_ _ Hey everybody, welcome to another slide video.
Today I want to talk about Dwayne Allman a little bit.
Dwayne Allman is one of those players that's just kind of embedded in my brain.
I'm sure a lot of you guys feel the same way, a lot of you players out there. _
_ _ I've subconsciously just picked up a lot of things that Dwayne did,
even if sometimes I can't even pinpoint which song he did it in.
I've grabbed it from somewhere and I wanted to go over some of the things you might hear him do
on multiple songs from live at the Fillmore or any other records.
One of my favorite things he does, this is a cool little trick,
is where he plays the same note in two different spots.
Like if we're in the key of D, I'm basically using pentatonic scale stuff,
but if I've got [F] a note here _ and here, he doubles the note.
_ _ [G] It gives this weird effect.
_ [Em] _ _ [N] A _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
lot of times he would end a phrase with that or throw it in the middle of a phrase. _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ Again, I'm playing with a pick.
Dwayne, I'm guessing, played slide with his fingers.
That's up to the player.
What I'm doing is basically the same note in two [C#m] different spots.
_ _ [D#] _ [F#] _ [F] It _ _ _ _ sounds really odd on its own, but when you put it in [N] _ _ _ _ _ _ contact_
[D#] _ _ I'd like to mention that although Dwayne Allman played in standard tuning,
he did do a lot of his slide work in open E.
I happen to be tuning standard right now,
just because I've adapted a lot of Dwayne Allman licks to standard.
_ Another thing that I _ found with Dwayne Allman is he would do these really high notes
that were really effective and just produce to mark the rip and end of a solo
or the start of a solo.
But again, now I'm in the key of A.
I like the way it sounds in the key of A.
I'm up in the pentatonic scale and the lick _ [G#m] is_
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [Em] So I'm basically in the pentatonic box, _ _ [Am] _ _
starting at about the 17th,
down to 15th, down to 17th on the B string, and sliding up to 20th fret on the E string
and beyond if you want, but the basic idea [A] is_
[C#] _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [N] And then I've ended a variety of ways, but the main idea, the Dwaynism in that would _ be_ _
[Em] _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
Yeah, you could find a lick like that, for example, would be the live version of One Way Out.
I believe he does something similar to that at the end of the solo.
_ _ _ _ [E]
[C] Another example of something Dwayne Allman might do would be play more in a major scale.
Like, for example, the song Dreams.
They're basically [D] soloing over a C major and a D major.
Just for example, if I were to solo off a _ [G] D_
_ [D] _ _ _ [N] _ _
_ _ So you can see right there I'm playing a little triplet here right off a D major [A] chord.
[D] _ _ _ [Em] _ [F#] _
_ Sliding that note there.
_ _ [B] _
[Dm] _ _ _ Going 7, 8, 10, up to 10 here.
And then finishing, this is a real common Dwayne Allman lick,
where I'm on a D major scale at the 15th fret, down to the 14th, down to the 15th of the B string.
And it's just [G] a _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
very melodic sound to it.
_ [D#] _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ So yeah, whenever you hear that half-step thing, that would be typical of something Dwayne Allman would do.
_ _ It gives it more of a major sound.
And even when he wasn't playing slide, _ _ _
[F] kind of the Allman Brothers sound is the way they mix the major scales with the minor scales.
That's a big part of the whole Southern Rock sound.
You get a lot of interesting melodies with or without the slide.
So there's a few licks that have kind of inspired me from the Dwayne Allman catalog.
So I would advise, if you haven't already, checking out any of their live stuff.
Any of their stuff, really, but live at the Fillmore especially is some of the greatest recorded electric slide playing ever.
So take what you can from it.
Twist it around, do your own thing with it, and have [E] fun. _
