Freddie did everything different and original. The way he slung his guitar over his shoulder, distortion before anybody else, played electric with a thumb pick and cranked up his amp and turned it sideways. I am a fiddler and I opened a few shows for Freddy and Grand Funk RR. Freddie was the greatest!
i guess im asking randomly but does anybody know a way to get back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost the account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me
Wow! - I was instantly able to mesh the Albert King licks in with the Johnny Winter riffs I had learned in a previous lesson...a great blend of similar styles. Thanx for the videos, Jeff! Keep them comming...
Thanks Jeff. Your lessons are excellent. Well explained, bite-sized bits that I can quickly work into my practice sessions. And, these lessons prompted me to discover the rockin' good Steepwater Band!
You are getting a great tone. To my knowledge Freddie never used a Fender Super Six. Like Albert Collins, he did use a Fender Quad Reverb. And on smaller gigs, a Twin Reverb. I've never seen an videos or pictures of him with a Super Reverb.
Just in case you have not seen it, here is a pretty interesting video with G.E. Smith playing Mike Bloomfield's original Tele ruclips.net/video/-B4yavD9AEY/видео.html I love Bloomfield's playing on the 'Highway 61 Revisited' album.
+Juniarco Chandra Bloomfield was a genius player who took a lot from Albert King in his blues work. On East / West, though, he was breaking totally new ground. His playing just took another leap into places no blues or rock player had gone yet. What's ironic about Bloomfield is, you can figure out what he's playing but you will never sound like him. He had one of the most unique styles of all time; better than Clapton at a comparable point, I think. More creative. Not to down EC, who deserves all the credit he gets. But Michael Bloomfield was way ahead of the game and today languishes far under the radar. He was a master of the guitar and a virtuoso of the blues.
the first finger bend? a guy I give lessons to said the same thing a few months ago and he is able to do it now. finger strength improves with practice. it sounds cool, it's worth the time. good luck.
Wasn't it a 345 that Freddie King played not a 355? That varitone switch on his guitar is all that made me wonder. Also love how you captured his aggressiveness.
+Ryan Williams ES 345's are also gold plated and have a varitone. The only differences from a 355 are cosmetic - rosewood fret board as opposed to ebony, split parallelogram inlays, and a larger head stock with the diamond inlay on it. The electronics and pickups were exactly the same. I've owned each and that's the story.
He used both 345 and 355s.... He switched to a 1962 Gibson es 345 in 1966... He used afew 345s all the way until about 71 or 72 when he changed to a 355 for his last year's
Reverb: please keep these lessons from Jeff coming. He is great!!

Oh wow , to have seen him live, that is awesome. And you're right he has such a powerful blues style
I was a blues man in recovery till I ran into you, now I've knoced off the dust from my axes and have backslid bad. I'm loving it. ty
That last lick is a staple of Jimmy Page's solo arsenal.
That's because Page is a student of the Blues Greats
I love the fact that he played an Epiphone Dot
It's a great guitar.

Jeff is really badass in blues licks
Wow! The agressive tone and phrasing is very similar than Freddie's. Great lesson, Sir!!!!
Please bring back this series
Definitely my favourite of the 3 Kings. Minimalist.
Freddie was the most versatile of the kings.... Albert was the minimalist of the 3
@@aaronbrown0417 Good observation. Albert King really did kinda have a limited lick range.
Freddy was a Good damn Fingerbanging legend !!!!
love all those early 60's federal recordings. lots of cool instrumentals as well.
What i love about those videos its that i always learn about a Legend i should've known. Keep on keepin' on !!
I really dig the color of the fingerboard on that Epi

Freddie all day long! Love my big Legged woman!
It just sounds like you are playing Since I’ve Been Loving you the whole time
Long live The King!
The Epiphone is Amazing
I just broke a string for the first time trying to learn the first riff
4:12 i can’t do that for the life of me

This was an excellent lesson. Thank you very much.
How about doing something on Clapton?
We've got you covered. bit.ly/2oLLeiI

That works perfectly. Thank you.
AW HELL YEAH
Fuck... So rad.
bloomfield please!!!

355s have the gold hardware is the difference. Other than that they are basically the same.
Ryan Williams
There all differnt.
If u ask aa collector there are alot of differences.
But all are semi hollow electrics with humbuckers
Ah. Yes forgot about the 355! Thanks guys.

I always associated the V with him
E the v is an Albert thing dude
King of Gain and Reverb “
Jeff, your awesome man but somebody get this guy a shot of espresso. Those licks need more energy!
Why can’t you play with the same guitar the artist has. Reverb is only a billion dollar company. Come on.
because you don't have to. equipment won't take you as far as feel.
