What? All this flying V talk and nobody mentions the guy who was the very first Flying V master?
Bow to the King!
Albert King could smoke all of those guys with his amp on stand by.
And to show you guys that he could back up that thing I just said...
Nice brittle tone with a bit of a Tele twang to it. I've read from V players again and again that they prefer it over a Les Paul because an LP sounds just too phat and clutters everything, especially rhythm work and where there are two guitars playing constantly.
Why did no one ever teach Gary Moore that he could use his pinky too? He does fret a note with it once in a while, but more as an afterthought. Speaking of guitar heroes, I think the all fingers fret technique of, say, Messrs Blackmore and Schenker looks so much more elegant.
