Some of us were fortunate enough to pick up a guitar at an early age. Derek Trucks, on the other hand, had nearly mastered the instrument at the ripe age of 13.

See for yourself in this video of Mr. Trucks opening for the Allman Brothers Band in 1993. Derek will be joined by his extremely talented wife, Susan Tedeschi, who can certainly hold her own alongside such a bright guitar star.

Come see Derek’s skills on display tonight (1/18/2012) at ACL Live at 7:30pm. Tickets available in advance online at acl-live.com.
