The Very Best of Albert King

Great!!! Use it all of the time

Great book for advanced playeer for classic blues licks and tunes. Good song selection with leads . This would not be a beginner book.

The key signatures for the songs are off for standard guitar.

Great!

i now im going to love this because i have a guitar to his tuning, unlike the other book that does it in standard where you break high e strings, looks real good

Finally! Albert's secret tuning revealed! But you'll have to buy this to find out!This folio contains many of Albert's greatest, including 'Born Under A Bad Sign', 'Laundromat Blues', and 'Blues Power'. The folio is expertly engraved and edited. Get it if you want to learn tunes that were a major inspiration to Stevie Ray Vaughn.

Albert King, one of the true giants of the blues! Listen to Eric Clapton's solo on Strange Brew - pure Albert King style. In fact it's a rip off from Albert King's Personal Manager. He was an inspiration to a whole generation of guitar players. Mike Bloomfield was quoted saying; "Albert can take four notes and write a whole album".So what's the catch with this excellent(!) book?Well, you need to retune your guitar to Albert's tuning (from looking at DVD's I'm not sure they got the low-E string correct...). That means tuning the guitar down 1 ½ steps (!), something which may cause your guitar neck to back-bow. I'm an Albert King fan so I just went out, bought a brand new guitar and had it set up for this tuning - not everybody are willing to, or can afford to, do that. You should really be aware of this low-tuning before you buy this book (I didn't!)!If you however decide to go ahead and buy this book you will be in for a major joyride! Nothing's quite like stepping into the shoes of this blues giant and let those crying 2 step bends fill the air with the real blues!

At the top of each song page it mentions Drop D Tuning, but as far as I can tell they in a lowered version of Standard Tuning.

Excellent pour les amateurs de vrai electric-blues. Très bonne qualité, très lisible, très précis, comme souvent avec les tablatures de chez Hal Léonard. Même si Albert King avait un accordage très singulier, pas besoin de se compliquer la vie, on peut tout jouer facilement en EADGBE classique. Attention, ce n'est pas un livre destiné aux débutants, il y a beaucoup de bends assez difficile.

Good book featuring the work of a great artist, but I forgot that Albert King used some weird tunings on his guitar which makes the tabs hard to follow at times.
