Freddie’s Influence - In The Style of Freddie King

Learn to solo like Freddie King in three different song styles.

Overview

Freddie King played as hard as Albert, as soft as B.B., and at times faster than either. His speed and complex bending made his style easy to recognize but difficult to learn.

I’ve collected licks from many of Freddie’s performances. Licks that capture the intensity, feeling, power, and flat-out speed of his playing.
