Celebrity Death: Dickey Betts (Allman Bros Band) - 80

RIP Dickey

Even though he was often diminished in favor of St. Duane, I think he was the better guitarist. He had an amazing sense of melody and command of the fretboard, and was responsible for the best of the Allmans, Plus he had the best tone.

Those 57/58 Gold Tops might be the best electric guitar ever built. He could make them scream.

out of the big 4 guitar players from the allman bros he was by far my favorite. maybe even underrated. his lead playing was pretty unique if compared to other classic/hard rock guys.

No road trip with my dad was complete without Jessica being played several times.

Win, Lose, or Draw wasn’t their best LP but it did have this Betts gem

A few days ago I was driving around at night from the game blaring Ramblin' man. The solo is wild.
