Duane Allman Slide Licks Improv

This is a request from some of my new You Tube friends around the world. I’ve communicated via email and You Tube with several players and music lovers out there. They asked if I would post something on electric. They know from looking at my home page that I am a Duane Allman nut. I saw Duane in August of ’71 at the Boston Common while on vacation. I had never heard anyone play slide like him. I was sixteen and a very impressionable youth. His playing had an impact on me that I still feel today. There are other great slide players (Derrick Trucks, Warren Haynes etc.) that were influenced by Duane. But, there was only one Skydog. I played a progression into my Boss loop sampler. Next, I played licks in Duane’s style (I hope) over the progression. The Firebird is in open E tuning. It’s been a long time since I played this style. I thought up the progression while driving home from work. I hope you like it. I’ve been playing mostly acoustic for the last couple of years.
