Love the king hope he lives for ever he teaches u so much and has so much soul in his music his phrasings amazing would love to watch him play live just once
You've heard one shredder, you've heard them all. Music is about playing w/ feeling, not how fast you can get through the bar. For my money, BB is the greatest player of them all.
"...and I have to do a lot of practicing before, y'know, I can just do tunes..." - the King has me spellbound, and it's refreshing to know that the greats need to practice too. :) What a beautiful wee tune.
Same here. I think any guitar player who actually likes his instrument feels the same. The man is one smooth motherfucker and it's amazing to see him play right from the heart.
The Greatest Blues player of all times.....with no real rival....even tho there are countless great blues players....BB tops them all. Its all from the heart .
i really can not believe how humble and nice he really seem to be. and really willing to share what he knows about music and blues. he is a real inspiration. bb IS the king.
@markspeedy07 you could tab it but it would lose the soul, watch his finger position and try to get the feel for how far up he's bending the notes. its not really something you can just play from sheet.
@markspeedy07 - sounds like Ab and mostly the notes are from the major pentatonic (bit of minor here and there too). Try to use your ears from there and see if you can mimic the phrases - honestly, it's the best way to learn the feel of it!
So glad you posted this third vedeo of the master. unfortunately, the sound is out of sync with the video. Hard to learn from this. but sure great to listen to.
Does anybody know the chord progression or where is it from?

I'd rather watch a video like this of B.B. King for hours than an a few minutes of Yngwie's shredding.
