If you are a guitar player, you probably appreciate it a lot more. Otherwise it may just seem like air guitar for non-players. As a player, it is incredible how well this was synchronized. Obviously this is not what he was playing, but the techniques heard are shown at the right times and when possible, segments where the playing matched the audio were actually used. I would bet the guy who made this video definitely plays guitar himself. You would not otherwise be able to line up hammer ons and pull offs, slides, bends and vibrato (especially hard to fake I would think) so well that many of the notes fretted are likely within a semitone of being correct
A lot of people forget BB King’s pioneering, neo classical, metal guitar playing. Before his live at the regal concert, BB was donning spandex and permed hair WAY before Yngwie Malmsteen. However, he was so ahead of his time, that folks weren’t ready for it yet. That’s why he settled for a more laid back, blues style.
Permed hair perhaps but....the spandex would be a no go. Every broad in the place would be passing out " trouser rouser". I mean tell us what religion you are BB, without telling us what religion you are.
Yeah I laughed at it too. Every time, the expression on BB's face too made me laugh too. Whoever did this was really good a editing in the parts and whoever played over it plays really good and has an excellent tone.
Thanks God he played in Ljubljana back then, I still keep the concert ticked in my drawer and Blues Boy in my heart. This is beyond words!!!!! Ciao from Slovenia, yours truly Peter :-)
It’s so nice to see an 80-something year old African American blues player who never forgot where he came from! who never forgot his Northern European/Scandinavian 🇸🇪 Neoclassical roots!... things go full circle......Fantastic to see.
@@wsplatinum Hmmm ! Let's see. Is Riley King's ancestry from northern europe or scandinavia ? I think not ! I do believe his ancestry is from Africa and his grandparents were slaves. How is that european/scandinavian ? I must have missed that in history class or misread his autobiography.
In 1973., when I was just 15 years old, me and my best friend stood right in front of BB at the foot of the stage and watched him play beautifully for two solid hours. What made it extra special was at the end of the concert BB bent over and with a smile gave me the guitar pick he been playing with all night. It was bright red and had his name "BB King" embossed on it. I am ashamed to admit sometime later I lost the wallet in which I had been keeping the pick. Nevertheless, this video. brings back the memory of this great guitarist and the kindness he showed a skinny 15-year-old white boy who worshipped blues guitar. A genuinely nice man. One of the all-time greats.
This had to be the best fake vid ever. I laughed so hard when I see him played, got me thinking that B.B King really did play Malmsteen's song for a few seconds then I realized that it's a really well made video. Kudos to the guitar player who made it possible.
Lmbo! Are you serious. B.B King was born in 1925 and his career was over 70 years. Yngwie wasn't even born till 1963. Heck Yngwie's parents weren't even born yet. So who influenced who. Get your facts right.
I suppose your guitar never goes out of tune !! ...........try playing live in front of some lights etc and you'll see its different from your bedroom.
B.B. was once asked in an interview, “What’s it like being the greatest guitarist in the world?” To which he replied, “I wouldn’t know, ask Yngwie Malmsteen.” Dead serious. Look it up.
THAT is freaking awesome!! I always throw Yngwie's name out there when asked who I think is the greatest guitar player. Followed very closely by George Lynch.
Amazing fake video. The best is the guitar player behind the video. He has to be a genious to syncronize every single note, every bending,...of B B King. Well done unknown guitar player!!
Absolutely brilliant! Love how you match the notes that BB is playing then when we can’t see his fingers you throw some shredding in. My favorite video in a long time.
It's amazing stuff. If you look closely, you can see Jimi Hendrix on glockenspiel, Elvis on the marimba, and Jim Morrison just standing there being the Lizard King.
Cause it’s fake. The runs at 1:16 and 1:46 were the only times where he got some solid speed. And of course, the camera conveniently shows his back and not his hands at those moments. I was playing Yngwie licks 20 years ago note for note up to speed which is why they showed his back only at those moments. Cause they knew guitarists like me would spot it. I love BB King btw.
@@u.v.s.5583 BB could do that with the guitar behind his back, but he decides to play more "Grown up" music, for real men, not that 1000 notes per second bullshit, thats called Shred
Hahaha I’ve watched this so many times, but just noticed @1:44 ahaha! -he waits till he turns around, out of view!! Then he plays the main theme starts already a few notes in! Ahaha -I can’t explain why this is so enjoyable, hahaha
Anybody who followed BB back in the day knows... KNOWS... he used to bust out neoclassical shred licks between blues songs ALL THE TIME... don't doubt what you can't disprove :)
cant help it happen dude.. good musicians will never fix the tune of string in a very obvious way.. and will never do a STOP which making a hole on the body of the song
I don't know if you know this or not but if you shake the neck of the guitar it creates virtually the same effect. If you play guitar it's very cool and useful if you don't have a whammy bar but want that vibrato sometimes. Just thought I'd let you know!
I loved the way you mixed the images and the sound! Congratulations for your creativity! That would be great to see...unfortunately, it didn't happen. Maybe we'll see Yngwie playing some BB stuff one day. RIP BBKING!
🤣😂🤣😂 This right here is a good argument to justify the existence of the internet! Great job man, I can only imagine the pain in the ass to sync all of this!

Well, I almost could believe it. I saw BB in concert 3 times over 30 years. The second time I saw him was in the late 1980s in a small venue and in the middle of one song he threw off some very serious jazz licks with a lot more notes than he usually did and way out of the blues pentatonic. I was rather amazed. The guy could play a lot more than blues. Regardless, it was cool to see such a well-done video. I'd like to think it was real. RIP BB. I loved you man.
How many times did you see BB king play fast outside the scale like that? I'd like too see that.. Probably because I'm thinking bb king won't play something unless it belongs or fits perfect, like most guitarist 60 years ago. Because it's badass when they play like that. Except 'Derick Baily'(noise) playing early 60s plays acoustic like a kid scribbling crayons front of an audience actually moved by it.
Bill B., I know your comment is over a year old but… I saw BB several times. He was playing in Lima, Ohio maybe 40 years ago. The sound man couldn’t get the stage monitors right. BB was slightly upset and walked way off to the outside, back of the stage, just barely still in the lights. He kicked in some kick butt jazz licks for a couple of minutes. I was floored! He then returned to the mic and all was well and typical BB. The next day I read an interview in the newspaper. He apologized for “getting a little too far out”!!!! Unbelievable!!!
It took me a second to get my head round this one. It's a very convincing overdub of you- playing in the style of Yngwie by using his sound and technique (and a sort of tribute version to one of his tracks) to closely correspond to what BB basically happens to be doing. A Malmsteenian neo-classical rock equivalent of what BB King is actually playing- which is regular blues- by neatly matching approximate position and movement. All the fast recognisable stuff will mostly be done when the camera is off looking elsewhere. It's a winning idea. And oddly inspiring. Just turn down the volume of your chosen artist- pretend they are playing something written by you and by roughly mimicking their moves- you can whack out some totally new stuff. This vid reminds me of the one with Malmsteen in an instructional video where someone is impersonating him badly in the overdub- as if he's just playing garbage. Oh- there're no flies on me- but I wonder how many people will be/ have been utterly confused or taken in by this one. I'll think I'll have a little read.
Hello my dear neo classical bluesy friends ! 🎸🤘 can't answer to all the comments but be sure that I read ALL of them ! Much love to you ❤️! And keep the shred alive ! Ric
@@charlesbukowski7730 LOL... @jemfreak knows its a joke, his comment was a joke too! The chitlin circuit was a string of venues that were accepting of black musicians back in the 60's despite segregation, obviously BB never saw Yngwie playing there....
Truly one of the all time greats ...playing something from another all time great.. Up in heaven jamming together with other true greats that are up there.. RIP to BB King

😇🤣🤘🎸
WOW. I've followed BB King for awhile... I didn't think he could play anything besides the classic American blues song book. Incredible.
İts a fake video
@@anewpage3428 I can beleive that. The camera was a rear of the band shot when the fast Malmsteen section was played.
@@anewpage3428 it is REAL ! please watch :-))
1:18 🤯 The horn section has no idea how to respond to guitar shredding like this.
Great video from a masterful, legendary guitarist!
The Rarest of Footages !
Thanks for uncovering this rarest marvel !
I'm not proud of how long it took me to be certain this wasn't genuine 😂 amazing work!
Why would anyone give this thumbs down. I had not idea BB could shred like that. Awesome
Those sudden open strings + tuning are so funny!
Amazing! So, like this Yngwie would sound if played at 1/10th of normal speed. Great!
Hello my dear neo classical bluesy friends ! 🎸🤘 can't answer to all the comments but be sure that I read ALL of them ! Much love to you ❤️!
And keep the shred alive !

Apparently RUclips removed the like I did in the first day you uploaded the video.
Liked again.
You are a genius
Idiot...Get a life...
thanks for the laugh....that was great!!
Holy shit.This seems so real,that i even questioned my existence !!!!
Same.
Haha, masterful fakery going on here :D
Best 2 mins of comedy I seen in a while!
When the backup singers were shown from behind I died
😆😆😆
Cracks me up, too 😂
Whoever made this I am proud of you !
I can't believe he is playing Malmsteen! Dammit, I never got to see BB so sad😔
Allegedly BB created this masterpiece, gave it to Yngwie and said to leave him off the credits. Long live the King!
🤣🤣🤣🤘🔥🎸
BB always talked about seeing Yngwie on the chitlin circuit back in the day. Nice to see him pay tribute to his main influence here.
Is a joke bro
@@charlesbukowski7730 What, you're saying this isn't real?!?! My world has been shattered.
@@MonkeyDolphin yeah bro I fell for it too
"Main influence" xD.
You killed me with it!!!
@@charlesbukowski7730 LOL... @jemfreak knows its a joke, his comment was a joke too! The chitlin circuit was a string of venues that were accepting of black musicians back in the 60's despite segregation, obviously BB never saw Yngwie playing there....
No fuccccking way. This is so great BB!!
Very nicely done, you had me believing for a while!
Same
0:50 PERFECT TIMING! Well done sir!
Had the privilege of see him perform twice..Truly a GIANT AMONG MEN..Ps thanks..never saw this before.
it´s funny and i guess bb king and malmsteen would like it.
BB King is dead bruh RIP
Brilliantly done mate! It sure made me laugh
Truly one of the all time greats ...playing something from another all time great.. Up in heaven jamming together with other true greats that are up there.. RIP to BB King
