I have heard of the B.B. Box before but this video and your playing made it more clear to me where to go and how to do it. Excellent stuff. It is also easy to see and hear that Eric Clapton and John Mayer have spent considerable time learning these notes and licks. And you are correct, B.B. was the king of bending.....and leaving space between the notes. His playing was always very tasteful and timeless. I saw him live twice and feel blessed to have seen him before he became ill. He was the king!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

I've watched this video a couple dozen times now and I'm really starting to feel like I can follow the chord changes and connect triads from other lessons to be able to play what I hear in my head. The real kicker was to stop thinking in minor pentatonic shapes which were super limiting and to start from the ground up with triads and harmonic rhythm (even though it was really tempting to fall back on muscle memory from playing shapes for years). Thank you so much for the lessons, I can't wait to keep learning and improving!

What's amazing about this video, other than Space 🖐, is that it shows you what not to do. Even though I'm miles away from being able to do what's being demonstrated, the simplification seems like a gestalt figure-ground flip. Same with the video on Triads. In neither video did I see what I expected to see. Yet I feel like the ideas alone have improved my playing by changing my focus. Thanks again. I never imagined that B.B. King was influenced by slide guitar.

I mastered Twinkle Twinkle Little Star using several inversions and progressions just by thinking about chords. As to BB king I think the key is nugget in your lesson is “space”. I’ve slowed down and created more space in between my phrasing and my soloing is more fun and enjoyable. One thing: I’d love a lesson / video comparing techniques between Albert King and BB King.

Great video and top 3 strings and "space" really nails the point to slow down and some space in your notes

Thank you Tomo. I really enjoyed your lesson. You encourage people to listen more than learning from sheet music or like so which is a good point. To learn to play good blues its good be homble for everything available for you. Looking forward to your internet lessons.

Amazing lesson. Never looked at BB style like this before and it makes perfect sense. Also kind of explains why his playing is instantly recognisable I guess

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks so much! Simplicity is very important! I teach more detail lessons at my Guitar Wisdom site. New Tomo Fujita USA WebSite tomojustfunky.com

[@terje6522]

Great lesson. Fun and pedagogically superb. I think BB himself went into gradually simplifying and refining his playing. ? Thanks for the lesson.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So nice to hear that! You're welcome! Thanks so much! Find it out yourself checking earlier BB King's playing... less bend and more T-Bone Walker ish playing. Then... you know?

Clifford Antone had a lot to do with popularizing the blues, particularly during the 80s & 90s. Thanks, Clifford! And thank you, Tomo, for this lesson.

[@taliesintenerelli8510]

This is pure gold!! Thank you.. could you do videos where you are looking at recordings of players like BB, stevie ray and Albert king and annalise their playing and talk us through how they are using the concepts you taught today?? That would be massively helpful. Thank you!!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're welcome! You mean.... play just like the record and explain what's going on? I made this video this morning around 8am!! I love teaching guitar!!!

I hear a lot of Anson Funderburgh in those licks. One of my all time favourite blues players!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks! We all love Anson Funderburge's shuffle feel! That's the blues language right there!!!

Of course his example of terrible playing sounded just like me. :)

Yup

Guilty as charged!

[@stevecrosby3678]

Yeah, my cheeks (facial) reddened a little. Better to be called out on it and try to improve, I guess. But he did get a little too into that. :) He's incredible!
