Albert King, nacido Albert Nelson (25 de abril de 1923-21 de diciembre de 1992) fue un influyente guitarrista y cantante estadounidense de Blues. Considerado uno de los Tres Reyes del Blues a la guitarra (junto a B.B.

I listen and the guitar licks make sense for right handed player. Except I know he’s left handed and a unique improvised technique totally counterintuitive to me. The music is strangely ambidextrous. Lol
his 1957-58 Gibson flying v is worth around a million dollars today! they only made one small batch of explorers a futuras and flying v made from white African limba rebranded as korina..it was alot less expensive than the mahogany they used at the time..the problem was that it was 1957 and these wer deemed to outrageous at the time and wer a huge flop! but the did manage to sell all the guitars they made some say as late as 1968..intact originals with no breaks cracks or repairs fetch top dollar..and so do the repaired ones! finding one in the wild is like spotting Bigfoot..a guy found a beat up 57 v at the local landfill..later he sold it and bought a big house!
It's good to see one of my very favorite musicians in an interview. 🙂
A blues legend and a nice man. Its awesome that he played his guitar with strings upside down.
The King of 'em all! 💖

Lame opinion. Albert ruled. “Less is more.”
