Duane is an incredible guitarist and songwriter, who has forged an impressive musical career by any standard. The son of The Allman Brothers Band's legendary guitarist Dickey Betts (who named him after Duane Allman), he has readily filled those large shoes with aplomb, appearing for years with his father, and also with bands like Dawes, Jamtown (Donovan Frankenreiter, G. Love, and Cody Dickinson), Whitestarr, The Allman Betts Band, and his own projects, such as Duane Betts & The Pistoleers. Greg and Duane get into the gear and gristle!

7:05 - Growing up a Betts, Duane’s early musical taste, and his pull to the guitar
12:50 - What it was like having vintage Gibsons lying around the house, and Duane’s decision to go into music professionally
18:05 - Splitting time between the Allman Family Revival and Duane’s solo material, and Duane’s upbringing as a young Floridian 
26:42 - Gear, gear, more gear, and TONE!

50:43 - Talking about The Blues and other musicians, father and son, and some tour talk
