"I love /gasp/ *lamp*" Don't ever change, Adrian. Wonderful content expertly presented. What more could we ask for? Best wishes for 2020 :)

[@virginiaharabin8176]

You have made me love *lamp as well.

[@mediumdun18]

What is special about your lessons is the right mix of technique , melody and theory. All too often KZbin presenters avoid theory ,loudly announcing that "there will be no boring tedious theory (snarling as they say that word). Instead they give us worthless 7-9, 10-12, 5-7 dots that could not be less helpful if you tried. Your mix is spot on and that's the reason I joined your Patreon.

[@marklatuso8910]

I can’t concentrate on the lesson, the new studio and the lamp have me in a trance!!

[@rocker8692]

I love how BB plays,its like hes having a communication, that's why I think hes the best.

[@alfredocovitto5949]

Sei bravissimo👏👏👍.sono un anziano tuo iscritto, mi rimane difficile seguirti xche'non capisco quello che dici.Si possono avere le Tab?,scusami e Grazie👍👍👋👋

[@gertjanboot5535]

Well Adrian , another excellent video of you Mate and very well painted as well , u r multitalented ;-) ,greetings from Gerrit Adriaan , Netherlands .

[@Steve-dk7ec]

Adrian.....the further you bend......the more you twist your neck to see the lamp. Do I need a lamp to hit these bends?

[@sheistcoff]

Listening to the rhythm track, sounds like 9th chords on the iv and v chords? Not too important, but the tab shows 7th chords. Maybe he said that somewhere and I missed it!

[@bruceeide5644]

I'm confused... most of the notes you are playing are not part of the bb box. What am I missing here?

[@aristevons]

Hey Bro Long time no see! Really like the new space😊 Much better than that little box room you used to have!

[@lamper2]

so...the B.B. BOX is 2 frets past the famous House or 4 note blues solo you see all over youtube?

[@RagggedTrouseredPhilanthropist]

Yeah, you take the first right after the Albert King box...

[@christinabacke9831]

Bending one and a half step, what size of string do you have? By the way, I love the lesson.

[@svorttsirhc1814]

Just show the box while you play otherwise it's just showing off.

[@josiahmanganyi5359]

Thank you a lot.Your lessons have improved my guitar playing!

[@johncharal1698]

Enjoy your lessons and sense of humour, Adrian.

[@seanandben]

Greetings from Ireland Andrew. As always, a very informative and useful lesson. Best wishes. :-)

[@johng2880]

Funny lookin 335 ya gots there lad.

[@freddycracium8548]

Great lesson and teacher, thank you sir!👀👍🤟

[@rpmblues7018]

Hey Brother, thank you for your lesson, I am 78 years old and still bending strings and chasing tone. Now that is a beautiful guitar, I do have a Gibson Tobacco Burst standard, but I really love your Les. I have played Fenders most of my playin years,since 1962/63 ,surf music in California's west coast. I first started with Jimmy Reed . Thanks again .

[@georgitoshev4018]

I’ll be very grateful, if you can put tab of this solo on your patreon page. Thank you for your time and efforts. Cheers

[@acpg]

The tab of my opening solo is there - just do a search in the posts section. Hope you enjoy learning it!

[@riverman6655]

It doesn't get clearer than this in the guitar lesson world! Well done ...great pace for a video lesson!

[@dustunferren]

Another awesome lesson Adrian! Love when you do blues tutorials. Keep it up, thanks!

[@charleslanphier8094]

The BB box bought BB baskets of biscuits

[@christopherlynch7862]

Hate to pull you up ...love your style but...Les is soft...short for Lester...yes I know there is some discussion on this but one of Gibson's marketing phrases is..."Les is more " !! Good luck

[@santoorsaadhak]

Which guitar do you play on?

[@daviddouglas7950]

Just a thought, since you mentioned about the patron page. Might be good to mention search for the videos by date. There is probably an easier way but that works best for me so far. If I'm just being dense, please enlighten me. Thanks Adrian! Dave in the Adirondacks 🤠

[@drewbow1357]

Any jam track to go with this lesson

[@mmccartney6579]

Gray is good...it matches my hair and beard. :)

[@hadeseye2297]

Funny fact. Lampa ( a like in ah in Sarah - lampah? ) in Polish stands for lamp. But also for valve amp. Wzmacniacz lampowy (lamp amplifier), or lampa for short. Guess that makes me a fan of lamps as well.

[@rhoelalvarez7208]

I finally found the channel i have been looking for.

[@cabroninc1]

FOR ALL THAT IS GOOD IN LIFE, make a lesson on Hollywood Nocturne by the ghastly ones. They are a very underrated surf rock band and this song is absolutely amazing. So please consider making a video on this song.👌🏼👌🏼🤘🤘👍👍

[@jeffreykahn5451]

Again, Adrian, thank you for an excellent video with a great blend of theory, tasty licks, humour and lightning. Your Les Paul looks and sounds fabulous...wish you would use it more. My opinion is it really does suit your expressive playing style. Please, more 12 bar blues if you can. You are appreciated. PS I wonder if you could tell us what guage strings you use?

[@glennlilley8608]

Way back in the mid 70s a spotty little apprentice found an old copy of some music paper, in it was a review of a gig featuring a young Eric Clapton, who of course the apprentice had heard of, one line stood out "he's as good as BB King " who? The rest, as they say, is history At the risk of kissing arse, I'm showing this lesson, because of your teaching skills, to my grandson I sound like I'm using my feet after you, keep up the good work

[@daviddouglas7950]

Yea, go ahead on Adrian! Sounds great, now that's a speed I can handle. Nice feel, excellent timing. Dave in the Adirondacks 🤠🎸

[@emmanuelleblanpain4115]

Thanks a lot for this video, i'm beginning to understand blues lastly ;-)

[@SSRT_JubyDuby8742]

Nice job on the new look studio.I think you missed a trick however, instead of the BB Box perhaps the solo from Jimmy Jones's Handyman might have been more appropriate. Take it easy maestro 😎🎸✅🔨

[@matthewcrich5951]

Another stellar lesson, Adrian. The studio revamp looks great. I have a burning question however. When you plan out your video tutorials, how do decide on which particular guitar do you pull from your quiver to instruct from? Is it the Tele? Is it the Les Paul? Perhaps the Gretsch?

[@mattanderson3067]

That was great bro! Sub'd! Killer tone too, man, obviously most of it is your fingers but what are you playing through?

[@TheAndyCzech]

love that lamp!

[@johnjustin8944]

In my opinion it is BB King style except you do it much better than he ever did! You are really good! I know you know that!

[@michaelpoggi8064]

You simplify the BB box for me. I've been waiting for someone to show me the way. A lot of other teachers are too quick. don't explain it well you're doing a great job thanks

[@kolchak357]

Bit of a necro post here, but I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed this lesson. Thank you

[@funday352]

I was figuring BB box.. watching many videos but this video answered my search

[@michaelwhalen7991]

Another great lesson which is much appreciated by this beginner/ intermediate. Thanks for giving use the breakdown and slow detailed solo with methods to use it in the 12 bar blues. I get so much out of your lessons each time I watch. Really good thanks !

[@roncallahan40]

What's the difference between bb box and extension on the Minor Pentatonix?

[@azerreza4770]

BB adds a sixth and a nine to the minor pentatonic.

[@billherbert4961]

Grey is very nice. So was red. Thanks for your lessons. Seriously great info.

[@ElyRiverBlues]

Nice phrasing!

[@Zion-18]

I love lamp. I love lamp!

[@lennylydian4589]

Brilliant lesson. You're the best, Adrian. Ireland can't get enough of you. Ok, well, me and three or four garage-band mates.

[@nico1001s]

grey is great

[@daviddouglas7950]

Welcome back Adrian! Good to see you amigo! Dave in the Adirondacks Like the grey, of course that's coming from a guy that still prefers film in the hands of someone like Edward Weston, but I digress.

[@why_the_etude_matters]

Great lesson.

[@MercurialToys]

I thought for sure you would pick your Fender Mustang to play BB.

[@lylewallace9022]

Hit it home chord to box . Knocked it out of the park. Thanks again

[@Ben_Mdws]

“Love lamp” lol

[@featherspreaderinc3146]

[@Stevesoffthecouch]

Thank you.

[@rosswilkinson1022]

Thanks for this video. I have watched a lot of them about the BB box but none so well explained as yours.

[@roncallahan40]

I love lamp!

[@boomerdell]

Best teacher with best acoustic panel color and best lamp. Triple hit.

[@4fretfingers528]

Adrian, can't seem to locate the tab on the BB Box video. I can get the backing track but do not see the tab.

[@boogieboxmusic4331]

Another great lesson Adrian.. many thanks..

[@seangirouard293]

What a great lesson...Many Thanks Adrian! The Studio looks great BTW

[@tomscotland]

Superb as usual, and of particular interest to Peter Green fans. Very Merry Go Round.

[@moogdome2562]

Love your new studio. Thank you so much for your tutorial.

LAMP

[@Dreyno]

60% of the time, it works every time 👍🏼

[@vincentleroux6014]

Hey Adrian, you could add some edge and mystic to the room with black lights and a lava lamp.... As always, another great lesson! Thanks.

[@Pedro72740]

Yesah the lamp makes the room pop. Great choice of colors. Home Depot rocks!

[@jax408]

I love the way you play the Blues ....Awesome Thank you

Love the new look for your studio. But you know, a new SG on that guitar rack would do wonders for the room! : )

Congratulations.

[@simplyneil2242]

Really love this lesson, thank you so much for sharing. I am a beginner and just wondered what the chord progression was in the background if you wanted to strum along?

[@kingstumble]

It's a 12 bar in A so the chords are A7, D7 and E7. Listen for the changes.

[@simplyneil2242]

@@kingstumble thanks so much 👍👍👍

[@dommccaffry3802]

Just listen to live at the regal several dozen times, it'll sink in. Good luck with the vibrato though !

[@martydibergi5228]

A school friend gave me the Regal album in 1966 and my head did a 360 met BB around 1972 no one around after a performance and he gave me 2 hours of chat time. Lovely man. I still have not heard a perfect match of his one note vibrato. He tried to explain to me why I could not replicate his style. I was too stupid to get it.

[@martydibergi5228]

@@dommccaffry3802 thanks. Equally big thrill in my life was hanging with the Hellecasters 25 years ago. Nicest guys, monster players if you're familiar with them. I got personal lessons from Will and Jerry. I could not stop shaking from being nervous. Jerry showed me how to correctly finger pick the Monkey's last train to Clarksville. Sadly Jerry incurred a stroke and cannot share his brilliance with us. Thanks Happy picking from Toronto.
