joke's on you: every Derek solo blows me away

[peerandersen]

When a guitar solo makes you cry and smile at the same time, you know it's about as good as it gets.

[patrickgarcia]

Not only is Derek amazing but the whole band just creates a mellifluous atmosphere around him to bend and break. The bass player alone is so melodic with his changes.

[randallbrown]

Since 2010 the band has probably done this same tune well over 1, 500 times, and the most amazing thing is Derek has a different opening and solo on each and every one of them. His creativity is off the charts. He approaches music as a true Jazz musician. You play what you are feeling at the moment.

[penguinista]

He is so insanely technically skilled and also has so much soul! I've never heard slide quite like he does it.
Thank you for highlighting this solo.

[themandolinmaniac]

His soft notes - his dynamics - are just so incredibly sweet. I don't know how you could possibly catch all that nuance in notation. Great job.

[amziadi]

Imagine being Susan Tedeschi and getting to listen to Derek Trucks practice at home all day

[beachcomber]

If this does not give you chills and maybe a tear in your eye, something is wrong.

[fitnesslibrarian]

There are lots of amazing guitarists throughout history including all the legends we all know, but not one of them gives me the feeling that trucks does when he plays slide. It’s other worldly.

[geschickt]

I've always loved how Trucks can go from lyrical & sweet to _rockin'_ and still lyrical & sweet...so naturally, effortlessly beautiful... ❤‍🔥

[themandolinmaniac]

One of my favorite guitar solos of all time - brings tears to my eyes every time - Thank you!

[tedcabana]

Derek is the most beautifully melodic slide players I've ever seen. Hands down.

[capurera]

Not gonna lie, i have had a special place in my heart for this solo in particular for a while. Thank you so mich

[Zigaboomusiczig]

Hard to quit listening to him, he’s incredible!

[KevinToine]

My absolute favorite live solo of this song!

[wkrell]

I love watching your transcriptions, Levi! It really helps us appreciate the actual music itself even more, seeing it all play out on a tab. Thank you!

[williamludwig]

A once in a generation player- from the first moment, I heard him almost 30 years ago I was blown away

[googlewalle]

Just when I thought I heard the best guitarists around and than this guy shows up...

[fusionfan]

Hey Levi, here an interesting suggestion for a transcription. I'm a huge Allan Holdsworth fan and everyone knows the incredible heights he reached, but I think one of his greatest solos is fairly early in his career, 1974 to be precise. Whilst in later years he looked back at his early stuff as primitive, there is no doubt that every era of his playing was beyond any mere mortal and remains genius to this day. Here I am talking about the solo on Hazard Profile Part 1 from the Bundles album by Soft Machine. Unlike his later paying, you can hear pick attack, muting, riffs, rock phrasing, etc, but what makes this extended solo pure genius is the melodic and thematic development. To be this creative over a fairly simply vamp is astonishing, and the way the solo just builds and builds is truly spiritual. Anyway Levi, if you are not familiar with this work of genius check it out, you won't regret it. Peace.

Derek is amazing for coming up with this solo and you're amazing for transcribing, Levi. Thanks so much for what you share with us all for free. I'll have to buy your guided practice routine so I can climb the infinite mountain of greatness to get a little closer to you and get a glimpse of what it's like to play like Derek.
