this is very good. I watch a lot of these types of videos, you sound good and I like how you break it up and teach. Top notch!
Many years ago I met Albert King and he refused to shake my hand but heartily shook the hand of the black guitarist that I was with. Despite this obvious insult my love for Alberts ferocious bends did not diminish one iota. Thanks for such a great lesson.
Man I'm sorry to hear that, but thanks' for sharing.
Nothing worse than looking up to somebody, and then find out you are air to them.
From what I can gather the man had quite an ego. It’s disappointing, but he‘s still a blues legend nonetheless
Albert king was also bitter white guitarists were copying him despite all the Jim Crow shit going on
When Albert met Eric Clapton, he told Eric he really liked “that song called Strange Brew. I like that guitar solo.” Eric re-
plied, “You ought to. It’s yours!” He lifted almost all Albert’s solo from Oh Pretty Woman and/or Born Under A Bad Sign.
Albert only had about 6 licks. But it’s not WHAT you play, it’s HOW (and when) you play it. Albert naturally got that.
The best blues teacher
Another absolutely masterpiece! So smooth, and captured the Albert King feel perfectly. Headed to my guitar now! 👍👍
Awesome! Thank you!
You have a great teaching vibe and I really appreciate how you break this all down. Thanks! I'm 71 and got to see Albert King a few times in the 60's. Fillmore West in SF was my second home back then. $3.50 cover got you in to see 3 bands .. Lot's of good memories . Thanks again.
You can tell from this Albert King was one of SRVs main influences
Absolutely!
Hell yes again! Loving these blues lessons--thanks a lot Jack.
My pleasure!
not only a master bluesman, and a great teacher, Jack is also a great singer, we need to hear more of him.
Thank you!
I saw Albert in a small DC club in ‘77. You’d better turn your amp up. He was LOUD. You just can’t imagine the power.
He might of got that bending feel out of necessity. I've always heard that Albert was only occasionally actually in tune. Might be an urban myth.,Thanks Jack, excellent as always
Another great one Jack! Keep on keeping on!
One of my favorite channels. Glad I found this a few month ago. Astounding phrasing and playing.
Glad you enjoy it!
Love me some Albert King!! There's still so much you can learn from him. You nailed his style with these. Thanks Jack!
Thanks Jimmy!
I really got a lot out of the format you used on this and the BB King video of practicing the two bar phrases over the 12 bar progression. It really helped me incorporate the licks in my playing as opposed to practicing a solo all the way through. I love your teaching and playing. Thanks
I can get started with these thanks
That Danocaster Tele sounds terrific - and, of course, you're playing it with real mastery
Thanks! I think so too
Great breakdown! Hit on the subtle things you have to do, to try to get CLOSE to his tone. Love the vocabulary. One of the Great Masters I managed to see before they past. Great performer.
That's awesome!
Bare Finger / thumb picking has a distinctive sound that can't be duplicated
Awesome stuff, I've been looking for something like this to help my phrasing.
Another incredible lesson Jack!!!! Thanks so much. You still giving lessons. Have to hit u up for another one as its been awhile.
Sounds good!
Exactly the video I was looking for
You are true talent!
Steve
Licks to Get Started! Great series name man!! 🔥
Thanks Jack. Really enjoying your channel.
Glad you enjoy it!
Wow Jack! You really nail Albert's touch and tone 😎
Thank you!
Hi Jack stumbled across your channel yesterday. Great playing man. I'm an almost 50 year old beginner one year into my journey and luckily enough to be playing an Xotic XTC. I'm hoping to learn a lot from your channel. Best wishes from the UK🤘🏻
Thanks Jason!
A real classic here Jack, thanks
Thanks John!
Wow, Jack. You have amazing touch. Sweet playing my friend. Sweet!
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for another amazing blues lesson
My pleasure!
Another awesome presentation!
Thank you! Cheers!
Dude, you're awesome, congrats for your channel
Thank you!
Excellent, as always. Cheers.
Thanks for listening
Love this video ! One of the few people on earth that can actually sound like Albert King .
Thanks man!
Feel for days!! Bossing it Jack
Thank you!
thanx for the gold .
Enjoyed that and thank you !
Glad you enjoyed it
My Lord, what a tone!
Thank you!
Jack is the best 👍👍☝
Dude your playing is so damn enjoyable
How are you not at 100k plus subs!? Your content is awesome!! Keep it up.
Working on it!
My friend Chris agrees with me that Jack's a great player but too 'jazzy style' for his blues loving taste......which I never agreed with. Now, if this cool Albert King lesson doesn't put any notion of 'too jazzy' (not that there's anything wrong with it!) finally to rest........actually, I'd love to see a three Kings combination session as well!! Great lesson plus super fitting 'road worn' Olympic white Tele here as well, J.K.!! Jim C.
👍👍👍
Love the new danocaster man. Sounds amazing through that bassman.
Thanks man! I agree
Very cool.😊
Main Jack Ruch !🎉🎸
Thanks! Really good tips… one thing I read somewhere and I think it’s true is that Albert King played on the fretboard horizontally.
Wow what an intro. Need to bust out the strat now
Beautiful Intro 👌!
Thanks 😁
Yesss!!!
Thanks!
I will play the blues for you is my favorite song, l play along with that song lol he is awesome guitar player
Very tasty. A pleasure to see and listen to.
Badass, Jack! Thank you.
Do you have any suggestions for Albert King essential listening?
Born Under A Bad Sign (the album) - I'll Play the Blues For You (the album) - Live Wire/Blues Power - Thursday Night in San Francisco
Albert King himself would applaud that, Jack
Thanks!
My go-to channel for guitar education. Extremely grateful for this resource. Support the creators!
Brutal…👏🏾❤️🙏🏽🇦🇺
Would love to have that backing track
Yeah, BUT you need a Flying V!!! Just kidding Jack! Been loving AK for a long, long, long time! Thanks for sharing, Jack! 👍🎸✌️😎
You bet!
Great tone- what reverb are you using? Thanja!
No Flying V? Oh come on Jack! 😂🤘
Cool Jack, hey I’m just a hack but I know tone and your Bassman is sounding great. Did you add something that warmed up the tone?
No, but it's a pretty warm sounding amp already
@@JackRuch sounds different on the Tele today; less mid scooped than with your JW on other videos but my reference has been your Headstrong, which had less of that mid scoop too imho.
Did players like Albert King, ect..tune down 1/2 step or did they play in standard tuning?
Albert King tuned down to C# or sometimes C. So he was able to bend the high E string up several intervals
They all used .008 strings, Clapton and all the Kings
JACK RUCH, I'm confused about the BB Box because I don't know if its considered a Major Hexatonic or something else because the formula is 1-2-4-5-6 , NO 3rd or 7th.
You're the fucking man dude !
Thank you!
What tuning is this in?
C
You can't beat a bit of King Albert
No you certainly can't!
I subscribed & told others to also.
Hook us up. Break down a couple 12bar solos!!!
I always thought Hendrix & Stevie Ray came close to Albert King’s power, but couldn’t match his soulful feeling. You’re not near that level of power (maybe it’s the guitar), but you have that elusive touch.
Hendrix absolutely did, listen to machine gun. Man played in the Chitlin circuit.
🇦🇷PAPPO Y ALBERTO KING🇺🇲SON LO MISMO
Stevie Ray Vaughan was the absolute best at Albert’s licks. No one better.
