A Demi-God of slide guitar

[stubhead]

This guy is one of my top tone faves of this newish century - Dumble Overdrive, hmmm must be nice. As Eric Johnson says, his tone has that dangerous sound, like something might go WRONG* here soon...

*(The good wrong, not the bad wrong)

His newish CD is "From the Reach", and guests Johnson, Robben Ford, Mark Knopfler, Gill & Clapton all rise up and roar... seemingly, not all of the great licks have already been played, thank goodness!
Landreth & Johnson, the CD's much better sounding:

He fingers notes behind the slide, you can really see Landreth's "pull-on" technique here (he's got that tarantula right-hand mojo workin' too):

Here's that other guy (fruck, it's snowing out & here I is):

(There are cleaner Trucks clips out there, but he's got more juice than usual here)

I've got most of Sonny's work , have been a fan for about 20 years .

My favorite is still South of I-10  , although his older work like Prodigal Son and Blues Attack are also quite good.

Sonny ,Derek Trucks and Johnny Winter are all amazing slide players.
