Wow, can tell you’ve definitely put some time into studying the techniques Albert used. You’ve definitely got that sound underneath your fingers! Love the playing, keep doing what you guys are doing 👍🏻
Great lesson but the one thing I didn't hear you didn't mention was that you're tuned 1-1/2 steps down which makes those 2 whole step bends alot easier. And it's a lot more difficult to pull off on a Fender guitar vs Gibson in my opinion, (Long Scale vs Short Scale neck). Chris Cain is a master of Alberts style. Worth checking out in case any of your readers haven't heard him. (There are two guitar playing Chris Cains so be sure to look for the blues player, you'll hear a ton of both Kings, Albert and BB plus his own thing.
And told it how it was. Albert wasn't a fan of Hendrix, but raved about Stevie Ray Vaughn. Which isn't suprising. Hendrix wasn't as rooted in the blues as Stevie, and Albert was a bluesman through and through, obviously. Regardless. I could watch all 3 guys play all day long!
The neck of your fiddle looks really dry. I can see your finger appearing to hang up. Recommendation. A light application of Lemon oil to the fret board will make your fingers easily glide on the rosewood. It also sounds better when the neck is smoother. Cheers
I like it. Still rough but you definitely captured some of that Albert feeling about half way through. Best Albert licks I’ve heard in these online guitar searches I’ve done for getting Albert’s sound. The tuning definitely makes a difference. Keep it up you got something going there.
...first white hands I've ever seen squeeze those chops out of a Flying V. Big Props. Never seen or heard Eric OR Stevie suss Albert's signatures like that. Don't care what haters say,, if you're tuning down - CARRY ON. Wow. Love to see you live. Seriously, put that on a CD and let all of your subscribers know how to buy it. Cheers !
Man. MAN it sounds AMAZING…you just don’t get it unless you feel those notes in your HEART, and this definitely does the trick. Now (dang it) I need to practice. 😊
You got it as close as possible... one more guitar master could grasp what Albert did, as he was also lefty with the same string position, it was late great Otis Rush... Of course he had his own voice...
I loved the way you explained things compared to others I heard great teaching style if you could pdf tab for us to help along so many people could learn a lot from you I subscribed! thanx
The tuning as well plays a part with the string bending. As far as I know from reading he tuned ‘Lucy’ CFCFAD with the high E string tuned a whole step down to D, the B a whole step down to A, the G down to F, the D down to C and then the low A and E strings 2 whole steps down to F and C respectively.

Bro, I've met Albert King and let me tell you, YOU SOUND LIKE Albert King!!! Subscribed!!
I saw Albert 'The Baddest mother Guitarist Ever' and you got it. You got it. Impressed.

Albert tuned down and plays his guitar upside down. So the top string is the E light. This allows to pul on the string.
The man had hands like ball mitts. And touch like a butterfly.

Makes a nice change seeing someone who's selling something that can actually play !! Very nice touch
Ha ha, thanks so much
The best Albert King Imitation i’ve heard so far!!
When you listen with closed eyes, you Are expecting to hear Alberts Voice singing all the Time :D

Excellente. Cheers.
Did you learn his technique, or did you channel his spirit? Kudos.
Man. MAN it sounds AMAZING…you just don’t get it unless you feel those notes in your HEART, and this definitely does the trick. Now (dang it) I need to practice. 😊
Thank you for the wonderful lesson and happy new year! I look forward to the new videos that are coming this year.

Saw him live 1985 around. He is an absolute beast of a guitar player.
Damn son, I go out to hear you play that. You managed to cop that with NO SRV included.
You absolutely have the tone and technique my friend. My hats off to you sir.
Most excellent…….A.King would be proud man.
Wicked video
Thanks a lot for watching mate
You got it as close as possible... one more guitar master could grasp what Albert did, as he was also lefty with the same string position, it was late great Otis Rush... Of course he had his own voice...
I would not be able to tell the difference and I love Albert King.

That in sessions with Albert king and Stevie ray vaughn breeded a lot of future bluesman
Love the video, is there a link to that backing track? I havent found a stormy monday track that sounds this good
Please let me know the name and model number of the Pedal Pawn you used on this video - and can I purchase it from you ? Thanks !!!
4:05 I never felt more identified in my life with those existentials moments
😂😂❤️
Just broke my E string. Hahah. Nice one
That means you’re doing it right ha ha, thanks so much
Is the backingtrack available somewhere? Nice interpretation of AK
Awesome playing
Sorry we couldn’t work out a trade for the Texan twang but I’m still team chrimi🥰🥰
awsome video! next challenge, do a lesson on this solo please !!!!

Great! Which guitar pedal did you use? Phaser?
Same question 🤔

I love this tunning. All of my 3 guitar are buzzing with this tunning but i like buzzing😎
Will this tuning break my acoustic guitar? 😂
@@perkinsshaquan770you’re tuning down so nope it’ll be fine. Jesus please don’t tune your low E up to C! You’re neck will bend in half
What Guage strings are you using?
string gauge ?
What string brand and gauge do you use?
Tune the guitar down to C# (ie 3 steps down from normal E tuning) - use a set of 9s..it is very difficult to maintain good tuning..
SRV is Albert King on steroids, but nobody can bend like Albert.
🖐
0:03 did not need to see that.
and after that, here's what you do: CHANGE THE B AND E STRINGS SO NOTHING BREAKS!!! XD
Buy the recordings of SRV. BINGO!
O.o
Be like?
