Dickey Betts has been one of rock music’s most influential guitarists, producing one hit song after another with the Allman Brothers.\u00a0 Dickey Betts, along with the members of the Allman Brothers, helped redefine rock music with hit songs like “Jessica,” “Ramblin’ Man,” and “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.”\u00a0 For this post I thought it would be cool to supply a few videos that feature performances of these three hit songs by Dickey Betts and the Allman Brothers.\u00a0 There’s also a special guitar lesson with Dickey Betts that explains how to play the song, “Jessica.”\u00a0 I hope you enjoy these videos from one of the greatest rock guitarists of our time, Dickey Betts!<\/p>\n

The first performance comes from 1982 and features the Allman Brothers performing their hit song, “Jessica.”\u00a0 Check it out at http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WfM6nRVBvGs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The next video I found for you features a step-by-step guitar lesson with Dickey Betts that explains how to play the different guitar parts of the song, “Jessica,” by the Allman Brothers.\u00a0 Check it out at http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QS1LHkTs4Mw<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The next video features the Allman Brothers later in the band’s successful career with a performance of the song, “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.”\u00a0 Not only does this performance offer great guitar work from Dickey Betts, it also features an outstanding performance from Allman Brothers guitarist, Warren Haynes.\u00a0 Check it out at http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1GxKMUzENoo&feature=related<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lastly, it wouldn’t be right to feature Dickey Betts and his songs without including the great Allman Brother’s hit song, “Ramblin’ Man.”\u00a0 Enjoy this performance at http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0WGVW7byRCA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Dickey Betts doesn’t currently tour with the Allman Brothers, he continues to be ranked among the greatest and most influential guitarists in rock music.\u00a0 I hope you enjoyed this little feature about the great guitarist, Dickey Betts.<\/p>\n

Thanks,<\/p>\n
