In my opinion, the best of his generation. No swagger, no ego, a pure vessel for music like SRV & Hendrix. He is without question in the same breath as those two. Just amazing.
Hendrix had no swagger? What?
@@awsesomeman110 .... Hahahahaha.... Onstage at least, offstage he was pretty shy allegedly...
You can nix the ‘ in my opinion’ bit. Unless you tend to say ‘in my opinion’, the earth is round ;)
@@LostMyMojo100 my point is Derek has no swagger - but is a music vehicle just like Hendrix. Hendrix appeared reserved offstage - see the Dick Cavett show footage. SRV the same.
@@bradnelson4778 ... I agree with you... I was responding to Gabrielle
Derek is the best at this moment, but don’t forget to mention that he has currently the best band as well. No ego’s, just a great group of fabulous musicians that find joy in playing together.
It really blew me away when I heard him playing sitar lines and East Indian music with a slide.
He was explaining that the ascending lines are in a major scale and descending lines are in a minor scale.
When he plays the music comes alive.
That was just drop dead.
A truly unique guitar player. I've never heard anyone play like Derek Trucks does. His guitar sounds like an old soul singer from the 60s and 70s. So melodic, tasteful and emotional.
👍
Duane allman. Listen to original Layla
Have a listen to AJ Ghent & Co...Trucks owes alot to the 'sacred steel' guys- but I'm sure he'd be the first to admit it!
He plays with such emotion in his own style and accuracy
@@emm352 love Duane immensely but Layla isn’t his best slide work he’s out of tune i’m pretty sure his best slide work imo is either on Statesboro Blues or on the song he did with Boz Scaggs
Just saw him in January and you do get that feeling of seeing something special and more grounded to earth just flows like water out of him.
I also gotta say Susan caught me off guard too she can throw down too very soulfully
I would Advise everyone to see the Tedeschi Trucks 10 piece band Live. I did and it was musical heaven
👍
Saw them live in Seattle this last year. Best concert I've ever been to.
They are phenomenal!
Agreed, I see them whenever they're in NY. What a BAND!
The tightest, musically prolific band I've seen onstage since The Eagles concert I went to back in the early 80"s. TTB was THAT good. Such a big band and so well mixed that every single little bit has the space to shine thru. Top notch.
There's an emotion in this that gets me every time I hear it.
I completely agree. Derek is so good at building his solo into a climax, leading the band, and then bringing it back down. This is a very important skill that Trucks owns.
👍
Derek is the best slide player ever. He took where Duane Allman left off, and just continues to innovate and create magic.
👍
Hate to disagree, but Duane blows everyone away...remember Duane was only around 25 when he died, and had only been playing slide for about 4 years. He was much more emotive, and could tear your heart out with one note.
Randy Meyer There is no way a guitarist can be “more emotive” than Trucks.
@@randymeyer6482 Boom. Duanes soul was on the fret board. Derek sounds very technical and robotic. I feel nothing when he plays.
@@jjadaddy Really? He makes me shiver and weep with the wonder of his playing. INCREDIBLE amounts of feeling.
That’s the difference. His musical awareness. His technique is the best in the world. But he’s also always musically tuned in. His expression, his phrasing, dynamics, the guy has it all. And he emotes almost nothing through his face or body language. He channels it all through his hands. He’s the greatest electric guitar player alive. And I don’t even think it’s close.
Thank you for your video
I have no knowledge of playing guitar but the emotive heart strings Derek's provokes send shivers down my spine. It's as if the guitar is weeping, truly an amazing artist is Derek
he is so precise..yet so beautifully sensitive,artistically and emotionally
I've seen Derek play live four times and he never fails to make me shake my head and think "how in the heck can a person play THAT good ."
Catch Derek at age 13 on TH-cam
Derek is the real deal.....no doubt about it. No bs either, just takes care of buisness, and does it very well.
Him and his wife are VERY good, down to earth people too.
Now to a review of Derek and Warren playing in the all an brothers.....it’ll blow your mind
Derek Trucks is amazing in concert. He isn’t flashy just a God given talent on that slide. You just have a few beers and close your eyes. Amazing! Thanks Fil!
Hands down , the best slide player out there today ! Everything about his playing is perfect ! If you are a guitar player , you must be amazed by his overall everything about his performance . Also great without a slide ! He is just am amazing performer , love this guy !
Derek doesn't just play notes, his guitar talks to you. The emotion he rings from every lick is amazing. Watching your face says everything about his playing. Derek is so humble it comes through every time I watch him.
👍
His humility is one of the reasons I love him. Never known a lead guitarist like him before
Derek is the best slide player that there is.
👍
Yeah, I don't like throwing the word "greatest" around, but when it comes to slide it's hard to not hand Derek that title. The only players I've heard that deservingly fall into his slide-playing category are Jr Brown and vintage Johnny Winter. Jr can be outright mind-blowing and there used to be a version on TH-cam of Johnny playing "Highway 61" that is EXPLOSIVE, but I can't track it down anymore (probably a copyright infringement or something of that nature).
Also, Robert Randolph used to be rather nasty on the steel pedal, but for some reason he simply stopped shredding. That guy blew the roof off the Irving Plaza in NYC about 12 yrs ago, not sure why he stopped: its not as if he became wealthy from playing the current crap he's producing.
DuaneAllman Jr
Such a good way to describe Derek's unique style!
Thanks!
One of my fav guitarists and I listen to him at bedtime not because he is boring just listening to Derek relaxes me after work and I need to unwind
Every one of Derek's solos tell a story. Not only the precision of his technique but he composes great solo musical context on the fly.
👍
One of the giants of the current crop of musicians. Also TTB is best band on the road for my money.
👍
There is no doubt. He is a treasure.
Hell yeah.
Daniel Skon Got to see them here in Tulsa a few months ago. Fantastic!
Agreed. They are terrific together... a must see!
Maybe one of the bestreviews of DT I'vre ever heard. I love this video too. When I listenj to him, he takes me on a journey every time.
Thanks!
Derek started his career playing with his Uncle Butch Trucks band, The Allman Brothers Band. Even in those early years, Derek’s playing came from such a soulful place that Gregg Allman thought he was channeling his late, great brother, Duane Allman, arguably the greatest slide player ever. Gregg would close his eyes and imagine Duane on stage with him again. Someone below mentioned SRV-Derek, for me, is the first player since SRV to feel what he was playing so deeply that listeners can’t help but take that spiritual journey with him. There are many players who are technically proficient and can play with lightning flash speed, and are fun to listen to, but the music doesn’t stay with you. Hendrix changed people, Duane Allman changed people, SRV changed people, and Derek Trucks, IMHO, might be the only player of his generation that approaches those gods of the guitar in pure, simple feel.
I've seen him live a dozen times over the years starting with Clapton in '06, through the DTB and now TTB. His tone is just butter and molasses, his melody and phrasing are tapped into some supernatural essence, and his rhythms are inspired and profoundly moving... the entire time. He's not just one the greatest slide guitar players, he's one of the greatest MUSICIANS I've ever heard.
Amen!
Watching him trade licks with Warren Haynes in the Allman Brothers Band was like a religious experience too!
I’ve seen this guy perform since he was a 14yo kid. He blew minds then. And he’s only continued to evolve the technique. Definitely in his own league.
Cool!
His timing lagging and falling back into groove and r&b vocalist runs are crazy , he’s singing.
Derek is an AMAZING slide guitar player- so focused, so calm & cool. I could listen to this guy all day. Love love him!!
I grown man cried watching this. Just an unbelievable player
You nailed it Fil...."It's art"
I remember going to see the Allman Brothers, having been a fan for years, and recently having been introduced to Govt. Mule. This was around 2002 or so. So I was going to see a band I liked with this great guitarist named Warren Haynes I recently had gotten into. Then suddenly there's this guy with long hair just about down to his waist, playing the absolute hell out of the guitar. My jaw hit the floor and I knew. This was the greatest guitarist I had ever seen live. Made me think of Jimi, Stevie, Janis, Cocker... Someone truly in the moment with the music. The music comes through them and passes to the audience and feeds back into the music, making it more than just a concert, it becomes an experience for everyone there. I've seen lots of great musicians ,but Derek is the only one who ever made me think if those legendary artists.
OMG!! This guy is a master if his craft! Tip tier
I love Derek Trucks. My whole body burst out in goose bumps when he got cooking. Another Great choice.
👍
When did this become a thing.
The best there was. The best there is. The best there ever will be.
So nice to see a Master at work
saw the Trucks Tedeshi band in Vancouver with my daughter and we held hands and cried through a lot of his songs. a heartfelt and emotional night of music
Cool!
Derek Trucks in a league of his own. We get to see what Duane Allman would have done had he lived.
Gregory Larry AMEN! ITS HAUNTING!
Duane reborn
I agree. I think it's easy to lose sight of the fact that Duane was only 24 when he died. I believe he was only just beginning to scratch the surface of his great talent. It boggles the mind.
My top 5 guitar solos are all Derek truck solos.
Ehhhh. Duane was in his own league. No one plays like Duane did. Derek does a good job at reproducing his sound when playing ABB songs but he doesn't sound like Duane. He doesn't play like Duane did. He doesn't have the same interests in music that Duane did.
So no, having Derek isn't anything close to what it would be like if Duane was here.
Came back for another viewing of this analysis. Derek does watch others onstage with him. In the 2007 performance of Anyway the Wind Blows with Clapton, JJ Cale, Bramhall II Derek is watching JJ intently. I know that whatever he picked up then he carried to future performances.
Well said, nice review. Derek is just unbelievable!
There are many, many amazing guitarist in this world.
But does anyone have the gift of expressing emotions through the instrument like this man?
Its hard to put into words, but there’s just something about this mans playing thats deeper.
Plus his unimaginable playing ability. Absolutely unreal.
I saw him (TTB) last November. It's been a long time since I've seen one of the all time greats perform live for the first time. Very special. You know it right away too. Like you said Fil, he has it.
👍
I noticed 28 tone deaf musically challenged people voted thumbs down. This is a perfect performance and a perfect analysis. How could there be a thumbs down?
Your analysis videos are the only ones necessary on youtube, everything else is like an afterthought...its you then everyone else buddy...much love from Philadelphia
Thanks for the kind words!
Fil, thanks a million for doing all of these videos. I enjoy them quite a bit. Not only is Derek trucks an amazing player he is a super nice guy as well. I got a chance to meet him and of course I am an absolute nobody but he sat and answered all of my questions about playing and he certainly did not have to do that. Great guy, great player.
No problem!
they should play this solo when defibrillators fail to bring people back to life in emergency rooms
Written by Michael Mattison, the backup (and sometimes lead) singer. Best band out there these days IMHO.
👍
I love am too, man!
Lucky enough to see them three times since last year. Got this Midnight twice different set every night. I was lucky. Susans no slouch. She can sing/wail with the best. Great guitarist too. During the show they will watch each other. Great band ,great music.
Saw Derek trucks in Eric Clapton's band at Birmingham NEC 2006 ,Had never heard of him then and where gob smacked by his sheer brilliance . Big fan ever since .
1.427 people watching this video within about 20 hours - and 120 coments! Fil, this shows you that there are a lot of fans: fans of you, and fans of good music! Keep on analyzing & rockin'!
Yeah it's cool! Thanks!
I've seen Derek play a bunch of times...in small venues...up close...and it's amazing to see how he gets the sound. Both his hands are mesmerizing. He also cares soooo much about his performance and product he delivers to his audience. For example, one show I saw he broke a string on his #1 SG during the 2nd to last encore...Tech swapped out for #2 SG...I just figured he would complete the last song with #2...but no...#1 came back perhaps a quarter of the way through the last song...
Haha cool!
You nailed it, a piece of art!
ONE OF THE BEST HUMAN ON THIS EARTH I AM SURE
This is something that brings tears to my eyes.
I hope Duane and Butch can sit together in heaven and every once in a while look down at their Derek and smile as they listen to him run the ball way down the field so to speak.
Amen.
Duane and Butch are in a casket. They can't see anything.
@@Frip36 you’re fun at parties you pessimistic loser
Derek has so much soul but so much precision at the same time, his playing has so much emotion, it’s beautiful
Amen!
i met Derek and Susan in a grocery store the day they were playing in my local venue , they were so nice , really good people ..i was at the show that night ,and it was wonderful
Fil, I've been playing guitar for almost 60 years and slide guitar since 1970 and I
feel exactly the same way, my friend. Derek is out of this world. The only person I'd
put in that league is Sonny Landreth, who breaks every rule and makes it all work.
Sonny and Derek are quite a bit different but both masters. I took a lot from the
great David Lindley and he's right there for melodic slide guitar, though he plays
lap steel. Duane Allman was the guy who brought modern slide technique to the
table and a prime influence for any slide fan. Derek really has taken Duane's
style and kept expanding it. That was an incredible 2 1/2 minutes of slide artistry.
Amen to that Larry!
When I saw Sonny and he started playing harmonic melody licks with his fingers BEHIND the slide as he worked it up the neck..............
Jaw dropping when I finally caught on to how he was getting that sound
He plays Coltrane songs on that thing. Enough said.
During the ABB's legendary 2009 Beacon run , the 40th anniversary year , I didn't get to see the band with Clapton but went the night Sonny Landreth was one of the guests and that really tore the roof of the old hall . Slide guitar heaven with Derek , Warren & Sonny ! :-)
The melodic choices Derek makes have an almost 'Indian' flavor for me, kind of outside the usual western choices - his quirky physical style is unique! I think Duane Allman was more Blues driven, Derek seems to be painting with a broader paintbox, if you know what I mean - the feel is insane, art without question.
👍
I read he studied raga and other Indian styles at one point, back during the DTB days.
That would certainly explain that exotic flavor in his playing
He actually studied a bit under Ali Akbar Khan and some other indian masters, and the influence in his playing is brilliant. Before the TTB came to be, and occasionally still they will play a song called Maki Madni or Sahib Teri Bandi that are quite brilliant.
*Imagine my shock*
Incredible... so much going on with his playing, you just listen indeed... so many great guitarists can not slide and give it up... this video is inspirational.
about the most incredible solo to begin with..stunning! . another excellent vid and review Fil.. thanks
And Derek uses NO PEDALS OR EFFECTS OF ANY KIND. Just his guitar, his amp,
and his soul. Head-heart-hands. He's got it all.
Yeah he doesn't need anything to shine!
He uses some cool effects sometimes on his cd's though..
Yep: guitars - chord - amp. Doesn't use monitors either.
It’s in your hands , and soul
Yeah, all the old school is like that. Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, the Stones, Leslie West. No pedals, just different amps sometimes.
Very talented! Most beautiful slide I have heard!
Good choice!
Rock!
Thanks!
I would hope so he's been at it from age five.
Derek ,is just so musical,yet has so much emotion and builds a solo,like no one else ,the Tedeschi/Trucks band ,are sublime ,awesome songs,vocals,AND DT............
I don't believe it's much of a stretch to say Derek is the best slide player... ever in history. And we're lucky enough to be alive in the same time period to witness his playing. I subbed awhile back.
Great channel. Hope you keep em comin.
Nice breakdown! He made me want to learn slide guitar and I ended up getting one. But it didn't take long before I realized I would be extremely hard for me to even come near to his level. His seemingly effortless playing tricked me.
What's funny is that isn't even one of the better Midnight solos. Derek plays them differently every time. Some times the solo is so beautiful it brings tears.
I hear ya, man. Pure beauty.
True. I happen to think this particular version is the pinnacle of this song: th-cam.com/video/xbOlgESKbIc/w-d-xo.html
That is the best description of Trucks' playing that I've ever heard. You nailed it.
Derek is a true grandmaster of the slide guitar. World class.
You said it perfectly about Derek, the only other thing I would say for me, he has this aura about him, it’s like the heavens are calling down
And again there is really not that many that are Masters of the slide♡It's so wonderful to listen and watch someone who can really do it♡
Derek has crazy talent.
Yep!
The amount of hours he put in helped a bit lol.
Derek's finger picking is other worldly too...
Love the way he builds up his solos to dynamic levels and keep it at a high level till he drops it down with grace and style. Great review
God this guy is awesome!!!! Brilliant brilliant , unbelievable the amount of emotional feel he has!! Has such a connection with his guitar and wow what a beautiful piece of music!!!!!! Great vid again Fil !!!
Thanks Mario!
Aww, what a nice channel. Listening to you gushing about mister Trucks was the perfect accompaniment for my dinner. Lovely casual stuff! Subbed!
Thanks
I think he's more like Coltrane than anyone else. He's not just playing, channeling.
I've always said he doesn't even look like he's trying all that hard, he just flicks his fingers and it just comes out effortlessly. Just like he's channelling the music instead of playing it
Exactly what good musicians do...channel. and they don't break out for years, sometimes, so it seems.
I saw this kid (just in his early teens) in the early 90's at a place called Skipper's Smokehouse in Tampa, FL. Had never heard of him and then he lights into Statesboro Blues and I witnessed that incredible sliding guitar technique and I was completely blown away. Thanks for the memory flashback, Fil. Good to see he's still jamming away and doing great!
Yeah he's awesome!
Such a melodic guitar player, combined with perfect technique. Thanks for the great vids Fil.
No problem!
Derek’s playing is the closest thing to the human female voice I’ve ever heard. Can’t wait to hear him live someday.
👍
Can you tell me why slide resembles the human voice?
@@GggG-og5mp The pitch, note choices, and rhythm mirrors the improvisation of great female blues and soul singers.
@@SoulDeathCheated thanks
The dude is not from this planet. His note choice and feel are insanely impeccable
👍
Got a text from a friend who's heading to the Lockin Festival in Virginia starting Thursday. Just wanted to put that out there for anyone who wants to know about outdoor festivals. Great lineup of artists as always.
He’s my favorite blend of beauty and soul! He can make you cry with his playing. His guitar isn’t playing, it’s singing.
Saw Derek play on a Allman bros. tour he is an amazing guitarist! Great slide work 👍😎
Yeah very cool!
His woman aint no slouch on the gitar neither
Yeah thats true!
Susan Tedeschi
ya dang right...and a hottie in her own way too
I love when she sings I pity the fool. ...classic
she does have a voice that will bring out your own emotions....I love her music
What an awesome guitarist! I'll be looking and listening to more of Derek's music..Thanks so much Fil!
No problem!
Very relaxing passionate playing. So fortunate when they come to town. Love to see when someone loves their craft, and puts everything into it.
👍
Derek Trucks picked up some pointers from Johnny Winter when he was like 9. He surpassed him long ago.
Yeah its great company to keep when learning!
i saw him play when he was 9...he was amazing
Watch Derek play with some of the Giants of the Guitar. He watches them and never stops learning.
Played for many years.. then saw this man.. im 68.. imagine your uncle plays drums for the Allman bros.. and you at age 13 are hanging around and Duane Allman is giving you tips and hints.. and introduces you to the slide cause your fingers are small.. talk about right place at the right time.. man alive.. and then he get together with Susan tedeschi.. WOW.. watch this couple. they have just begun to make an impact
Dude, no doubt he is great, but he didn't learn from Duane, at least not as you say. Duane died in 1971. Derek was born in 1979.
Fil you impressed me by saying how good he was so I thought I ought to listen to this. Wow! I am hypnotized by this, I love this and usually this is not my cup of tea but my cup runneth over. He is awesome! Going to listen to more of him! That was an experience. I felt like he was talking to me thru his guitar. 🤗😘😍💕
Thanks for this Fill, seen Derek many times with many bands, he delivers always...what I love about jamb bands, peace.
Cool!
The one the only Derek Trucks!!!!!!!!!!!! The only guitarist (so far) I spent the money on to sit as close as possible. No regrets best concert ever!! Also Luther Dickinson opened and happen to be on stage with him alot :)
Awesome!
Derek plays slide with a "fluid" style: it's like watching water moving over the rocks and rapids.
Man, your videos are so fun to watch. Can't wait to see what other great players you feature...subscribed!!!
Thanks!
Fil, your stellar good looks and communication level, intelligence and acute observation is just incomparable. I might add that you're a good person which is...unbelievable. loving you and your creates.
Add to one of my favorite slide guitarists. Up with David Lindley and Johnny Waters ( Slide guitar for Hank Snow 1940s ). Cool
👍
Dave Hole and 'Bullfrog Blues' live at Leverkusen, Germany for some slide guitar. “Guitar Player” magazine. "Magnificent, staggering, almost beyond belief. Utterly Blues approved. ... ferocious, fire-breathing slide ... What more could you ask?" raved Obrecht, who then tipped off Alligator Records president Bruce Iglauer. Iglauer, encouraged by his staff's
excitement on hearing the album, released it to a world-wide audience.
Thank you Fil and Derek.
No problem!
Have seen Derek Trucks with Eric Clapton twice and once with Susan Tedeschi Band. I had front row for Tedeschi. Incredible. Awesome. Transcendental. Amazing.
Cool!
Hey Fil. Love watching theses vids and hearing your comments on all these guitarists and their styles. Keep them coming please. Derek is one of my favourite players and the Tedeschi Trucks Band just kill it live. By the way it is pronounced Tedes-'key' not Tedes-'shi'.
Thanks for the tip!
Let me tell you how good is Derek Trucks. Imagine the list of the best world guitarist. No.1 is Derek and then you left 20 places below empty, than you can put some other guitarist there. I watch Eric Clapton watch him playing, with the corner of his eye, and that's said everything. Derek is the guitar player on spiritual level, probably reincarnation of the Duane Allman. It's proven in many cases that all departed people coming back in life in the same area among same people. I had seen so many excellent guitar players in many music styles and situation,.. but this guy is something - not from this world. Just watch how calm he is while he is playing, you can hear perfectly every single note, tune, no matter how fast he's playing. To playing with the Allman brother band you must be someone and something.
👍
Thanks for posting this amigo. Derek’s playing is flawless, and you describe it perfectly by saying there are almost no words to explain the level of his musicianship.
No problem!
Dude...your evaluation of Derek's slide play is spot on! My evaluation criteria is the hair on my neck going crazy. Derek is a master. Saw the band play live here in Raleigh and what a show, wow is all you can say. Thanks from the old dude in NC.
Cool!
