In this part 2 of our Joe Bonamassa tone masterclass, Dinesh sat down with Joe to talk about his new Joe Bonamassa “Amos” 1958 Flying V Collector’s Edition guitar as well as how to get Albert King’s tone and the connection between Albert King, Eddie Van Halen and Stevie Ray Vaughan.

In this Albert King guitar lesson video, Joe shares the Albert King guitar technique that most people miss and Joe and Dinesh go into specific tips on how to get that Albert King sound.

From high gain settings, field hum, using the guitar’s natural midrange to balancing treble and presence they show you how to get Albert’s “upside down and backward” sound on a Flying V.

Joe also explains Albert’s thumb technique and phrasing which gives his bends and fills that haunting, soulful quality. They also talk about how to deal with high gain guitar amps and still get clarity! Whether you’re a blues player or rock player or just want to dial in an Albert King tone or see how one of the greatest blues legends of all time got his signature playing style and tone, this is the Albert King guitar tutorial for you!
