Albert King Electric Blues Guitar - Andy Aledort Page Three

Now how do you like this? Albert built his first guitar out of a cigar box. It must have been 1934. He didn't get his first guitar until he was 18 years old and paid $1.25 for it. A Guild Hollow body acoustic.

Think about that the next time you wish you had dough for new toys. There is no inflation - the government say so!

But do you really want to wait that long.

Grab your current electric guitar now and prepare to see how its done. The good thing about Albert Kings style is that its not all really fast but slower and more soulful so if you attempt to copy your instructor as you are supposed to do you will actually make some headway and learn a lot about phrasing and playing melody.

Its quality of notes not quantity! You bend/snap the strings too with your bare fingers if you want to do it like Albert. Andy explains all this and a lot more.  If I had to rank the Kings if would be Albert tied with Freddie and BB close behind. See another Albert King focused lesson.
