I watched BB's interview, and the most interesting part is he played it with feeling. So maybe his response to your video is "Damn you analyzed it very well, son. I didnt even think about it". Great video always, Paul. I enjoy it so much!
He was sooo aware of what he was doing. Feeling comes later. You can cover up one BB song, or two, with just feeling, but he wrote hundreds of sons and made thousands of gigs, he rarely played exactly the same song. He was really aware of what was going on under his fingers.
BB thought about it so much that he didn't have to think about it any more. But that effortless mastery only comes after thousands of hours of intense effort.
Ok, this was BRILLIANT. Great teaching. Also, the “Chapter II” edit transition was freaking cool.... I enjoy your content for both its substance and the creative presentation. Well done all around mate!
Heard this in an interview with Tommy Shannon & Chris Layton after SRV had passed away: One time BB was actually the opening act for SRV. Stevie did not know abt it when he showed up for the gig. Baffled, SRV asks Tommy & Chris "Is that BB? What is he doing here?" They replied "He's opening for you, man". SRV was like "ooooh, no no no. WE shud be opening for him. BB cannot open for us. Never." So, even SRV looked up to BB.
That's why he's the king bibi's awesome I seen him in Texarkana is an excellent excellent musician all the soul and emotion you can imagine great guitar player
That was my favorite video you have ever made. I really want to listen and learn more about this style. I really don't even like the blues that much, I mean, Steve Miller is one of my favorite players, but he's not exactly the blues. You really can bend those strings and make them cry. Awesome video. I'm so inspired! Thank you.
Thank you so much Paul I learn so much watching your videos! Been half assing the guitar for 20 years. Your finally helping me focus. I love what you do, your insight is as always invaluable.
I don't even play guitar. Only just discovered your channel and am impressed by how much I can learn from you, even as a pianist. Only just realised I had seen you forever ago in the juggling video with Adam Neely lol
If you want to hear a totally different version of the thrill is gone. Just listen to The Worried men. Jamie Thyer on guitar. His first band was Motorhead. He's played with like everyone.
Wow, what a great video. And so much attention and work put into it. I just discovered your channel. I'm an old guy getting back into guitar and will be checking out your videos for sure. A great service to the musician community. Thanks!!!
man video quality is so high(or thats just me high af but anyway) and your face and mimic is moving so accurate and smooth that I feel like u sit in front of me and talk right into my face(u also very accurately look into camera though)and also a sound quality is amazing... so that feels trippy, u know :DD oh, and yeah the story about BB King and his music, and his licks and all that staff - super interesting and mega nice to listen, mmm...
Great video. Well explained and demonstrated. Man you can play! I guess If someone doesn't really know much about what they are talking about then then they ramble on a bit like politicians. But, if you have something to say that's worth listening to, then a few well chosen words will get your message across. Sadly I see why my lead is so crap, I talk too much yet don't say anything of value!
I belong to another teaching site. When I brought up the issue of BB Kings mastery I was downplayed because of his “simplicity “ they evidently did not appreciate the complexity of his simplicity
Do a video on Robin Trower's 1 note leads, like in his live "Daydream" (aka "Spellbound"). "Eye of the Storm" by SRC also has a nice 1 note lead. Check it out!
Why wasn't the minor pentatonic called the BB King Box if BB King used it more frequently? Sorry, I really suck at guitar I'm sure I misunderstood something.
I saw BB just before he died. It was more like going to church than going to a concert, it was so spiritual. This discussion is a real tribute to BB, and just makes me like you even more!
Great video Paul. I watch your videos all the time, so time I left a comment. I particularly loved this one. Extremely well done. You're a very entertaining and thoughtful dude :)
One of the greatest videos I ever saw was BB King on stage with Gary moore playing the thrill has gone. They improvised a massive instrumental that was just a complete masterpiece. You see guitarists that can wail,shred and all sorts of stuff ( which is amazing ) but then BB just walks on stage and plays one note and the crowd would go nuts. Amazing
I found Paul's channel about a week ago and ive already watched a ton of videos...I have to say, his filmography, sound design, guitar and production skills, and concise way of explaining things is absolutely outstanding! Thank you so much, Paul
Exactly that, it is in all aspects very Playful.. I love it With all that extra attention how he chooses to montage his clips it's extraordinary His way of explaining all, very clear, and it does exactly that what it supposed to do... Makes you wanna grab your guitar Correction here!... Makes you grab your guitar
I just found it about 4 or 5 days ago. Not sure how something/someone like this slid under my radar for so long. Lovely lovely channel in every aspect. It's the way he breaks things down and then proceeds to show you, very simply, exactly what he means. It's unbelievably helpful and ALWAYS makes you think, "OH!! I can do that!" Especially someone like me that has taught himself and been stuck when it comes to music theory. I get what the scales are, and how play like a jazz or blues guitarist. Just figured that stuff out through jam sessions or by messing around. So these type of videos are my way of learning the actual basics behind music theory. The 'WHY' behind the 'HOW' it works. He's been an unbelievable help .
i never met him but my grandpa is tony coleman, so i heard a lot of stories about bb. my grandpa was devastated when he died. bb was like his second father.
I'm a new guitar player in my late 50's. I knew of but didn't listen to B.B. King much in my younger days instead finding blues-based rock very appealing - AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, the Stones etc. Now I find myself going to back many of the predecessors of these blues-based hard rock bands and finding so much artistry and blues magic. Thank you Paul for this video, it makes stepping into this new guitar hobby so much richer.
I think BB King and Albert King's greatest strenght was restraint - they are some of the only players that never overplay and even the best current guitarists who try and copy simply can't lock into that mindset. With BB the fact that he was such an incredible singer really is at the core of his playing. Great lesson.
I wished my girlfriend talked about me the way you talk about B.B. King.
She always talks about you.
I'm lucky, my wife loves me and B.B. King.
Haha yeah
Well, she does talk a lot about that guy that plays guitar that leaves in her building, the same way he talks about B.B.
And in that time too?
I watched BB's interview, and the most interesting part is he played it with feeling. So maybe his response to your video is "Damn you analyzed it very well, son. I didnt even think about it".
Great video always, Paul. I enjoy it so much!
Lmao, no
He was sooo aware of what he was doing. Feeling comes later. You can cover up one BB song, or two, with just feeling, but he wrote hundreds of sons and made thousands of gigs, he rarely played exactly the same song.
He was really aware of what was going on under his fingers.
BB thought about it so much that he didn't have to think about it any more. But that effortless mastery only comes after thousands of hours of intense effort.
Perfect explanation of what BB did. And that Les Paul is insanely gorgeous!
Great video!
Thanks for putting so much work in those videos.
Really appreciate it!
I haven't listened a lot of BB King music but i will. I really like that style
I'm proud to be one of your 2.69 million subscribers because all of your videos are so awesome and educational. Thank you very much ❤️ for that!!!
Im a teacher myself and am loving your clear, concise teaching style.
Ok, this was BRILLIANT. Great teaching. Also, the “Chapter II” edit transition was freaking cool.... I enjoy your content for both its substance and the creative presentation. Well done all around mate!
Good to see you enjoying yourself whilst teaching !!!
I've watched the video all the way. No skipping. Good stuff. Thank you!
Tank you Paul. What a wonderful teacher you are !!!!!
Great video! Paul explains perfectly what matters in soloing.
Great explanation without a bunch of useless boring filler. Excellent Job. Thanks

Awesome inspirational speech at the end!
You're a great teacher, mate. You definitely have it. (I say this as a teacher myself). Thanks for putting these together for us.
So nice, rolle a joint. Watch Paul. Grab the guitar and try a little bit. Great work
Bedroom player here. That whole thing about what to bend to (or not) and when just clicked for me - thank you!
That's why he's the king bibi's awesome I seen him in Texarkana is an excellent excellent musician all the soul and emotion you can imagine great guitar player

Ik woonde een paar jaar in Nederland :) Groetjes.
If you want to hear a totally different version of the thrill is gone. Just listen to The Worried men. Jamie Thyer on guitar. His first band was Motorhead. He's played with like everyone.
Wow, what a great video. And so much attention and work put into it. I just discovered your channel. I'm an old guy getting back into guitar and will be checking out your videos for sure. A great service to the musician community. Thanks!!!

Great explanation.
Great video. Well explained and demonstrated. Man you can play! I guess If someone doesn't really know much about what they are talking about then then they ramble on a bit like politicians. But, if you have something to say that's worth listening to, then a few well chosen words will get your message across. Sadly I see why my lead is so crap, I talk too much yet don't say anything of value!
Love this! Thank you Paul! Could you do a similar episode on David Gilmour?
Blues is about feeling not about notes that’s why all the guitarist respect BB King
I know that 2nd pentatonic box as the "Freddie King box"
1:19
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH THE HEADSTOCK!!!!
...all the way from Athens Hellas (greece), a big "Thank you".…
Spot on"..
This is such s great video! I just need to grab my guitar!
Paul I never say anything to you.
Yet this time I'd like to thank you for making this John Mayer roast video.
There's a good reason this video has 43 thousand likes and next to 0 dislikes
Excellent video
Beautiful...
Very nice dude. God bless you
1:18
Paul: Beautifully
Guitar: *Thud*
Nice how that minor pattern works great with major. Any more videos with lessons on that shtt...
Excellent !!!
saw him live at the louisville palace a couple of years before he died
Awesome explanation, thanks for sharing!
Grande lezione bravissimo
I'm still watching this, woooh
Brilliant video on the king.. many thanks..
This is going to take me a year to digest...
lick 1 7:09
lick 2 7:50

Your stoping to soon you.need that 17frent double stop great damn video
No way, you where at the Brouwersdam??? I’ve worked there !!!
Chains & Things is on your list twice. I guess you like that song 😁
Nice video, but you should be playing a black semi hollow for this video. 😊
I belong to another teaching site. When I brought up the issue of BB Kings mastery I was downplayed because of his “simplicity “ they evidently did not appreciate the complexity of his simplicity
That reminded me the solo with "time was- canned heat".
The PewDiePie of guitar
You have a fantastic beard
Great
" it makes my index finger hurt" thanks for the reminder that you are, yes you are a mere mortal! Lol
Pure jest my friend. You make me laugh...
Do a video on Robin Trower's 1 note leads, like in his live "Daydream" (aka "Spellbound").
"Eye of the Storm" by SRC also has a nice 1 note lead. Check it out!
You can study the greatests of the greatests ( where bb belongs ) and you'll quickly realise one common thing: simplicity
Why wasn't the minor pentatonic called the BB King Box if BB King used it more frequently?
Sorry, I really suck at guitar I'm sure I misunderstood something.
You missed one big thing. The minor third bend! 101 of all blues guitar.
The fact that we are still talking about and dissecting the playing of B.B. King is so damn awesome. What a legend.
You're like the Bob Ross of guitar videos. I could sit and listen all day.
Crispy Rice's Mellifluous Sonic Chamber maybe some nice clouds over here...and clouds need friends so how about a lovely green tree, just so...
Crispy Rice's Mellifluous Sonic Chamber this is the most accurate sentence ever written
Okay before I did my own comment I just had to say that this man made the perfect comment.
Paul IS the Bob Ross of guitars
Totally...we don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents :)
I literally just watched a bob ross video before this😂😂
I saw BB just before he died. It was more like going to church than going to a concert, it was so spiritual. This discussion is a real tribute to BB, and just makes me like you even more!
Like the minute before he died? Did he have any last words?
Great video Paul. I watch your videos all the time, so time I left a comment. I particularly loved this one. Extremely well done. You're a very entertaining and thoughtful dude :)

Agreed. He must spend ages putting these together.
I just found it about 4 or 5 days ago. Not sure how something/someone like this slid under my radar for so long. Lovely lovely channel in every aspect.

@@nellyb1594 je slwx pas
The notes may be easy to play, but it's how he plays them that makes them special.
How and when...he plays them...
.
I think that's what the video was saying.
yup
Nah they're just easy to play. Even an intermediate can make them sound good
@@davesheil7454 He played blues not prog. That's why your post is shite
Great stuff Paul! Loving your content.
1:18 Gibson Headstock crack alert
I cringed so hard. Hate it when it happens to me 😤😭😭😭
3:41 again
Lmao
How the hell did you notice that lol. Now I'm cringing and I can't unhear/see it
B was my good friend & inspiration. Talking to him was just like his playing. Warm friendly , sincere with a great sense of humor. A rare person.
i never met him but my grandpa is tony coleman, so i heard a lot of stories about bb. my grandpa was devastated when he died. bb was like his second father.
Yes I agree. BB was one of the nicest, humble and caring person I’ve ever met.
I'm a new guitar player in my late 50's. I knew of but didn't listen to B.B.

With BB the fact that he was such an incredible singer really is at the core of his playing. Great lesson.
Guitarists who fully utilise "silence" as a valid musical note. David Gilmour from Pink Floyd was a master of that among rock guitarists.
What a great editing work! Your content is always great stuff. Thanks again Paul. Greetings from Brazil
