One of the greatest videos I ever saw was BB King on stage with Gary moore playing the thrill has gone. They improvised a massive instrumental that was just a complete masterpiece. You see guitarists that can wail,shred and all sorts of stuff ( which is amazing ) but then BB just walks on stage and plays one note and the crowd would go nuts. Amazing

I'm a new guitar player in my late 50's. I knew of but didn't listen to B.B. King much in my younger days instead finding blues-based rock very appealing - AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, the Stones etc. Now I find myself going to back many of the predecessors of these blues-based hard rock bands and finding so much artistry and blues magic. Thank you Paul for this video, it makes stepping into this new guitar hobby so much richer.

I just found it about 4 or 5 days ago. Not sure how something/someone like this slid under my radar for so long. Lovely lovely channel in every aspect. It's the way he breaks things down and then proceeds to show you, very simply, exactly what he means. It's unbelievably helpful and ALWAYS makes you think, "OH!! I can do that!" Especially someone like me that has taught himself and been stuck when it comes to music theory. I get what the scales are, and how play like a jazz or blues guitarist. Just figured that stuff out through jam sessions or by messing around. So these type of videos are my way of learning the actual basics behind music theory. The 'WHY' behind the 'HOW' it works. He's been an unbelievable help .

I think BB King and Albert King's greatest strenght was restraint - they are some of the only players that never overplay and even the best current guitarists who try and copy simply can't lock into that mindset. With BB the fact that he was such an incredible singer really is at the core of his playing. Great lesson.

10:05 You hit this nail on the head: BB King is the blues guitar player he is because he is the blues singer he is. If you're trying to play BB just by copying/appropriating his guitar WITHOUT singing the Blues good luck. All the best blues players are blues vocalists. All the worst blues players don't sing. The adage "if you can't sing it you can't play it" applies here. Put the other way, start singing the Blues if you want to seriously play like any blues hero and make the most of the tips offered in this excellent video.

As a guitarist of some 40 odd years I found this informative and really well put together and presented. Everything you said was spot on and I'm sure budding blues players will get much from this breakdown. The only thing I would add is that blues is all about the feel, it came from the feel, it lives in the feel, You have to get into that mindset to really make the blues work for you. You have to have been somewhere and for the blues to represent what you saw, heard, tasted and felt when you were there. Then you bring it home and tell that story yourself. Loved this film, thank you.

I’m a blues fanatic and it took me a long time to appreciate BB. I always like more acoustic and country blues stuff and it took me a little longer to get into the more Chicago style electrified sounds and jump blues stuff. But the more I learn about improvisation the more I realize why this man was such a huge entity in blues for so long.

In case someone’s looking for to the part in your vid (approx. 5:30-5:35) where you’re referring to the solo of BB’s “To know you is to love you” at 2:40 of that song, you have to search for the (3:53 short) single version, for example on the 1998 “The greatest hits” album … You won’t find it in the longer versions of that song… Just a little help 😉‘cause it took me a little while to find the right one. But keep up the good work Paul. Seems like a lot of people like your contributions to make playing guitar easier, learning faster (which is always inspiring) and more understandable. At least I do. There’s a lot of channels out the which are doing the same thing like you do, but I like the way you explain the “why-factor” in the lessons. It’s a little dangerous what I’m saying know, but it’s not criticising anyone ’cause I watch and love most of ‘em. But, and it’s a raw categorisation: lot of American channels are more “okay, let’s do this thing”, with a lot of enthusiasm but sometimes lacking interesting information to understand the bigger thing (I like ev’ryone to prove me wrong with the names of the tutor, I think I’m still not too old to learn 😉). When you hop from Britain to The Netherlands (where Paul is “from”), which each step, it gives a little more rest and pease in the explanation like I mentioned above. Keep on doing that! Everybody, have fun!

Re light strings. I wish someone would’ve mentioned it when I started as a kid. Your hand lasts longer. Re bending. Stiff, thicker strings that everyone thinks gives a better sound also can destroy some people’s hands. I’m suffering with my thumb tbh. And people that make fun can just listen to Billy Gibbons. He uses 7 gauge strings. He sounds just fine. His hands are still working from what I can tell and I actually buy his signature strings.

There is an interview lesson where BB said he uses 10 gage strings. Also, Gibbons said he doesn’t play acoustic because they give him a lot of trouble. Only thing that makes sense to go super light gage strings is hand issues. Don’t worry page used 8s and Hendrix used 9s tuned down. Terry Kath used 8s and so did Jeff Beck in the early days.

Attempting to play with B.B. King was how I started to learn to play lead guitar. I had several albums (yes, vinyl, 50 years ago) and wore them all out. I loved his staccato style followed by a pause (while the strings rang) then launching in to another phrase. It gave me time to get my bearings. B.B. King, Frank Zappa and George Harrison all left their amazing marks on music. I miss them all very much.

Phrasing is something that doesn't get discussed nearly enough in guitar videos. Great job! Subbed.

I saw B.B. King play in 1998. I got to go to Rick Jame's 50th birthday party and B.B. King played all night. It was incredible.

Heard this in an interview with Tommy Shannon & Chris Layton after SRV had passed away: One time BB was actually the opening act for SRV. Stevie did not know abt it when he showed up for the gig. Baffled, SRV asks Tommy & Chris "Is that BB? What is he doing here?" They replied "He's opening for you, man". SRV was like "ooooh, no no no. WE shud be opening for him. BB cannot open for us. Never." So, even SRV looked up to BB.

Full confession: I’ve been watching your videos like crazy, Paul. You’re an amazing guitarist and teacher! Thank you for this video. I was privileged enough to see B.B. King play in Indiana about 7 years ago and he was definitely declining physically, but his playing was still great and still that “less is more” philosophy that we’ve come to love. I’m grateful that I got to see him before he passed! Thank you for working to continue his legacy!
