He began playing in rock bands that toured Florida and the East Coast, forming Second Coming with future Allman Brothers Band bassist Berry Oakley in 1967.<\/p>\n<p>While working as a session musician in Muscle Shoals, Ala., Duane Allman began putting a band together that included Oakley and, through this connection, Betts. In 1969, after Duane convinced his brother Gregg Allman to return to the South from Los Angeles to sign and play organ, the Allman Brothers Band was born, with Duane and Betts playing guitar, Oakley on bass and Butch Trucks and John Lee Johnson, known by his stage names Jai Johanny Johanson or, simply Jaimoe, on drums.<\/p>\n<p>To the uninitiated, it might appear that Duane \u2014 who pioneered the slide guitar and was the driving force behind the band \u2014 was the lead guitarist, but Duane and Betts shared that responsibility, building off of each other\u2019s work and improvising complex harmonies.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dickey_Betts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read More About Dickey Betts<\/a><\/p><div id=\"morty-1461188046\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dickey Betts, a founding member of the renowned rock group the Allman Brothers Band, died at his home in Osprey, Florida on Thursday.
