The 3 Steps to playing like Albert King!

[@zobtoyash1]

I would not be able to tell the difference and I love Albert King.

[@Harry20000Hl]

Wow, can tell you’ve definitely put some time into studying the techniques Albert used. You’ve definitely got that sound underneath your fingers! Love the playing, keep doing what you guys are doing 👍🏻

[@joeschmoe1301]

Bro, I've met Albert King and let me tell you, YOU SOUND LIKE Albert King!!! Subscribed!!

[@RogerSloop]

...first white hands I've ever seen squeeze those chops out of a Flying V. Big Props. Never seen or heard Eric OR Stevie suss Albert's signatures like that. Don't care what haters say,, if you're tuning down - CARRY ON. Wow. Love to see you live. Seriously, put that on a CD and let all of your subscribers know how to buy it. Cheers !

[@JustAGuitarPlayer]

Great lesson but the one thing I didn't hear you didn't mention was that you're tuned 1-1/2 steps down which makes those 2 whole step bends alot easier. And it's a lot more difficult to pull off on a Fender guitar vs Gibson in my opinion, (Long Scale vs Short Scale neck). Chris Cain is a master of Alberts style. Worth checking out in case any of your readers haven't heard him. (There are two guitar playing Chris Cains so be sure to look for the blues player, you'll hear a ton of both Kings, Albert and BB plus his own thing.

[@fredvanderlinden8908]

Albert tuned down and plays his guitar upside down. So the top string is the E light. This allows to pul on the string.

[@paulivy8423]

You guys are close, he used an 8 and 11 and a 14 on his top three strings, tuned 1 1/2 steps down, and played his signature turnaround in a completely different way than the usual box everyone's using try playing that lick going down

[@qat1959]

Thank you for the wonderful lesson and happy new year! I look forward to the new videos that are coming this year.

[@alrivera1084]

I saw Albert 'The Baddest mother Guitarist Ever' and you got it. You got it. Impressed.

[@maaaxx]

The best Albert King Imitation i’ve heard so far!! When you listen with closed eyes, you Are expecting to hear Alberts Voice singing all the Time :D

[@RealLegend1776]

Excellente. Cheers.

[@johnmason9221]

Saw him live 1985 around. He is an absolute beast of a guitar player.

[@zekuel_u41]

I like it. Still rough but you definitely captured some of that Albert feeling about half way through. Best Albert licks I’ve heard in these online guitar searches I’ve done for getting Albert’s sound. The tuning definitely makes a difference. Keep it up you got something going there.

[@Farrusco91]

man I'm amazed really!! the only one that could nail the Albert King Tone!! please let us know your setup!! I'll definitely purschase those pedals!!

[@shawnmartin4701]

You absolutely have the tone and technique my friend. My hats off to you sir.

[@thomaschandler1280]

Love the video, is there a link to that backing track? I havent found a stormy monday track that sounds this good

[@djw8133]

Makes a nice change seeing someone who's selling something that can actually play !! Very nice touch

[@PedalPawn]

Ha ha, thanks so much

[@57jimmyv]

Did you learn his technique, or did you channel his spirit? Kudos.

[@TonyKellogg]

Man. MAN it sounds AMAZING…you just don’t get it unless you feel those notes in your HEART, and this definitely does the trick. Now (dang it) I need to practice. 😊

[@billyhorton1254]

The man had hands like ball mitts. And touch like a butterfly.

[@yourdrummer2034]

And told it how it was. Albert wasn't a fan of Hendrix, but raved about Stevie Ray Vaughn. Which isn't suprising. Hendrix wasn't as rooted in the blues as Stevie, and Albert was a bluesman through and through, obviously. Regardless. I could watch all 3 guys play all day long!

[@kurtisslystne5250]

The neck of your fiddle looks really dry. I can see your finger appearing to hang up. Recommendation. A light application of Lemon oil to the fret board will make your fingers easily glide on the rosewood. It also sounds better when the neck is smoother. Cheers

[@RogerSloop]

Please let me know the name and model number of the Pedal Pawn you used on this video - and can I purchase it from you ? Thanks !!!

[@ensearchofyou]

Most excellent…….A.King would be proud man.

[@thehappyheretic2136]

I loved the way you explained things compared to others I heard great teaching style if you could pdf tab for us to help along so many people could learn a lot from you I subscribed! thanx

[@aminahmed2220]

What a fantastic video have a happy new year from Canada

[@icebeatmaker]

please put the link to my backing track in the description, thank you. nice guitar playing 👌👌

[@frealdohmohammed1388]

Damn son, I go out to hear you play that. You managed to cop that with NO SRV included.

[@sonnysilversmith2156]

What gauge strings and tuning did the mighty King use? damn u can play, you are a beast

[@jovanovicbranko01]

You got it as close as possible... one more guitar master could grasp what Albert did, as he was also lefty with the same string position, it was late great Otis Rush... Of course he had his own voice...

[@charlesandhisworld]

beautiful playing

[@PedalPawn]

Thanks so much

[@chadcat420]

SRV is Albert King on steroids, but nobody can bend like Albert.

[@AdrianAndersson]

Is the backingtrack available somewhere? Nice interpretation of AK

[@perkinsshaquan770]

That in sessions with Albert king and Stevie ray vaughn breeded a lot of future bluesman

[@mraggrovator]

Wicked video

[@PedalPawn]

Thanks a lot for watching mate

[@Егор-г3о1т]

Great! Which guitar pedal did you use? Phaser?

[@sebastianquinterosrisso6481]

Same question 🤔

[@aldairacosta4393]

4:05 I never felt more identified in my life with those existentials moments

[@PedalPawn]

😂😂❤️

[@FredJones-b9j]

What Guage strings are you using?

[@SonnyBluesMan]

string gauge ?

[@kyledrevlo1962]

Just broke my E string. Hahah. Nice one

[@PedalPawn]

That means you’re doing it right ha ha, thanks so much

[@stevenespinoza7735]

awsome video! next challenge, do a lesson on this solo please !!!!

[@staxmantim]

Wooooh!

[@jaysingleton6553]

What string brand and gauge do you use?

[@allbuzzedup1]

Tune the guitar down to C# (ie 3 steps down from normal E tuning) - use a set of 9s..it is very difficult to maintain good tuning..

[@postyz2882]

step one play upside down

[@billyjames1822]

Awesome playing Sorry we couldn’t work out a trade for the Texan twang but I’m still team chrimi🥰🥰

[@Rigel7WasAlreadyUsed]

0:03 did not need to see that.

[@chrislancaster7162]

The tuning as well plays a part with the string bending. As far as I know from reading he tuned ‘Lucy’ CFCFAD with the high E string tuned a whole step down to D, the B a whole step down to A, the G down to F, the D down to C and then the low A and E strings 2 whole steps down to F and C respectively.

[@rufus6888]

I love this tunning. All of my 3 guitar are buzzing with this tunning but i like buzzing😎

[@perkinsshaquan770]

Will this tuning break my acoustic guitar? 😂

[@chrislancaster7162]

⁠@@perkinsshaquan770you’re tuning down so nope it’ll be fine. Jesus please don’t tune your low E up to C! You’re neck will bend in half

[@elwolf8536]

🖐

[@paulivy8423]

So far everybody is wrong! It's very simple put an 8 and 11 and 14 on the top three strings, turn the guitar down a step and a half to c-sharp, just regular tuning down one and a half Semitones and use vibrato on the one note. And also everybody is playing in the wrong box! And lastly just watched the Stevie Ray Vaughan Albert video and you'll see Albert is playing higher on the neck than Stevie, who I think tune to e flat! Good luck

[@NoOne-kr4jc]

and after that, here's what you do: CHANGE THE B AND E STRINGS SO NOTHING BREAKS!!! XD

[@EricDavidHall]

O.o

[@pablonunezalvarez8441]

Be like?

[@bobsebring2819]

Buy the recordings of SRV. BINGO!
