Duane Allman was best known for his killer slide guitar playing, however, he was undoubtedly one of the better players when it came to traditional fretting and could play a mean blues lick. Live At Fillmore East is an epic Allman Brothers album and featured an awesome guitar solo by Duane on Stormy Monday.
You can check out the full Stormy Monday track at Last.fm where the solo starts at 3:35. You’ll hear this particular blues lick over the IV chord or C9 chord about 4 seconds into the solo. The lick works over a traditional blues scale but flirts with the major 3rd of the C chord with the full bend on the 10th fret (high E string) and the drop to the 9th fret (G string).
