Man, I saw Derek when he was 14 years old, he was already the head of his own band. The Derek truck band and his slide acumen has a little kid was ridiculous. He came to Houston and destroyed the guitar contest. It was crazy man I was hooked on that dude ever since and then once he got into the Allman Brothers Band, it really was a great era between him and Warren. It was just fucking face melted every time I saw him, dude I did the beacon run a couple times Too And Susan she ain’t no fucking slouch either dude bad ass vocalist amazing guitar player, but I don’t know, dude there’s something about Derek when you can sit there and play shoulder to shoulder with B.B. King and play his own songs better than him and BB tell you that, that’s pretty goddamn official in my opinion.
With that finger slide you gotta be precise where you land it and not sound out of tune... A lot of folks will just vibrato it, shrug and say "close enough" but not that dude. He has a fucking robotic arm. It's like a dot matrix printer learned how to play guitar!!!!!!
