Albert King “Melody Bends”
Lesson Contents
Very few blues guitarists have ever mastered the art of bending the way Albert King has. It’s no reason Stevie Ray Vaughan always listed Albert King as his main influence. In this lesson Steve breaks down a killer Albert King lick in the way only Steve can.

The Blues-Rock style backing track used in this video.This is the backing track with no solo on it so you can try the lick for yourself. It starts “from the V” to give you 4 bars before you start to play.

February 27, 2016Very good lesson. I love two and three finger pull offs and hammer ons and I practice them a lot..I like the movement up and down the fret board and I doubt seriously if there is a bend I don’t like…..Paul

February 29, 2016Steve, I really like your instruction. I bought your Voodoo Blues course and one of your Quick Licks courses. I’ll pick this one up sometime in the future but currently I’m a little “course heavy”! Good stuff though.

November 1, 2016Love the lessons Griff, Steve is very cool, but the way he holds the guitar in the videos you can’t see his fingers and so it’s not very helpful. Love the free lessons but for instructional vids, pretty poor. Just my opinion….. Which we all know……;-)

November 3, 2016like many others comments I have seen, I don’t like the angle steve holds his guitar. he also does too much with now grab the d minor and then b flat or whatever. I want to be able to see his fingers so maybe I can figure it out. I have seen him on other sites and have the same complaints. not a good teacher
