HIDEAWAY my 2nd version (Freddie King)

I performed for the second time this wonderful classic penned in 1961 by Freddie King.
All the british blues lovers, remember the "Hideaway"version on "Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton" (Decca Rec.-1966)

Freddie King also known as Freddy King and "The Texas Cannonball" (September 3, 1934 - December 28, 1976), was an influential Afro-American blues guitarist and singer. He perfected his own guitar style based on Texas and Chicago influences and was one of the first bluesmen to have a multi-racial backing band on stage with him at live performances.
Freddie King had a twenty year recording career and became established as an influential guitarist for the mid 1960s UK blues revivalists such as Eric Clapton, Chicken Shack and Peter Green and had an intuitive style, often creating guitar parts similar to a second vocal line, using the open-string sound of Texas blues guitar and the raw, screaming tones of West Side Chicago blues.
One aspect of Freddy's style that should be mentioned is his distinction from the two other "Kings", BB and Albert..Freddy's style was more aggressive and creative in improvisation,where Albert relied on a battery of licks, wound in different ways.. Freddy would "create" phrases on the spot, in the moment. This is an aspect of Freddy's playing that Eric Clapton mentions.
Freddie King died from heart failure on December 28, 1976, aged forty two.

I used my assembled Fender Stratocaster model, with a Fender Lace Sensor pick-up to the neck and the distortion channel of my Peavey Classic amp 50 (2x12).

Oh no! -- The guitarist at the jam last night said do "Hideaway", and I just realised I got mixed up and played "The Stumble"! He must have quickly seen my mistake and followed along.

I'd like to jam with you too -- great stuff!

Did you learn this by tab or ear?

@Carnivore898

Never learned by tab. I learned guitar by ear.

Thanks for watching.

did u wear out that guitar yourself or are you one of those people who likes to buy them beat up?.

@420OSteigman

It was an experiment on a Strato copy.

Now I sold this guitar. Believe me, there were so many guys that wanted this axe. Honestly, I prefer instruments in excellent conditions.
