Tedeschi Trucks Band - "Soul Sacrifice" (Rehearsal)

Tedeschi Trucks Band rehearse a special debut performance of Santana's "Soul Sacrifice" backstage at Bethel Woods, site of the legendary 1969 Woodstock Festival, in honor of Carlos Santana's birthday.

[@VintageWoodWorkshop]

That’s the sound of original, 4-ply, 1960s cardboard right there. Modern cardboard doesn’t even come close

[@VictoriaIndyTV]

Are you sure? How do you know it wasn't Custom Shop Vintage Relic'd Reissue cardboard? ( from a "smoke-free and pet-free" studio)

[@darrenclinch]

Brilliant comment and follow up thread. Definitely made me laugh.

[@Weshopwizard]

Yes. The hand lamination made all the difference. Now it’s all done by machines and they all sound the same.

[@geol1936]

Don't forget the inner foam baffling that gives the cardboard that slightly muffled tone.

That's seriously first I've ever heard trucks without a slide...he's so good

Have a watch of Allman Bros live at the beacon- heaps of playing sans slide..

[@Pudge4400]

Yep...total control. That guitar does EXACTLY what he wants it to.

[@STSGuitar16]

His slide playing is obviously incredibly good, but the soul he puts into the slide playing comes out very well when he's playing without a slide as well. He's just got incredible feel and phrasing with and without slide.

[@sdean4816]

He’s better than good ! He’s magnificent. I would give up sex if I could play 1/4 as good as him. Humm, well maybe not but he is an incredible guitarist.

[@FAngus-ly8lk]

Have a listen/look at their performance of Everybody's Talking at Me. Derek plays without a slide for the first half of the song, basically playing a rhythm line while his wife sings. At 2:40, you can see him reach his right hand down quickly and the hand comes up with the slide on his finger (he does it very deftly, it's barely noticeable) and then plays the rest of the song that way. The slide part echoes his wife's vocal, it really "sings". This guy is a true guitar master. Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZq6k3V5Zbiiq7c

[@keithsquawk]

That's no modern rubbish cardboard! Remember, Ringo also played cardboard boxes on some hits - and 'We Will Rock You is a 'Carton Classic'

[@larrygeetar9309]

Remember - Derek plays everything in open E tuning, not just the slide guitar. If you watch, you can see what he does to hit those bluesy Santana notes. It's crazy. He said he's been doing that for so long that when he's handed a guitar in standard tuning it feels like a different instrument. "I feel like a beginner." God bless ya, kid. You are awesome.

[@ziblot1235]

I did not know that. Thats amazing. Damn near impossible,He really is good. These are some of the Macon Allman mob are they not?

[@STSGuitar16]

@@ziblot1235 Derek is Butch Trucks' (one of the original Allman Bros drummers) nephew. He was born in Jacksonville, Florida, and I believe he still lives there when not on the road. A total living guitar legend as far as I'm concerned. His skills are unmatched.

[@jsamc]

Thank you you answered my question..

[@chriskozub8012]

All the same patterns as him playing slide though... makes perfect sense he knows the fretboard in that tuning.

@@davidfaustino4476 True - when I play in Open G or E for a while I can play solos without translating them to standard tuning (almost haha)

[@johnwattdotca]

When self-recording came out, a lot of bands recorded on the tour bus using boxes for drums. If I can remember, it was Jackson Browne who first came out with a tour bus recording that was a hit. His drummer said he used a bass pedal on a cardboard box.

[@SlowBluesInc]

Derek and Susan need to pay these guys more, they can't even afford to buy a real drum kit.

[@jeffcov1]

Ryan Hall I have been seeing Derek live since 1996. One of the shows I was lucky to catch was Derek Trucks Band opening for Santana in 2008 at Chastain Amphitheater in Atlanta, GA. That show was definitely special. I also met Derek the night before the Chastain show while leaving a Braves baseball game. Turned around and he was walking out behind us.

I’ve already taught her the spoons, the washboard, shakers, mbira, acoustic, just everything sitting around the house to pick up and play. Now Michael Jackson got printed credits in the liners just for snapping lol, so cardboard drummer should get some clout too 😊 love seeing you guys! If only I could afford a ticket, I’d be St Augustine bound! Maybe next year. So bummed 🙁 but maybe TTB will come back w full band or do the Wheels of Soul Tour again. This brings me back to Delaney and Bonnie w Eric Clapton Poor Elijah. Bonnie drumming on her lap. She kept real good time and nifty beat. Cheers!

[@robertkess9907]

I met Trucks years ago at a blues jam in Greensboro NC of all places, he was not so famous then, still noteworthy though. My memory is that he was really a nice guy, and I enjoyed talking with him for a short time. I remember watching him play and being in awe of his abilities, and he was very humble about his prowess. I'm not sure of the specifics, but I think he has some ties to Greensboro and or NC, could be wrong, but I think that is so.
