    This volume examines the playing style of Albert King. Albert King is one of the most fiercely individual guitarists that ever lived, in any genre of music. Part of the uniqueness of his style stems from the fact that he took a right-handed guitar and turned it upside down and played it lefty; additionally, he tuned the strings down a full step and a half, making them very slinky and easy to bend, as string-bending is one of the most important elements in his approach.
    Albert's style is deceptive in that it sounds way simpler than it really is: he had a horde of stock licks and phrases that he relied on, but he never, ever sounded predictable, always mixing up his improvised riffs with pure inspiration and intensity. He often bent the strings one and a half, two and two and a half steps-known as "overbends"-and would also bend multiple strings at a time, creating a thunderously expressive sound. It is these types of licks that influenced the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton and Buddy Guy the most.

    The guy did 2 licks in 8 minutes, why is everyone complaining that he's going too fast? Calm down. If you can't handle this, then go to tabs and listen to the song. Go at your own pace.

    Really nice of you to put this bit up to share. I think someone already needs to know something about the guitar before they can access this information. Perhaps that's why some are not happy?

    A half step is the distance of one fret. So if you tune down a whole step your low E will be D. SRV tunes down a half step so he is in Eb.

    A half step is the distance of one fret. Tuning down a whole step would have your low E in D and so on with each string. SRV tuned down a half step - Eb. If he tuned up a half step it would be F

    Tuning down a step and a ½ will put you in C Albert is said to have tuned to C minor.
    That is of course how he was able to play all of his solos on Two strings mostly...He actually played much of his stuff on just the High E string just moving up and down the neck and bending the piss out of the high E string! He could and DID actually bend up to 3 full steps out of his E string...

  • @FrankSpeer66

    How do you NOT mention which pickup King primarily used and how he got his distorted vs clean sounds?
