In memory of Elizabeth Reed live at fillmore east Duane's solo

Another technical and probably the best solo from Duane, not an easy one to cover with zero mistakes. Here's my take of Duane's solo from liz reed fillmore east.
I'm simply using a boss katana 100mkII for this, it doesn't get me Duane's actual exact tone though I'm yet to tweak the settings correctly. Do share the settings if anyone knows.

I believe it was the Jazz magazine Downbeat, who, after hearing this solo, called Duane Allman "The John Coltrane of the electric guitar". Understand, back then Rock was viewed as not up to par overall by the Jazz crowd, and in 99% of that was quite true. So when Downbeat put Duane Allman on an even plane as the most respected sax player on their roster.... that's some serious heavy artillery. You putting this (and all of the other songs) continues to keep Duane's legacy alive 50 plus years down the line. Thank you! You did a fabulous job!

[@syd3610]

He truly had a way of selecting his notes in all of his solos. After i found out he had listened to greats like john coltrane and miles davis, i also had a listen and noticed the lot of licks and phrases that Duane implemented from them. It's amazing how he could turn all those licks used on the sax and make it for the guitar. His playstyle is truly a unique one amongst all guitar players in history

[@paulblaesing4615]

Thank you for that info from the Jazz magazine Downbeat! To me Duane was the best I’ve ever heard in my first 75 years on this planet! The reason I started playing guitar a long time ago.

[@Kipod2000]

One of the best covers of Duane 👌🏽🎸🎶🎶

[@paulblaesing4615]

You’ve done fantastic playing on Duane and Dickie solos! You’ve nailed them! Congratulations!

[@drewcunningham2]

Fabulous playing Syd!! Allman Brothers are definitely one of my faves - MOER is the best instrumental jam ever - IMHO! - great playing mate!!!

[@johnpandolfino8663]

Bravo 👏🦫🤘🔥🇺🇸🎊🍩👌🖖😎💪🥳🤞💰👍 I'm old enough to have seen Duane play live three times before he passed..... he's the reason I play guitar today.... keep his shoes shined you did a great job....

Holy Shit. What a great cover. You capture the emotion behind each note. I love this song and you didn't let me down.

[@syd3610]

Thank you! Appreciate the love man

[@nulldude782]

The key to Duane’s soloing is to build tension on the 2nd and 3rd strings for as long as you ca bear it then let loose on the high E. A master of building excitement. Best solo every constructed.

[@petset77]

You certainly got the solos. Well done.

[@johnmartin2597]

Bravo! Really nicely done, you capture Duane’s feel and tone. I’ve been working on it for the past 6 weeks and I can only get to about 75% of the speed. It’s not easy to accomplish what you’ve done. Nice job bro!

[@syd3610]

Thanks brother I've been chasing his tone for almost a year and though its somewhat close, it's still not the way i like it to sound. And this was the first duane solo i learnt, it truly is rewarding to listen to his solos

[@mikenielsen8781]

[@patrickhite3026]

You are hitten the notes on your EADG but you B & E are just a little flat..Your killing it otherwise.." Don't dislike me, be like me" Honest opinion..Eat A Peach🍑

[@syd3610]

Yeah the double step bends duane uses in the B and E are very hard to play it like he does. Intonation is another issue. Good ear for noticing and thanks for the feedback. Eat a peach indeed🍑

[@stevelongobardi6870]

Great job - with beautiful tone ! I wore out a few Fillmore vinyls learning Duane’s solos. Conquering these solos is the only way to truly understand the brilliance of Duanes incomparable phrasing and intensity. This was all done in his early 20’s. Here we are 50 plus years after his death - and we still hold Duane in the highest regard …..for good reason, he was the best.

[@syd3610]

Thank you! He truly had a unique tone and its not easy to recreate it perfectly. I still find myself far from achieving his tone everytime I listen to his playing. There was no one like him and no one could come close to his improvisations, truly one of the greatest who left too soon

[@stevelongobardi6870]

@@syd3610 I own several Les Paul's and come very close too. But - since acquiring a 2021 59' reissue im nailing the tone precisely - and this is after 40 years of playing guitar. These 59' reissues have that tone. It give me goose bumps everything I play it.
