What's so frustratingly impressive about BB is that what he plays isn't particularly difficult, so you look at his tab and think I'll do that. But when I play it, it's so lacking something. BB king just makes every note so meaningful. His phrasing is perfect, every note is played as if it's the last note he will ever play

It's the pentatonic/blues scales. Improving with these scales is so much easier than you think. The pentatonic scale is applicable to songs in both minor and major keys, you just take the scale shape and move it around accordingly. Once you start understanding things like this, blues licks will come naturally to you, I promise. Most jam tracks on youtube have the scale diagram on them, so fire one up and noodle away. It'll help you out a lot more in the long run than just looking at tabs.
@Kallum Жыл бұрын
@@JadwinManuel Exactly. I never really learn licks played by guitarists in the past with tabs, i've practiced with pentatonic scales and backing tracks for nearly 2 years now almost every single day and i'm now able to improvise and play comfortably across the entire fretboard. Once improvisation becomes natural with the pentatonic it's so easy to learn all the modes too, and it opens a world of opportunities

I feel like BB was like "You're doin' good kid, but don't do me like that up here tonight." And John just felt like "I'm gonna rib ya, but never disrepect ya." And BB just took off after, you can see John's admiration and appreciation during BB's solos and BB looking on at John with looks of "you did you're homework and you understand the roots." Ya'll can be silent, I'll admit to quietly weeping at greatness being performed throughout.

You could see the age behind the guitars. Blues is a conversation, BB King is a wise experienced man...his words are slow, smooth, and clear. He's one of those speakers that doesn't have to speak loud for everyone to listen, people just know what he's about to say is good so they want to listen. While John Mayer is like a recent college graduate, he has a ton of highly technical knowledge and an expansive education and he's excited to share it with everyone so he speaks fast, almost tripping over his words. He has a lot to say and he tries to get it out in a single breath. They are both amazing musicians and its just interesting to see the difference in their styles.
@torduc223 жыл бұрын
I like to think BB King would have been very proud to see the "recent college graduate" grow up from the fast, intense, and technical "talker" to being a more nuanced, expressive, and even verbose at a time without being redundant "speaker" as he honed the art of conversing with his guitar by following Garcia's footstep with Dead and Co :D

He's a generational talent so yeah. At this point in time definitely considered one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Up there with all these guys. All thanks to his passion. He could have easily taken the pop route out after Gravity. Instead he remained true to his core passion. With that said, I want him to work on an album that is just him. Not meant for a commercial release but as a display of his talent and imagination as a musician.

John unpredictable? The nervous energy that surrounds him might seem unpredictable but actually when you listen to what he plays it's nothing out of the ordinary. He just overplays constantly without any interesting ideas. I don't think that's unpredictable, because anyone who is reasonably experienced with guitar knows it's the most common mistake people do when improvising. Don't get me wrong, I like John Mayer, but in this video he was kinda lame.

John knows right where he is. Many guys can play. Many can sing. Few know respect. It’s true. Been around live shows much of my life. The thing is is that John Mayer’s career is driven by gratitude. He’s a talent no doubt. But he’s genuinely cool and in the end that is part of what powers those that “make it”. I guess what I’m saying is that BB King is a legend for giving us a sound. Mayer pays homage and is grateful. He wants BB to see what he is capable of now. As a child might want to show off. It’s cool.
