Not only is Derek amazing but the whole band just creates a mellifluous atmosphere around him to bend and break. The bass player alone is so melodic with his changes.
It’s because it’s Otiel burbridge on bass here, who is one of the most incredibly proficient electric bass players alive. Derek is amazing as it is and Otiel is arguably on another level .
Since 2010 the band has probably done this same tune well over 1,500 times, and the most amazing thing is Derek has a different opening and solo on each and every one of them. His creativity is off the charts. He approaches music as a true Jazz musician. You play what you are feeling at the moment.
There are lots of amazing guitarists throughout history including all the legends we all know, but not one of them gives me the feeling that trucks does when he plays slide. It’s other worldly.
Hey Levi, here an interesting suggestion for a transcription. I'm a huge Allan Holdsworth fan and everyone knows the incredible heights he reached, but I think one of his greatest solos is fairly early in his career, 1974 to be precise. Whilst in later years he looked back at his early stuff as primitive, there is no doubt that every era of his playing was beyond any mere mortal and remains genius to this day. Here I am talking about the solo on Hazard Profile Part 1 from the Bundles album by Soft Machine. Unlike his later paying, you can hear pick attack, muting, riffs, rock phrasing, etc, but what makes this extended solo pure genius is the melodic and thematic development. To be this creative over a fairly simply vamp is astonishing, and the way the solo just builds and builds is truly spiritual. Anyway Levi, if you are not familiar with this work of genius check it out, you won't regret it. Peace.
Derek is amazing for coming up with this solo and you're amazing for transcribing, Levi. Thanks so much for what you share with us all for free. I'll have to buy your guided practice routine so I can climb the infinite mountain of greatness to get a little closer to you and get a glimpse of what it's like to play like Derek.
I love watching your transcriptions, Levi! It really helps us appreciate the actual music itself even more, seeing it all play out on a tab. Thank you!
Who is the best guitarist with 8 fingers? Stanley Jordan With 5? EVH With 4? Shawn Lane With 3? Eric Clapton With 2? Django Reinhardt With 1? Derek Trucks
Could you please transcribe the guitar solo at the end of PWA INSTRUMENTAL by 5th Ward Boyz? PLEASE?!?! It's probably the greatest guitar solo ever laid down on a rap song. Played by Joseph Bythewood Sr aka JB Money. He played on countless album from the Isleys to 5th Ward Boyz. Wish he was still here so I could thank him for inspiring me to learn to play. Joe was murdered a few years ago by his adult son. Taken far too soon. REST IN PEACE, JB MONEY! If you dont transcribe it, please have a listen. It's one of the songs as a kid that inspired me to want to learn to play. I just wish I could thank JB. 😔
A question about the TAB notation: What’s the difference between a slide noted with a dash (5/7) versus a slide noted with the usual hammer-on/pull-off symbol with “sl.” over it? How should I play it differently?
That’s a great question! One is a legato slide (pick one note, slide to the next) one is a shift slide. You pick both notes but you’re sliding between them with the same finger (or slide!)
Agreed! This is phenomenal. Belive it or not, and this is just my opinion, but I feel he's actually taken this to an even higher level in this performance. th-cam.com/video/QC9rQcb5Kyg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=9qIkJqL7wsQxT5zR
Great playing but this ain’t it, there’s another one where he plays a Gibson like this but he makes midnight in Harlem ascend to such an epic level it drops your jaw. This is tame in comparison

joke's on you: every Derek solo blows me away
@Abcdef12396 there are some videos of him soloing without a slide. He does great there as well. But his slide work is on another level.

That’s what he learned being in the Allman Brothers Band all those years.

@@EdGlossthis particular rendition is my favorite by far.
@@EdGloss how u know this
Imagine being Susan Tedeschi and getting to listen to Derek Trucks practice at home all day
He need to leave that old lady
@@cactu5jack shut up JOE
He is so insanely technically skilled and also has so much soul! I've never heard slide quite like he does it.
Thank you for highlighting this solo.
His soft notes - his dynamics - are just so incredibly sweet. I don't know how you could possibly catch all that nuance in notation. Great job.
If this does not give you chills and maybe a tear in your eye, something is wrong.
There are lots of amazing guitarists throughout history including all the legends we all know, but not one of them gives me the feeling that trucks does when he plays slide. It’s other worldly.
Derek is the most beautifully melodic slide players I've ever seen. Hands down.
I've always loved how Trucks can go from lyrical & sweet to _rockin'_ and still lyrical & sweet...so naturally, effortlessly beautiful... ❤🔥
One of my favorite guitar solos of all time - brings tears to my eyes every time - Thank you!
Not gonna lie, i have had a special place in my heart for this solo in particular for a while. Thank you so mich
I love the bassline!
Just when I thought I heard the best guitarists around and than this guy shows up...
My absolute favorite live solo of this song!
one of the GOATS band

Derek is the MAN!
For some reason the original video is not available for me to watch so thank you for uploading this so I can rewatch it 💙
Also listen to Duanne Allman - true master of slide guitar.
Thank you, Levi! 🙏😍
He did this with BB King, who said it was amongst the best he’s heard…. John Mayer was sitting there too, in awe!
MAGICAL.
THE BEST SLIDE PLAYER IN THE WORLD, HANDS DOWN, SKYDOG IS SMILING DOWN ON YOU BIGTIME

Question: why two drummers? Allman brothers band did that too. Why?
Very happy with the transpript by the way and I love the solo.
He's dancing with his favorite girl.
Como puedo aprender la teoría de las canciones a fondo para tocar .

Amazing - can't believe you managed to transcribe this. The solo is a masterpiece.
That's godlike!!!
Imagine him playing with the Grateful Dead
Derek is so brilliant. This is an amazing transcription. Is the full tab available on your Patreon?
This transcription is, yes
@@LeviClay Thank you. I will continue searching. I very much enjoy your channel and hope to grow my skills.
When I look in downloads, it appears to stop in January.
@@Gabriel49718 you want to go to the “all daily transcriptions in one place” post
@@LeviClay found it! Thank you.
When you can make your guitar sing like that the people will come.
🎉❤
Everytime I listen to one of his solos I look at my bottleneck and think : " naaaaah...don't even think about it"
Could make for a funny video though…
Yeah, so true....and I've put time into it. Being able to take it anywhere close this level unimaginable for me.
My god.
I'm not a religious person at all.
That man's hands was touched by something not of this world.
Agreed! This is phenomenal. Belive it or not, and this is just my opinion, but I feel he's actually taken this to an even higher level in this performance. th-cam.com/video/QC9rQcb5Kyg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=9qIkJqL7wsQxT5zR
Hey Levi, any chance you could do Jimmy Pages solo in Your time is gonna come live at the Connan O´Brien show?? Thanks for all your vids by the way!!
I haven't seen any great live solo by Jimmy Page yet, so I decided to check it out. I still haven't seen any great live solo by Jimmy Page
@@martinpaddle th-cam.com/video/aU03DxaGNMs/w-d-xo.html there you have it
What's the tuning?
In open E I presume?
Yep
Does anyone know the tuning he uses? Thanks
Open E
What scale or mode is this?
Tuning is open E. You could say he's playing minor pentatonic, but he's also playing micro tones, so don't know if it can be defined that way.
It's in open e?
Yes
Fuckkkkk that solo could make you cry in the middle of birthday sex
😂😂😂
Derek's life is complete (fyi the female guitarist is his wife)
What part of you thinks that’s news to me?
Is this open G
E
@@LeviClay thank you, love the channel
Back when you could find enough Americans to fill a stadium.
He sounds like susan singing
he's not loud enough
Zero effects too!
Great playing but this ain’t it, there’s another one where he plays a Gibson like this but he makes midnight in Harlem ascend to such an epic level it drops your jaw. This is tame in comparison
Bottleneckin' at its finest.
First
Didnt blow my mind. Pretty boring
