Derek Trucks is absolutely mind-blowingly good.

He displays no emotion on stage, because every single feeling is shown in his playing. He's the whole reason I got into slide guitar!

Not only that, but the singer in the Derek Trucks Band is brilliant, such a cool voice!

The other guitarist looks like Hurley from Lost. Looks like the whole band have been hitting the bacon pretty hard :D

if you guys can get hold of the allmans dvd "live...at great woods"(i think thats what it called) its awesome.....the dickie betts/warren hayes teaming was a great mix, although derek is definitely a better slide player than warren.........................

P.S. I have always hated SG's they are like the old man "slippers and brown cardy" of guitars :|

Not really a big SG fan either, although I haven't played many. Can't really say why, just not my bag.

I don't like SGs because of the neck dive, ACDC, and Jack Black.

A while back I was looking for a backup gat and played an SG, and all I could think of was Jack Black in a schoolboy uniform...

Also, the neck dive is even worse on one of those SG shaped basses (EB?)

I really like that heavily distorted tone you get from SGs, like all through Weezer's stuff, but the guitar itself is pretty small

I like to think all the cool Weezertone comes from the Explorer.

I've had the best luck creating those sort of tones with Timi's SG and my old plexi
