Duane Betts - 1959 Gibson Les Paul Conversion & his father's 1956 Fender Stratocaster 

Ive seen Duane play live twice. Looks so much like his dad its crazy.

Can't believe seeing this kid. I lived across the street from Dickey in north Sarasota on the bay, Built a ramp with him for his bicycle, and evidently he lived through it.

The entire world owes Dickey Betts a handshake and a thank you. A sincere thank you.

R.I.P. Dickey Betts! He was a true master. Duane seems like a very humble cat.

Seems like a genuinely humble & articulate young man . He has some pretty big shoes to fill but give the kid a break and don’t pigeonhole him. And he sure sounds like his dad ! I’ve been a fan of the Bro’s since Idlewild South.

Who the heck gave duane betts any dislikes. This is one of the nicest kids playing music today I don't understand who the heck would even think of doing that

Nice playing. Same licks and the use of the scale like his dad. Love it. Best of luck young man. Your dad is one of my favorite players.

Duane is very talented and I have been lucky to have watched him perform many times and met his Dad at a show once. Keep Rockin!

Good to hear Dickey's doing well. A legend.

Wishing Duane Betts all the best!

Dickey Betts will always be the number 1 guitarist to me. Awesome to see his Son play

So glad he's keeping the legacy going. Rock on man!

It' a beautiful thing to see Dickie's boy carrying on the family name.

Duane Betts seems like fine, humble young man. Not easy with that name.

Ever since I saw the video of The Allman Brothers playing Blue Sky with Jack Pearson I’ve been in love with that strat

He is a GREAT PLAYER! Really enjoy Allman BettsBand. Duane’s modest and has an amazing future ahead. Due to his years in and around the business Duane knows how to fit perfectly into the confines of a band and showcase his ability. I hope he and Devon are committed to years of playing and building their own Legacy.

I have gotten to hang out with Duane ...he is a great son ..and he is worthy of both names and his Dad's legacy !!!

Rest in peace Dickey. What a hell of a player and songwriter

Duane seems so levelheaded and such a nice guy!!!!!! Very happy for him!!!

I’ve never seen an interview w Duane. Seems like a cool, well grounded young dude.

The Allman Brothers - THE BEST LIVE BAND EVER! Keep the legacy going, Duane!

Keep it going Duane Betts...and Devon....we need it now more than ever...for the luv of music!! Ya man!....

Ive so much respect for the allman brothers band and dickie Betts is right up there with Clapton and Hendrix his style is unique and unforgettable I’ve been a fan since the 70s and will continue to be so dickie and the allman bros band are as American as apple pie and I love them and it’s good to hear dickie is gigging.

Strat tone is just right. Long live your music and good for Norm to introduce your stuff.

It's GREAT TO SEE THESE KIDS OF THE OLD ROCKERS ARE CARRYING ON THE TORCH!!

These old 50s' or 60s' les paul headstocks are the best. Let's don't talk about the LP itself 😍😍😍

I hear that sweet southern sound that hits you right in the gut coming from those licks. Good luck to you kid.

Duane Betts wow what a name.

Duane, your daddy played in the Allmans with my dear old friend, Berry Oakley, may he rest in peace. Keep the flame burning young man!

He reminds me so much of Dickie .. His mannerism are identical. The way he scratches the side of his face... Proud he's coming into his own. I know he wants to be his own musician /person & that's great just remember to throw us old asses an Allman Brothers bone every now & then! ✌🏻 ♡

Saw him live in Indiana before they ventured to Europe this year. They are keeping the name alive and definitely deserve some respect.

ALLMAN BROS BAND. FILLMORE EAST. BEST LIVE RECORDING EVER !

Thanks for coming in and listening to me talk Duane. 😂

Great interview Norm wow , Duanes playing brought back memories of sitting in the Fillmore East for the saturday night midnight show ( Albert King , J Giles Band and the Allman Brothers Band )where they recorded the amazing Allman Brothers Band Live and the Fillmore. His dad along with Duane Allman ,Greg Allman and the band also with 2 drummers... so amazing I was blown away. I was just a young dude then but the memory has lasted a lifetime. Im sure Duane Betts will have a huge future making music for us to groove on to making the new cherished memories ... cant wait to see him and his band.

Love his EP fantastic musician, looking forward to seeing him and duane allman in September

I'd take that Strat! Love the hardtails. I wouldn't care one bit, if the pickup covers and the pickgaurd aren't stock. Wouldn't bother me at all!👍😎🎸🎶

He's got that Betts trade mark look and also a fine player his Dad must be proud !

Great interveiw. Thanks duane.

Can't wait to see Duane in October. Allman Betts Band, these guys rock. Glad to hear Dickey is doing well. Wish him well.

I saw Duane Betts live a couple summers ago and man is he legit. He can really play. Go see him if you have the chance!

I played with a band that opened for Dickie Betts at (The Coach House southern Ca) I had a chance to speak with Duane and the band outside during sound checks early in the day. He's a really nice young player, friendly and down to earth. It was a pleasure to open for Dickey and to meet his son. Play on brother Los Angeles

As always very informative. Love this channel

Very cool.I will check out Duanes stuff .I was digging what he was playing .Nice to see he is keeping on the tradition .Pop must be proud of em.

A real gentleman,,, and true Florida Boy ! Wish him nothing but the best ! 😆✌🕇💕

Look at 8:53 lmao..that guy nearly trips over the guitar stand. Imagine all of the guitars falling over like dominos😂.

Sweet interview, good luck Dwayne , thank you for sharing.✌️

What a nice talented young man, was a pleasure to watch!!!

What a cool guy. His dad is one of my all time guitar hero’s.

Your the man Norman!! Thanks for the information on the hardtail stratocaster.. BEAUTIFUL guitar 🎸 didn't realise that they made them that way in 1954 /1955.. Very nice!! You are a fountain ⛲ of knowledge

Duane is such a good dude

Your Dad came to my house 1 time with the Poindexter’s he was playing music with back in the late 70s. Unfortunately he didn’t come out of the bus cause he’d been up all night playing cards. But we did get them perform in Chapel Hill,? NCBest guitarist in the world!!!!❤

The Allman Brothers are still one of the most iconic classic Southern Rock bands ever, they're such a great band. Also isn't Duane in that band Dawes, I think?

I'm glad that so many rock stars' children inherit their talent and looks!

Saw Devon and Duane 2 nights ago, Great Show! Duane was playing that Strat. Hey Norm ask the question and LET HIM ANSWER!

Nice. I just listened to Bougainvillea. God Bless All you guys and the Great Allman Brothers Band! I grew up with them and got sober on their music in the early 90's.

Glad to see him following his fathers path. I live nearby in Tampa area, I hope to see him perform sometime.

Wow, he plays with amazing nuance and timing. Special player.

Both beautiful instruments !

Its fantastic to see the younger generation of such great musicians following the older influences of parents. I live in Lakeland Fla i hope i can see you live someplace!

Great Video Norm and company, it's almost as if you had me in mind specifically, as that specific somewhat affordable version of that sold 59 reworked les paul stuck in my mind a lot more then most guitars you guys have featured recently. I do love the amazing big band feel of the Allman Brothers, even decades later today it's a hell of a show to behold with Dereck Trucks, outside of Creedance's Clearwater Revival Americana music itself almost has never been done better. Yet even more I really, really, really love a ash bodied hard tail Stratocaster!...I've got a magical 1999 American Standard delta tone version which I've held dearly for coming up on 20 years soon, and it still sounds so much better, them my more recent hardtail acquisition 2015 Longboard Stratocaster. No doubt a early example from the mid 50's would be all that and a bottomless bag of chips more...8)

Man, he sounds and looks very much like his pops. Not a big Brothers fan but I think Dickey Betts is a very underrated guitar player unless you are a Allman Brothers fan, his solos were very melodic and Duane was probably the best slide player there ever was.

Great to hear and see.

Do your own thing Duane !!!

This was one of my favorite Norman's videos. Very interesting. I had no idea Daune and Blake Mills were childhood friends. Very cool.

Thats special..Alman & Betts back on atage...with a fresh new heartbeat...wirh yourh golden youth on their side...oh wow...im a fan

Caught Devon and Duane at West Hampton Beach NY awhile ago. Great show!

The interview was going great, really interesting stories but I felt deeply in laugh at 8:54 when the guy stumbles on the back 😂

He sounds like his dad Southern rock lives Thanks for this

WOW, he looks just like his father did in the 70's ! Seems like a very nice young man too.

Wow, Duane didn't fall far from the tree. I LOVED the sound of that conversion Les Paul. The hard tail sounded like a Tele to me. Both are awesome!!

Old wood + old parts = new magic! Sounds beautiful!

Thanks Norm!!

Very cool interview. Would've loved to hear more of his father's Strat.

Good to see lil Duane ✌️

Great interview and chat.

That was so good!, Dicky Betts´Son! his dad was the most amazing mellodic guitar players ever, such amazing ear for rythm and mellody (rumbling man anyone?). I wish him all the best, keep that name alive. Cool dude

Happy New Year Norman and Dwayne

Dickie Betts is one of the best guitar players ever, like top 15 in my view.

Dickey is one of my favorite guitarist.

Thanks Norman great interview the the son of one of the brother.

That fender ! Wow hear that sound.....great to see family keep it going,

He is like Duane and Dickey rolled up in one and he has a the looks of a hollywood actor

Wishing your dad a speedy recovery!

Duane Betts is awesome

Nice! I saw Dickey play that strat on July 4, 1997 at the Georgia International Horse Park show in Conyers Georgia!

Saw his father play that Strat. Cool seeing it here. Seems like a nice young man.

Love the story and love the tones

You know they are good when Norm shouts them out.

hats off to this man can hear and i hear a lot of almond in his guitar and man that's cool can't wait to hear some more and i am sure i will i see a light

Your dad Dicky bits was the one that made that van sound good but the way he picked and played Gregg Allman Come on that organ and piano awesome what a crew

and the Beat goes on

Wow talk about making what should have been a great conversation sound cheap. Duane, you did a damn good job being articulate and keeping it rolling.

Got see Duane Betts, Dickie betts and Devon allman in Macon Georgia what a great show would love to see them again

Really really cool!!!

Love the Strat’s tone

RIP Dickey 😔

I live in Macon Georgia and we just had an all blues festival here with Bettye Lavette and Larry McCray. Good stuff

Awesome !
