  Fkn EXCELLENT! He could tune his strings, adjust the mic and change guitars knob settings all at the same time and never miss a note, lyric or a beat, and guitars had no locking tuners, coil splitting/coil tapping/push pull knobs and pups, and he played through a cheap amp and rig. He was a baaaaaaaad mfr.

  I am  six generation Mississippian, black cultural Anthropologist who grew up hearing and dancing to Mr. Albert, as we called him.  WE southern distinguish between the 2 KINGS.    I wanted to say when Mr. Albert and his guitar rocked, if you witness this particular style of blues ---you without any reseersvation you  experiences these two different and distinct musicians at the highest form of their craft.  MASTERS>  .  Now King B, announces he's in town, now the good times rollin with different styles/vibes, messages, story telling, kick ass musicians, the horns, brass, good lord.   As the Master Funk master, the classical musical style of Mr. George Clinton, these guys were tight on on the same page, every hair in its proper order.    .  Over the years as I have participation in blue culture, this video is my second time seeing Mr. Albert loose.  I In the 80s, I saw him one night in Holly Springs, Mississippi , home to the HBC Rust College, with the late great MS Denise LaSall,  a Slow gin small setting, Mr. Albert took out his TEETH , sho he did.  ha ha honey that night, the Fish cent hit eh air and snuff juice as every were"  Ms. KoKo Taylor and Willie Dixon, Chicago Blues.  in other words, it was on.

  THANKS! This is phenomenal. I&apos;m an upside-down lefty guitar player like Albert and had the privilege of meeting him when I was just a high school kid. I got to chat with him for a couple of minutes and shake his hand. He was gracious and very kind to this starstruck white boy.

  Being down and out and your loneliness is very sad, if you are unable to fill it with playing the Blues, Blues suthes everything away then filling you up with soul. I love 💖 the Blues

  B.B. King squeezed out each note, with a trill that was scintillating. Albert King on the other hand blistered out notes with the ferocity of a hand grenade burst! Very different guitar blues masters, each extraordinary and sublime.
