Even Hendrix pretty much mainlined Albert / B.B. / Freddie when he stretched out on a slow blues. Though to be sure he was somewhat more Kosmic about it.<br /><br />Looks like Albert's using his thumb, mostly. Wonder if he grew his thumbnail out long to use as a natural pick.<br /><br />I think Freddie used finger picks, don't know how many.T.K.

I had no idea that Albert King was that large, nor that he played left handed, nor that he used a Flying V to produce that great music, and he was playing it upside down! <br /><br />Dang, if you keep this up I will be completely up to speed on music by the time I die. Thank you again.<br /><br />When I was young I used to travel through Indianola, Itta Bena, Clarksdale and other places in the cradle of the blues. My family's roots go deep in that Delta soil.
