Albert’s Influence

Related Collections

This course will teach you how to solo like Albert King in three different song styles.

Overview

You can fool around for the next few months (or years) on your own, half-heartedly trying to learn Albert King’s style and getting half-hearted results.

Or, with this lesson series, you can learn his signature licks, note-for-note, accurate to a fraction of a bend. There are enough “kind-of-sounds-like-Albert” players in this world. My goal with this series is to teach you to play it right.

Course Features

We put a lot of work into making these courses easy to follow, but most importantly effective. Here's a list of features this course offers.

Lick-By-Lick Organization

Learning a long solo is hard, so I break long solos into individual licks. Each lick is taught individually, and you'll always know where you're at.

The tabs clearly mark where each lick starts, so you can easily find the right spot.
Note-For-Note Teaching

When I teach a solo, I don't simply play the lick and expect you to figure it out - I call out each note by string and fret number.

This method takes longer, but I want to make sure you know exactly what to play.
Organized Lesson Format
Each solo in this course is taught in a similar format. The solo is broken into individual licks and each lick is taught the same way.
- First, you see a demonstration of the lick.
- Then, you see that same demo at 50% speed.
- Then I teach you the lick note-for-note
Chapter Markers

Long videos are hard to navigate, so we put chapter markers throughout, making it easier for you to skip to the section of the video you were last watching.

Our DVDs also have these chapter markers, you can skip around a lesson video using the Next and Previous controls.
Player's Perspective

The videos in this course are shot from the over-the-shoulder perspective that you'd use if you were trying to watch what someone was playing. This view allows you to take what you see and more easily translate it to your own guitar neck.
Progression Counter

Our Progression Counter shows you exactly where you are in the chord progression during each lick of the solo. It also shows you which beat the licks start and end on. This incredibly useful tool is shown in each solo demonstration of this course.
Instant Downloads
As soon as you buy this course, you'll be able to download a zip file containing the entire course. The files are not encrypted, locked, or protected in any way. You own them forever.
- If this course includes tablature, it will be provided in GuitarPro and PDF Format.
- If this course includes a backing track, it will be provided in MP3 format.
iPads / Tablets

Because we use standard video and audio formats, you can download our courses onto iPads, or other tablets. You just need an app (like Goodreader) that can download and unzip files.
