*Exclusive Videos, Tabs & Chord Sheets* Maybe my idealism _and_ socialistic tendencies are showing -- or, possibly, it's simply me being only one step away from being a homeless person -- but isn't one use of patrons so that they (the well-to-do folk) help cover the cost for everyone?

[@mattgray6587]

Great lesson!

BB was so good in phrasing and silence because he used all pauses to smile to all these girls in public ;)

Whenever he says “don’t do this type of solo” *I WISH I WAS GOOD ENOUGH TO DO THE BAD SOLOS*

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Not one of today‘s guitar heroes didn‘t start off with playing „bad solos“ at first. There will be a turning point soon enough. Depends on how much you want it. 😁

I'll be honest, at first I thought this would be just another guitar video with vague or unoriginal tips, but I was really impressed! While it's not necessarily anything groundbreaking in terms of soloing, this vid does a great job of breaking down the tips and providing really good concrete examples. Within seconds I had picked up my own guitar and was playing along.

[@chevyethridgechula2298]

I am a drummer who also likes guitars. The breathing method is important for playing the guitar. It is the same as a drum.I support you from Japan.

[@castleanthrax1833]

[@bernddorst6300]

A solo that's gonna touch you is a solo which sounds like human conversation. Do this in the frequencies of the human voice and phrase it like talking. Speed doesn't help, Just try to tell a story by playing your guitar.

[@slowhand5922]

Couldn't have say it better!!!

[@annyebei]

[@THECOSMONAUT100]

Bernd Dorst B.B. King once said something like this

[@duncan.5228]

A natural teacher. You get the message across superbly, and you can play. Thank you.

[@mikaellovkvist6292]

I wholeheartedly agree with that statement. And he has such passion and enthusiasm for teaching. It’s really beautiful and inspiring. And yet, at the same time, he’s such a great guitarist that part of me feels like ‘dang, I wish that he would tour and record records, also.’ (And maybe he does). He’s a great teacher, and a great player. Truer than true.

[@RandomChessTalk]

You are one of the best guitar teachers on KZbin. That is because you can understand, notice, differ, isolate, play and teach every little detail. True perfectionist you are sir, what a great opportunity to have you on KZbin. And over that, you have specific pleasant energy as a person

[@delvoniaquasbex5902]

'Specific pleasant energy'. THAT'S what my guitar playing's been lacking! No wonder the other guys in the band get all the girls.

[@jonathantony7242]

Kinda sounds like Robin Williams giving a lesson.

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

Great Players who use these principles 1. Start Simple: B.B. King 2. Phrasing: Billy Gibbons and David Gilmour 3. Dynamics: Buddy Guy and SRV 4. Vibrato: Gary Moore and Angus Young 5. Repetition: Mark Knopfler 6. Mix It Up: Wes Montgomery and Django Reinhardt

[@acoffeewithsatan]

Another notable master of repetition (in a good way) is Tony Iommi, most of his songs go around those iconic riffs, building up throughout the song.

[@Grants_jams]

Best at all of these? Derek trucks

[@nigelhoffmann]

That's crazy, I was thinking Mark knopfler when he was playing the repetition part.

[@finlaybalfour1064]

Good list: to get that classic Knopfler repetition, have a listen to the "Telegraph Road" solo

[@jamesfalconi8533]

Santana is the king of repetition, I bet 90% of players could sing you his trade mark repeated licks in Oye Como Va or Black Magic Woman!

[@dccrank3557]

I just found this guy. 3 vids in a row. Wow.. A great player, and great tips! Thanks man!

[@chakijzftw]

same, he's very charismatic and lays everything out in an easy and understandable way. subbed instantly

I were just thinking of what word should I use to describe this lesson and you nailed it, thanks

[@N0sV0sEl3s]

First time I've ever seen anyone play BB King stuff and actually sound like him

[@Magnetron33]

That's what I thought from the 1st note

[@reineh3477]

Real good if you think of that he has single coils while B.B had humbuckers.

[@lafeeshmeister]

Amen. That sounded more like BB than almost anyone else who tries to play like him.

[@aeondream]

listen to Chris Cain

[@lafeeshmeister]

@@aeondream Great advice. Chris Cain is a superb blues player. But I think that Cain's version of BB King is slightly more "Cain" than it is "BB." In contrast, this video's BB impression is both less original (the player puts less of himself into it) and more accurate as a replica of BB's tone, rhythm, dynamics, and style.

[@sonarsinger]

I've been playing guitar for 35 years and you are an excellent teacher! The difference between a good and a great guitarist are many subtle nuances. These are great tips for aspiring guitarists. Subscribed

[@stefanbrowne]

Your editing and delivery of the lessons was outstanding. Will definitely be looking you up for more. Thanks

[@supercrackhead100]

the BB KIng solo is from "Worry, Worry, Worry" from "Live in the Cook County Jail". Possible BB's best playing. Excellent choice!

[@cuauhtemocmorisco3493]

Hell yeah!!!!

[@MrGoodknight2010]

where is cook county jail?

[@supercrackhead100]

Cook county is the county surrounding Chicago. BB playing a fee concert there for everyone locked up the and recorded an album of the performance. It might be the best blues album ever recorded. I know that’s a strong statement, but it’s also an awesome album.

[@MrGoodknight2010]

I was pulling your leg a little bit. Cook County is where I grew up. Chicago, not the jail!

[@supercrackhead100]

must have heard some great blues growing up there

[@williamseling7957]

I'm a good rhythm player, chord player, not great at solos. These 6 super simple tips changed the way I practice 100%! So simple but so effective! Thank u so much! Bbking was great example to really understand.

[@DaHoFaSho]

Dude, this was so insightful. I’ve been struggling trying to make the guitar sing the way I think it should. So it’s just nice to hear it explained, very well in fact, from a different perspective. Thank you!

Hii I am from India and just subscribed your channel. Well, I have been playing guitar for several years now. I am self-taught, so progress is slow naturally. This is one of the best soloing tips I have ever heard, not too much technical mumbo-jumbo short and solid. These are some of the conceptions I was lacking and I sounded very muddy. Thanks a lot brother. Looking forward for much more helpful stuff like this from you. Stay safe and healthy.

It comes with years of playing and some people just have that "soul" in their finger tips, it doesnt matter if they only hit a single note with no nuance, the note comes out inspired.
