The Derek Trucks Band, 2002, from *Songlines*. Solo by *Derek Trucks*.

Trucks adapts Qawwali melody to slide guitar, one of the clearest statements of his cross-cultural approach.

Derek Trucks adapts Qawwali devotional melodies to slide guitar on this track, bringing the ornamented, vocal style of that tradition into a rock and jazz band setting. Playing a Gibson SG, he glides between pitches rather than simply landing on them, using microtonal slides and delicate vibrato that mimic a singer's inflection. The arrangement lets the melody unfold slowly, gaining intensity as the band builds beneath it. It remains one of the clearest statements of his cross-cultural approach and of how far slide guitar can reach beyond the blues. Listen for how Trucks shapes each phrase like a line of song, with long slides into target notes and tiny turns that decorate them without breaking the flow.
