Love Dickey, my favorite guitarist

I always loved those bright singing harmonies Dickie et al did on those songs! \m/

I have to say, Mark, I've been enjoying your videos since your early days, and while they were always terrific, it's amazing to see the growth and progression in your playing, teaching, and overall production of your videos.

RIP Dickie

Loved the video DIckie did with his son showing the harmony lines in Jessica.

Jessica and Blue Sky are my favorite Allman tunes. I'd heard their earlier work and really liked Eat a Peach. But it was the Brothers and Sisters album that really won me over because of Dickey's style of playing.

Dickey bets had the best melodic sensibilities of anybody in the last 50+ years. I’ll die on that hill

I just heard that one of my favorite players Dickey passed this morning. Thanks for this video Mark.

Full of great stuff Thanks Markie.

What a great lesson!! I think i got this!! Now i just have to prove it to myself!!! Thank you!

I love your insight into the simplicity of signature players . I have always tried to keep my style simple .Even primitive . Complicated pieces are sometimes just too hard for me . So I keep it simple .

That double pick method he uses really give it a finger picking sound ! Its amazing ! Cant wait to experiment with it !!! Something I never noticed,,,TY Mark !!! I come here to get smarter and you never fail me brother !!! 😎✌️🎸💕🎶💕🎶

Great short (yet nicely condensed) lesson on Dickie and utilizing the major scale (with the twist!) in lieu of the tried and true minor pentatonic, M.Z.! Brothers & Sisters sealed the deal for me, but I really started catching on with the Filmore and especially Eat a Peach. Amazing telltale strength and popularity of any band that sadly loses their esteemed leader (Duane to that horrific motorcycle accident) and not only doesn't miss a beat and even thrives for decades after! Jim C.

Thank you for this video! Dickie Betts is da man!

Great job Mark! Love Jessica also. Unforgettable song.🖐🖤🦋🖤

Do more with what you already know. Players, (all of us) would do well to slowly digest that simple yet sage advice.

Not much to add other than this is a great lesson. Described perfectly for this eternal intermediate player. This will surely add a little wow, that sounds sweet to my playing. I know I'm enjoying it anyway and that's what really matters. Thank you much !!!! PEACE from Philadelphia

Thank you, I always love your tips . You actually showed me how to play Jessica, one of my favorite Allman Brothers songs

Great lesson as usual, love that Dickie Betts style and sound.

Great job Mark. Being a Peachhead for more decades than I care to recall, your comment about Dickey and the fiddle is spot on. I read somewhere years back that a music producer heard Dickey’s playing and commented that Dickey’s father must have been a fiddle player. Dickey’s playing, for me, is so melodic, example of Blue Sky, the playing is uplifting in a sense. Hearing many players over the decades, I find that only a handful can really move me, Dickey can move me with one note. PS: listening to At the Fillmore East shows how fierce the ABB was at that time. Duane’s playing was sensational and on those nights, Dickey was truly on fire.🔥

Love Dickie❤❤❤❤

Dicky Betts RIP

What a fantastic video have a wonderful weekend mark also happy st Patrick's day ❤😊

Dickie Betts.. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who thought he was a great guitarist.

👍 great stuff to incorporate in any guitar players bag of tricks !

Thanks Mark. I studied Dickey's style for some time. I certainly have improved but never quite sound as good as him or you. Dickey has something special in his brain/finger connection. It is a sound worth striving for however. All the best.

Nice one Mark!

First concert I saw at the famous Spectrum venue in Philadelphia, The Allman Brothers.

Great analysis!

I've always focused on Duane but ya, whenever Betts takes a solo it's a nice contrast. His style is very fluid and enjoyable - he's got plenty of great lines!

Love the work that you do Mark, which I have only just discovered. I am a beginner guitarist and so I am reluctant to say that I believe that their is an error on2.29 of your video when you refer to the Major Pentatonic but the diagram shows the E Minor Pentatonic. I hope that this is helpful to you. If I have wasted your time, I apologise.

You nailed it on this one.

Thanks for posting this!

Thank you so much!

Have you thought of illustrating the harmonic lead parts of Elizabeth Reed? I see you have the ability to show two guitars at once. Just a thought, Mark!

Great vid! Dickie is one of my favorites. You did it appears misplace the E major pentatonic on the first graphic. You show the minor form starting on 12th fret

Even Duane said Dickie was the best guitarist in the band.

Over the E you can also noodle with the major 7th (D#), but just be sure to avoid it during the A chord.

Good one Mark Good one!

Any tips on how Dickie harmonized the 2 guitar part solos? I know they were not the same note on both guitars.

Allman brothers without Dickey Betts is not the Allman Brothers. Good but Not the same for me.

Dickie's a great player I think he was a perfect mirror for Duane and would have been amazing if Duane and Berry didn't die, I think Duane's approach to music was key to their sound. DIckie's up there on my favorate's list but depending on the day I may say Duane is my #1 favorate of all time. Blue Sky is an amazing song I can play it all day

What you call "shuffle" picking, is often referred to as "Bettisms." That is what I and others have called it for decades.

How do you download the tablature to that last solo you played Mark? It was a nice solo

Have you ever listened to any Grinderswitch?

MARK, adding the A note to the major pentatonic scale is the 4th scale degree?

Great lesson. I'm not sure what you mean by "shuffle picking" in the last section. What characterizes shuffle picking? In that example?

You always make it look and sound so easy 🤦🏼‍♂️

This southern boy thinks Dickie is the GOAT. Great lesson.

🤍🎶🤍RIP Dickie Betts

Dicky could play a solo for days !!! And never bore you !!! Now thats an amazing and difficult thing to do !!! He was so good that he could also be a drunkard !!! Now if thats not impressive !!! 😂😂😂✌️✝️💕💕💕🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶

You da, man, Mark.

There is another guitar teacher on YT that calls that six-note signature lick the "Dickey Six."

Fantastik bruh

Only original member of the band is Jaimo. 😢🙏

Good stuff! But let's resolve: is it Dickey or Dickie?

What am I missing here? How do you get "A" at 5th string 15f and 2nd string 13f? Are you talking Am modulation from EM pentatonic by adding those C's to the shape? You lost me.✌️

Bett's you can always tell his style, it was the Major Pentatonic, but he was no Duane 😎
