When BB king says learn the chords, learn the chord progression, what does he mean?

[frajolaking]

@cucuta95 your solo should follow the chords progressions. exemple, if you´ll play a song in G, you shouldn´t solo just in G...you should solo by the chords progression

[rocknflip66]

this guy is inspirational. not just as a guitarist but as a person.

[Lesterchesterlp]

Lol what he calls "noodling" is basically in incredible solo .

[MasssTR]

what scale is that he uses? >< just pentatonic?

[HurdRandy]

@HurdRandy That's G, B, and D. Not just G and B.

[HurdRandy]

@cucuta95 When the band plays a G chord, you emphasize the G, B and notes, because they are in that chord. When the band switches to D7, you should be focusing on the D, F#, and A notes, as they are in that chord. Then you can get creative after that. It's a good start to understand how you are playing "over" the chords, "with" them... not just randomly playing within the scale. Hope that helps.

[NahuelMusic]

it's great during the slow blues solo you can hear the progression

[annabatarowicz]

@cucuta95 he means like take e major scale (yeah) the notes in that scale are, and to keep it simple keep it on the bass e string. so the notes are asending e, f sharp, a flat, a, b, c sharp, e flat and back to e. now the chords you would play instead of single notes would be emajor, f sharp minor, a flat ninor, a major, b major, c sharp minor, e diminished, and back on e major. that is the chord progression in key of e major you can mix those chords around and it will always sound musical

oh how i wish he was my grandad

[horaizon8288]

simple...and the best.

[pytonormen92]

he is and will always be a legend in history of blues and soul music

@cucuta95

B.B has never been known to be a rhythm

player, and most of his career has been centered on his lead guitar and soloing abilities, which he usually plays in one key with very few notes (that's all he needs)

He's saying young players should pay more attention to the rhythm section behind them so they can make lead changes over the chords they're playing.
