Feb 5, 2012 - No matter how many times I watch an Albert King video, it still amazes me that he got such a quiet, delicate and pingy tone out of a Gibson Flying V.

Feb 28, 2012 - Song started off and I was cringing at some bad notes Al was hittin' on the guitar. Then I realized, holy sh*t, he's playing with a busted ring finger on his frettin' hand! Essence of the blues. Don't let shit get you down. Just keep on truckin'. :)

Mar 7, 2012 - The first time I heard " BORN UNDER A BAD SIGN" was in 1967 at a good friend of mines home. It stuck with me ever since. Albert Kings Blues is like no other. I really do enjoy listening to his music.Roger Sampson of San Ramon, California

Mar 14, 2012 - That actually is not a Gibson Flying V. But yeah he does have a light sound.

uofm97 Says:

Mar 14, 2012 - It's not? He's known for using them, isn't he? I can't see the headstock too well to see what it is.

Mar 17, 2012 - Albert's got an MXR phase 90 going on that V. At least that's the way it sounds. Sounds like a script 90. Amazing the gig went on with that broken finger. A real show man!

Jeetkunow Says:

Mar 18, 2012 - He did play gibson but this guitar was built by Dan Erlwine. Steven Segal owns it and some other of his guitars. Dan Erlwine was his Albert's guitar tech. You can find the article on Vintage Guitar. I am not able to repost it for some reason.But yeah Steven Segal owns a lot of high dollar guitars. Weird I know.

Jeetkunow Says:

Mar 18, 2012 - Dude he has a broken finger here and still playing really good!!!

Mar 18, 2012 - Albert King had a fantastic voice as well as golden hands. And that guy playing the ES330 is a demon!

uofm97 Says:

Mar 18, 2012 - I see. I wouldn't have guessed that Steven Segal was a guitar collector. It's actually an interesting fact.

Mar 26, 2012 - One of the most important blues man of all time! If it wasn't for Albert King, there will be no Stevie Ray Vaughan at all!!!@brunobluesman on Twitter.

Apr 9, 2012 - at 2:43 the guy on the ES clearly plays the main lick for Layla

Apr 12, 2012 - you know nothing. Clapton is copping Albert King, not the other way 'round.

Apr 13, 2012 - 1:07 is when he goes to the bathroom. you can see him leaving:-)

seaside882000 Says:

Apr 20, 2012 - that is exactly right. rumor has it albert's estate sold it to him for 1 million. I was lucky enough to get to hold and fool around on that exact guitar while mr. erlewine was preparing it for pickup by two segal "associates." good guitar but albert could make a shoe box with strings sound cool. :)

May 26, 2012 - imagine the feeling showing up to the show and seeing that critical ring finger splinted like that.
