He's quick to call out his influences including some under-stated greats that never got the spotlight in their day. You must be thinking of someone else, or just don't like him without knowing anything about him.

    My Mom grew up in Indianola, Mississippi, was raised on B. B. King, Elvis and the delta blues, back in the fifties. Her Dad was so strict, she had to sneak the records in the house through her bedroom window and could only play them when her Dad (my grandpa) was not at home. Then she and her Mom (my grandma) would cut a rug. Indianola, MS has the B.B. King museum, very neat place. Mom is 81 now, has dementia and still listens to the delta blues, I’m so glad she passed that love of music on to me, Mr. King was the King of Mississippi Blues.

    True story. I have been a rock n roller for 50 years. My freinds knew I was into rock music and kept asking if I have ever heard of Joe? I would always say its just not my type of music, even though I had never heard a note he played! Looking on you tube at old concert footage, and who pops up, this guy Joe Bonamassa. I heard two measures of, I cant even remember what song, and I was hooked, couldnt stop watching video after video. This guy kicks ass! Why didnt I listen to the people who knew me?!
    Since then, three years ago now, I have dug deep into the blues. Son House, Jimmy Reed, Robert Johnson, Howlin Wolf, Lightnin Hopkins and the list goes on. Delta blues, Chicago blues.
    Joe, they would be proud of you and the work you have done to keep the blues on the map. I know Muddy Waters gave that job to Buddy Guy just a week before he died, but brother, you carry the torch high and well lit!
    Thank you for giving me the inspiration to learn about the roots of the blues. It has been an eye opener to know a lot of the music and songs I have loved for years came from these pioneers.
    I picked up the guitar again for the first time in 10 years, but play a whole new style. Its amazing that "12 bar blues" pattern is everywhere when you know what to listen for.

    Saw B.B. King in South Lake Tahoe in 94. I was 19 been playing guitar a few years. His band was on fire, especially the B3 player. About 6 songs in B.B. snapped his B string, with our missing a note the band kept going. I knew what to look for and couple see his piano player giving cues to different members of the band to take 8 bars for them self. All at the the same time B.B.’s guitar tech ran out with a new string and strung B.B. ‘s guitar with it still on him. Then he went right back into his solo. He was way past the 10,000 hours on stage ...

    When it comes to B.B. King's playing the notes are the easy part.
    The real challenge is in the phrasing, swing, and vibrato. B.B. was a world class singer and his guitar style perfectly matched his voice.
    If you focus on the phrasing of his vocals too, I've found it a lot easier to nail such royally delicious licks.

    Some great information here. Unfortunately, some of what Joe says perpetuates the myth of the unschooled blues artist. As I understand it, BB used to study theory books in his spare time on the bus and his decision to keep his playing simple was just that, a decision, not a result of lack of knowledge. My own experience from seeing him numerous times was that every time, though sometimes only once a night , he would rip off a rapid be-bop based lick I had never heard him play before that would whip my head around with a WTF.
