I really dig the Harmony Comet and the gold foil pickups. It’s become one of my main guitars.

So on the Albert King lick, what is the note you hit just before the G?

[billyclub]

Tell us about the Harmony. Reminds me of a Rickenbacker.
Clapton uses Freddie's lick a lot

[yoyoF]

Having a hard time doing the vibrato on the bend, any tips? Vibrato on single notes is no issue

I like em all, but I think the Freddie King lick has a bit more of that “human voice” characteristic to it
Just my opinion, though
