So what did Albert King do that other guitarists didn’t?

Being a left handed guitarist he actually plays a right handed guitar flipped upside down, which means unlike conventional left handed guitarist who need to re-string the strings on a right-handed guitar, or play a left-handed guitar, Albert’s guitar actually has the thinnest “E” on top and the heaviest bass “E” string at the bottom. A style called “upside-down/backwards”. One of blues greatest guitarists he is known for his hits “Crosscut Saw” and “Born under a bad sign” playing in the video below.
