Derek Trucks playing Firebird

Derek is branching out with guitars here as he leaves the SG on the stand to play a vintage (probably) Gibson Firebird V.

Man I always Love his tone - if I have a preference it's for his earlier, cleaner SG sounds but it's all good in my book

I would guess with the screen name thrashmetl, that doesn't surprise me.

Well to each his own . When I hear Dereck, I hear strings, wood , and soul ! Nothing else in between. He is one of the few guitarist in today's world that really made an impression on me. We can agree to dis-agree, and all be friends

Man, we must be at different ends of the tone spectrum ... very few folks I've heard can play slide like Derek.

Great clip. Oteil sure is havin' fun. I always love Derek's tone. They band sounds great. He sounds great playing the bird. They are such wonderful guitars. I played a '64 Firebird III for many years.
Thanks for the clip Mark.
