Ive seen Duane play live twice. Looks so much like his dad its crazy.

Can't believe seeing this kid. I lived across the street from Dickey in north Sarasota on the bay, Built a ramp with him for his bicycle, and evidently he lived through it.

The entire world owes Dickey Betts a handshake and a thank you. A sincere thank you.

R.I.P. Dickey Betts! He was a true master. Duane seems like a very humble cat.

Wishing Duane Betts all the best!

Sometimes KZread puts the two thumbs so close to each other I end up hitting the down button. I quickly hit the up after that happens but often wonder if it was recorded as a down…

Seems like a genuinely humble & articulate young man . He has some pretty big shoes to fill but give the kid a break and don’t pigeonhole him. And he sure sounds like his dad ! I’ve been a fan of the Bro’s since Idlewild South.

Nice playing. Same licks and the use of the scale like his dad. Love it. Best of luck young man. Your dad is one of my favorite players.

Good to hear Dickey's doing well. A legend.

Duane Betts seems like fine, humble young man. Not easy with that name.

Due to his years in and around the business Duane knows how to fit perfectly into the confines of a band and showcase his ability.

Amen, bro. Duane and Devon have what it takes to be stars in their own right.

Ive so much respect for the allman brothers band and dickie Betts is right up there with Clapton and Hendrix his style is unique and unforgettable I’ve been a fan since the 70s and will continue to be so dickie and the allman bros band are as American as apple pie and I love them and it’s good to hear dickie is gigging.

Duane seems so levelheaded and such a nice guy!!!!!! Very happy for him!!!

I hear that sweet southern sound that hits you right in the gut coming from those licks. Good luck to you kid.

Strat tone is just right. Long live your music and good for Norm to introduce your stuff.

I’ve never seen an interview w Duane. Seems like a cool, well grounded young dude.

Love his EP fantastic musician, looking forward to seeing him and duane allman in September

These old 50s' or 60s' les paul headstocks are the best. Let's don't talk about the LP itself 😍😍😍

Great interview Norm wow , Duanes playing brought back memories of sitting in the Fillmore East for the saturday night midnight show ( Albert King , J Giles Band and the Allman Brothers Band )where they recorded the amazing Allman Brothers Band Live and the Fillmore. His dad along with Duane Allman ,Greg Allman and the band also with 2 drummers... so amazing I was blown away. I was just a young dude then but the memory has lasted a lifetime. Im sure Duane Betts will have a huge future making music for us to groove on to making the new cherished memories ... cant wait to see him and his band.

As always very informative. Love this channel

It's GREAT TO SEE THESE KIDS OF THE OLD ROCKERS ARE CARRYING ON THE TORCH!!

Thanks for coming in and listening to me talk Duane. 😂

Great interveiw. Thanks duane.

Both beautiful instruments !

He reminds me so much of Dickie .. His mannerism are identical. The way he scratches the side of his face... Proud he's coming into his own. I know he wants to be his own musician /person & that's great just remember to throw us old asses an Allman Brothers bone every now & then! ✌🏻 ♡

Saw him live in Indiana before they ventured to Europe this year. They are keeping the name alive and definitely deserve some respect.

I'd take that Strat! Love the hardtails. I wouldn't care one bit, if the pickup covers and the pickgaurd aren't stock. Wouldn't bother me at all!👍😎🎸🎶

Its fantastic to see the younger generation of such great musicians following the older influences of parents. I live in Lakeland Fla i hope i can see you live someplace!

Sweet interview, good luck Dwayne , thank you for sharing.✌️

What a nice talented young man, was a pleasure to watch!!!

Great to hear and see.

Very cool.I will check out Duanes stuff .I was digging what he was playing .Nice to see he is keeping on the tradition .Pop must be proud of em.

Glad to see him following his fathers path. I live nearby in Tampa area, I hope to see him perform sometime.

The Allman Brothers are still one of the most iconic classic Southern Rock bands ever, they're such a great band. Also isn't Duane in that band Dawes, I think?

Old wood + old parts = new magic! Sounds beautiful!

That fender ! Wow hear that sound.....great to see family keep it going,

Good to see lil Duane ✌️

Duane is such a good dude

Wow, he plays with amazing nuance and timing. Special player.

Nice. I just listened to Bougainvillea. God Bless All you guys and the Great Allman Brothers Band! I grew up with them and got sober on their music in the early 90's.

Thats special..Alman & Betts back on atage...with a fresh new heartbeat...wirh yourh golden youth on their side...oh wow...im a fan

hats off to this man can hear and i hear a lot of almond in his guitar and man that's cool can't wait to hear some more and i am sure i will i see a light

Got see Duane Betts, Dickie betts and Devon allman in Macon Georgia what a great show would love to see them again

Caught Devon and Duane at West Hampton Beach NY awhile ago. Great show!

Can't wait to see Duane in October. Allman Betts Band, these guys rock. Glad to hear Dickey is doing well. Wish him well.

I live in Macon Georgia and we just had an all blues festival here with Bettye Lavette and Larry McCray. Good stuff

Dickie Betts is one of the best guitar players ever, like top 15 in my view.

Rest in peace Dickey. What a hell of a player and songwriter

Very cool interview. Would've loved to hear more of his father's Strat.

I played with a band that opened for Dickie Betts at (The Coach House southern Ca) I had a chance to speak with Duane and the band outside during sound checks early in the day. He's a really nice young player, friendly and down to earth. It was a pleasure to open for Dickey and to meet his son. Play on brother Los Angeles

I saw Duane Betts live a couple summers ago and man is he legit. He can really play. Go see him if you have the chance!

Thanks Norman great interview the the son of one of the brother.

What a cool guy. His dad is one of my all time guitar hero’s.

He sounds like his dad Southern rock lives Thanks for this

Dickey is one of my favorite guitarist.

Great interview and chat.

and the Beat goes on

Great Video Norm and company, it's almost as if you had me in mind specifically, as that specific somewhat affordable version of that sold 59 reworked les paul stuck in my mind a lot more then most guitars you guys have featured recently. I do love the amazing big band feel of the Allman Brothers, even decades later today it's a hell of a show to behold with Dereck Trucks, outside of Creedance's Clearwater Revival Americana music itself almost has never been done better. Yet even more I really, really, really love a ash bodied hard tail Stratocaster!...I've got a magical 1999 American Standard delta tone version which I've held dearly for coming up on 20 years soon, and it still sounds so much better, them my more recent hardtail acquisition 2015 Longboard Stratocaster. No doubt a early example from the mid 50's would be all that and a bottomless bag of chips more...8)

He's got that Betts trade mark look and also a fine player his Dad must be proud !

Wow, Duane didn't fall far from the tree. I LOVED the sound of that conversion Les Paul. The hard tail sounded like a Tele to me. Both are awesome!!

A real gentleman,,, and true Florida Boy ! Wish him nothing but the best ! 😆✌🕇💕

Nice! I saw Dickey play that strat on July 4, 1997 at the Georgia International Horse Park show in Conyers Georgia!

I love the strat!

Wishing your dad a speedy recovery!

Fantastic player. 🤘🏻

This was one of my favorite Norman's videos. Very interesting. I had no idea Daune and Blake Mills were childhood friends. Very cool.

Happy New Year Norman and Dwayne

Norm you mentioned Bobby Caldwell who I take it is the same great singer that recorded "What You Won't Do For Love" in I think 1979... That song, the first time I heard it I shot right down to the local record store and bought the album...! Still, to this day, one of my all time favorite songs...!

Love the Strat’s tone

Duane Betts is awesome

Thanks for the interview, enjoyed it very much! Can anyone out there tell me what type of double stack pickups did Dickey Betts use in that Strat? Thanks!

Man I miss those nights at the old World Famous Malibu Inn when Backbone used to play!

RIP Dickey 😔

Those Nashville bends...

My First Album Allman Brothers live

Saw them in New Bedford Ma. The sow was awesome.

Saw his father play that Strat. Cool seeing it here. Seems like a nice young man.

Man, the Fender has so much character. Would love to play that.

Really really cool!!!

Your Dad came to my house 1 time with the Poindexter’s he was playing music with back in the late 70s. Unfortunately he didn’t come out of the bus cause he’d been up all night playing cards. But we did get them perform in Chapel Hill,? NCBest guitarist in the world!!!!❤
