    just pointing out my view of this.


    one could say.... warren haynes and derek truck are the lead guitar players for greg allman and the allman bros band i could only think the songs for them are played like they were written, and in the style of the allman bros band.

    as did ****ie betts when he was with them.

    i just seen warren haynes and his band govt mule play last week and he did not play in the allman bros style.

    also derek trucks has his band also the derek trucks band and it's not in the allman bros style :D

    Another vote for Duane Allman.
    Just the catalog of music he produced in the short time he was on earth. You have to imagine it was just the tip of the iceburg.
