whitefang Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 We did a LOT of that Eastern influenced sort of thing in the '60's. Never thought of using the "bottleneck" method though. (nobody anybody knew said "slide" back then ). Pretty nice approach! Whitefang I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left!

d halfnote Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 Derek T, if one looks at his technique, is definitely the heir to Duane Allman's playing style but has also taken things in a microtonal direction that owes much to the Mid-East & India. d=halfnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitefang Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 In THAT clip maybe. But generally, he just plays DAMN GOOD "slide" Whitefang I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d halfnote Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 Actually micro-tonality, albeit diff from the Muddy Waters style, is a foundation of Trucks's work overall. 2:35~6:40 / 6:45~9:45 / 9:50~end [video:youtube] 1:58-ish & 2:07-8-9 [video:youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhAcIuj3o1E d=halfnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Iverson Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Derek takes Eastern music seriously and even plays sarod sometimes; of course, he's not a formally trained Indian classical musician. For those who don't know what a "sarod" is, you can check out Ali Akbar Khan or Amjad Ali Khan on You tube, or you might remember it from the Concert for Bangla Desh, where AAK played with Ravi Shankar.

d halfnote Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 He's has, as he mentioned above, studied w/Khan, although that's a diff discipline than Indian music. As always, though, the ear of a skilled player is the primary tool. d=halfnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
