#Guitar #GuitarLesson #AlbertKing
I fell under SRV's spell when I was 15ish or so, and I tried so hard to play every SRV note I could. I remember hearing over and over that Albert King was such a huge influence on Stevie but I had never heard his playing. When I got the Blues Power cassette home and played it, I was so completely blown away and I knew right away then and there where my hero, SRV got so much of his guitar vocabulary from. Blues Power is still one of the greatest most powerful recordings of blues guitar I have ever heard and I am sure I ever will. Texas Flood is Albert almost note for note in so many places. SRV took Albert's unique, and I mean UNIQUE style and processed it through his mega guitar mind, and it became part of who Stevie was. Lets Dance by David Bowie's guitar solo is basically an Albert King tribute. So good to hear Andy talk about Albert here as we seriously do not hear enough about that giant of the blues.
Andy is the man. I remember learning solos from his tabs over 30 years ago.
Back in the 80's when all we had was Guitar Player magazine to learn something on the guitar, and Andy transcribed so many of those tunes. We didn't have the luxury of the internet back in those days. I was learning by ear rewinding the tape or record, Andy's transcriptions, or taking lessons!
I was just 14 years old, living in a small town in the South of the Netherlands, and just getting into the blues through English guys like John Mayall and Eric Clapton, when I found "Live Wire. Blues Power" in a local shop that mainly sold stuff like radios and washing machines and had a small record section on the side. The record was priced down, probably because they figured they'd never sell it anyway, so I bought it and took it home and really loved it. Especially when I learned that he was left-handed, like me. Thanks for bringing back that memory.
I've been on a kick lately watching loads of youtube guitar instructional videos, and I must say Andy's material is absolutely the best. Anything Andy puts out is first class, real, unadulterated wholesome guitar stuff. One need not look any further -- anything we want to know about electric guitar playing is explained by Andy. Even the esoteric, far out stuff! From down home rootsy blues to all the great Chicago bluesman to British blues explosion in 1960s, including Hendrix, Beck, Clapton, Trower, SRV, and beyond. Amazing stuff.
Plus, Andy is a real scholar and teaches from first hand experience, having met and befriended many legendary players. He knows history of electric guitar inside-out.
Forever grateful to you, Andy :)
Alex--thank you so very much for your kind and very generous words...I am so glad the videos have been useful to you and very much appreciate your positive response to them. I do love to teach and my only objective is to breakdown and clarify what it is that our favorite players are doing--thank again and more vids are on the way!
@@AndyAledort777 Andy -- you're the real deal and you're one of the few who are keeping the flame alive! Question: I'm planning to launch my own guitar channel and would be honoured if you'd agree for a brief interview. Would like to talk with you about your amazing ability to continue the legacy of electric guitar playing into the 21st century. Please say yes!
@@AlexBunardzic Alex it would be an honor to be on your show so pls drop a line any time and we will get it happening--thank you!
@@AndyAledort777 Thank you so much Andy. You rock! I'll start preparing the groundwork and will let you know. Cheers!
@@AlexBunardzic sounds great looking forward to it!
Andy Aledort The King of Guitar Tablature.
Indeed he is!! Back in the 80's before the internet, we had Guitar Player magazine with guitar transcriptions from Andy and that was about it!
One of my favourites. I always have a copy of "Born Under A Bad Sign" in the car and play "Crosscut Saw" and "I'll Play The Blues For You" with my band. I've seen videos of him when he's in a rude mood (as SRV would say) but I only saw him live once in London in the late 1980s and he was all sweetness and light. He was relaxed and smoked a corncob pipe throughout the set. I guess he got more mellow in his old age 🤣
Great video from Andy , as always.
Just consider that Albert's mood change and temper could've had connections to his bad diabetes that eventually really destroyed his heart. Diabetes really messes up your mind and you can go from fiery to calm in minutes.
Sweet playing! and guitar ! But I also love the hat !!!
Incredible insights!
All these years Andy has seemed like he just was not into it. He is a really good player but it was always like why bother. Now he is funny and warm. Completely different. Very nice to see. What a pleasure.
My Father's Place was such a gem, The Vagrants, The Hassles, Vanilla Fudge, Leslie West, oh, such memories...
Loved the stories... thx
Great string bending tutorial
You gotta mean it to bend it like Albert....Ouch!
Glad you are digging the lesson, Elbar! 😎
You may get CLOSE to the sound but you’ll NEVER get the timing….. EVER!
All that delay is making your sound pretty horrible man, and quite far from Albert King. Consider that please..
