i just have one noobish question, well i've watch most of your lesson. But when you post out the scales i get confused. Because there can be so many notes, like the A dorian mode for instance. In what order do you pick them?
Even those scales you put here, f# minor blues scale and f# pentatonic blues scale makes me go nuts... Appreciate some help here please

Well it's not the order, you just have to know the scales in order to play it, that's all. And by knowing I mean to know the correct note pitch that corresponds to a place on the fretboard. For simple licks from albert you can choose only F# minor pentatonic lesson, and if you look more closely, minor blues is with just ONE note added, so it's the basically very similar. It all revolves around pentatonic scale.

Great lesson and there are mistakes written into the tabs. -not a huge problem.
Also would be helpful if the tabs showed which chord the riff was being played over.

Hi guys, welcome to another blues lesson! :) In this lesson we will cover some of the most famous licks of the great blues legend Mr.Albert King. Albert was by his Gibson Flying V Guitar, left hand playing and upside down string layout. He played with his fingers too, but in this lesson we will do his licks using a pick. You can use fingers if you like to get that rich fat tone.
Now, I've noticed that some people have problems when going back to the root in a solo. This "skill" so to speak can be learned by doing some nice licks when going back to the root, and Albert does this all the time, so I purposely put many variations of these in here too. You will find them quite useful when playing your own progressions I'm sure.
It is a simple lesson using mostly minor pentatonic scale - major position. In this position we will be doing some nice slides and bends using our index finger - just like Mr.Albert King. The tone we are trying to have is rich, warm, overdriven and fat humbucker tone.
This lessons contains:
- Blues style of Albert King
- Lots of great blues licks
- Index Finger Bending
- Slides
- Syncopation
Settings used:
Humbucker (better is neck but i used bridge with tone rolled off), pro co rat drive pedal emulation, fender blackface amulation, slightly overdriven, a touch of reverb.
