There are levels in music like everything else. These are elite musicians. Skill, innovation, talent. People rave about the mediocre and often never experience this kind of genius. Thank you for aiming so high. Absolutely fantastic Harri.

Sonny has a very unusual slide technique, wearing the slide on his little finger, and fretting notes with his other fingers behind the slide, pushing them far enough away from the slide to ring cleanly with the slide still in place and acting on other strings. Derek plays slide more conventionally, but is absolutely excellent. Two of the very best!

@davelehnen3300, Derek style is very much in the mold of Duane Allman and Sonny using the slide on his little finger and fretting behind the slide very much like Johnny Winter, who always used his slide on his little finger too.

Pretty clever trick, fretting behind the slide. Depending on the string height, if you're tuned to an open major chord, you can use a finger behind the slide to get a minor chord when needed.

Two amazing slide guitarists, in Derek and Sonny, make for an amazing performance. I think it's Dave Ransom on bass, who's tearing it up with them. Fantastic performance. Absolutly a great match made in heaven.Great reaction Harri. 😊 Thanks Harri and Frank. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

Sonny lives in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana. He had the good fortune of playing in Clifton Chenier's band at a young age. A studio version of this song appears on his "South of I-10" album, which is one of my favorite albums from the 90s. Mark Knopfler plays on that song on the album.

Mind Droppings ..... Sonny Landreth opening for the Tedeschi-Trucks Band would make for a Great Double Bill !! Personally I've already seen these 2 onstage performing together in 2009 at the Allman Brothers Legendary 40th Anniversary run at The Beacon Theater . The ABB had different guests for every night of that run & I was there for the night Sonny was 1 of the guests . I went to 4 of the shows that year & I think on the night Sonny guested , Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top was one of the other performing guests . Unless with my aging memory that was on another night .... 🙃
