How to play The Thrill Is Gone on guitar | BB King Guitar Lesson

[@robsan52]

I was a typical teen in the 60's. We were all into the 'gunsligers' Lee, Page, Winters but I was lucky enough to have a couple friends that were jazz guitarists. I was trying to understand what Joe was telling me about the importance of quiet spaces or empty space in a painting. He was getting a bit frustrated with his dolt of a friend. Finally he said 'really get into B. B. King's stuff' and you'll understand. He was absolutely right and I learned so much more about music and loved it all the more from doing that (and got to see 'The Man' himself a couple times). RIP B.B. and thank you.

You've got a gift. Lessons usually suck but your style and cadence are very good.

[@redbandmedia79]

Those chords sound lovely Justin. That's my weekend practice sorted, cheers mate!

[@RickDanner]

nice not many people play the #5 correct they play a 9th or 7th chord when it is a maj7 good job

[@phillipcarter7969]

I love the blues. This is awesome

[@laszlofulop8066]

Hi, Justin. It was a great tribute to B.B. King. R.I.P.

[@Shuckmagnet]

Thanks Justin :)

[@markrodrigue6768]

Saw B.B. in Portland, ME. Awesome show!!! Does this song real well!!! Guitar is my fav instrument, I guess.

[@cat416ify]

Wow another awesome lesson. Thanks man for unlocking the power of music.

[@sylviewheeler6237]

Gréât gréât lesson as always !!!!! Thanks so much !!!!

[@arthurmee]

Thanks Justin, just what I was looking for. Been looking at varieties of minor blues progressions recently.

[@antigoti]

Great Great Great brother, you have another fan and subscriber. Keep it up!

[@joeminnes4950]

Fantastic lesson, I love the groove and I actually got it right after a few attempts playing along with. Thanks

[@allandyer9391]

I like your teaching the guitar

[@captainbrianwilkinson7723]

Keep it simple stay in the groove....I would agree justin :-)

[@surf7642]

I’m trying to mix licks in while playing the chords and singing. I can do that a little, but would love to learn more licks that i could fit in. To me, this is my goal on many tunes (sing plus rhythm plus riffs-just me and a guitar-no looper or anything).

[@bladesaint21mr]

Thank you Justin..And sentiments well put.

[@threadbear]

Nice lesson, Justin. As always. Thanks.

[@markusantonious8192]

"Happy that it happened, not sad that it's over".... You've got a quotable there Justin.. :)

[@roblogosz1]

v good lesson - heart of it - for me- will be learning that snap on the 2 & 4....& now to learn rudimentary version of solo

[@jameschristianguitar2934]

Thanks, Justin, love your lessons!

[@abhiramgollapudi3930]

think you prefer the other method of playing the gmaj7 because of the last b note ringing out clearly, reestablishing the tonality of the song

[@jimmyburn1059]

''make sure it's groovy before it gets fancy'' - Justin Sandercoe. Words to live by haha!

[@aptelbruno8316]

Thank you I love it all. Merci !

[@Geco-Bro]

hi Justin congrats for your Guitar . on my semiacustic I m using 011 gauge strings cause I love jazz smooth sound but I love your 010 sound too very nice for funky or bluesy groove.

[@joejazz67]

great stuff RIP BB King

[@downhill240]

[@Highflyerone]

Good lesson Justin.its also a great way to practice chords and strumming

[@hotlevel4]

thank you

[@pipitore]

T Bone Walker beat nice Justin .

[@andrewbryan359]

Gorgeous guitar! Could you explain why you don't use the bass E string in the Em7 chord as it is an E note? Thanks.

[@alanhowell3646]

I would, it really fattens it up

[@Rockodona]

awesome!

[@doobiedoghousewilson]

Gmaj7 - nice.

[@johnsikora6043]

When you tune with the capo on, what notes do you tune too?

[@jjadriottt9073]

👍👏👏👏

[@SuvradipDasPhotographyOfficial]

justinguitar can you please tell me which scale this song is in ?

[@whosleptwiththesexmaschine1775]

could you please do slow dancing in a burning room by john mayer?

[@greenmanalishi6963]

could you use the same shape/ voice for f#7 for g major 7 instead of the one u use?

[@alanhowell3646]

No, the F#7 is a dominant 7 chord, the G major 7 is exactly what it says, a G major 7 chord. The difference being the 7th in a dominant chord is flattened a semitone, in a major 7th it’s not flattened so the fingering is not the same

[@TuTuBo1055]

please play your gonna miss me by BB king with tabs.

[@jeeleal5084]

that rythum guitar sounds like the same rythum guitar from hotel California by the eagles, could be just me lol

[@neseoztap]

🙇💗🌾

[@Josh-og9sv]

Anyone know what shaped that G7 is from the CAGED system?

[@bruce338]

It is the C form from the caged with the root on the B string lifted to make it a half tone lower or a major 7th.

[@alanhowell3646]

It’s a G Major7 not a G7 which is a dominant chord. It has a major 7th which is F# rather than F natural in G7. It comes from a C maj7 chord shape in the caged system

[@dhirajkhanna]

RIP \M/

[@squarenupe1753]

Great but should be in Am...Am7, Dm7, F7, Em7

[@terryClg]

Nope. Am is Claptons version, original is in key Bm. Learn by Nashville system and you can change to any key instantly. I ii iii IV V Vi Vii and the key the band played is usually dictated by the voice range of the lead singer

[@jmtrapp]

Wrong title. "After The Thrill is Gone" I believe is the title of an Eagles' song. But the instructions are wonderful! IMHO

[@andrewbryan359]

Sorry. Should have watched a bit more. It's ok to use it on this chord but not on others where E is not part of the chord. Cheers.

[@anon8577]

Marty plays it the actual way

[@SirDrinksAlot]

What kind of fucked up generation are we to see al these great artists go, BB King, Ben E King, Christopher Lee. A lot of the great artist of all time are dying during our youth. It's sad really.

[@regislassalle8808]

[@williamb4652]

[@JohnDoe-vx5su]

[@john-zw9rw]

Poo poo

[@haykgalstyan9814]

boring.

[@haykgalstyan9814]

adjective not interesting; tedious. - I've got a boring job in an office. synonyms: tedious, dull, monotonous, repetitive, unrelieved, unvaried, unimaginative, uneventful, characterless, featureless, colorless, lifeless, insipid, uninteresting, unexciting, uninspiring, unstimulating, uninvolving, unreadable, unwatchable, flat, bland, dry, stale, tired, banal...

[@haykgalstyan9814]

The opposite. But if you are really interested, I meant his personality, singing, style, etc... The desire to close the tab was strong, but I decided to leave something for those who wasn't able to get out...

[@Alohatribe]

Thanks for the lesson !!

[@tomaszszczegola]

Justin, thank you SO much for another fantastically informative and entertaining lesson! It's most appreciated.
