SMASH that like button if you want more FREDDIE KING on the channel!! HUGE THANKS as always to all patrons, your TABS for this video are available here: bit.ly/3Euegsr

I'm a simple man. I see Freddie King and I click like

One of the backing guitarists in the dark red jacket (and who looks to be the band leader) is the great Clarence Gatemouth Brown.

Red guitar is an ES 345, not a 355. I can verify because I had one. And it looks to be mid ‘60s vintage. Freddie also played the ES 355 but not here.Freddie King really made his bones on that Gold Top Les Paul, though.

Freddie King was a monster on guitar! That almost has some Mary Had a Little Lamb vibes! Great video again Pilgrim!

I saw Freddie King live when he was living. One of my favorite blues players. Love" Rather be blind" written by Leon Russell. Freddie does a version with Leon on his " Texas Cannonball" album. Guitar Pilgrim , you nailed it!

Love how you go back to the origins of these licks and break them down oh so well.

Your bad ass dude!! I love your teaching skills, selections of different varieties of music. But the best thing is you're enthusiasm keep on rocking man!!⚡

Another great video. You really do blues with a feeling. But you need a background dancer like Freddie.

Freddie King has such a present, in-your-face-but-still-groovin' style. He grabs your ear but doesn't let it go like some guitarists do.

Great lesson !! and great point regarding the joy in his playing ! You do an amazing job of getting the essence of the musicians music you teach !! Love the channel Thank You

Looks like your enjoying that new guitar. It's a beauty.

I love your interpretation and feeling that you show.... Great job!

Fantastic breakdown! Always a pleasure to watch!

Someone is enjoying their recent Gibson acquisition!!! Go hard! Love your work!

Lots of the great players of the 60's and 70's including The Beatles freely admit stealing from or being influenced by these great pioneers of Blues/Rock n'roll. Please do more of these, a great way to increase my guitar vocabulary.

Yes, I can, and did on my yellow Les Paul DC after watching this a couple of times. Quite a lot of fun! Cheers.

Very similar to buddy guy and later srv copy of mary had a little lamb. This one slipped by me...i assumed we were going to learn hideawy when i came here. Never heard this. Very cool

This is one of your Best! really Great

Terrific video Thom! There were many great Blues men but FK was definitely at the top of the list! He was not only an amazing guitar player but also an incredible singer as well. Take a listen to "Someday After Awhile" & "Have You Ever Loved A Woman"! He was great. Thanks for this video.... 👍😉

He's playing a Gibson Es345 in the video you showed...... Albert Collins played with his guitar slung over his shoulder also..

Awesome licks! Love it!

Again a very cool tutorial... Thanks Sir!

Awesome history, lesson, and more.

this is great! more of this kind of stuff please

Gran trabajo. Gracias

Simple blues but great power 🎸😊💪

Just great Thom, definately more Freddie!!

Amazing lesson. Thanks.

Best guitar I seen you play. I like that sound.

Also similar to 'Come On (Let the Good Times Roll)' Earl King covered by Hendrix. Check out Billy Cox over Freddy's shoulder on bass.

Awesome! Thanks for this!👌

J'aime vraiment beaucoup cette chaine,ce mec,super musicien ecoute et propose toujours de la bonne musique

The only thing missing from this video is the profuse amount of Freddie King sweat.

You can't be a bluesman without worshiping the Three Kings: Albert, B.B., and Freddy.

thank you mate, special, we need to learn it step by step

So cool!!!

I have just notice your new guitar , nice ! Freddy king is so good , really like this instrumental album with that gold top p90, and the other Freddy king sings

Fabuloso

Gold.......!

Freddie King is the best of the Blues "Kings", in my opinion.

The Three Kings in order Albert, Freddie and BB in my opinion...

You really are the dude brov, should have a million subscribers, keep em coming

Great video again GP - thanks. Albert Collins also used the guitar strap like that!

i am from Brazil love all your videos

Good lesson

Albert Collins wears the strap on the right shoulder too. I would like your opinion about him. Or a video of the master of telecaster!

I didn't know that riff... sounds great!

damn i'm so excited when i saw "freddie king" , my favorite king of all!

Albert Collins always had guitar strap over right shoulder too.

Albert Collins held the guitar on his right shoulder too

You could dedicate the next year to amazing Freddie King licks

You know how to pick them Pilgrim,,, No pun intended,,,, TY Bro. !!!! 😎✌✝💕

The Master Mr. King.

wow that's great

Just woke The Day of the Dead down here in Mexico. Respect.

Cool 👍👍

Sweet

Thanks a million!! This is so educational!! I just love Freddie King instrumentals... Only one minor unrelated thing if I may add (please take no offence)... when you say "lamb" or "thumb", remember that the final "b" should be silent, it sounds as if you're pronouncing it a bit or maybe it's a Dutch thing (and I apologize if I'm being pedantic, which I probably am). P.S.= For the record, otherwise your English is excellent

Never been a Les Paul fan but that one is sharp!

Chris Simmons owns Mr. Kings guitar now.

Great job as usual Thom, I still have my Freddy King instrumentals album, we used to do my version of the soul number years ago, you have great energy and I love your piano playing. Do you like Monk? A great piano number is "Ashokan Farewell" which was on the soundtrack for Ken Burns' Civil War series. Greetings from Port Orchard. WA.

Freddie King, Albert King, Marcus King, BB King, all the KIngs are very wellcome, Thanks!

A little beat sound of “Merry have little lamb” by SRV

Carrying the guitar "gunslinger" way helps for not unbalancing those big guitars with one button on the back instead of on the side.

How about the fact that he has the great Clarence 'Gatemouth' Brown playing rhythm guitar behind him!

Thank again! Enough to try in this video. Btw: like your shirt! Wij houden van oranje!😀

Got the same guitar 2013 model with the coil taps. Does yours have them? Also the 2013 model used Granadillo wood for its fretboad.The 409R and 498T pickups are great. Sadly, I feel the Chinese have now copied them in 400 Dollar and up price range guitars. Oh, and by the way, in 2013 the hard shell case ( made in Canada ) with the white fluff cushion came with the guitar. These day, hmm gig bag ?

actually the guitar he was playing was actually an es-345 but good guess it is a bit hard to know which one because this particular guitar that Freddie was playing had gold hardware which is what es-355s have. but you can tell a 345 from a 355 because the 355 has a bound headstock and 345s have split parallelogram inlays

Any chance you could post a second video of you doing the whole song (Funny Bone) and not just a "small part"? You were really smoking on that song!

Thanks god now I can play some of his stuff… sorry more please this I can learn 😁

Thanks GP, I do believe I'll queue up some Freddie today.

Can you do one on Freddie king going down

It's a 1960 ES345, you can tell by the split parallelogram inlays and long pickguard, unbound headstock. Gibson reissued the guitar in 2016.

I want that there geeetaaar....😁👏🏻👏🏻

Hey! What do you think about doing your next "can you play this riff" vid on the great white buffalo riff from ted nugents/the amboy dukes ? Great riff, not too hard, but still... needs à bit of technique and i dont think many youtubers did à vidéo on it !

That guitar is awesome you said it was light too that les paul did you get it online.?

Albert Collins used to wear his guitar strap that way too

Would love to some a lonnie mack very similar style

Gosh, so many people beg, borrowed, and stole from Freddie King. I'm hearing not only SRV and Clapton, but Jimmy Page too. So much of the Moby Dick riff is here as well as The Ocean. Not just in the blues context but in the simplicity and phrasing.

Plz make a video of "Southbound Again" from Dire Straits. Such an underrated song of them

I saw a video on here, where a young Lady (am I allowed to call her that?) Played a crisp, super clean 'San Ho Zay!'

If you really want to play Freddie King, use your ears and transcribe yourself 😇. This is how you know you are on the right journey to become an accomplished guitarist.

Got it funny bone 👍

I hear that Mary had a little lamb in there

Genio genio, no entiendo inglés pero pude sacar el tema 🥂🥂🥂🥂🍾🍾🍾🍾

Yes you can sound like Freddie King, but it's even better if you're playing it on a early 1950s Les Paul gold top with those sweet P90 pickups. Freddie was a tone monster!

I think Alvin Lee of Ten years After was a Freddie fan too.

Listen to Peter Green playing 'Uranus' with Brunning Sunflower Blues Band from late '60s. album. Peter obviously borrowed the melody. 🎸😎

I love this and have admired that "Beat!!!!!" videos for decades. Can't listen to your buzzy rock sound though.

👍🏻👍🏻

Please can you make a video too on John Scofield ?!!

Do some Freddy hideaway!

BB King also played with the strap over his right shoulder. I think he and Freddie did that so it was not resting on their big bellies. Also, you get a great sound out of that Les Paul. What amp were you using?

great video....Freddie certainly was the "King" on stage there.....or should i say "Boss"......:-) do you knowthe year of the recording....??...would be interesting....i love it..... and of course im getting that song "under my belt"....:-)

Another good video there, Guitar Pilgrim. A question for you. Are you still using Native Instruments Guitar Rig for your amp sim? Thx

It looks like Freddie actually slaps the guitar, not just gives a swing by it!

3:35 I was about to say that

Je préfère la reprise de SRV mais evidement le jeu du monstre de la guitare qu'est Freddie King est super bon

T-Bone Walker, John Lee Hooker and Albert Collins also weared guitar strapped on right shoulder.
