Derek Trucks playing a slow blues solo. Great use of the slide with the classic Dereks phrasing.

  1. it’s probably partialy to his character, but also he is one one the most accurate and fast playing slide players ever, and playing slide needs a lot of attention, due to infinite possibilities to be out of key. That is also why he is so calm.

  2. Check out " I’ve got a good mind to give up living" in stockholm by fleetwood mac.. you may want to be sitting at the time hahaha

  3. I went to see Clapton in Philly on that tour and came away (blown away) wanting to see more DT. 20+/- times later, I’m still blown away wanting more. He’s the best. No question.

  4. Still amazing after the 100th time…
    May he stay with us for a long time

  5. Can a guitar break make a persons day, I say JAWOHL! This just may be the best blues slide break EVER played? Looks like EC was impressed.

  6. SRV would’ve loved this solo. It would’ve been great to see them jam.

  7. 1. this makes me want to throw away all my guitar picks.
    2. in any video where derek trucks plays with a guitar legend i love the reaction when even they’ve heard somethin honestly only one man can play.
