We lost a great guitar player and musician today. His guitar playing was just so melodic and unique...I just loved his playing ("Ramblin' Man," Blue Sky," etc.al. Just incredible guitar playing). He had a rough life in a lot of ways, unfortunately...drug and alcohol issues, multiple marriages/divorces, a lot of health issues, etc. But his music still lives on.

RIP, Forrest Richard (Dickey) Betts. Thanks for the great music and guitar playing you gave us!

Has there ever been a combo like Duane Allman & Dickey Betts?

Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck with the Yardbirds? Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce with Cream? et al

Page and Beck did not do the same type of intertwined guitar work. Jack Bruce played bass, not guitar.

Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King.

A really great player, songwriter & singer. One of the most melodic guitar players in Southern Rock.

RIP Dickey.
