Is Duane Allman out of tune on Layla?

axeman · 2015-07-20T08:59:04Z

I saw this topic on another forum and some vehemently argued that Duane's playing on the song Layla (not the whole album) is out of tune ("It's a fact!"). Others argued that he may have strayed into purposely hitting out of tune notes for effects at times. I have never really like Layla that much and always thought it sounded jarring but I never thought Duane was out of tune and find it hard to believe he would be given his incredible ear and precision. Out of tune, purposely placed off color notes or in tune playing on an abrasive sounding song? Thoughts?

THIS from Charlesinator......

Duane Allman was an incredibly talented, driven and charismatic individual who left a tremendous and important body of work when he passed away at 24 years of age. Let me reiterate 24 years of age! He will always be one of the greatest slide players and guitarists for that matter. All who come after (especially Southern musicians while we are on this Southern thing) owe a deep debt of gratitude to Duane every time they play from the heart.
