The Best Albert King Guitar Solos

Albert King turned string bending into a language of its own, playing a right-handed Flying V upside-down and left-handed so his huge, multi-step bends came from pulling strings downward. His economical, vocal phrasing on Stax in the late 1960s shaped Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix and generations of blues-rock players.
