        Recorded this yesterday on my 1965 SG. Recorded on my iPhone, iRigMic, and Blackstar Fly mini amp with some delay and overdrive.

        Liam posted same lesson on May 26 using a much new newer SG (to my eye) and different amp, etc. Accounting for differences in recording, both SGs sound pretty much identical to me.
        Cool!

        Another nice Albert King lesson by Brian.
        Thanks,
        Larry

          Well done Larry. That amp does a really good job.

            Very nice! Loved the way you played this ❤️.

            I have heard a lot about the backstar fly amps and, if I had, my time over, looking for new gear, it is probably what I would pick. Really portable and it sounds great.

              Combo of guitar and amp sounded awesome Larry. Remember most of the time it’s not the gear it’s the fingers of the player! Great lesson choice and you played it in true blues style. ✅✅✅ All the best! 😎🎸😎

                  I just posted this track as well. But you have that great Gibson tone. Great job.

                    Great playing Larry! Love the tone you’ve dialled in.
                    This lesson is super popular, I’ll have to put it on the list.

                      Definitely want to give this lesson a try, Larry – loved your performance! 👏👏. Though I wanted your improv to continue a bit longer 😂 – Mark 👍🎶😎

                        Great playing Larry. That Titleist hat reminds me how difficult that golf is. If I would have spent the same amount of time learning guitar as I did on the quest for a perfect golf swing, I would be a pro by now. That game is just brutal and most humbling.

                        Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

                            correct! Many similarities to trying to play the guitar and can be equally addictive.
