Members scuzzo Posted May 9, 2009 Members Share Posted May 9, 2009 i really think Derek Trucks has his own thing going,, i consider his one of the best slide players among best slide players.. his touch and tone are amazing.. and his playing style is really cool too.. the way he gets such articulation and speed with just that thumb and fore finger style.. kinda like a bass player or a spanish guitar kinda style.. sorry cant spell flamingo.. just wanted to show some props for D Trucks!!

Members ChineseKnockoff Posted May 9, 2009 Members Share Posted May 9, 2009 I'[ll be seeing him in 3 or 4 weeks. I like the new album, and I'm looking forward to the show. So- he's getting my money. Can't get more appreciative than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members blingdogg Posted May 9, 2009 Members Share Posted May 9, 2009 Good to see you around again Mike Hope this band suits you better. I like Derek Trucks, but I don't listen to enough of his music. I know I should though, because he's pretty darned amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members benzem Posted May 9, 2009 Members Share Posted May 9, 2009 He is the most amazing slide player in some time. His attack and phrasing are brilliant. Jaw drop IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rob14 Posted May 9, 2009 Members Share Posted May 9, 2009 Great player and a great album. Derek has developed his own style and has great touch and feeling as scuzzo said. The guy is a real talent, I love what Duane did, but Derek isn't a mere copier of Duane, he's taking slide playing somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mikey4402 Posted May 9, 2009 Members Share Posted May 9, 2009 Amazing side player. Probley the 2nd best (alive) next to Warren Haynes. However i really dont care for his tone and hes boring to watch on stage. But I can look past that. I have two of his solos, cant think of the names off hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bubbluz Posted May 10, 2009 Members Share Posted May 10, 2009 Amazing side player. Probley the 2nd best (alive) next to Warren Haynes. I love them both,but I'd put Sonny Landreth a notch over them on the pole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members metallica_00 Posted May 10, 2009 Members Share Posted May 10, 2009 Derek is awesome. He's not Duane, he's very different and personally I think he's better. But I also like jazz, which Derek is very much rooted in. Duane is more blues-based. I personally prefer the older Trucks albums. Already Free is good but it's too safe. The new Jimmy Herring album is what the Trucks should have made but didn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to see him, it just didn't click. I am pissed about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SamsDaddy Posted May 10, 2009 Members Share Posted May 10, 2009 Derek is absolutely amazing to me, whether he is playing slide or not. His slide playing is what people tend to gush about, but he is equally good or better without the slide. And dammit, I think he's got some of the best tone out there. And watch his right hand in this vid. He's got awesome right hand technique that I would kill for:[YOUTUBE]5FlOJXL4j6k[/YOUTUBE] If you don't have the "ABB Live at the Beacon Theater" DVD you should go get it right now.

Members BeanoBoy Posted May 10, 2009 Members Share Posted May 10, 2009 I love them both,but I'd put Sonny Landreth a notch over them on the pole. I'd put Sonny up against anyone. Prefer Warren over Derek. My tastes lean more to the bluesy side. Derek is TOO precise, almost robot-like. He has amazing technique though. I prefer guys with a little dirt under their fingernails. Neither Sonny, Warren or Derek have the charisma of Skydog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LeftyTom Posted May 10, 2009 Members Share Posted May 10, 2009 DT has his own studio on his land in FL, backing against a swamp. I like his playing, and what I've read about him, seems liks a guy who would stop to talk to you on the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although im not side player. I havnt given up on much in my life...but i absolutly blow at slide playing. Maybe ill give it a shot again one day haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tp4mybunghol Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 I've seen him live twice, once with ABB and once with his band. Absolutely amazing! And yes him and warren trading off is a sight to behold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members larry50 Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 I love them both,but I'd put Sonny Landreth a notch over them on the pole. ++1 Landreth is amazing. Trucks plays with his fingers (no pick), so he can pull off some amazing phrasing, but I find his music to lack emotional punch, unlike Duane's playing. Plus, you can fall asleep watching him play.
