What we should learn from B.B. King - 'The King Of Blues'

The fact that we are still talking about and dissecting the playing of B.B. King is so damn awesome. What a legend.

[@jamjar1977]

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

[@jal9974]

I saw BB just before he died. It was more like going to church than going to a concert, it was so spiritual. This discussion is a real tribute to BB, and just makes me like you even more!

[@eliasekstrom4110]

Like the minute before he died? Did he have any last words?

[@jedsparks3868]

B was my good friend & inspiration. Talking to him was just like his playing. Warm friendly , sincere with a great sense of humor. A rare person.

[@Kneithrabandofficial]

i never met him but my grandpa is tony coleman, so i heard a lot of stories about bb. my grandpa was devastated when he died. bb was like his second father.

[@nellyb1594]

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've seen BB twice, his playing was absolutely captivating, I actually found it very difficult to watch the show, because I continually found my self zoning off into the music, and I had a show to watch, a show that was absolutely beyond professional, I feel absolutely blessed to have seen him live.

[@jeffshaw7035]

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.

[@kerrym9254]

This is one of the best cover of B. B. King ever. Not because you covered information no one else has, but because of the respect you showed. Well done.

[@DavidDiMuzio]

Great video Paul. I watch your videos all the time, so time I left a comment. I particularly loved this one. Extremely well done. You're a very entertaining and thoughtful dude :)

[@renleblanc2993]

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.

[@LoneStarRKW]

Guitarists who fully utilise "silence" as a valid musical note. David Gilmour from Pink Floyd was a master of that among rock guitarists.

[@cclark3905]

I've seen Eric, I've seen Jeff, I've seen Jimmy Page, Stevie Ray, David Gilmour, Eddie V etc... And I got to see BB open for Gladys Knight and open for U2 back in 87 and only as I've gotten older have I really begun to appreciate his guitar playing...thank you for this...

[@KennyEvansUK]

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.

[@Brookzplayzmuzic]

Idk about what you mean when you say have to have been somewhere. If you mean you have to experience the blues emotionally to play them I dont think that's the case. Miles davis once said " my dad is rich and my momma was good looking and I still play the blues"..

[@chhatrajit]

You've inspired me brother. Cheers.

[@taura101]

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.

[@chrisdickson6649]

[@CyberDocUSA]

I was taught the call & response in music, particularly blues, mimicked birds in nature. Clapton said something about phrasing that stuck in my craw; to teach himself not to play too many notes, he would stop playing when he exhaled, then begin again during inhalation. Fun exercise!

[@the-LeoKnightus]

It all started with the church. Black churches used call and response hundreds of years before BB and Lucille.

[@CyberDocUSA]

@@the-LeoKnightus I suspect they learned this from observing & learning from nature as well. ☮

[@nanoprehistoric]

I watched BB's interview, and the most interesting part is he played it with feeling. So maybe his response to your video is "Damn you analyzed it very well, son. I didnt even think about it". Great video always, Paul. I enjoy it so much!

[@aung1406]

Lmao, no

[@davepilgrim5798]

He was sooo aware of what he was doing. Feeling comes later. You can cover up one BB song, or two, with just feeling, but he wrote hundreds of sons and made thousands of gigs, he rarely played exactly the same song. He was really aware of what was going on under his fingers.

[@a2ndopynyn]

BB thought about it so much that he didn't have to think about it any more. But that effortless mastery only comes after thousands of hours of intense effort.

[@tgipson20]

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.

[@zackmano]

I remember reading an interview with him when I was a kid, and he said he only knew a couple of chords, maybe an E and a B, if I remember correctly. Just blew my mind and taught me that raw talent and passion have very little to do with technical knowledge. 🤘💙

[@capyates]

I LOVE that your balanced ego allows you to suggest we learn from the master himself. Kudos to your humility. That's something you have well beyond BB King's abilities!

[@artificialtears]

I am learning a lot from you. I have been playing off and on for many years and feel stuck. I found myself guilty of beginner bad habits and enjoy how you explain the theory of his songs. Makes me want to learn new things and from other people, something I’ve always been reluctant to do. I’m slowly rekindling the interest I once had in playing thanks to you.

I can say I'm the biggest BB King fan in the world or pretty much close to it, I've seen him in concert many times I even taped the shows and still have some of the tapes. What I learned was his magic is in his vibrato and he had big hands big fingers strong and thin strings so the bending vibrato was so effortless it enabled him to flow

[@jimbo92107]

This is one of the best single guitar lessons I have ever seen. I can't wait to get to my guitar and work on a few BB riffs, to see if I can somehow transform my blah scales into something more interesting. Thank you, Paul. You are an inspiration.

[@stumblingjack2645]

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!

[@DevonVanNote]

Paul, you have perfect timing! I have an intro song I am recording for my EP out in May called "Riley" that is dedicated to him and his sound. He passed away on my birthday in 2015 so I wanted to show my respect. To me, incorporating BB's "slower" playing is so much harder than anything fast. It has been a challenge to capture that feel.

[@tedjohnson5210]

I watched an interview with King, he was explaining something and played a little riff as an example. The interviewer asked him to play it again, and he said “I don’t know what I just played exactly, I don’t like to play anything twice”. Master of improvisation.

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.

[@Dman85612]

When B.B.King was younger his lead playing was full of great licks that exceeded the "box" he has been stuffed into .He also used incredibly light strings that allowed for the micro bends and articulation that are tough to get accurate . Listen to L.A.Midnight or Live at the Regal some of his greatest playing....lest we also not forget...he played in horn keys the majority of the time, which arent so guitar player friendly.

[@robertwellington2616]

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.

[@arthostheheretic]

@@robertwellington2616 lighter gauge strings have clearer tone and often better sound :)

[@Bsdetectors]

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.

I will say this again just like I have before too that I found your videos very visually and musically pleasing but I always faced difficulty in understanding the theories at times. I attributed it to my early stage of the guitar journey and hoped that one day I would know just enough about music that I started to understand and enjoy all elements of your videos. And I am proud to say that today is that day. Many a KZbin channels and primarily you have guided me on this self realising journey of guitar and more importantly music.

He was definitley the KING of the blues. Again your insights are invaluable to players around the world. Well done and PLEASE keep them coming.
