Country Guitarist Reacts to Blues Legend, Albert King

[@sidwhelan6918]

Quick fact check: flying V came out in 1958. Also FYI Albert had his own tuning system: “Steve Cropper (who played rhythm guitar on many of King's Stax sessions), told Guitar Player magazine that King tuned his guitar to C-B-E-F#-B-E (low to high).”

I heard Albert preferred the flying V because the guitar is symmetrical. So when he flipped it over to play it, it was as comfortable as a left handed guitar.

There is a great old video of Albert jamming with Journey on a 1978 PBS special, look it up.

Like to mention that yes he played it upside down but unlike Hendrix he didn't switch the strings so a righty player could easily play his guitar. The other players like *Dick Dale, Slim Whitman, Otis Rush and Eric Gales.* They all did it effortlessly. *Love ❤️ Peace ✌️ and Happiness 😃 Y'all !!*

I dont know if you like classical ,but Kendrick Shen playing Gaspar Sanz 'Canarios' is a beautiful piece or for flemenco guitar "Flamenco Guitar - Sabicas - Fantasia"

Albert literally played upside down and backward without a pick, a left handed player who didn't restring the axe. his " pet licks" are just part of the rock , blues vocabulary that are inescapable for anyone who plays blues and rock guitar. Jim Hendrix , Clapton , Leslie West, Jimmy Page , Mick Taylor, Jeff Beck and any rock legend were all heavily influenced by the man who created his own unique sound and phrasing unlike any other player. oh yes and SRV who could not resist the temptation to imitate Alberts licks and phrasings over and over and over time and time again and were simply part of Stevie's "sound".
