Duane Allman was an American, lead guitarist of the southern rock group The Allman Brothers Band, and session musician.  Duane was an incredible slide and blues guitar player.  He also played guitar on many interesting recording sessions for artists such as Aretha Franklin and Boz Scaggs. He also had a role on the Layla album from Derek and the Dominos.  He tuned to open E on a lot of his Allman Brothers work.  In 2003 Rolling stone ranks Duane Allman #2  in their list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time, second only to Jimi Hendrix.
