04 ALBERT KING

-

Using a right-handed guitar flipped over to play left handed meant King was basically playing upside down. Right away in our tab example, you can hear most of the notes are pushed (or pulled, in Albert’s case!) slightly sharp – not an unusual occurrence in blues, but Albert did it more than most. Note the sliding double stop at the end of the tab, which was one of Albert’s favourite ways to finish a lick.
