I love BB King's philosophy on playing the guitar. He does not attempt to overwhelm his audience with a ton of notes, but instead picks the melodies and licks he wants to use extremely carefully and with "soul". Through his guitar, perhaps, we were allowed to glimpse into his personality.
9californication Our job as guitarists, and as musicians in general, is to let everyone know both the joy and pain that is in our souls. Every time we play, we should be telling our story with no words, allowing all who hear to look into our hearts and to become as possessed by our music as we are
Extremely carefully? I came here to to try to change my long standing opinion that he is overrated. My opinion remains the same. He is sloppy. While he was a good singer, his guitar skills sucked.
If you read any further on to this you will see where someone or should I say some idiot said that BB playing is extremely sloppy well I don't know who he is and I know that he sounds like he plays that's what I mean plays because so many of these guys got into the guitar or should I say that play the guitar that's all they do is play because if it wasn't for all this stuff Wawa feedback and everything else they wouldn't I don't like s*** because that's all they're doing is listening to garbage do it without all that equipment and all that junk and let's see how you sound then BB didn't use any of that stuff he was natural and as far as the way that he played and did his face to be honest when you a guitar picker like myself picking guitar is better then getting a good piece of ass that's why we frown and look ugly and we getting down play on BB play on my man
Love how he handles the bad note he played at 0:48. "If you make a mistake, just make sure to make the same mistake twice and people will think it was intentionally".
If you have seen B.B. live, there are lots of clams. It doesn't matter unless you're a guitar purist. He put so much energy through his playing that minor errors did not affect the music at all. The vast majority of his playing was directly connected to his emotional state, and so few players can claim this, that minor technical errors just show how profound the vast majority of his playing was.
This is some of the most extraordinary playing by B.B. I’ve ever heard - despite the goofs/tuning issues. He was in another zone this night. I’ll definitely be watching this multiple times. What a genius. Thanks, B.B. 🙏
The older I get the more I appreciate B.B. He doesn't just play generic licks to fill space. He plays with intent and purpose. And his singing can melt stone.
Excellent band leader and I always watch his in character band directing. And sound quality in person was never a problem. Got to know some of the band members and meet BB twice. Real professionals. Saw him live in the 70's, 80's, 90's and 2000's. RIP BB.
I've been playing for over 30 years and I'm still humbled everytime I hear BB play. Anyone can play a blues scale but how many people can make you cry with one note?
Going through the comments, I thought his music put a tear in eye..it make me reflect on the trials and tribulations of life, ups and downs hardships and joys of the world and the people there of!!!!!!!
Yes, I watched BB in his earliest of days, playing on campus at Memphis State U. He would sit out on the lawn in the hot Delta sunshine, & play for hours, and hours.... we were so blessed! One roommate said, " who's this guy?" THATS BB KING! HE'LL BE REAL FAMOUS ONE DAY! Yes, true.... now I am 69 yrs old. My 35 yr old son just called and had purchased this album!! ❤ Imagine my Honor for the King! Watched his life come full circle for me now... Yes, The Legend! 😂 ....passed on to my son! so proud!
This video is an upfront lesson on the power of using dynamics when soloing. The patience, the phrasing, the space, all leading to the build-up. Few Blues guitarists ever did it better than Mr. King; in fact, I would dare say that many of them probably learned it FROM HIM. Respect and RIP.
In the summer of 1972, I was 14 years old and went to my first concert. BB King was playing a small theatre in my hometown of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. After the show, my friend and I went back stage to look around. In one of the tiny rooms, sat the Blues Boy himself, lovingly wiping down Lucille. He invited us in and we sat and talked to him for a good 30 minutes. He was nothing but kind to two young, White teenagers, giving us autographs and embossed guitar picks. I’d been taping the show on a small portable recorder and recorded it all and our conversation . Unfortunately, in one of my many moves over the years, I lost the tape sometime in the late 90’s. R.I.P. Blues Boy King. 💙 🎸
Such a wonderful story. I saw many great bands fr late 68 I had just turned 17 til 73-74 . Then again in the 80’and on . Two people I wish I saw was Muddy Waters and BB King . Also Bob Marley now that I think about it .
B.B. King never fails to play chord/note progression that makes me screw up my face. What a friggin BEAST he was when it came to blues. RIP to the King of Blues ❤️
Everything about this is superb. The opening solos, the singing and the horn arrangements. And B. B. was so great at dramatizing his songs with his facial expressions. He always gave us 100% heart and soul along with impeccable professionalism in every detail and that pure clear tone in both his singing and guitar.
The BEST. Saw him 3x... got to meet him backstage 2x. I have a cassette of Mr. King and myself where he spoke some promotional lines for a Blues Radio show I had in the late 90's. Greatest thrill of my life meeting such a genuine, caring, talented man. THE BEST EVER.
Truly a talent that will never be forgotten. Many of my favorite musical acts owe so much to this man and for damn good reason. A true legend in music history that will continue to live on in the hearts of myself and many others for generations to come.
For the first few minutes, I thought whats the big deal? Other players have had better tone. But then a subtle turn of the volume knob at 3:00 changes EVERYTHING... I used to read that BB could say a lot more with one note than other players could say in a thousand and they ain't kidding. Now I've witnessed it.
Before I listened to blues I never rated BB King, or most blues players for that matter. I used to think metal guitarists were the best, boy was I wrong. As I got older I learned to appreciate blues, and in my opinion feel is more important than technique or virtuosity. Even something as technical as jazz or classical is boring without the right feel. Jimi Hendrix once said "The blues is easy to play, but hard to feel" I think most people misinterpret what he said. Blues is easy to understand, makes sense to the ear, and usually follows the same chord pattern. It's easy to learn the notes you can play. But it's actually very hard to make it sound good, or impressive. That's the challenge when playing the blues and where feel comes in.
+Michael Holmes The big deal with the first 3 minutes - apart from it being some great playing with a perfectly appropriate tone - is that it sets you up for that big note at 3:00. Without the long slow build, there would be no build up of tension and anticipation, and no big drama and release when he hits us at 3:00. A device of which B was a master, of course.
@@L3ONARDO07 man this is story of my life, when I started my journey in the blues, this is what overwhelms me, man every time I listen to bb specially here the 60s stuff, he was at his peak, this makes me blue every time I listen to it, musically this is the purest and sweetest... man the words are so fragile to describe, man this is the blues.
We lose another great legend. Rest in Peace my dear B.B King. So glad I got a chance to fall in love with your music before you passed away. The way you toured the continents and hit those blues notes till the age of 89, I don't think anyone can or ever will. You gave us Santana, John Mayer, Derek Trucks, Gary Clark jr. and so many more great artists. The world has so much to thank you for, we shall remember you. Now you can finally jam with SRV, Albert King and Mr. Collins again
I am in my teen age Many of my friends are into pop music But for me blues hit different.... I wish you was alive today and I could watch you perform live somewhere 😭 Love you king 👑
Lyrics I've got a sweet little angel I love the way she spreads her wings Yes, got a sweet little angel I love the way she spread her wings Yes, when she spreads her wings around me, people I get so hot and everything You know, I ask my baby for a nickel And she gave me a twenty-dollar bill Oh yes, I asked my baby for a nickel And she gave me a twenty-dollar bill Well, you know I ask her for a little drink of liquer And she gave me a whiskey still Oh yeah, if my baby quit me Lord, I do believe I would die Oh yeah, if my baby should quit me Lord, I do believe I would die Lord, if you don't love me, little angel Please tell me the reason why
RIP B.B. King The world just lost another blues legend and the big guy just gained another angel. Time to play that great big gig in the sky with SRV Muddy Howlin wolf Albert king and many many more. Thank you for all your great music throughout the years. May you Rest In Paradise 🎸🙏🎸
Every note that emanates from his body means absolutely everything. They don't come from a string on a fretboard, or his vocal chords, they come from his very soul.
Jozef Joze not sure what cocky has anything to do....with anything...every guitar player messes up every now and then. BB King quote "I have dumb fingers...I don't have the chops some of these other guys do." So again, where was he being cocky?
R.I.P. B.B. You were a huge influence on me. Thanks for all the great music and for showing us how you don't have to be a flashy guitar player to be a great guitar player. You put more feeling in one note than most do with 100!
His vibrato probably plays a large part, and during similar moments in other videos I've seen him adjust the volume/tone dials on Lucille. I'd like to learn exactly how he does it though, if someone knows more about the King's magic.
Everyone's talking about the well sustained note at 3:00 but I'm more gripped by that gorgeous turnaround lick at 0:55. Golly gosh goodness wow, I want that lick
if you want to figure out the phrasing, the notes are the 4th note of this scale (pentatonic) then a half step below the root note then the root note all on the higher octave obviously
Listen to the note that he bends, vibrates, holds, bends again, starting at 03:00. Watch his face. This is blues like no one else can. Thank you for the lesson Mr King.
Maravilhosa são as músicas do B.B. King, trazem paz e harmonia ao meu coração, além de me darem a calma que necessito muitas vezes. É raro achar pessoa no Brasil de bom gosto musical, como o meu....
Long live bb king Altho he’s gone so what he lives on inspired me to pick up a guitar at age 1. I saw him play without strumming and he did make his guitar speak on strings and vibrations alone. 👍
BB the world's GREATEST BLUES MAN. We, the world will miss YOU and LUCILLE so very much. I know you've now joined that fantastic HEAVENLY CHOIR. Rest In Peace - your hard days are over. ♥
This man loved to play the guitar. You could see in his face that he loved to play that damn instrument. I bet he played for hours all alone and got into it just as hard
The fans think the song is over before the lyrics even begin, I love blues music and the way BB King hits those long never ending notes just does it for me.. notes like a fortnight
A guitarra é como se fosse parte dele,e as expressões faciais que ele faz...cara,Blues é a união do concreto e do abstrato.Corpo e alma na mesma frequência.E B.B king é a prova do que eu digo.
............I LOVE THE WAY..........WYS BB."TESTIFY"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M self Quarantining with BB,OTIS,,JACKIE,SAM,ARETHA,ETTA,GLADYS AND THEM...............

When you think the guitar part is enough to make him a legend, He starts singing and you just can't believe your ears.
Rest in Peace King!

I love BB's "hype man" off to the side, throwing in a "yeah," every six seconds.
I love the faces he makes. He's feeling our feelings for us.
Indeed, my man.
YES! YESSSS!!!
Reading his autobiography and his wife Martha called him lemon face. Absolute legend.
@@ohdannyboy4727 I bet his wife also called him the King

That's how I do it; might even play it more than twice for emphasis.

There is no such thing as a bad note

Many people under estimate the impact of the backing band. BB King always had a killer band. Makes a big difference.
I saw him live toward the end. His band was phenomenal
SI
He was the OG
Well, i think this is normal. A legend deserves a great band 🥰
Excellent band leader and I always watch his in character band directing. And sound quality in person was never a problem. Got to know some of the band members and meet BB twice. Real professionals. Saw him live in the 70's, 80's, 90's and 2000's. RIP BB.
Holy Sh$%t! B.B. King breaking the Matrix right here...The guitar is crying in his hands...RIP Legend!

I think I've listened to it 20 times. can always find something new to love here.
I've been playing for over 30 years and I'm still humbled everytime I hear BB play. Anyone can play a blues scale but how many people can make you cry with one note?
True, i am trying to learn that right now

Watched his life come full circle for me now... Yes, The Legend! 😂 ....passed on to my son! so proud!
You can just hear the emotion in his playing... I love the blues.
Nobody ever made a guitar sing like B.B.

I don't think anyone ever has had more control of volume than BB. He can do swells without the knob!

It's vibrato...different from a regular bend...

no he ain't , only his earthly body
Sure man! He leaves his energy and playing for us :)

A masterclass in blues playing and singing by one of the greatest masters of both.

There has never been a better duo nor will there be a better duo than Lucille and B.B King.
Rest In Peace, Sir. The Thrill may be gone, but your music will live forever.
This just brought tears to my eyes,...God bless you BB and thank you for sharing your precious gift with the world. Rest in Paradise King

A man and his guitar. Transcending beyond words. See you on the flip side, you will be missed...
Every note that emanates from his body means absolutely everything. They don't come from a string on a fretboard, or his vocal chords, they come from his very soul.
This is so good ! Really wish I 'd got to see BB perform one time during his life.
The King is gone but will never be forgotten!!
This is how it is meant to sound. Love it
he totally fucked up at 0:48. maybe if he wasn't being so cocky. or maybe if he practiced being cocky more often
he totally fucked up at 0:48. maybe if he wasn't being so cocky. or maybe if he practiced being cocky more often
Jozef Joze not sure what cocky has anything to do....with anything...every guitar player messes up every now and then. BB King quote "I have dumb fingers...I don't have the chops some of these other guys do." So again, where was he being cocky?
he was cocky by hitting them with the no looker like jordan
ooooooohhhh lol I see
BB King is a music legend. Obviously he will be missed, but he had/has the respect and admiration of millions of people. Rest in Peace, Mr. King.
The man was the show. I'm so totally enthralled watching him that I forget I'm watching him. What a talent he was.. Carries me away.
My favorite guitar player and singer all wrapped into one person. Amazing.
i like how the one man keeps saying "yeah" and "yes" all the time😂
songohan511 the very first hype man 😂
jesus had a whole squad of hype men. Imagine him preaching on the mount: Tell em Jesus! They aint ready for this one jesus!
It’s church!
Pretty sure I heard a kissy sound at one point in there too
Sometimes he says: aha
R.I.P. B.B.
You were a huge influence on me. Thanks for all the great music and for showing us how you don't have to be a flashy guitar player to be a great guitar player. You put more feeling in one note than most do with 100!
at 3:00 The perfect note.
that *sustain!*
How did he do that? It was 3 bars long, wow. (10 seconds long) 3:01 - 3.11
His vibrato probably plays a large part, and during similar moments in other videos I've seen him adjust the volume/tone dials on Lucille.
I'd like to learn exactly how he does it though, if someone knows more about the King's magic.
B.B. king
It's controlled feedback. Easily achieved when you drive the power section of a valve/tube amp at a high level.

3 and a half minutes of the greatest soloing and the rest being some of the most seductive and soulful vocals of all time
Long Live the Missippi Blues💙💙
Just stunning ! I've been a lifelong BB King fan but not seen this before. Wow!!
Listen to the note that he bends, vibrates, holds, bends again, starting at 03:00. Watch his face. This is blues like no one else can. Thank you for the lesson Mr King.
Nothing great ever dies. Riley King gave us such a great gift.
Maravilhosa são as músicas do B.B. King, trazem paz e harmonia ao meu coração, além de me darem a calma que necessito muitas vezes. É raro achar pessoa no Brasil de bom gosto musical, como o meu....

Around the 3:00 minute mark is what B.B. King to me. R.I.P.

BB the world's GREATEST BLUES MAN. We, the world will miss YOU and LUCILLE so very much. I know you've now joined that fantastic HEAVENLY CHOIR. Rest In Peace - your hard days are over. ♥
That guitar was never the same after B.B. got done with it. An
educational video on blues.
BB. King, real king of blues
He didn’t play with dissonant tension as much in his later years. This video is amazing! I’m so glad I got to see him play before he died! 👑
I want music like this today!
I love his face while he plays
He really had a great way with his baby girl
A master that will prevail forever
This man loved to play the guitar. You could see in his face that he loved to play that damn instrument. I bet he played for hours all alone and got into it just as hard
I honestly believed B.B. King would outlive me by decades. In a way, no doubt he will.
R.I.P.
RIP King.. Your music is life.. and you will forever live!!
RIP and long live B.B. King (September 16, 1925 - May 14, 2015), aged 89
You will always be remembered as a legend.
You can see every note on his face this is probably the best thing.
NEVER be another BB KING - R.I.P. - Time to play the big gig in the sky now XOXOX
May you rest in in eternal peace and happiness, Thanks for the memories BB, you will be missed.
The fans think the song is over before the lyrics even begin, I love blues music and the way BB King hits those long never ending notes just does it for me.. notes like a fortnight
Gotta love BB, mistakes and all.
You definitely will be missed but your music will live on forever more....
BB hitting high notes like mariah :) 2020 still the king
A guitarra é como se fosse parte dele,e as expressões faciais que ele faz...cara,Blues é a união do concreto e do abstrato.Corpo e alma na mesma frequência.E B.B king é a prova do que eu digo.
Rest in Peace, B.B. King, thank you for everything. :')
Music comes from the soul and you can see BB feeling every note........
Tanta pasión canalizada en Arte!!! Gracias gracias gracias!! ❤️
0:48 The Master is a halftone to deep for a moment - but his playing so sweet and tender ! Fantastic !
The sweetest bends, and the absolutely best vibrato anyone has ever had. His vibrato is just perfect and is a ridiculously hard technique to learn.
For me this is the best performance i have seen him do. I am melting watching this lead work
This put goosebumps on me ❤
