Bobby Whitlock remembers Duane Allman, his Delaney & Bonnie and Derek & the Dominos bandmate, as slide master—a player who used an empty medicine bottle to make his Les Paul sing. "He showed me how to tune to an open E and had given me some real cool advice about where to put my thumb on the back of the neck, keeping it there as an anchor or a home to come back to. Then when you went to the second position it was the same thing, very good advice. ⁠It just takes being born to do it and do it well. It is something that you can either do with style or you just end up making so much noise. Duane could make it sing for you. He was one of the very first to step up to the plate with an electric slide guitar and hit a grand slam every time he put that Gibson on and stuck that Coricidin bottle on his finger." 📷W.
