His humility is incredibly refreshing, and it has everything to do with what makes him such a great guitarist. It's all about the music for him. Ego never gets in the way. And that's a rare thing. Love him!
I Love this interview!! This is just too cool. This interview is so real, and I just can't say enough I am amazed more people haven't seen/found/liked this video! ...wow, just too cool. So much respect to Derek and Susan.
TTBFromTheRoad I'm really touched by their Les Paul story. Them being on stage with Les Paul, Him playing guitar and Susan singing and their son, 6 months old at the time there with them. Susan and Derek are such beautiful people, I really admire and respect them so much and I hope one day that myself and my family can have the privilege of hearing them play In person.
Tyler Pettit I know it. They're me and my family's absolute favorite musicians. Its definitely my dream to see them with my husband and our daughter. If my husband wasn't sick with lung disease and I wasn't disabled by EDS, I would so b there! ♡
...what a blessing that we have Derick's (& Susan's) brilliant talent, integrity, humor, and kindness - and a truly cosmic band with those same attributes, they bring it all to every performance.
Trucks is the best! His needs are simple. One guitar, a slide, no pick...and yet the sounds he gets with very little or no effects. Truly special musician.
Favorite guitarist- speaks through the guitar better than I could dream of. I thought something was wrong when I couldnt quite play as comfortable with a pick as my fingers. Even though classical, flamenco and folk is not really my style. Best example of being you and don't fight it just be your best at it
Joe Walsh messaged me on Twitter and I was getting a bit negative about my life he started speaking to me in a very profound philosophical way I demanded to see that it was really him and he suggested to video chat then I've decided that was enough and never got back to him.
** I had a 69 SG same color, when I was 13 ... I took it apart and it never made it back together. I should be ashamed of myself. I didn't know what I had ... I played a little, but not great. GOD Bless
This dude was raised right...supremely talented, friendly, wise - just a great dude
Your friendly next door neighbour and, as it happens, also the greatest guitarist the planet ever produced.
And I get to drive past his house almost weekly!
He is hands down the best living guitarist.

One of Great guitarist of today. Rock on Dereck
"What are you looking at me for? This has nothing to do with you!" Brilliant!! :-D
That explains why he is so good. He has a hand with mind of its own!
Humble and very down to earth and well spoken...awesome dude right there.
Such a talented artist. Pure and to the soul.
Brilliant musician AND a genuine person. Great

What an awesome man Derek is. The epitome of a true artist.
"I'm not going to pick it up next time I drop it" A man after my own heart.
Derek seems such like an all around great guy you'd want to jam with!
Such a down to earth guy. A true great.
Awesome interview.
Awesome and hilarious all at the same time.

Cool cat very humble
love Derek so rock n roll!
Derek Trucks just seems like the nicest guy.
We are all very happy that Derek is who he is, and I imagine that Gibson is happy, too.
What better recommendation could a guitar maker have?
A real decent family man who is not your typical ego driven "Rock Star".
He is such a nice guy.
Peace n love my friend💜🤴
I agree with what everyone else has said - Derek is a great player and a great person - I would love to meet him but I am 5,000 miles east !
charming and real
Agreed!
"If it ain't broke, break it..." Yup
5:12 I need to learn that chord.

Southern Jacksonville FL product. All good..
240p? Really gibson?
***** haha for real though what the hell?
I have never seen Derek playing with a metal slide
"if it ain't broke, break it" I see people like Polyphia and Sara Longfield doing that now in 2020
Steel slide?
What's that Epiphone amp he's playing?
Jeremiah Pankey darude sandstorm
What you said, Peter.
Before he got that legendary guitar signed
He retired the Gibson with all the signings during his run with Clapton.

SPEEDBOATMANIAC 410 why didnt you just put it back together dumbass?
SG is the Messiah for gipson .
A metal slide??!!
He’s a good feller isn’t he
Derek Trucks is my second favorite guitar player, number 1 is Eric Clapton. Sorry, Derek!!!!
Lyla 1993 Amazing performance
