Notes

Live performance at LOCKN' Festival, August 24, 2019. Derek Trucks is known for using his signature Gibson SG with slide, plugged straight into a Fender Super Reverb with minimal to no pedals. Trey Anastasio played a custom Languedoc guitar through his own rig, but this profile is for Derek Trucks' solo section. No evidence of pedal use for Derek; amp reverb is likely. Year: 2019.

Difficulty

The solo requires expert slide technique, nuanced control of dynamics and phrasing, and the ability to maintain singing sustain and intonation at high volume in a live setting.
