I've always thought of Dickie as the king of the major pentatonic and yet all this stuff is minor pentatonic. Very interesting and informative. Thanks dude

ABB is rarely straight pentatonic. Liz Reed is Dorian for example. But he is king of long form major scale solos for southern rock.

Indeed, Duane did so much but for a very short time in the ABB. Listen to “An Evening with the ABB” set 1 and 2 (released separately) from the 1990s. Another high point was after Dickey left with Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks at the very end on “One Way Out” in 2004. Wish they would have done more with that lineup.

Love your style of teaching. I especially appreciate you stating the note names you are hitting versus the string name and fret number. Teachers who identify notes by using the string name and fret number do students a disservice because knowing the actual note names helps reinforce that you are working within a framework (scale, mode, chord tone, etc.) That's a lot more useful that just saying 'B string 3rd fret. Thanks. Keep 'em coming.

Great insight into a great musician! Here in the U.K. I was brought up on Clapton, Page, Beck, Blackmore and Hendrix of course,.....then somewhere along the journey I heard the sound of Dickey 'sweet tone' Betts. Many other great guitarists have come and gone in those years but the sound of Dickey Betts is the one true sound that rings in my ears as the best guitarist I have ever heard. His playing and singing is pure music. I've never been to the U.S.A but Dickey has taken me on a journey from the civil war to the modern day. Honour and respect to the great Dickey 'sweet tone' Betts

Glad I stumbled onto this. Huge Dickie Betts fan. Duane was a great slide player, but I never understood why he overshadowed Dickie so much. I got the sense that Duane was technically proficient as a studio guy, but the bulk of the creative energy was coming from Dickie. Wasn’t every hit AB original penned by Dickie? I get the impression Duane was good at creative interpretations of other people’s songs (Elmore James & T-Bone Walker) while Dickie was doing most of the creating of original material (Elizabeth Reed, Blue Sky, Jessica, Ramblin’ Man, Southbound) I mean come on. I was fortunate to see a lot of him in the late 70s, early 80s. Always at tiny bars in and around Chicago like Biddy Mulligans. One weekend you’d see Dickie there. Two weeks later it would be Greg Allman with Dangerous Dan Toler. I could always pick which solos were Dickie’s from most Allman Bros stuff because he was Mr. Dorian scale . That, to me, is signature DB. I also read an interview with him where he said Western Swing was a big influence for him. I think his father may have even been in a Bob Wills type band. I think those hard to duplicate little solo riffs he does where it feels like he’s going one note forward and two back in the scale (you have an example here)that feels like a very Texas Swingy thing. Thanks for doing this! Another great reason to listen to more of his playing!

Thanks for reminding my old brain cells-my brother and I went to see The Great American Guitar Assault at the Park West venue in Chicago, late 70s-early 80s-ish. It featured Dickie Betts, Roy Buchanan and Lonnie Mack. I was already a guitar player and no stranger to loud shows, but this was the loudest concert I ever attended. We both literally had to stuff cocktail napkins in our ears-especially for Roy’s set. He loved playing those ear splitting high notes off the end of the neck-the fact he was playing a Tele was a force multiplier in terms of ear piercing-ness. 🤣

Hey Dave, it's sooooo refreshing to see a teacher using proper playing form of one finger per fret and using the pinky (so many YT guitar "teachers" make me shudder). Many of these "teachers" are self taught hackers and don't know proper form. The shredders and jazz players know that speed and precision requires efficient form, and in the case of Gambale, economy of picking. Why flail and reach over frets when the pinky is in correct position? It takes extra time and effort to play well using bad form. It's just plain inefficient learning. What disturbs me is so many hackers on YT who learned from tabs and lifting licks off CD's are teaching bad habits to the younger players just starting out.

Spoke to Duane Betts a couple of years ago when he toured over here & he's still striving to capture Dickies vibrato.

You should look more into the story of Barry Oakley. I read that he was originally from around the Chicago area and had spent some time learning Chicago blues by sitting in with some of the greats. I think he was more of a major influence on the band than most people realize. He was devastated by Duane’s death and did an instant downward spiral in the year afterwards leading up to his death. He had a very driving and distinctive Chicago Blues bass style (like Willie Dixon). Barry doesn’t get much love, but his playing is definitely worth taking a closer look at.

Good job, I like your tone. Ever tried to master his volume swells with the pinky? I think he was one of the best at making an electric guitar sound like an electric violin and to me that is the highest order of playing, that sound is very appealing and requires vibrato in places and the volume brought up slightly on stand out phrases. Combined with his technique you demonstrated partly he was a true pioneer of the country rock genre.
