This Is Why Derek Trucks Is A Living Legend

[@RhettShull]

I've gotten a few questions about the acoustic Im playing in this video, its an Eastman E20OOSS/v you can check it out here (non affiliate link) www.eastmanguitars.com/acoustic_double_oo

[@ThePandaProcrastinates]

Was just about to post asking this.

[@DoctorTrainGaming]

Rhett, I immediately recognized that Eastman with the Varnish on it. I have a E20SS/v coming in the next few weeks. It's great to see people playing them more!

[@xchops8278]

Not at all the same, but appreciating the brand and value Eastman is bringing, bought their es-stlye guitar (TS486) a while back and love it.

[@mixedfruitjam]

The song is "I Can Feel You Smiling" from their recent album "I am the Moon"

[@alexsunsin]

Derek’s playing is so clean and precise it’s amazing. He makes that guitar SING.

[@Craig_Fussell]

Derek truly is the perfect mix of God given talent and learned musicianship. The real deal, like Jack Pearson, who you recently featured. The best part is that they both are just “good people” as we say down here in the South!✌🏻🎸🎶

[@Fr3etd4nc3r]

there is a third part to that euation (sadly): Luck. None of the first two would matter, if Derek and others didn´t have the luck to be born into a surrounding, that supports their talent and efforts. He was born into a musician family, with good taste in music, with access to great instruments in a country that is blooming and supportive of musicians. I know many musicians who have great talent, love great music, put lot of effort into music and play magical music, but are born into a shithole country like Slovakia, that doesn´t have the cultural support for this kind of music. You have to become a star abroad and come back home to people recognize you. If those cats I know were born in the USA, or Germany, or UK, they´d be known world wide. You can´t make a living making original music around blues/jazz/rock in my country, sadly. You need a daytime job to survive and by the end of the day you don´t have the power to imrpove and absorb wisdom. Luck is a big thing.

I saw that Clapton/Trucks/Bramhall configuration at the United Center in Chicago. You're right, that was a magic night. My wife to this day says I was so focused on them that she could barely get my attention. A "chill" concert, (no pyrotechnics, massive amps, laser lights, etc.,) just 100% wonderful musicianship, and was probably the best concert I ever attended!!

[@defsoundsjam]

I saw that same tour. My Dad took me in Salt Like City. One of our first bonding moments over music. Totally incredible show.

[@gregcharles999]

I saw that tour the Clapton tour with Derek and Doyle in Budapest of all places. I just stumbled on a ticket booth the day of the concert and it wasn’t sold out, I got to pick my seat. A nice old venue, a boxing arena cost about $35 worth a $1,000. I didn’t realize that Derek was on the tour at the time, but I heard his guitar before he stepped forward into the lights, and yelled in my poor wife’s ear, Derek Trucks is here! Well, by that time she already knew I was a huge fan but was surprised I could pick his playing out without even seeing him or knowing he was there. They covered all the Derek and the Dominos album which is in my top 5 or 10 records of all time. To most mortals they can’t figure out how you can hear one or maybe two notes of someone like Derek and know its him but I think a lot of musicians are tapped into that when hearing someone that talented with such a distinctive tone is playing.

[@stevelankford7087]

I’ll never forget meeting D in Bham Alabama theater on the sidewalk by the bus. My wife and I put a arm over each shoulder and got a picture with him and spoke a second. He definitely is the most humble, kind soul you could ever meet. And the show that night was just nothing short of amazing. Thanks Rhett!

[@bobroberts1530]

I have seen Derek live many times with different projects. Seeing Derek is like a religious experience. Him an Haynes together in the Allman Brothers was unreal.

[@aoper440]

I just saw Tedeski Trucks a couple night ago and I agree ... it was like a religious experience ... a revelation.

[@chewybang]

I wish I would have seen him with Warren in Allman Brothers. I remember seeing them together on Palladia years ago before I knew who they were and i was blown away. Hooked into his (and Warren's) playing ever since

[@raoul_duke7253]

Some of my most amazing concert memories are of Derek and Warren…

[@CorbCorbin]

I’m not much of a slide player, other than one or two string parts, that are simple, so I’m probably biased, but I prefer listening to Haynes. I’ve seen them in their own bands, in the Allman Bros., Derek and his wife, and even both of them with members of the North Mississippi All Stars, Branhall, Gary Clark, among many others. Derek just always seems to be holding back on the more intense jams, and I’m always wanting him to take it further, while Haynes may go too far occasionally, I’m often happy he did. Derek plays much of his Duane stuff note for note, and even sounds like he plays direct parts from live albums, at times. He has so many styles and things he can do, that I’ve still yet to witness him play live. He is a consummate pro, who always plays to make others sound better. For that, I think he’s actually the better musician.

[@stevelankford7087]

I agree, those two on stage with the Allman Brothers Band was hard to top.

[@racerdaveracerdave]

Derek is amazing. I had the great pleasure of seeing another slide legend, a true slide pioneer, Sonny Landreth, last week. Outstanding.

[@jimmypenrose1401]

I just saw Tedeschi Trucks on Tuesday with Los Lobos and the one thought that kept going through my head was "This is as close to seeing Duane Allman as I'm ever going to get." Guys like Derek are a national treasure and really only come along once in a generation. Please learn vicariously: NO MOTORCYCLES, DEREK!!!

[@ApolloSuns]

I have been fortunate enough to see Derek play 3 times live. So damn good. So much inspiration coming from him

[@pareto8021]

It's so good to see your love and dedication to music. This love and authenticity makes you who you are.

[@motorosso3349]

Thanks Rhett, for breaking down Derek's tune. The interview was awesome.

[@maurice19541]

Derek trucks is a national treasure -consumate slide guitar player as was Duane Allman who absolutely kicked the door wide open when he emerged onto the scene back in the late 60's. The Allman Brothers band, was in my opinion one of the greatest bands this country ever saw. Describing them would drain the vocabulary of superlatives. Mr. Trucks carries that torch of greatness now. God bless him. RIP Duane, Gregg, Berry and Derek. Best wishes and health to Dickie and Jaimoe.

[@allenmitchell09]

Man I saw the Derek trucks band a bunch of times and I’m so glad I did. Yonriko Scott was one of the finest to ever pick up a pair of sticks. Kofi, man! A musician’s musician. These guys are a fountain of endless inspiration.

[@andrewreese6257]

Every time I listen to Derek on any Album he blows my mind every single time! Sure do miss Kofi Burbridge had the opportunity to do some recording with him what a genius he was as well!

[@gregcharles999]

Thanks Rhett, nice to hear you covering Derek, he is truly one of the greats of all time. I had the fortune of seeing him with Clapton, Allman bros, and TTB a few times, unfortunalty not with his solo group. He alwasys inspires me, but to play like that would take several lifetimes in my case.

[@grene1955]

As a guitar player, I love watching you work on learning new styles. It shows that it takes effort and dedication, and the results are worth it. Sometimes it's frustrating, but it's an awesome feeling when you "get it". Keep up the great work!

[@arshanlakdawalla]

Thank you for making this video and breaking it down. Big fan of his slide playing too... Super glad that you kept the take with tiny mistakes in the end. Let's me know we are all human and a reminder that we all should keep practicing ♥

[@alexanderednie1205]

One of the few geniuses of my generation. Saw him when I was in high school in 99 and was blown away that he was only a few years older

[@jeffking887]

That interview was great. Aside from Derek’s ability, his knowledge of so many different musicians and records and styles is remarkable for someone so relatively young. And I agree about Derek’s right hand. I think you were getting there by the end. It’s that thumb and forefinger pinch that is both strong and subtle.

[@charlenetrawick1647]

thank you for this, I also love Derek's work. My first job as a pro photog was shooting Derek Trucks Band at a Jazz fest. SUCH down to earth folks to interact with.

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

When he said somewhere between Madagascar and Macon it reminded me of that line from Every Which Way But Loose when Cholo is standing on the highway and says "...Lord, you've given me these crosses to bear, and I will carry them from Jerusalem to Jackson, which ever is closer..." Rick really hit it out of the park with that interview. What a guy

[@OLOROTO]

I agree, the interview is Rick's best. It's a master class in music history and a workin class mans heart

[@Ottophil]

I loved the part how rick wasnt complaining about about copywrite strikes, or modern music, or yelling at clouds like a booomer

[@edphaze6550]

I watched the interview yesterday and was really inspired. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about Mr. Trucks!

[@thrumyeyesphoto]

I'm pretty new to Derek Trucks, but thoroughly enjoyed this song breakdown and Rick's fantastic interview. Derek seems like the purest of musicians and a very humble guy. His playing is so soulful and powerful. Very inspiring!

[@jettberg4581]

It was nice to watch the process of a great player learning a song by a great player.

[@edwardrice146]

Rick's video really made my day. I have been a fan of Derek since he started playing with the ABB bask in the day. The combination with Susan is just a match made in Heaven. I still remember hearing her for the first time. It was at the 9:30 club in Washington DC and she was opening for Johnny Lang. She came out with her Tele and slayed it.

[@scottkuester8946]

That Derek Trucks interview is one of the best ever...he's obviously so comfortable in his own skin, and there's a lot of info contained therein, although it's not really a "guitar" interview IMNSHO...more of an exercise in humanity...there's just love and peace pouring off the screen the entire time.

[@robichmi]

Thanks for that video! It's interesting to get the point of view of someone at your level commenting on Mr Trucks ability. And yes, I totally agree that he makes it look so easy. What an amazing musician! I don't know the man but I love him for what he does and what he projects as a human being. Thanks again!

[@jeffmazzei8520]

Derek Trucks and Jeff Beck are on a different level , always great

[@BOOLsheet]

Beck might have been on a different level 50 years ago. In this age, he wouldn’t even be average.

[@dmac-333]

Nice one Rhett. I first saw Derek when I went to see Clapton in the early 2000s. I had no idea who he was and he blew me away. Eric gave him most of the main solos, that's how good he is.

[@Scablander]

I was so stoked to see Rick's interview with Derek and I'm stoked to see this study. TY, dude!

[@sbingham1979]

OMG it is just what I did after the interview: went on search for that song, of which Derek played a most beautiful fragment. This is so great that you are already sharing it w. us!!

[@willpipes9795]

Ditto, Brother,My mind has been replaying that interview,over and over,so relaxed,so casual,we were definitely in the presence of greatness( through Rick)He is definitely on another level.Good job on the tune,so far.

[@iDannyism]

I think we can all agree that the idea of who the "best" guitarist is can be a bit sophomoric. For those who have been around a while we know the thousands of intangibles, and tangibles, that go into that statement, or question, for anyone who has ever loved guitar. Especially musicians who play the instrument. Here is the very big BUT here though: With Derek Trucks, it's not even close. He is so good, so complete, so talented, at this point there are just so few musicians who can keep up with him. And that's on all levels. His technique is crazy good but he has complete control of the "feel." If he wants a lazy, easy going vibe, it's there, if he wants super precise, exact key-for-key notes, it's there. He looks back with respect but changes everything he does. A mix of old school Jazz love, delta blues and Trad, all rolled into a skillset and speed that none can match right now. Then, as if that wasn't enough, he's a good guy that gives his time, is humble, never takes credit and makes sure you know about the greats. This guy is, right now, the best guitarist alive and I don't think it's a stretch to say ever. And in terms of the great musicians, he's going to go down as a great with Elmore, BB, Johnston, Coltrane, King, Irma. He's just on another level.

[@iDannyism]

@@joe34012 I mean, I think it's ignorant to say people are outright wrong but you're like, outright wrong. He has more creativity in a live set than most musicians can ever muster in a lifetime. He literally cut his teeth, as a kid, on live stages improvising. He is a student of great improvisers and is at the top of the game. In terms of of technical ability, even the great slide players and melody creators will tell you, Derek's skill is inhuman. So yeah, you're wrong.

[@iDannyism]

@@joe34012 oh lol, of course, it probably came off a lot more serious than it's meant. I was being overly dramatic for giggles more than anything.

[@iuchilton]

Just went and saw Tedeschi Trucks last night in Raleigh. Guy is flat out amazing. Could listen to him play for hours. Don’t sleep on Susan though, laid down some killer solos as well. What a band.

[@gmikebrittain]

I love that tune also...Silk and steel strings help me feel relaxed on acoustic. I enjoy your videos and learn a lot. Thanks Rhett

[@buddeek8044]

Thank you for posting!

[@riadmiah3342]

What makes it so great is DT plays it in a very felt manner.

[@stuffnuns]

I am not a guitarist, but hearing these voicings and watching how it’s done warms my heart. My chord voicings are somewhat limited on my diatonic harmonica. My nephew plays guitar, and your channel has opened his eyes to the richness of guitar and music itself. Respect.

[@rynolid802]

Derek's playing is a beacon of light and truth to me.. The only other man to move me to tears as much as Derek, was my father... whooping my ass when I was a kid!lol! Great video man! Yours and Rick's as well! Derek is a fantastic interview and a once in a lifetime musician!! Cheers!

[@Datimdavis2900]

Thanks for a great video. I live in Jacksonville - and Derek is a treasure. Every time I hear him play I am just blown away. I could only hope to sit as close to him as Rick did for an hour. Just an amazing player - and paired with Susan, they are a force

[@brianhildreth9099]

Your opening sentences might as well have been coming from my mouth. I feel and have felt that way about Derek's playing since the beginning. Being an Allman fan and seeing them 11 times, being a Susan fan since she was selling her own CDs at shows and being a music LOVER, I can't understand anyone who doesn't love Derek and his artistry. The guy is a guitar god and that Beato interview was the berries! I've watched it 3 times already..... Great video, thank you!

[@lowenderjones]

that opening phrase of the A section melody is a quote of "Martha My Dear", whether intentional or not

[@lukebarnaby2391]

I thought the same.

[@tomblaze2]

Have you heard ‘Martha’ by the Allman Bros.?

[@markjohnson9485]

Yes, it is..... great tune to "borrow " from 😉

[@CorbCorbin]

I heard the Little Martha, part, which Derek mentioned before playing it, but I definitely heard a little bit of the first piece of the vocal melody, of Martha, My Dear, as well.

[@CorbCorbin]

@@tomblaze2 I heard both Little Martha, which Derek mentioned was in there a bit, but there’s a tiny bit of the beginning of the vocal melody of Martha, My Dear, as well. Whether the original commenter meant to type Little Martha, or Martha My Dear, when I listened to the Beatles song, I heard it. Though, it might just be my brain messing with me, as I hear other songs in nearly every piece of music I hear as I’ve gotten older.

[@1jennifer]

Love this and bold as love and the Khruangbin video where you play though what/how artists play, highlighting parts you love and appreciate and WHY. Definitely one of my favourite kinds of videos of yours!

[@sauce_aux]

You don’t even have to be into the style to know Derek is an absolute beast.

[@timothygrupp]

Derek Trucks makes everything effortless and we find in such a seemingly simple melody that it is anything but effortless.

[@svcarlinabyandlarge1134]

Always love to watch Derek play and I loved watching him jam with the Colonel. Bruce was a dear friend of mine and had a regular poker game we played together. I was at the Fox that night and will never forget Bruce. We love and miss him dearly. Tell your dad Earl says hello.

[@johndogwater]

I'm with you Rhett, that interview was a KZbin masterpiece.

[@brucelangsteiner4599]

Such a beautiful combination of styles and sounds. Very emotionally based playing. This tune makes me want to sit by a fire in a comfortable chair and sip a nice single malt.

[@Grants_jams]

Honestly Derek doesn’t get enough hype from guitar KZbin community. He’s one of the best out there

[@bigsalupnorth]

I loved when he made the point that his band wrote without concern over payment distribution on Spotify in his interview with Rick. That is the essence of how bands should operate, but often times it's not. I loved your recent video with your band writing during rehearsal and the Texas gig. Spoke to my heart...

[@XxSkydog71xX]

Just imagine Derek and Duane Allman trading steamy licks on slide.

[@davidrusso675]

Thank you Rhett!! Keep the Derek stuff Coming!!!

[@amjrpain919]

Rick gives us a great interview alright! His general knowledge of music and the production part made it really interesting... He's really becoming a gifted interviewer. Ever noticed; The Best Players are some of the Best Listeners?...just say'n 👋😎🤙

[@1111MJR]

Rhett, you legend! I watched the interview and was thinking I have to try and work this out. Thank you for saving me the hassle. Thank you 😊 🙏 especially for explaining the chords and how they work.

[@ApolloSuns]

Hahah no kidding!

[@DDE_ADDICT]

I posted on Ricks page that this is the most important interview. Derek is quiet and shy so this is great for us. I also believe in my heart he will go down in history as the greatest slide player, he may become more important the Jimi Hendrix.

[@ras6783]

Being an English person I consider myself very lucky to have seen the Allman Brothers several times at the Beacon .... Including when they brought DT on as a young kid for the encore! I never got to see the DTB as they didn't really come to UK but saw Derek and Susan play at the 2008 Crossroads festival when they launched ( I think ) the TTB .... I also took my 9 year old son to see the best ever Clapton line up at the Albert Hall in London which is mentioned here DB2 , DT , Steve Jordan etc .... he is now a professional musician himself in the UK and states this as one of his most formative experiences. Ive seen TTB as many times as I can and have tickets for their London shows at the end of the year .... DT is without doubt my favourite guitar player of all time .... But more importantly I think it's great that in 2022 , when there's so much rubbish around , we can legitimately debate that Derek Trucks is THE greatest guitarist of all time !

[@jonathanj-g-yyelle6144]

_Great_ video Rhett! Lots of stuff in Derek's playing that shows what I need to work on myself! Thanks! And thanks for the link.

[@tripflycfi]

You have cool parents. My favorite thing is that my kids go to shows with me and they are your age. Creates an amazing bond. Btw, I agree… best Beato video yet. Keep up the great work.

[@brianboster7157]

I was learning this too yesterday.. Beautiful little piece. Can't get the fingerpicking totally right yet but getting there.

[@johnmeli9478]

The concert you mentioned that changed your life also changed the lives of the half million people who watch your channel. You have changed the landscape for guitar players around the world. Pretty cool. As far as Derek Trucks goes, when I first watched and heard him play slide guitar, my first thought was to abandon ever playing slide guitar because there was no way I could ever get anywhere near what he does. It still defies my eyes when I hear the sounds he gets all over the neck with absolutely no effort. It is amazing to listen to though. Im determined to see him play live.

[@langyampsdmb]

Derek sat in with the Dave Matthews Band this year on Lie in our graves. It was beyond words.. stunning!

[@mikecantreed]

I’ve been a Derek trucks fan for a long time. He is the GOAT. I enjoyed the hell out of Ricks interview.

[@dougcrowe1226]

Real nice- i love Derek’s style and sound- great job Rhett- love your style as well

[@fbvilela]

this was so nice! I hope the man himself watches this... beautifully put from a true fan

[@deanzat]

That was my favorite interview too. What a charming guy.

[@stevesuv]

Thanks for hipping the youngins to Duane...and Dickey who never get the credit they deserve. Great job Rhett.

[@brandonkaiser8344]

Derek Trucks was my first concert. I’ll never forget that.

[@nolancote6516]

Rhett has a new favorite guitarist of all time every video I love it though keep doing what your doing man

[@richardbarksdale3810]

Rhett don't put yourself down man, you did pretty awesome on that 👏.

[@raoul_duke7253]

The Wood Brothers are one of my favorite bands… ever. And damn nice guys to boot.

[@dylandenney3980]

Saw them last weekend at MMF in Somerset, KY. They're a perfect festival band. Super entertaining and they can make you feel like you've heard a song a hundred times the first time you hear it

[@buddeek8044]

Rhett, I watched the interview as well. It was awesome! And now you teaching a bit of it very cool bruh. I remember when Derek came into the Allman Brothers, and have followed him for years. The man is a history lesson in music .

[@johncox2552]

From the Derek Trucks Band to the Tedeschi Trucks Band,… the music is positive and filled with optimism. When the album “Joyful Noise” came out Guitar World did an article on Derek. I got the CD and have been a fan ever sense. Your description of the impact of his music on your life and.your desire to create music feels very familiar.

[@1111MJR]

Just listened to album 4 of The I Am The Moon and that piece is on there. Beautiful song and if I haven’t said so already, great lesson. That inverted E chord is really useful.

[@toploadtele]

I saw them at Red Rocks a few years ago.... It was remarkable!

[@carlsalazar4490]

I saw a live video of Derek playing, and saw him constantly working the volume knob. He must be so in tune with sound that he can make those minor adjustments. He can go from whisper to a roar.

[@markjohnson9485]

His slide playing is other worldly

[@travisjones75]

First DTB show was at Georgia Theater in Athens in the mid 90s. He was 15. He broke a string during the set and kindly gave it to me. He and Todd very kindly signed autographs for me on my drivers license renewal (I was maybe 19? had just renewed my license, and, back then, you got a temp. paper license). Held onto both of those for years and years because he's such a phenomenal player..

[@kdavis63]

It was an awesome interview!

[@alexperez3651]

Wow that song shook me. I’m close to tears it so pretty and melancholy

[@coryburns13]

Loved this video, and Ricks. Have seen TTB like 5 times but never got to see DTB, unfortunately. Still Derek is always so cool to see live.

[@AcousticOne]

Beautiful song thanks Rhett…Ricks interview with Derek was indeed the best to date and you just made my day going through this…PERFECT!

[@Thirsty_Deer_Studio]

Derek is amazing. And it's really cool your giving a lesson and learned it the day after it came out Rhett...😎🎸

[@ScottatHouseonaHill]

Got to meet Derek after a show in 2005 and he is probably the most down-to-earth musician out there.

[@petergoddard1960]

Derek Trucks is my favourite player, I have tickets for their Glasgow show in November (first time seeing him live) and I cannot wait.

[@petergoddard1960]

PS> I've watched Rick's interview three times already.

[@kpd987]

I first Saw DTB 1998 and loved them. I have seen him at least 10 plus times. I actually am a bigger fan of the original DTB lineup you saw than Tedeschi Trucks but it's all good. Thanks, awesome video from one of my favs.

[@JamesDGardner]

DTB was Derek Trucks fully unleashed. That lineup of Derek, Yonrico, Todd, Kofi, will never be topped in my opinion.

[@kpd987]

I got to see that line up at least 6 or 7 times even where I live! They were killer.

[@Sean_Farmer]

When I was watching Rick's video I was thinking of you and (not knowing when it was recorded) was wondering if you got to meet and hang out with him. This might be my favorite interview Rick has done, right up there with Bernard Purdie.

[@markcrain5317]

Thank you for sharing Rhett! I've been fumbling around with some fingerstyle acoustic stuff for a while that is just out of reach of my limited abilities. Artists like Michael Hedges, Bob Ross, Antoine Dufuor, etc. After playing classic rock and country for so many years it's been really nice trying expand into this type of playing. There's a guy in Indiana named Michael Kelsey that will blow you away with this type of stuff. His first album, Gruvency, was pretty much a religous experience for me. That's from 1996 when he was relatively young. His just released an album not too long ago and it's wonderful as well. Thanks again for sharing this Rhett!

[@stevemyers2092]

saw the video yesterday - I've been a fan of Ricks for a while now and you since I saw you on his videos... the never closing circle.

[@Bastion71]

You, Rick and Dave should take a little field trip... less than 2 hours south to Macon, GA. There's the Big House Museum (former home of the Allman Brothers), Capricorn Studios (home to the Allman Brothers, Wet Willie, Cowboy, Sea Level, Dixie Dregs, etc etc), The Otis Redding Foundation, and more. Spend a couple of days and you could get many hours of content!

[@ADAMBLAZEVIC]

When I started with guitar and saw that all the chords can fit into some pages I thought musicians will use all the combinations pretty soon :) As I started to dig in I saw that actually there are so many shapes and possible voicings and how one use these can really divide who is good and who is a legend like Derek Trucks.

[@Angrymobs62]

I just saw them 4/29/23 Birmingham AL They are beautiful!

[@RalfFalk]

Hi Red, my name is Ralf Falk and I`m from Germany. I did "abo" your channel long time ago and i totally agree with your opinion about Derek. But, about two years ago I icidently found a guy by the name of Kelly joe Phelps here on youtube and this has blown my mind until now. I found out he died shortly after I found him. Anyway, this man started with playing Jazz, then switched to more folky stiles and Blues and became a singer/songwriter in his qwn right. I taught myself to play guitar since when I was 12. I had my first gig at the age of 16. Since ten I never stopped practising and find myself looking for new things to put into my bag. So I happen to play sort of slide guitar starting at the age of 15. This took me quite far but when I listened to Kelly Joe it really stroke me. So Istarted to think my whole slide mess over. So now I `m so much better by leaning a lot from this guy. Shortly after that I found Joe Landreth, Dylan Adams, Charly Parr, Ariel Posen and some others. Every time I found one of those guys I found myself trying to assimilate the things that I heard, but still it is derek and Kelly Joe who got me on the way. So I really recomand to listen to kelly Joe. Greetings from Germany Ralf

[@ochayethenoo15]

And what a great guy, really enjoyed both videos.

[@michaelvaladez6570]

What would expect from a young man growing up around a multitude if musicians. An influx of different people of talent and listening to different genres of music.His talent is displayed hear not such much as how he's playing this comp,but it shows his interest in listening and combining the two different genres of music Macon Georgia and Madagascar....love it..he is a treasure..most definitely.!!!! Ps I saw him in my local venues and his mix of music genres was blues jazz ( Miles Davis)..country and Allman Brothers..a great show.

[@smokingtarheel3003]

Love this video, Rhett. Derek's interview with Rick was amazing. Great version of Derek's song. Quite impressive.

[@JW23551]

Such a great interview!

[@nathanwallis9936]

Saw Derek with Willie Nelson and Phil Lesh and Friends back in '02. Great show!

[@gregcross6560]

Fantastic video Rhett. I saw Tedeschi Trucks a few months ago and Derek's playing was stunning. Working on this tune using alternate bass fingerstyle. Challenging but I think I can get it to work. Thanks so much!
