In this paper we use results on reducibility, localization and duality for the Almost Mathieu operator, $${{ {{\left({{H_{{b,\phi}} x}}\right)}}_n= x_{{n+1}} +x_{{n-1}} + b \cos{{\left({{2 \pi n \omega + \phi}}\right)}}x_n }}$$ onl2(ℤ) and its associated eigenvalue equation to deduce that forb≠0, ±2 and ω Diophantine the spectrum of the operator is a Cantor subset of the real line. This solves the so-called ‘‘Ten Martini Problem’’ for these values ofband ω. Moreover, we prove that for |b|≠0 small or large enough all spectral gaps predicted by the Gap Labelling theorem are open.
