How To Play Like Albert King - Power Breakdown 1a - Andy Aledort

[dennisdullea]

Tuning down a step and a ½ will put you in C Albert is said to have tuned to C minor.

That is of course how he was able to play all of his solos on Two strings mostly...He actually played much of his stuff on just the High E string just moving up and down the neck and bending the piss out of the high E string! He could and DID actually bend up to 3 full steps out of his E string...

I run a Blues Guitar School in Texas and Have been Teaching, selling, and making Blues Guitar instructional DVD's for years, and I have never seen anyone get as close as this cat to nailing Albert's stuff. This Cat "Andy Aledort" is REALLY good at this! Texas Blues Guitar dot net Dennis Dullea put in: dennisdullea

A half step is the distance of one fret. Tuning down a whole step would have your low E in D and so on with each string. SRV tuned down a half step - Eb. If he tuned up a half step it would be F

[DeathWishskates4life]

A half step is the distance of one fret. So if you tune down a whole step your low E will be D. SRV tunes down a half step so he is in Eb.

I've learned alot from watching Andy Aledort, he's an incredible guitarist and an amazing teacher, Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, whatever, he explains things to where everyone can understand it.
