Derek is the best at this moment, but don’t forget to mention that he has currently the best band as well. No ego’s, just a great group of fabulous musicians that find joy in playing together.

It really blew me away when I heard him playing sitar lines and East Indian music with a slide. He was explaining that the ascending lines are in a major scale and descending lines are in a minor scale. When he plays the music comes alive. That was just drop dead.

A truly unique guitar player. I've never heard anyone play like Derek Trucks does. His guitar sounds like an old soul singer from the 60s and 70s. So melodic, tasteful and emotional.

The tightest, musically prolific band I've seen onstage since The Eagles concert I went to back in the early 80"s. TTB was THAT good. Such a big band and so well mixed that every single little bit has the space to shine thru. Top notch.

That’s the difference. His musical awareness. His technique is the best in the world. But he’s also always musically tuned in. His expression, his phrasing, dynamics, the guy has it all. And he emotes almost nothing through his face or body language. He channels it all through his hands. He’s the greatest electric guitar player alive. And I don’t even think it’s close.

Derek is the real deal.....no doubt about it. No bs either, just takes care of buisness, and does it very well. Him and his wife are VERY good, down to earth people too. Now to a review of Derek and Warren playing in the all an brothers.....it’ll blow your mind

Yeah, I don't like throwing the word "greatest" around, but when it comes to slide it's hard to not hand Derek that title. The only players I've heard that deservingly fall into his slide-playing category are Jr Brown and vintage Johnny Winter. Jr can be outright mind-blowing and there used to be a version on KZread of Johnny playing "Highway 61" that is EXPLOSIVE, but I can't track it down anymore (probably a copyright infringement or something of that nature). Also, Robert Randolph used to be rather nasty on the steel pedal, but for some reason he simply stopped shredding. That guy blew the roof off the Irving Plaza in NYC about 12 yrs ago, not sure why he stopped: its not as if he became wealthy from playing the current crap he's producing.

Derek started his career playing with his Uncle Butch Trucks band, The Allman Brothers Band. Even in those early years, Derek’s playing came from such a soulful place that Gregg Allman thought he was channeling his late, great brother, Duane Allman, arguably the greatest slide player ever. Gregg would close his eyes and imagine Duane on stage with him again. Someone below mentioned SRV-Derek, for me, is the first player since SRV to feel what he was playing so deeply that listeners can’t help but take that spiritual journey with him. There are many players who are technically proficient and can play with lightning flash speed, and are fun to listen to, but the music doesn’t stay with you. Hendrix changed people, Duane Allman changed people, SRV changed people, and Derek Trucks, IMHO, might be the only player of his generation that approaches those gods of the guitar in pure, simple feel.

Such a good way to describe Derek's unique style!

He doesn't have the same interests in music that Duane did. So no, having Derek isn't anything close to what it would be like if Duane was here.

I've seen him live a dozen times over the years starting with Clapton in '06, through the DTB and now TTB. His tone is just butter and molasses, his melody and phrasing are tapped into some supernatural essence, and his rhythms are inspired and profoundly moving... the entire time.

Fil, I've been playing guitar for almost 60 years and slide guitar since 1970 and I feel exactly the same way, my friend. Derek is out of this world. The only person I'd put in that league is Sonny Landreth, who breaks every rule and makes it all work. Sonny and Derek are quite a bit different but both masters. I took a lot from the great David Lindley and he's right there for melodic slide guitar, though he plays lap steel. Duane Allman was the guy who brought modern slide technique to the table and a prime influence for any slide fan. Derek really has taken Duane's style and kept expanding it. That was an incredible 2 1/2 minutes of slide artistry.

I remember going to see the Allman Brothers, having been a fan for years, and recently having been introduced to Govt. Mule. This was around 2002 or so. So I was going to see a band I liked with this great guitarist named Warren Haynes I recently had gotten into. Then suddenly there's this guy with long hair just about down to his waist, playing the absolute hell out of the guitar. My jaw hit the floor and I knew. This was the greatest guitarist I had ever seen live. Made me think of Jimi, Stevie, Janis, Cocker... Someone truly in the moment with the music. The music comes through them and passes to the audience and feeds back into the music, making it more than just a concert, it becomes an experience for everyone there. I've seen lots of great musicians ,but Derek is the only one who ever made me think if those legendary artists.

I've seen Derek play a bunch of times...in small venues...up close...and it's amazing to see how he gets the sound. Both his hands are mesmerizing. He also cares soooo much about his performance and product he delivers to his audience. For example, one show I saw he broke a string on his #1 SG during the 2nd to last encore...Tech swapped out for #2 SG...I just figured he would complete the last song with #2...but no...#1 came back perhaps a quarter of the way through the last song...

The melodic choices Derek makes have an almost 'Indian' flavor for me, kind of outside the usual western choices - his quirky physical style is unique!

I watch Eric Clapton watch him playing, with the corner of his eye, and that's said everything. Derek is the guitar player on spiritual level, probably reincarnation of the Duane Allman. It's proven in many cases that all departed people coming back in life in the same area among same people. I had seen so many excellent guitar players in many music styles and situation,.. but this guy is something - not from this world. Just watch how calm he is while he is playing, you can hear perfectly every single note, tune, no matter how fast he's playing. To playing with the Allman brother band you must be someone and something.

Derek plays slide with a "fluid" style: it's like watching water moving over the rocks and rapids.

He’s my favorite blend of beauty and soul! He can make you cry with his playing. His guitar isn’t playing, it’s singing.

Phil, well done on this opinion video. I love how much of a music fan you are. I can see it in your face, your eyes, your words. You get so excited over great music. This was a great video. I saw Derek about 10 years ago in Chapel Hill NC with Eric Clapton and Robert Cray. It was a Clapton Concert, Robert Cray was a guest and Derek was basically playing a lot of rhythm in the back ground, but I couldn't keep my eyes off Derek. It was my first exposure to him and he was memorizing! Especially when Eric gave him the spotlight for a solo. WOW!!! Thanks again Phil. You Rock!!

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

Greetings again. So glad you’re interested in Derek’s playing. Obviously he is strongly influenced by sitarists. U Srinivas was a biggie for him. Isn’t he wonderful!?!

His wife Susan ain't no slouch either! She rips through "The Sky Is Crying" Derek is simply always on point.
