  • Another interesting video of B.B I've seen kicking around RUclips that I wanted to transcribe to get a deeper understanding of his ideas.
    This interesting conversation covers topics such as his signature vibrato, outlining chord changes, improvising and more. Hope you find it as insightful as I did!

    So much love for B.B. King. He was in a Guitar Center near me one time in Fountain Valley, California, and told one of the young guitar players that he could learn something from the kid. And the employee later told us the kid felt a little insulted because he thought BB was being sarcastic. But BB was one of the most sincere and humble greats there ever was. I really appreciate you putting the tablature with this although it would’ve also been good to have the notes because I read notes better than tablature.

    This is invaluable, I think when you want to learn a style you have to learn how that player thinks and how they get to that certain note or phrase. Also love how every time BB talks he is always downplaying his talent. He is one of or maybe THE most influential guitarist ever and he talks about how he could improve. What a guy

    The genuine humility, is so appealing… it makes you want to listen more intently to what he says..
    I’m so glad I got to see BB live,along with Buddy Guy, two giants, in my book..
    BB could get more out of a single note, than any player I ever heard..
    He definitely told stories.. with his guitar… not to mention his singing, that was out of this world.. he played and sang, with his heart, what a beautiful talent God shared with us..

    Important thing he told us all... Everybody can do it if he/she really want it ✌🏽eve thing is practice how u do it in the end is your way and that's exactly what we all searching for our own way BB. King once said every note is music remember and practise guys change the world with music 💯🎸🎶😎🍀🥰

    Unreal player. So many people call him overrated because he doesn't play "fast"... yet they can't make the guitar sing like him.

      Your Speaking Facts nobody can make a guitar sound like BB but BB. Whoever said he was overrated doesn’t understand real music and they definitely don’t understand the Blues.

      Playing fast is overrated. Hendrix didn't play fast he played what he wanted to hear, it just came out fast. Shredding is overrated, Jimi didn't shred, the guitar shredded him.

      @@easymoney94 exactly. Anybody can play extremely fast if they put the necessary time towards it. At that point though, it's less of an "art" to me. It's a "contest". It's ego. It's the desire for "perfection".
      To me, perfection doesn't speak to me.
      But a tasteful single note from BB King, David Gilmour, George Harrison, Carlos Santana, etc.... with the right vibrato and dynamic can speak directly to the heart.
      As a kid, I never understood BB King because he didn't play "fast". I idolized Steve Vai and EVH. Great players and they got great feel too. But BB King is something else.

    Down picking has its own sound that you cannot get from alternating down/up picking. I guess its best to be proficient at both.
