Celebrating Freddie King on a 1968 Gibson 335

Hi guys,

 

Today I'm celebrating blues guitarist Freddie King with this specially made King-style uptempo Blues backing track in E!

 

The intro at the start was played on my Gibson 335 (sunburst) from 1968, which I picked up in New York a handful of years ago.

 

For those who like to play along to jam tracks themselves..... happy jamming!! [thumbup]

 

 

Born on this day in 1934, King blended Texas and Chicago Blues into a fiery and creative style of his own...he's just a super-inspiring player!!

Good stuff, man. [thumbup]

 

It's great to see younger people getting into Freddie. I was just getting into him when I was young too, but that was about 40 years ago. [crying] In fact, he died right around the time I got hip to him. If I had discovered him just a few years sooner, I might have had a chance to see him in person, because he used to stop in and play at the local blues club back in the 70's (where I saw Albert for the only time I caught him live).

 

Anyway, keep doin' what you're doin'!
