For tab and jam track visit www.activemelody.com – In this lesson we continue to explore the minor pentatonic scale (in the key of E), however we had a new pattern (some new notes) to the scale and learn how to play an Albert King style guitar solo. This lesson isnt recommended for the absolute beginner, but if youre fairly comfortable with playing lead, then you should be able to play the licks in this lesson

  5. "I love Eric Clapton’s vibrator the best…" Freudian slip?

  6. This is not the most difficult thing to learn, but you make it really understandable for annyone so great!

  7. how do you EQ your amp/guitar to get humbuckers to sound like that?!?

  8. I don’t understand? What issue are you having with registration? 

  9. problem is i cant even regester on your site.

  10. "Eric Clapton’s vibrator…"! Priceless!

  11. I don’t think that one is more correct than another – i’ve seen it done many different ways. I love Eric Clapton’s vibrator the best so I spent a lot of time studying what his hand does and tried to emulate his vibrato style. It’s really more of a free floating left hand that isn’t anchored. I think the best advice is to pick the one that sounds the best to your ear and then watch videos of that artist to see how their hand moves to get that sound. 🙂

  12. i do notice concerning vibrato that a lot of guitarists use the left palm as sort of a fulcrum… yours moves more freely and i wonder is one more correct than the other?

  13. Thanks man you are probably the best tutor I have come across

  14. you have the gift of teaching..thanks so much..you make it make sense

  15. This is as close as any player can hope to get to Alberts style on an orthodox guitar in standard tuning. Albert played a right handed guitar, left handed i.e. with the strings upside down. He also tuned below concert pitch, these factors made his tone and technique very idiosyncratic. Studying other players can help you discover your own voice, which should be your ultimate goal.

  16. @CollinsDenzel: You’re a boob. I hear Albert King’s sound in this guy’s licks. Are you telling me that I don’t? Very few can sound as great as Albert, but you are absolutely wrong to say "very few can play in his style". In fact, very many blues player’s can play Albert’s style. In fact, I’ll venture to say most blues players are familiar with and can play Albert’s "style".

  17. very clear teaching. i’m diggin it

  18. No offense but you are not playing Albert King licks. There may be repetition in his notes but very few can play in his style.
    Listen to the recordings!

  19. Goddammit. I know you wanted to laugh when you said "G string"…

  20. great job! i’m a beginner and i’m having trouble getting my tone right. i have an epiphone dot and a fender mustang 1 amp that emulates just about any fender amp. can u help me with my guitar and amp settings?
