Derek Trucks is one of my favorite slide guitarists. He is the founder of the Derek Trucks Band, and later on became a member of The Allman Brothers Band. Trucks has said that Duane Allman and Elmore James were the two slide guitarists who influenced him early on in his playing career. Enjoy these Derek trucks licks!
