Mr King played that thing lefty, but strung as a righty guitar, in other words, high string on the top! You know he didn't play chords, he once said something to the effect of that he payed other people to do that! If you can't play Albert and hear a strong Dickey Betts sound there, you are missing something, it's the other way around, of course, Mr King was first. And Dickey took that style, added to it and made his own, but that "Play Like A 300 Pound Man" is the thing...... POWER in them notes, he is my guitar idol to emulate...... power baby..... as someone on the LP site has as their logo: Fast is great, but accuracy is everything (Wyatt Earp)..... That's Albert...... the spaces say as much as the notes...... and when the riff comes, it is sledgehammer time....
