This video tutorial will teach you to play blues on an electric guitar like Albert King. Blues master Albert King was a huge influence on Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eric Clapton to name just two legends. In this video lesson, we show you how to play in his style.

These Albert King examples are based around the C minor pentatonic and incorporate many of his trademarks such as syncopated sharp 'stabs' and quick-fire runs. Of course, no blues solo would be complete without quarter-tone bends and there are plenty here. The tone should be sharp with a minimum of overdrive. Think of a small valve amp turned up to the max with lots of treble.
