    Came for Freddie, stayed to drool over that Les Paul... BTW you want to play like Freddie? Have the attitude. He absolutely was the bridge guitar player to rock. Anyone can find the I IV V but you have to feel it. Don't copy him, play rhythm over some of his stuff and then take off on your own, you'll feel it. Also, BIG KEY: Dynamics. Let the music have air for the notes to sing and be heard.

    that tone reminds me of one john dawson winter; who incidentally was on the cover of the first guitar world magazine back in 1980. i still have the issue.

      Freddie Played pretty Clean well said coming home late dec67 from the military in 1968 We caught up with Freddie at the Hideaway club in Austin also at Armadillo world headquarters but at the Hideaway Club in East Austin was a different show due to Mr Freddie played for his people and Mary and I were welcomed with open arms 6ft at the most from the stage he walked up to the Mic. Leaned his head way back and let it loose...Thanks for the Post enjoyed it ! The Angels are Pickin ! What an American Treasure ! Great Man a True Human Being....Goodness, Grace Happiness and good Health to all people of all Lands...ol man way down in TX JD Goodness Gracious ! What Memories !

The only devices I never tried are those Line 6 Helix, or the AXE FE, or Kemper Profiler, etc. I have to go buy a Fender Blues DeVille Now (4 x 10) of course.

      So only those posting videos of themselves performing get to comment and offer feedback or simply state an opinion? That's the logical conclusion of what you've set up. The whole "post your videos" bit is a common knee-jerk retort by those too simple or lazy to concern themselves with substantive critique. The relevant question is whether the guy actually watched the lesson, not some non-sequitur nonsense about whether or not a RUclips commenter posted video.
      By your idiot logic, a person that merely completed a course as a student would not be qualified to evaluate either the content of that course or the way in which that content was presented

The only issue will be explaining to my wife, when the box comes in, as to why I need more picks. I have literally hundreds of guitar picks, in cans, bowls, baggies, boxes, etc… going back to the 1960’s. Lots of flat picks, and several varieties of thumb and finger picks. She will not understand why I need more picks. Whenever o buy a new guitar, I get “I thought you already have a guitar!”. Takes hours to explain, but in the end, she’s always cool. I have to play her some Led Zeppelin, followed by a round of Cannonball Rag, then she’s ok.

    With all due respect, this video should be called----- "How to TRY to Play Like Freddie King". Because NOBODY can play like Freddie King except Freddie King himself. Freddie wasn't just a master guitarist in every way, he was also a fabulous singer, and above all, Freddie King was a complete musician. The kind the rest of the cats look up too. He had it all, he was the greatest, and he stands alone. There are others on his level, but very few.
