I can remember like it was yesterday. This guy took my playing from average to intermediate almost instantly. His boxes really unlocked the guitar for me. It was like an explosion of licks just came out of those boxes for me. That was 8 years ago. I learned all this from his free stuff on RUclips. Can only imagine what his course would have done.
either you got it or you don,t this stuff only makes you move faster because you already knew it''just didnt have the time to go thru it, and pick it up' this shit has to be in your mind already''if you ain,t got it,, you ain,t got it,, try learning Donny Osmond,,LOL'
Dude I've always wanted to learn how to play Stevie Ray stuff Albert King licks I'm from Clarksdale Mississippi and I know did Albert King and Eddie King and b.b. King I've seen all of them but I'm going to tell you something you do a good job on teaching I'd like to buy that lesson that DVD so I'm thinking about getting it I learn just by watching this free lesson on that first lick I never knew how to do it but I learn how to do it and it might matter of 10 minutes
Dude, I got to tell you. I Have been playing for 40 years and I know all those Albert King licks. But I must say, your way of presenting it on video is stupendous.Best teaching method ever. Plus, you really know how to play the shit and come correct with it.
13 years later still helping out players!! Such a wholesome time in RUclips. I love how open you are at the start saying how this an Ad for your Full Lessons :)
When I was a beginner and I watched a guitar lesson, I always said to myself 'why not film that guitar from a first person view?'. And look at you, the first guitar teacher I see to actually do it.
To all you people complaining about the tuning, if you can't handle him being a half step down, then you are not ready for this stuff anyway. It's really not a big deal. Are you just going to play these licks in the key you learn them? No (I hope not) learn to move the licks around.
Although Albert King was one of his greatest influences Stevie had many influences including Hendrix, T-Bone Walker, Freddy King, and Wes Montgomery just to name a few
@@rogercelletti1170 also Albert Collins, Jimmy Reed, Slim Harpo, Lightnin Hopkins, Otis Rush, Lonnie Mack, Ray Sharpe, etc etc. SRV is like a encyclopedia, you can find a lot of blues and rock and roll masters in his music
I came to appreciate Albert King more and more, obviously i first ran into Stevie ray Vaughan. Hearing Kings riffs, one easily finds out where Stevie had his licks from. Thanks a lot for the lessons ! tho i myself play on an Ovation guitar, still makes it great to play the blues :)
Did I miss the heads up that the tuning was non standard, that would help? Video looks great but all other videos are in standard and it's a hassle to detune. Great lesson though. Are all lessons detuned or is this just an Albert King thing? P.S> Thanks for the great lesson and great visuals.
You are the best..with feeling..a great sound.. a simplicity..S R V would be proud of you if..thank you to continue to teach, to propagate the soul of the blues.. thank you so much.. thank you for demystifying the guitar for us..and Let the Good Times Roll Mr .steviesnacks !!!!
Anthony, I just downloaded your lessons. I have countless Truefire lessons. Yours is the best of all. Really nicely done. The camera angle and many options are excellent. I tend to play the same simple licks over and over. This will open up my style a bunch. Your hard work and free videos here are appreciated by us all.
This lesson is so sick it should hospitalized! I will binge watch this til I'm Albertish! Vaughnish! Another eviction notice looms due to practicing into the wee hours of the night. You can expect eviction after evctiin for playing drums all nite.
littlejon64 To me AK has a richer Gibson tone while SRV has a wiry Fender tone. They are both great tones, but AK's tone is well-suited to his style which uses fewer notes and more bends.
TEXAS BLUES ALLEY, SRV used the univibe but on which stevie ray vaughan songs did he use the univibe on and for live concerts? He used the univibe to get those Albert King Phase bending effects
I've seen Eddie and Albert and BB King I saw Albert King live in Memphis and the seventies dude you do a real good job I'd like to buy that DVD I learned the first Lick in 10 minutes and I've been wanting to play Stevie Ray stuff for a long time I'm from Clarksdale Mississippi so you know I I pretty much like the Blues
I think its important that you tell players what gauge string you're using. 9s, 10s, 11s are going to play differently. Apologies if you've already addressed it. Thanks
Forreal I think that's why Stevie's licks were extra raw and tastey heavy guage strings amazing how he was able to hit those bends wit strings that heavy
ya i think he pretty clearly stated in the start of the video that these licks sound as close to albert as he can get IE yes it is something albert would do. check out some of his stuff and you'll see what he's talking about. its pretty spot on. this dude knows his shit and is a hell of a guitar player Kauan Musumeci
I'm just dying laughing at folk complaining about the tuning. Please for God sake never try to learn songs by the Rolling Stones. It might not be in standard tuning. lmao !

King was left-handed, but usually played right-handed guitars flipped over upside-down. ... Steve Cropper told Guitar Player magazine that King tuned his guitar to C-B-E-F#-B-E (low to high) whereas Dan Erlewine checked it several years later and found it tuned to C F C F A D.
What you like. I really don't get people that hear something good and immediately ask the string gauge and action and everything. Figure out what you like the you have your answer right there.
One thing that should be emphasized is that when bending notes, it's CRITICAL to bend up to the correct pitch. I notice in all these videos, that the instructor almost always bends sharp, bending past the desired pitch. It takes a lot of practice to perfect bends, which is evident here. This guy is an awesome teacher with great videos, but even his bends are almost always sharp when he bends the high e string up a full step. Ear Training is a must! Thanks for posting....JM
I'm just starting out. At the 4:11 , top E bend, how can I avoid the B and G strings flicking under my third finger and ringing out? It happens everytime I bend a up a full step on the top strings. I tried a low action and high action, nothing fixes it. Must I palm mute the other strings to do any bends? That doesn't seem right and it is difficult to palm mute specific strings. Help please. Thanks. Good lessons.
Bend with the pad of your finger trapping them not the tip which makes finger go under them mate You will cheese wire slice your fingers to start with though if they are not used to bending like that
Hey, I'm just asking but then isn't it better to learn Albert's licks and how he used them by transcribing his solos rather than buying a lesson? Not to say yours is bad but developing an ear is the only real way to get better at music right?
If you have the time to do it that way AND you're able to teach yourself AND you learn primarily by ear..... then yes. That's how I did it. But I was a college student with tons of free time. A lot of people don't have the time to learn that way, are not self-learners, and learn by observation rather than ear.
@@Texasbluesalley But still learning by ear is how all the greats before is did it. Are there any new players of repute who learn otherwise? Also working people can have enough time. Depends on your job of course but if you have 2 hours a day to practice that's more than enough, which if this is a priority in one's life, they can wake up early to put in that time. Maybe until you get to a particular level, these things might help. After that u can simply learn whatever by ear, jam with others and get better endlessly.
I can remember like it was yesterday. This guy took my playing from average to intermediate almost instantly. His boxes really unlocked the guitar for me. It was like an explosion of licks just came out of those boxes for me. That was 8 years ago. I learned all this from his free stuff on RUclips. Can only imagine what his course would have done.

For a bigger this is genius slowing everything down so the beginners don’t get frustrated right away .good job sir.👍
After ive heard Alberts licks, I realized that SRV really just alot of Alberts licks and maybe not so much of hendrixs
He played exactly in the 'Alber King style', only with more flair and variation at times. Albert king is source of it though, for sure
Hendrix's source was Buddy Guy. Red House is Hendrix trying to channel Buddy.
Although Albert King was one of his greatest influences Stevie had many influences including Hendrix, T-Bone Walker, Freddy King, and Wes Montgomery just to name a few
@@rogercelletti1170 for sure! i remember commenting this 9 years ago! Leanred so much from this channel!
@@rogercelletti1170 also Albert Collins, Jimmy Reed, Slim Harpo, Lightnin Hopkins, Otis Rush, Lonnie Mack, Ray Sharpe, etc etc. SRV is like a encyclopedia, you can find a lot of blues and rock and roll masters in his music
These are great, the way he does the lesson its comprehensive, straight talking,What more could you ask for, great work. keep up the Fridays!!!!!!!!
I just discovered your videos. By far the best and most organized presentation. You might get some of my money. Cheers
I came to appreciate Albert King more and more, obviously i first ran into Stevie ray Vaughan.
Hearing Kings riffs, one easily finds out where Stevie had his licks from.
Thanks a lot for the lessons !
tho i myself play on an Ovation guitar, still makes it great to play the blues :)
So happy these videos are still here! Your tone is awesome and so are your vids
This is the best instruction I've ever seen. I'm going to buy the entire DVD! Thanmks for the good stuff!
LOL, people are complaining about the tuning when the lesson is being spoon fed to them...
Did I miss the heads up that the tuning was non standard, that would help? Video looks great but all other videos are in standard and it's a hassle to detune. Great lesson though. Are all lessons detuned or is this just an Albert King thing? P.S> Thanks for the great lesson and great visuals.
@@rhllnm hassle? Srv, albert king, rory Gallagher, eric clapton, etc, played with D# tuning
@@Croccolucho exactly, also you can just play in box 2 starting from 2nd fret root note on the low E
@@Croccolucho not true
@esdenaze Yes, this is actual footage from the lessons. Every lick is taught with the same format.
GOOD shit here man!! You have no idea how much this is and the BB lessons have helped me
Great display of organization slow-motion really helpful. Easy to learn keep up the good work
Join Texas Blues Alley, it’s worth it, the box lessons and the Albert King series really took my playing to another level.
Excellent lesson. This is helping me get my Albert licks back!!!
You are the best..with feeling..a great sound.. a simplicity..S R V would be proud of you if..thank you to continue to teach, to propagate the soul of the blues.. thank you so much.. thank you for demystifying the guitar for us..and Let the Good Times Roll Mr .steviesnacks !!!!

SRV played Albert King loud he really loved Albert . Albert played funky blues out of the three kings.
This lesson is so sick it should hospitalized! I will binge watch this til I'm Albertish! Vaughnish! Another eviction notice looms due to practicing into the wee hours of the night. You can expect eviction after evctiin for playing drums all nite.
so glad i found you thanks for the help understanding .subbed
I’m loving this
brilliant, next level of guitar lesson...thank you
Looking good my friend.
You can see where SRV came up with his stuff right here!
Well not exactly right here but from Albert King for sure
albert king's style is much more laid back, a lot like BB King's. albert lingers over notes while SRV plays 12 notes a second.
I get that but the tones are so similar
littlejon64 To me AK has a richer Gibson tone while SRV has a wiry Fender tone. They are both great tones, but AK's tone is well-suited to his style which uses fewer notes and more bends.
TEXAS BLUES ALLEY, SRV used the univibe but on which stevie ray vaughan songs did he use the univibe on and for live concerts? He used the univibe to get those Albert King Phase bending effects
Thank you Anthony!
Really good mate
free lesson starts at 2:30 , but seriously check out the product. Great work Anthony
I don't think you've mentionned enough times that it's FREE.
ahaha
cant wait for the Alberts Influence !!!
I've seen Eddie and Albert and BB King I saw Albert King live in Memphis and the seventies dude you do a real good job I'd like to buy that DVD I learned the first Lick in 10 minutes and I've been wanting to play Stevie Ray stuff for a long time I'm from Clarksdale Mississippi so you know I I pretty much like the Blues
amazing job on the albert king lessons. I'm gonna buy the set for sure!
its a great video ive learned alot from it thanks stevie snacks for alberts influence..dont listen to the negatives
I think its important that you tell players what gauge string you're using. 9s, 10s, 11s are going to play differently. Apologies if you've already addressed it. Thanks

nice!
i wish i had seen this before the king of the blues contest!
2nd
free lesson friday is the shit!
Do you have any Albert Collins lessons?
Wonderful sound of your guitar!! Which effect did you use in the intro?
Thank you
I'm just dying laughing at folk complaining about the tuning. Please for God sake never try to learn songs by the Rolling Stones. It might not be in standard tuning. lmao !
“Cowboys are the only ones who stay in tune anyhow” - Hendrix
because the riffs, licks, and solos were all done in E flat, SRV and King!!
It says right in the video, he's tuned a half step flat. Just like Hendrix and SRV.
that's some serious string gauge right there!
Awesome! Awesome!
Callouses at 10:11. You can tell this guy really digs in.
Thank you bro!

What's that last albert king riff. It's jamming
GRACIAS ANTHONY
anthony, this is pretty damn nice, are àll the licks demonstrated like this with the colours and I IV V indications? Because this is pretty neat.
I really love the camera angle, this is helping me a lot!
Hmmm, I made the action extra super low and they don't flick under so bad... Still makes a ringing sound from the other strings.
Did Albert play a half step down all the time or just every now and then?
King was left-handed, but usually played right-handed guitars flipped over upside-down. ... Steve Cropper told Guitar Player magazine that King tuned his guitar to C-B-E-F#-B-E (low to high) whereas Dan Erlewine checked it several years later and found it tuned to C F C F A D.
really good man :)
Hi, what is the Strings' Gauge in ur guitar? Great Lesson though.
Do I hear Blues at Sunrise from Albert King and SRV In Session? :P
I wonder how Albert managed to learn guitar without RUclips
Where could I get this backing track?
yes!!!! nice!
Where did you get the stickers?
tasty! hey are you still using EXL115's?? (strings)
How can I purchase the dvd. The website isn’t working
are any more licks or lesson available on DVD ?
with like menus and stuff ?
gauge of strings? action?
What you like. I really don't get people that hear something good and immediately ask the string gauge and action and everything. Figure out what you like the you have your answer right there.
just saying it doesnt matter at all
Stevie eats alot of snacks
yes it is....amen

Hey where did you get that neck covering?
The guitar is tuned 1/2 step down, to Eb
thats one wobbly guitar
is this in eb?
I'm just starting out. At the 4:11 , top E bend, how can I avoid the B and G strings flicking under my third finger and ringing out? It happens everytime I bend a up a full step on the top strings.

Bend with the pad of your finger trapping them not the tip which makes finger go under them mate
You will cheese wire slice your fingers to start with though if they are not used to bending like that
I don't understand, are you selling the lesson or membership to a website? Sorry, seems like bait and switch, do not see the lesson for sale.
Back when this course came out I was selling courses, but we have converted to membership only in January of this year.
@@Texasbluesalley okay, thanks.
@@Texasbluesalley which means what? where do I join. I really want Albert's influences.
E flat to my ears. Like SRV's tuning
I wanna buy, but im um Brazil
Just put a few downloads on my ipad. Awesome.
Mantra - yeah, I can type!
Sweet
How is this in F# if the root is shown on the G note? Or am I missing something?
And if you tune down half step you get what??????? F# maybe?
Every string is tuned down a half step.
what song is this from?

Why’s your guitar tuned down half a step?
SRV tuned down a half step, with 13’s I believe.
Tuning matters. It goes to proper ear training….but yeah…free lesson lol
it's all about tone and touch. You can't learn the blues from vids like that. No way.
why does he play a all minor lick over the I , and then a more majorish lick over the IV, looks strange to me, is it sometinhg Albert would do ?
Check out which boxes go with which parts of the progression and how to get from box to box.. It will open up your world.
Dickey Betts did it all the time. A sweeter sounding blues lick
i find it funny that albert was left handed.
lol... sounds really funny slow mo-ed
This camera view screws with me to much, im a lefty watching a right handed guy play and it upside down.🤔
Just broke my high e string lol
easier to bend heavier strings that sound WAY more fatter than whimpy 9's
you will never get the right sound unless you flip the guitar and pull the strings down. Listen to Eric Gales if you want the real thing
you can't get Albert's correct sound unless you're pulling down on the strings. just like nobody can ever copy the late great Jeff Healy
Except hé play with treblé up and basse down
