Blues Guitar Lesson: The Albert King Lick
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
- Albert King is, to many people, THE sound of the blues. I didn't realize just how much his influence is in every other guitar player until I spent some serious time listening and transcribing his licks.
So in this blues guitar lesson, we'll look at a sound that Albert King uses as a lick in almost every song. It may not be exact, but the structure is there and the idea is the same, with slight variations.

I'll also post this on my blog at bluesguitarunle...

Albert king called his tone " the torrid tone"..He definitely tuned his guitar to create his own style." Cadillac assembly line", " Guitar Man", and " Flat Tire" from his Stax album " I wanna get Funky" are my personal favorites..Great tutorial 🔥🔥
i love cross-cut saw.
Thank you for this video! When you're addicted to Albert King and Stevie Ray this is like a goldmine (if you haven't already hacked it by watching Albert King videos in super slow motion and using your ears).
Great lesson. It again shows that with the blues it’s all about making a lot out of very little. With the old blues masters it was more often than not a matter of instinctive approach rather than the number of notes played.
I keep telling you guys, you must have soul and rhythm to play that song and can't nobody play it like Albert King!!
I gave away all my money and rode a freight train for two days. Still didn't work))
One of my favorite Albert King song is the 1974 version of "Crosscut Saw" backed by The Bar Kays and if you listen closely, the rhythm of the song is borrowed from The Bar Kays 1967 hit "Soul Finger".
"Without Albert King, there would be no Stevie Ray Vaughan" - SRV
Legend goes ..... When Albert and Stevie Ray jammed that Albert demanded $10,000 for sounding so much like him. And Stevie had no problem paying him. Of course this is just a myth. But I actually read it. Soooo .... Idk. When I saw Stevie Ray I thought he sounded like Albert King. Absolutely.
Or Hendrix, Clapton, some Page stuff... in a way, Albert King has the greatest playing style in my opinion. His bends and vibratos are good enough to wow any crowd.
SRV was doing Albert King on steroids.
Henry Rodriguez Listen to some Live Albert and you’ll find the King had plenty of fire in his playing.
@@robacdc1977 So?
Great lesson! Just playing these licks improves my style, and they’re really fun
Thanks, Griff. You are one of my fav guitarists. Really appreciate you taking time to share.
Since Albert King didn’t use a standard tuning, he adapted a type of tuning to suite his upside down (right hand strung) guitar
I could never quite put my finger on why so much of Albert's playing sounded the same but not. This puts me at ease :)
A great deal of Albert's unique sound is due to the fact that he played lefty with the strings righty, so he bent by pulling instead of pushing. This makes it much easier to catch the b-string when bending the high-e. Crucial to Albert's style.
I had the good fortune of seeing Albert King live at B.L.U.E.S. on Halsted in Chicago half a dozen times back in the mid-1980s. Tiny club. No bigger than a bar. Tiny stage. Had to squeeze past Albert to go to the pisser.
I'll always remember how Albert would scowl at the band if he felt they weren't on the ball. Trust me, you don't want Albert King scowling at you!
Thankyou Griff. Stay awesome!
Great lesson but just one little comment.. You say that he uses box 2 of the minor pentatonic scale "occasionally"? That's known as the Albert King box so my guess is that he uses that a lot.
Hey Griff!! Thank you for all your great lessons. You’re a great teacher.
Thank you very cool little lesson love Albert!!
Thanks Griff! Good tips! I wish I would have seen this before BGU Live.........
I always bent the b flat to that d flat root note on the b string instead of hitting the root on the high e
Yea, I do it the same way. Albert King did it also like this
Great lesson. Thanks for sharing!
so is this relevant to any key?
It doesn't have any open strings so it's moveable anywhere on the neck
🇺🇸🎸Excellent idea, thanks, Signiore!
Super Cool man! Thanks.
That's a really nice gold top! What is it?

Speed rock is about playing a lotta notes with little emotion..... Blues is the where it began, you are being irreverent to a music that that made other styles matter... Your Al;bert King lick,is not all Albert King has to offer. The Simplicity is part of the genius....You know an Albert King lick.....but you cant touch him as a blues guitarist.....my friend... Don't mislead your students
I have to disagree. If I feel like I want to play fast, then I play fast because that's what I'm feeling - that's my emotion, and it's not yours or anyone else's place to debate that because you're not me. You may not like it, and it may not connect with you, but don't be so quick to dismiss it and call it irreverent. Of course Albert King has more to offer than this lick, but when I transcribe 48 bars of his music and I find this same finger movement come up over a dozen times, it's clearly an important part of his vocabulary.
i know this is a lesson but you could have gotten a lot better tone with little to no effort.. come on man..
brilliant lesson thanks
