3 Dickey Betts Licks From 1978

Here's the next episode of Three-For-All with 3 Dickey Betts Licks From 1978.
Without question, Dickey Betts is a firey bluesy Southern Rock guitar legend. From his biting single-note melodies and licks to intense string bending, rhythmic phrases that turn on a dime, soulful vibrato, and so much more - there's a reason why players still talk about The Allman Brothers to this day, and Dickey is a big part of that reason.

This lesson focuses on a number of slick blues-rock phrases that came from a live performance in 1978 featuring Dickey Betts & Great Southern performing the song 'Good Time Feeling.' The ideas shared here include some signature rhythmically twisted phrases that have become one of Dickey's trademarks, along with a raw tapped bending phrase (which was unusual for anyone in 1978), sequenced pentatonic phrases using legato, smooth and expressive vibrato, and much more.

If you're already a fan of The Allman Brothers and wish to tackle some of Dickey's finely-tuned ideas or even newcomers to this group/player can find plenty to sink their teeth into and twist their fingers with hiding in this lesson. From emotive licks and phrases to intense blues-rock ideas played with authority - there's plenty to learn from a player as talented and legendary as Mr. Dickey Betts!
