By his 13th birthday, Trucks had played alongside Buddy Guy and toured with Thunderhawk. Trucks began playing the guitar using a slide because it allowed him to play the guitar despite his small hands as a young guitarist. Trucks bought his first guitar at a yard sale for $5 at age nine and became a child prodigy, playing his first paid performance at age 11. According to Trucks, the name of Eric Clapton's band, Derek and the Dominos, had "something to do with the name if not the spelling". Trucks was born in Jacksonville, Florida.
