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

@robertdavis4408 21 күн бұрын

I've seen King Charles refuse to shake the hand of a black man maybe these KINGS just have problems every now and then shaking people hands🤔

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Albert King tuned down to C# or sometimes C. So he was able to bend the high E string up several intervals

@@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.

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.

@chi4611 4 ай бұрын

Hendrix absolutely did, listen to machine gun. Man played in the Chitlin circuit.
