Derek Trucks is a master of guitar.

Cali- No. He’s not master of the guitar. He’s got his ears together. He’s a musician. He’s singing out loud on it. I’ll bet he could play anything and make melodic music. Maybe not as proficient as on the guitar ( because he’s spent decades on it), but I’ll bet he could. There are guitarists, and then there are musicians. And then there are Grammy award winning musicians. I think he’s spent some times on silent retreats to get his head together. Umm, on second thought, I think you’re right. He is a master of the guitar. 57 yo guitarist here. I listen to everything from Hound Dog to Gary Moore to David Lindley Ear training is more important than any 59 Les Paul guitar and a Marshall

Did you know that the bottle he uses to play slide was once owned by Sky Dog (Duane Allman) himself. It was a gift to Derek from his Uncle Butch Trucks

One of the best guitar players alive

He is starting to get the hang of it

How he appears so oblivious to the euforia he's causing around him is quite astounding

Correct and Brother Duane just Started it all but he had a Hand in it...

One of his greatest “tricks” is the quick brush across all the not always muted strings that he does between phrases. It mimics a human voice taking a breath. It’s just noise but very well placed noise. You can tell he studies Indian scales where different notes are used whether you are ascending or descending in the scale too. I love that he pretty much sticks to ONE guitar. Probably only switches when it falls apart from being played so much.

He has a God given talent that cannot be taught. He was born with a gift to produce sounds no one else can. Only one person, The Sky Dog!

Makes me believe in Reincarnation just for that TONE Alone.

Entire band is just so ridiculously talented.

Absolutely sacred! He is a legend and he is so humble. Played with so many greats!🎸🤟

Derek casually the best slide guitarist on the planet at age 13-14.

He's the second coming of Duane Allman. Honestly could be better than him even.

Compliments to the chef. Definite thumbs up. Great selections and good variety. Being huge ABB fans we've seen Derek since he was about 10-12 when he was already amazing. There's some really great slide players out there but he's #2 on our "Slide Guitar-Top 20" video and #1 is no longer alive so in our view nobody compares today. He's also on "Top 5 Guitar Players 2022" so you might say we like Derek Trucks a whole lot. Billy Strings tops our playlist currently and we've seen him play with every guitar player imaginable except Derek. It finally happened. It should happen more.

Ya know, watching Derek’s game through the years it’s just unimaginable how it is he just keeps getting better and better..!!

My first intro to Derek Trucks was at the 2010 Eric Clapton Crossroads Guitar Festival… The solo he did on Midnight in Harlem that afternoon in the 100-degree plus heat to a packed soccer stadium was mindblowingly beautiful! 🤩 Worthy of being at the top of this list! ✌🏼🤘🏽

Phenomenal talent. Beautiful melodies. Derek is the Alpha-Omega of Guitarists.

An absolute master at teasing the root note resolution as long as humanly possible haha

Someone asked BB King about slide and he said Elmore James, Duane Allman, Derek Trucks

Absolute legend! Midnight in Harlem live solo a fave of mine, though not as intense as these! Great video :)

MIIIKKEE! Thanks for watching! Yeah Midnight in Harlem is one of the best.

Fabulous !

I've said it before: Derek Trucks is an amazing guitarist and the best slide man since Duane Allman. He is a more than worthy successor. As he has matured, he has only gotten better. He's one of the most talented musicians performing today. richard -- Music is the companion of joy, the medicine of sorrow. - anonymous

Love how Tedeschi looks at her husband like how bandmates look at the other like "what are they doin now?" and then followed by "nice, they did it" with the musician stank face.

You should see Derek looks at his wife shortly before his solo on Midnight in Harlem, Live in Atlanta. And his solo there! My God!

Absolute insanity

Ya just gotta know Duane and Dickie are proud to know they started the generation of absolute great slide guitarists

The last one is fantastic (Midnight in Harlem).

Gods love shines through this man’s solos!

I hope you can continue to add to this list. A couple of these I had never heard/seen and are absolutely worthy. Another that I think could be added would be his Lie In Our Graves solo with Dave Matthews from June 2022 in Jacksonville.

Baddest in the land

Yes, I do remember him there was another young white player who played with BB King as well back in the 90's he was a bit older than this guy do anyone remember him.

From the makers of Cars and Plans. Now Trucks.

Born to play guitar and my god can he play

I’ve been watching and listening to Derek play since he was 9 years old and although these are good, they aren’t even Close to his Best. And how about Otiel Burbrige’s Bass on Desdenona? Derek is The Greatest Guitarist Alive Today.

Affirmed when BB King placed his hand on Derek’s shoulder and said, “That’s the best I’ve ever heard “

He isn’t he’s a better picker than slide all day long

A talent seconed to none

Top guitarists don't have time to sing. Too busy making music. Derek Trucks has got to be one of the top guys around today. Great finger style he alone invented himself obviously. Quietly making it happen. The Allman Brothers had an excellent pedigree. He has to lead because he is a leader on guitar. His strumming licks are also as good as it gets. He was born to play guitar. He takes you on a ride and back and that's how music is meant to be. One band I really wanna see.

sheesh

Channeling Duane Allman for sure.

Yeah, but can he play My Sharona?

You' all wanna buy a Derek Trucks pick?.......😂....................

I just commented this before I scrolled and saw your post. Thank you! Agreed!

A little too much influence from India style lately in my opinion. I prefer the Strait rock'n roll and blues style he played more of earlier.
