@@GuitarLessonsGeek thank you! Was just thinking how we hear the BB influence in just about every blues artist today. Matt Schofield & Chris Cain take that to such a high level that I hope to emulate at some point
@@stephenhanlin2388 Of course, Mr. King was one of the greats! It's amazing to see how each new generation takes inspiration from their predecessors :)
I seriously don't understand what is this big hype around BB King. He did not play anything else in his whole life then a minor pentatonic scale. Maximum blues scale!I personally think that he was an honest and dedicated guitarist but extremely simple player. Personally I can not listen to his playing because it is really that awkward. Very boring, very simple and beginner tasty. There is a blues soul in his playing but common...King of blues? Good blues guitarist? :))) Let me just not start to list who is/was a great blues guitarist... His name is already super awkward. It always makes me smile. Who gives a name like this to himself? :) OMG! :( Seriously....After half a year of playing everyone can play a blues solo like him! Everyone! Or compose songs with 3 chords or on a 12 bar blues...etc..I'm serious! You can argue with me but just show me one (only one!) song or solo where he plays anything else than a damn minor pentatonic... Always repeating the same licks again and again... :(
His touch and feel is unmatched in my opinion. Besides, we should keep in mind that back then his material was groundbreaking. Today it's considered standard blues :)

BB did once play a les paul
That's awesome! Probably in his early, pre-Lucille days :)
What guitar is that
les paul
It's a Gibson Les Paul Standard with 50's neck. Very heavy :)
It appears that your profile picture is very similar to it
