3 Dickey Betts Licks From 1978

Hey everyone! Here's the next episode of Three-For-All with 3 Dickey Betts Licks From 1978. I've had a number of requests to feature more music from The Allman Brothers, and while I did feature them in a Chordplay episode a few years ago, along with a Three-For-All featuring Dickey (also a few years ago), I felt it was finally time to hit some more of their amazing and timeless music - let's dive in!

This lesson features a handful of licks/ideas that were pulled from a live TV appearance from 1978 featuring Dickey Betts and his solo group Great Southern. The previous Three-For-All lesson surrounding Dickey also featured licks from 1978 while he was playing with his group, but this episode features clips from a different performance. This lesson features footage from when Dickey & Co. were featured on The Midnight Special, and were captured rockin' out onstage with Charlie Daniels and Elvin Bishop - which was amazing to see.

The ideas shared here include an aggressive bluesy bending phrase, a finger-twisting "crazy fingers" sequence idea, a slick double-picked phrase, one of Dickey's elusive tapped bending phrases, and much more!

Needless to say, if you're a fan of The Allman Brothers/Dickey Betts, Southern Rock/Classic Rock, a player searching for some expressive and emotive licks/phrases to play around with, or maybe you're just curious what all the fuss is about - this lesson is totally for you!
