Don Felder Recounts Working With Tommy Petty, Stephen Stills and Duane Allman
. "I grew up in Gainesville, Florida, and there was an unusual number of unique talents that grew up there," says Felder. "Stephen Stills and I had a band together when we were 14, 15 years old. Tommy Petty is a few years younger than me � he was one of my guitar students. Duane and Gregg Allman lived in Daytona, but they would come to Gainesville and play in all the battle of the bands against us. They did all the fraternities and parties at the University of Florida. "I first encountered electric slide guitar from Duane Allman. I became very good friends with him; in fact, I sat on the floor of his mother's house in Daytona, and he showed me how to play slide guitar, the tunings and positions. I never wanted to emulate and copy Duane, but I learned my foundation from him. He was brilliant, of course. I stole everything I could from him � and Petty stole everything he could from me!" more on this story Gibson.com is an official news provider for the antiMusic.com.
