    Hey gang!
    Just a heads up, but I literally posted this video from a Denny's today, as the power has been out here since 4pm yesterday.
    I guess you can call me crazy or dedicated, but...I DID IT!
    I made this episode just before the power went out yesterday, and since that time I've been trying to find a place to upload it - Denny's won!
    Anyway, enjoy and I'll be back once the power comes back on!
    \m/ ROCK ON \m/

    Albert was somebody you didn't want to have problems with backstage before the show. The promoters wife got bumped and spilled her large hot coffee right on his chest. Really thought he was going to explode. He looked at us and said, "oh, that's alright Honey. I'm Ok." Then he went out and started and the front of the stage were 5-6 large Black women yelling, "Play the Thrill is Gone" . They kept yelling until several songs later he stopped & explained that was his cousin BB King and he's Albert King. He sighed big and played "The Thrill is Gone" . Could it have been worse? I don't know. But man he played hard and was very happy at the end. Took his cash and left. Great lesson Dave. You would have loved him. He was happy & tough at the same time. A true legend and showman. So glad for that nite. My friends wife, 50 years later, still apologizes for the hot coffee. (That was at the Cabooze in Minneapolis by the U of M. Still runnin')

    Index finger bends are something I copped from Albert.
    You can use them to great effect, and they're not really expected by most listeners. Especially when you adapt them to to playing genres outside the blues.

  • @jerrywilson4371
    @jerrywilson4371 4 месяца назад +5

    I think Albert (as well as being left handed) strung his guitar upside down. Added to his unique phrasing. He's bending by pulling when most of us push and vice versa. Thank God for Albert King. The world is better for him having been here

    Stax era (1966-74) is THE best time of Mr. King's career. From his live albums (Live Wire: Blues Power and the posthumous Wednesday/Thursday Night In San Francisco), as well as most studio recordings, I've always listened to how he tuned his open strings while he played.

    I had a VHS live A.K. tape from the 80's and in the coda they talked about figuring out his tuning. The had a camera on his hand for everything he played and by analyzing each frame to it's sound they indeed came up with this tuning. HOWEVER... They said that they could only assume the lowest tone string was a C because... he never played it once in the entire show! Perhaps low C is a proven fact, but I posit that there is another possibility that would make sense (that low C could be a bit wonky on a Flying V). Alternatively, one could easily tune the 5th AND 6th strings to unison F's. Gives you a solid, can't miss tonic on the bottom. I've done open G tuning in this manner and I like the way it works.

    Eric copied Albert nearly one to one there....and i think Erics best era was his mid to late 60s gibson time....once "cream" split it was game over for me....

    • @simonvanderheijden432

      Practise, most of the sound is in your hands. To my knowledge Dave is using, what most people (including myself) would consider, a "crappy" amp but he sounds amazing. Of course gear matters to some extend but Billy Gibbons (just an example) would sound a hundered times better on an Epiphone with a Boss Katana than I would playing Pearly Gates thru a vintage Marshall. A LOT of it is in your touch and feel. And dailing in your amps tone? There are no real rules, just keep twistin' those knobs "till you hear what you wanna hear. Happy hunting! (and practise your @ss off!!!!!)

      @LateNightLessons  4 месяца назад +4

      Right, but only the low E and A were down that far.
      The top four strings are tuned down a whole step, so it's a very odd tuning.
