Hi guys! So, yeah, Zoso1968 :wave: I love listening to the Allman Bros.' Statesboro Blues! Here's a link to their chords...

(Stateboro Blues, written by Blind Willie McTell)

Maybe, one day, you give me a tutorial on slide guitar--Dickey Betts style. Wish I could do that! haha.

↓ Play the C7 like this. But play the red C7 when you feel like doing the fancy, nice melody descent, almost like they do. In other words, when you're transitioning from C7 to G7. Play the notes on G string, in this order the red, orange then green, then open. Then onto the G7 chord.

Sorry, no. I think he had a falling out with the Allmans then. That night, they had Derek Trucks and some other great guitarists in their line-up.

man.. is that him on slide with the lp?

That is the wonderfully talented Warren Haynes (also lead guitarist for Gov't Mule and The Dead). I saw him perform with both The Allman Brothers and The Dead at the Gorge back in May. He played for a total of about five hours!
