Albert King was also SRV's mentor. There is a great Canadian Television documentary of him and SRV talking about how they met and all the history they have together. Most of all they took turns playing each other tunes. SRV had total respect, called him sir, and treated him like the Blues Master he was. You two are always awesome!

Interesting side note is that BB's (for Baby Blues) father's name was Albert.

They talked during the performance, and at the end, it was like Alberta was passing the torch on to Stevie. Everyone was expecting Stevie to go there and out play Albert with his guitar playing, but it was the complete opposite, Stevie stayed in the background showing the respect Albert deserved.

One of the Three Kings of Blues - Albert, BB, and Freddie - Albert was a very big man. It is rumored he used banjo strings in the middle two strings of his guitar so he could bemd them easier. He was known for the way he would bend the strongs, but he certainly didn't need banjo strings to bend them more easily since he had huge hands! He was left handed and played a Gibson Flying V so he could go all the way to the base of the neck to utilize all of the neck more easily. He's one of my favorite blues artists. You should check out John Lee Hooker and the song "Boom Boom".

There is a specific Albert King string bending and partial releasing technique that became a big part of Stevie Ray Vaughan's style - so much so, that when I first heard SRV soloing on a David Bowie song on the radio, I thought it was Albert. His big hit was "Born Under A Bad Sign". He was left handed, so he played a right handed guitar upside down, using a custom tuning, so he would use a lot of extreme bends.

I've heard interviews where Jimmie and Stevie Ray Vaughan cite "the three kings" (Albert King, Freddie King and B.B. King) as among their major influences. I think the way SRV bent the strings sure sounds like he absorbed some of Albert's style. On Cream's first or second album, they covered Albert King's classic "Born Under a Bad Sign". Never did see any of the three kings, but did see other favorite blues guitarists like Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughan, Albert Collins, Johnny Copeland and Billy Gibbons in the late 70s and early 80s. So cool that even young folks can still appreciate the old masters :)

Interesting to note that Albert was a lefty who played his guitar strung right-handed, with the treble strings at the top and bass strings on the bottom. Only a handful of players I can think of who did that - Doyle Bramhall II and Eric Gales. They all had to learn that way because right-handed guitars that belonged to others were all they had access to. It's easy to get a lefty guitar now, but that wasn't always the case.
