Albert King Style (breaking in my new Epiphone Lucille)

Excellent playing.

VERY NICE, How you reglagle your ampli ?? And it's FENDER ampli ???

[leozingy]

@dark9660 It's a Mesa Boogie Studio .22+, set on clean with a pedal. Read the video description.

What a pure beauty of an guitar. Man that 1 is very nice.

[Mycroftsbrother]

Sounds good! If I may ask, where do you get your blues backing tracks? I'm trying to find some good ones.

Thanks.

[leozingy]

@Mycroftsbrother Google it, you'll be surprised how many good free blues backing tracks you'll find! (I got mine on the Lick Library DVD, I can't rip it nor can I send it to you, sorry)

great palying.Would you recommend this guitar?I love the blues..danrockss..ny

[leozingy]

Yes, it's a very versatile guitar and comfortable too. Just be sure to try it out first.

[diminishedlogic]

great playing man. how do you like the red fang speaker?

[leozingy]

Eminence Red Fang speaker really made my amp come alive. In my opinion, it's the best speaker for overdrive sounds. With this speaker, my Mesa Boogie really nails the Dumble like smooth overdrive and has a really warm and jazzy clean. For blues and rock, Mesa + Red Fang is what sounds best to my ears!

Wow! Love the tone and the licks, I've been thinking about picking one up and now I'm sold, thanks for sharing.

[baseboi]

wow funny you should say that. im right handed but i play exactly like albert king. lefthand upside down...lol...talk about opposites....thanks for the reply

[baseboi]

hey great playing and yeah your sound does have a albert king sound to it. but to play it real albert king style is to flip it round and play it lefthanded upside down..lol. nice playing tho

[leozingy]

Yeah, might try that one time, I'm left handed actually (but I play guitar right handed).

[AlexTMuzick]

likin' the 3 king trilogy :)

[omoyne]

I've thought of buying this guitar. What do u think about the pickups and the varitone switch? Are the pickups as hot as real Gibson 57s?? thanx

[leozingy]

The Varitone is really amazing - it really "calms down" the otherwise hot Epiphone pickups (they are somewhere between blues-rock in the output levels, leaning towards rock); it cuts frequencies more and more as you move the switch from 1 to 6 (the bridge pickup on 4 or 5 makes it sound even nice for country style picking!). The pickups have a nice midhump sound, similar to 57s, but with a bit less clarity. Might swap them out for a pair of Classics, but the Epis are very sweet as well.

Nice playing, great sound, excelent guitar . . . thanks for sharing
