Here's my cover of the first part of the beautiful BB King solo in Sweet Little Angel as he played it at Le Palais Des Congres in Paris in 1983 (with Dave Brubeck on piano). An amazing version, I love this one. Thanks to Guitar Techniques mag for the backing track and the transcription - it was a big help (though I use my own fingerings in some places).

I'm using an Epiphone Lucille (with Gibson 490 pickups), plugged straight into a Mesa Boogie Studio .22+, reverb on 8 and the active EQ engaged (with a slight mid bump), no other effects, Schulz cable and Fender 358 heavy "mandolin" pick.

Hope you like this one, those first finger bends are a killer workout! :)
