The opening notes of all three songs are a construct of the Pentatonic Scale.
Check out Bobby McFerrin having fun using it with a live audience.(2009)
What a teacher!
This will take about three minutes out of your life but IMHO well worth the time.
Pass it on to any students you might have.
A bit like Albert King asking Gary Moore, “why do you play so many notes”, pretty cool I thought at the time.
Ol’ Albert did’nt play many notes but what he did play certainly was’nt “easier”, unbelievable microtonic bending.
Sometimes I do wonder why guitarists here never mention people like Albert King, Ry Cooder, David Lindley(sp), Robbie Robertson e.t.c., one should give credit where it’s due.
I think the pic is of a lookalike because ;
a) Albert would have had penpusher’s hands whereas those in the pic are more like labourer’s hands.
b ) He died in 1955 . The Peavey Razer was not made until 1983.
He did however play violin and piano . ( Pics available via web search )
( Steering slightly back towards topic : )
Legend has it that Pythagoras was passing a blacksmiths when he became curious about the relative consonance and dissonance of combinations of hammer blows with different weights of hammers . Pythagorean hammers - Wikipedia
He is featured in the wonderful 1959 Disney film " Donald In Mathmagic Land " .
Donald Duck is transported back to Ancient Greece and has a jam with Pythagoras and his band . Donald in Mathmagic Land - Wikipedia - YouTube
Given that the clothes kind of look a bit more “recent” and casual than what I think Albert would wear, it’s probably just his head pasted onto someone else’s body
