Soloing Secrets - Freddie King

Hey everyone! Here's the next episode of Soloing Secrets with one of my favorites - Mr. Freddie King! I've had requests to feature some of Freddie King's legendary music, and this lesson concludes this recent look at the "Three Kings" of blues music, with Albert, B.B., and now finally taking a look at some of Freddie's tasty blues guitar ideas - so let's dive in!
The ideas shared in this lesson were pulled from three of my favorite Freddie King albums, including music from Getting Ready, Texas Cannonball, and Burglar. This includes sections from songs such as 'Palace Of The King,' 'Pack It Up,' and 'Lowdown In Lodi' - to name a few!
I'm also adapting part of Freddie's unusual picking style in this lesson, as I'm using a metal fingerpick on my index finger played with lots of accented upstrokes. As you'll see, I've tried to channel some of Freddie's magic in this lesson, and this is the first time I've ever attempted to authentically play his way using a metal fingerpick. Playing this way really seems to add something when you use it and grab a plucked bend or single note with some extra authority and conviction.
Needless to say, if you're a Freddie King fan, a player searching for some classic licks/ideas to stick in their bag of tricks, or maybe you're just curious what all the fingerpicking fuss is about - this lesson is totally for you!
