Old Friend - INTRO Lesson (Derek Trucks Lick 1) - Allman Bros chords
Start Jamming...
Hey guys, Dave Stone here and welcome.
Old friend by the Allman Brothers.
Got some really mouth-watering slide guitar going on between Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks.
And I really got into it.
So, [Bb] I'm just going to go through the intro, which I think is pretty [A] amazing.
And [B] I'll start off with the first Derek Trucks wick.
[B] And go through [Bb] the rest of them on different videos with Warren Haynes [A] and the rest of Trucks and stuff.
So, we're in the open D tuning.
[D] So, D, A, [Gb] D, F sharp, [D] A, D.
So, I'll just play the first lick, the first Trucks lick at full speed and then break it down.
So, it starts off with the three octaves on the Ds.
Then after that on the high A string, slides from the third fret to the fifth.
Hit that a couple of times and then go back down from the fifth to the third and then blow off from there.
Then after that, [E] it goes, hits the open A, then to the third fret.
And then back to the fourth.
Slides from the [G] fifth down to the third.
And as I'm pulling off from the third, I give it a bit of a nudge.
Just to give it a bit more guts and character, you know.
[A] [A]
And [N] I go from the fourth string, the fourth D string, slide from the fifth fret to the seventh.
Give it a bit of vibrato.
[A]
[G] Dig in a little bit.
Then I go from the fifth down to the third.
As I'm pulling off there, same thing as the top A string, [B] I give it a bit of a nudge as well.
So, in the beginning you can play along.
[D] [D]
[A] [G] So, after that, then we slide from the third fret to the fifth on the middle D.
[D] From the beginning.
[A] [G] Then after we've done this bit, we slide up to the seventh.
[D]
It just happens really quickly, so it's like
Then we go back down to the fifth fret on the D string and then we hit that once and then we hit the A string on the fifth fret twice and that's it.
So, from the very beginning slowly.
[A] [D]
[N] That's the lick.
So I hope you've enjoyed that.
Feel free to comment, subscribe and like if you do.
Thank you very much for watching.
[Eb] [E] Feel free to [D] message me at davestone.com. There's a hyphen in between the Dave and the Stone.
I hope you've enjoyed it guys and I look forward to speaking to
