Playing blues is all about timing, and timing is mostly instinctual. It can be picked apart on a recording, but having it for yourself is another thing entirely. It's what makes one person's blues playing different from someone else's, even when playing the same tune. It also separates good blues players from great blues players. I haven't seen many YT teachers talk a lot about the role timing plays in good guitar solos, so I'm pleased that you are talking about it.
Nice job, Anthony! There are SO many reasons why SO many Blues/Rock players of the past 50 years studied Albert King licks! Pure, Raw, Emotion! Powerful, Intoxicating Guitar!! Albert Ruled!!! 👍🎸✌️😎
You know sometimes you see or hear a concept and it instantly shifts your perception and understanding of something? This was one of those moments for me
Albert King started out as a drummer, so, timing, in spades, he had, and then thrown in his left handed, upside down, one of a kind tuning, and he was a Blues Killer, the very best!
Do you allso made a lessin about how to practice those vibato tenique? I'm thinking of trye your lessons and pay for your courses, because I'm stuck with my playing and can't move on since two years 😬🙈
Yep, same. This is the primary way for me to practice. I simply slow a song down using Transcribe or something and it works wonders in getting the timing right.
Albert had that rare talent of being able to hang onto a note before playing the next, hanging on a fraction of a second longer and the whole thing sounds c**p, hope that make sense.
@@Ericleeproject Oh yea the highhat.. that makes sense. Also how the beat starts off... It counts in threes, not fours. Or maybe my brain is just confused
it would be much easier to understand the timing if you showed it a bar before the actual lick. your brain catches the beat and you feel lick better. and here you start with the first guitar sound right away and it's much harder to feel the timing of the lick. otherwise great video ty

Watching him live, him and the snare are so synced and the communication is so tight it’s beautiful.
Well said!!
Great job really. A discover after I've playing Albert King for 10 years and never realised it. Congratulations!

Great lesson!

Awesome lesson. Thanks Anthony.
the display on the fretboard is a neat idea (I'm new here)
Albert King. My introduction to the blues!
Blues 101, The King of Pattern 2 on the 1st, 2nd & 3rd Strings!
So I put this on in the background and I didn't realize it was you playing. I thought "What Albert King song is this?"
Thank you. I worked really hard to nail his style for this course.
Was it his Stormy Monday cover ?
Combination of licks from Blues Power, Blues at Sunrise, Laundromat Blues, etc...
@@Texasbluesalley nicely done! My favorite king of the 3 kings

Yes!
Anthony, can I get that Albert King tone in Amplitube 5? I know they have tons of tones but are there a few that's close. Thanks
REALLY COOL
Albert king was the king of cool.
Filing his nails then jumping bacc in while playing with SRV is the epitome of cool and being a master 💯🤣
@@CeaserTAMG when was that?
Him and SRV have a blues special. It’s somewhere during the taping
Albert was sofa king cool 😎
For me, Albert Kijg is the real King of the Blues.
For me I put a C D of Albert king in and play along with him I find that listening to him helps me with the timing great video thank you

I love playing rhythm behind him.
@@Aakarsh1068 I’m not able to slow it down I have to play the C D at normal time so I can learn that way it helps me that way

Nope
Sounds like SRV
Cuz he was his main influence
He started as a drummer, so...
That makes a lot of things make sense now...
@@Texasbluesalley listen to the highhat...
