Then let us stop worrying about it and just enjoy the great music he left behind. It's not as if Duane would have cared about such things anyway.
Shall we make this a Skydog thread? Post your favourite Duane Allman recordings.

This has to be my favorite studio solo by him. Although the climax to Hey Jude is legendary as well.

The second half of Mt. Jam is literal brilliance...

His work on Gregg's song Dreams was HIS favorite at the time...and it is indeed memorizing. Here live at Ludlow Garage 1970
(that being said- hearing Gregg's growl saddens me still)

it doesnt matter who is "best" I but I do think Derek Trucks is the emotional and spiritual successor to Duane
Would have been interesting to see what he would have been if he lived, he was getting better and better up until he died.

Duane was better than Clapton, he's the one who wrote the rift for Layla.

Ritchie Blackmore actually thought it was spelled "rift" at one time.
