George Harrison
As you might have picked up from the previous slide, George Harrison was born in Liverpool, England. He was introduced to this world on February 25, 1943. If you do not know who he is, let us remind you that he was one of the members of The Beatles. Although some might think he is not as valuable as John Lennon and Paul McCartney, we will have you know that he once reached greater heights when he went solo. He penned The Beatles hits “Here Comes the Sun” and “Taxman”. After 1965, all of their albums came with at least two songs that he wrote. Tom Petty once talked about his guitar playing this way: “He was very in tune when he played, the slide was very precise, and just had a beautiful vibrato on it.”

Albert King
Albert Nelson has made a name for himself under the name of Albert King. He was born on April 25, 1923 in Indianola, Mississippi. He once said that he did not have any influences when it comes to playing since “Everything I do is wrong.” Called “The Velvet Bulldozer” for his size and singing skills, he was left-handed yet used a right-handed guitar. It still worked out but only because he played it upside down! He has been praised by Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton. In fact, the former was starstruck when he got to open for King in 1967. Some of his works are “As the Years Go Passing By” and “Born Under a Bad Sign”.
