Happy Birthday Derek Trucks | Guitar Solo Compilations

World renowned guitarist Derek Trucks turns a spry 36-years-old today. The former guitarist in The Allman Brothers Band has forged an impressive and prolific career since bursting onto the scene as six-string wunderkind decades ago. He’s traded licks with master guitarists like B.B. King, Buddy Guy Eric Clapton, Trey Anastasio, Warren Haynes, Jimmy Herring and many many more while developing a signature slide-based style and sound. In honor of Trucks’ 36 years we’re taking a close look at some of his most ripping solos from throughout his career.
