B.B. King Guitar Lesson

[zedonutube]

Genuine and humble person!

[Johnfeehan]

what great advice

[kingofcobwebs]

I love listening to him talk, almost as much as hearing him play. That man is so humble . . . wow.

[Antiks72]

A class act and a gentleman.

[perfectbeat]

Wow. Very humble and honest. He's one of the most influential electric guitarists of all time. Many people copied his vibrato.

[Johnfeehan]

@perfectbeat my thought exactly so glad I found it 

[theshowmecanuck]

I love this stuff. Anyone check out BB King playing Pauly's Birthday Boogie with Jooles Holland. Holy crap is that ever good. BB is practically bouncing off his chair he's so into it. :)

[PF1964]

What he is trying to say is that you got to feel it instead of playing it.

[DTM1864]

What a humble king. Yet don't forget he is the king.

[DTM1864]

2:39 send a chill up my spine. Incredible!!

[JohnnyCash1Fan1]

Whats the song at the beginning????

[RickInRock84]

@JohnnyCash1Fan1 Days Of Old, from "Riding With The King" with Slowhand ;-)

[slowmonkey156]

3:15 "I like the guitar to sound like it's singin'"...amen, bro.

[doncarvill1963]

I met my wife, the love of my life, at a BB King show in 1991! Thanks Mr. King!

[deltabluesmanful]

What a great video, love BB his sound is instantly recognisable. love the fact he says he can't do some stuff on the guitar then plays some amazing licks as if to say "can't do that, but can do this".

Brilliant.

[kenk714]

His humility, honesty, and peaceful disposition is not only inspirational, but taught me more about playing "music" than any instructional book.

[TheGrimDazzle704]

what chord progression is he playing for 8 bar blues? anybody?

[Maxeeboy]

@TheGrimDazzle704 It's called the I VI II V BB's doing it in G so it's G E7 A D7 The II is often a minor but you use the one that sounds right for the song. It's a groovy substitute for a turn-around or it can be a stand alone progression.

[TheGrimDazzle704]

@Maxeeboy thnx m8!

[Jplent1]

Great lesson!!

[tritone12]

you're an awesome guy BB.

thank you for the love that you spread in this world.

[daanborges]

he can tell us all of his secrets, there's now way we'll ever play like him... that's the sound of his heart man, and its only his, only his... I'm 18 and Brazilian (kinda hard for you to get into blues here) and I love him man, it's just so peaceful, so beautiful, pure...

[widepass]

Play what you hear and feel and not only what you know!

[ebbcourt]

A true gentlemen...........not many of them (the so called gods) share their secrets!

[letsif]

It's more than just technique. It's soul. BB's got it.

[motorhead1995able]

7:54 lol that's is why he is fat?

[gibsoneer321]

what a nice man, thanks BB

[mcewanschampion]

Humble, sincere and amazing! That's B.B King!!!

[AhYaOk]

respect

[SHAKINGBABIES]

the inventor of that ringtone has ALOT to answer for!

[kapdrums]

....wow!!!4:45....lord have mercy!!!!!:@@@

[TheStryper777]

He's really got the blues...

He's different, special... he's just got something, he transmits so much peace...

A true bluesman indeed!

[Badonkadonker]

You see the man has got it from within...But as he said ,:"Keep on learning those chords".As mosto likely everybody i really do admire him a lot and I wath his hand like 20-30 mins a day and use my ears to lock up some peaces together.Gotta tell ya even on the acoustic it sounds great!!!

[joehudson]

whats the song played in the beginning of the video!?!?!?!?!?!?? what album!?!?!

[bigjimmyrocker]

what a great guy thank

you

[kiloch]

Thanks

[wtractor024]

i could sit and listen to his advice all day long (being a new guitar player myself)

[gorby9POD]

This guy is an absolute legend and a true gentleman. How many people of his stature would take the time to do this in such a modest and informative manner.

[baileyblake1]

mr bb king there can only ever be one a true great among many great blues men

[970blues]

There is just "something" that is really special about this man. I could listen to him talk about the blues all day.

[JOHNNYG99X]

we all owe something to BB directly or indirectly

[anthology31]

"No body love's me but my mother"-I love you BB King =)

[billyjt4]

One of the coolest interviews I've ever seen.

[skippy3840]

11:47 His guesses will always be better than all of my best moves!

[vieta1972]

@skippy3840 Funny I was thinking the same thing lol.... His mistakes sound better then me at my best lol.....

Keep picking i guess...

[ript2damaxx]

this is amazing... o my god

[davidtheguitarman]

this man knows a lot of blues tricks

[adjeudjweued]

no justin bieber likers in here! :)

[Carlovfx]

@adjeudjweued Justin Bieber can be used as a pick... and actually as a really bad one too!

[KBinning]

@adjeudjweued why would you even mention his name on a bb king video? does it feel good getting all those thumbs up? i bet it does. dickhead.

[alexanderfreund1]

not bad

[SteelSkullX]

I pick like Mr. King now. I don't follow protocol anymore. I do what feels right. Sometimes I alternate and sometimes I don't.

[Noxx93]

18:50 of cool.

[baileyblake1]
