Lakeland Fla i hope i can see you live someplace!
I saw Duane Betts live a couple summers ago and man is he legit. He can really play. Go see him if you have the chance!
He's got that Betts trade mark look and also a fine player his Dad must be proud !
Got see Duane Betts, Dickie betts and Devon allman in Macon Georgia what a great show would love to see them again
Saw Devon and Duane 2 nights ago, Great Show! Duane was playing that Strat. Hey Norm ask the question and LET HIM ANSWER!
He's really bad for it. Keeps interrupting
I'm glad that so many rock stars' children inherit their talent and looks!
He sounds like his dad
Southern rock lives
Thanks for this
I live in Macon Georgia and we just had an all blues festival here with Bettye Lavette and Larry McCray. Good stuff
Old wood + old parts = new magic!
Sounds beautiful!
Saw his father play that Strat. Cool seeing it here. Seems like a nice young man.
Nice! I saw Dickey play that strat on July 4, 1997 at the Georgia International Horse Park show in Conyers Georgia!
Caught Devon and Duane at West Hampton Beach NY awhile ago. Great show!
Wow, Duane didn't fall far from the tree. I LOVED the sound of that conversion Les Paul. The hard tail sounded like a Tele to me. Both are awesome!!
Dickey Betts was also a West Palm Beach resident as well. I saw him hanging out at a bar on Singer Island.
Great to hear and see.
As always very informative. Love this channel
Duane is such a good dude
That fender ! Wow hear that sound.....great to see family keep it going,
Duane & Dickey we saw in GW Holiday 2005 issue. Great sound.
What a nice talented young man, was a pleasure to watch!!!
I'd take that Strat! Love the hardtails. I wouldn't care one bit, if the pickup covers and the pickgaurd aren't stock. Wouldn't bother me at all!👍😎🎸🎶
Norm you mentioned Bobby Caldwell who I take it is the same great singer that recorded "What You Won't Do For Love" in I think 1979... That song, the first time I heard it I shot right down to the local record store and bought the album...! Still, to this day, one of my all time favorite songs...!
Good to see lil Duane ✌️
Dickey is one of my favorite guitarist.
Love the Strat’s tone
hats off to this man can hear and i hear a lot of almond in his guitar and man that's cool can't wait to hear some more and i am sure i will i see a light
WOW, he looks just like his father did in the 70's ! Seems like a very nice young man too.
Apparently he's 42, pretty impressive right?
When did the Allman Bros become the "Almond Bros"??????
right after they changed their name from The 3 Musketeers
Sounds like he says ahmen
Scotts man when they changed their name from the Almond Joy. Back then they used to call Dickie Betts " Butter Fingers "
almond joy or mounds? wtf ?
That's my band! The Almond Bros
A real gentleman,,, and true Florida Boy ! Wish him nothing but the best ! 😆✌🕇💕
Wrong pick guard, wrong saddles, wrong covers? C'mon Norm , it's a Strat that sounds and plays great! Not perfect vintage, But a Strat, none the less!
Norm sells rare, vintage guitars. He just mentioned casually what was off about the guitar once it was converted back to a conventional Strat. That's what he's expected to do. He certainly wasn't being critical.
"Wrong pickguard, wrong string retainer, wrong saddles..."
It was owned by Dickey Betts.
"It's perfect."
agree, he didn't need to pour all that negative sauce on the thing. his mind is "how could i make the most money off this?"
Probably all Strats of this age have been modified at some
stage . In 1970 no one knew that Clapton's Strats , which
were modified by the way , would sell for over a million .
You can tell when a guitar dealer talk because its about $$$$$$
Norm never misses the opportunity to show off his all omnipotent knowledge about everything on someone else guitar
Instead of saying
“Wow its cool you have your dads bitchin strat “
Be immediately points out whats not original
Douche
You know they are good when Norm shouts them out.
Thanks Norman great interview the the son of one of the brother.
The interview was going great, really interesting stories but I felt deeply in laugh at 8:54 when the guy stumbles on the back 😂
Man, he sounds and looks very much like his pops. Not a big Brothers fan but I think Dickey Betts is a very underrated guitar player unless you are a Allman Brothers fan, his solos were very melodic and Duane was probably the best slide player there ever was.
Wishing your dad a speedy recovery!
That was so good!, Dicky Betts´Son! his dad was the most amazing mellodic guitar players ever, such amazing ear for rythm and mellody (rumbling man anyone?). I wish him all the best, keep that name alive. Cool dude
Javier Garcia do you mean rambling man?
Your the man Norman!! Thanks for the information on the hardtail stratocaster.. BEAUTIFUL guitar 🎸 didn't realise that they made them that way in 1954 /1955.. Very nice!! You are a fountain ⛲ of knowledge
Happy New Year Norman and Dwayne
Do your own thing Duane !!!
Sweet interview, good luck Dwayne , thank you for sharing.✌️
Your dad Dicky bits was the one that made that van sound good but the way he picked and played Gregg Allman Come on that organ and piano awesome what a crew
RIP Dickey 😔
This was one of my favorite Norman's videos. Very interesting. I had no idea Daune and Blake Mills were childhood friends. Very cool.
Duane Betts is awesome
Wow talk about making what should have been a great conversation sound cheap. Duane, you did a damn good job being articulate and keeping it rolling.
Man, the Fender has so much character.
Would love to play that.
Great guy! Will see Duane in Hamburg in August with Devon Allman!
Saw them in New Bedford Ma. The sow was awesome.
I had pictures or Dicky when they did the small clubs around 84 ish . You can totally see his Father.
Those guitars in the shop are rare everywhere else in the world except for in that shop. Norm's got 'em everywhere!
