In this video, I’m using a 12-string Martin D12X1AE with 4-year-old strings to play Led Zeppelin’s “The Rain Song”, which I learned yesterday for this video, then I put on new strings and tried it again. You be the judge.
This guitar lesson is how to play the Allman Brothers Band’s Dickey Betts intro guitar solo from “One Way Out” off the Macon City Auditorium Concert of 2/11/1972 CD. This is the first concert they played following the death of founding member Duane Allman.
From HittintheNote.com:
“The third Allman Brothers archival release, and perhaps the most poignant one. Recorded in Macon, GA in February 1972, these 2 CDs present the unified front that was the five-man version of the band as it gamely carried on following the loss of Duane Allman. Powerful music, played with lots of soul and heart and passion – music like you never heard before.”
