The B.B.Box Explained + 3 Amazing B.B.King Licks

[@EricKl2706]

Thanks you so much. First time I hear someone explain that the BB Box is a mix of the 3rd shape of the minor pentatonic and 4th shape of major pentatonic. Very helpful!

[@johncitizen3361]

Great tutorial. Something people new to should know is the BB box works over backing tracks in a Major key. Many players will already know this but for the uninitiated you can use both major and minor pentatonic over songs in a major key but if the song is in a minor key you’ll want to stick to the minor pentatonic.

Excellent.. Your walk-through and explanation was so helpful in a way I could not find elsewhere. I was so confused before about the BB Box but this cleared it up... Thx.

[@oliverdeichmann]

Thank you for very much. I‘m glad I could help. Take care ✌️✌️

[@johnnytchung1762]

Thank you so much 🎸💪

[@StuartMealor]

Thanks Oliver - very helpful for a new guitar player 🙂

[@trombonemunroe]

At 3:34 if you listen closely, you'll hear that BB is actually bending a full minor 3rd from the high E to the G above it. Great analysis apart from that, though.

[@oliverdeichmann]

Yes you're right, thank you. Unfortunately I can't fix now.

[@neilgroves534]

Thanks for this lesson, what key are the licks in please?

[@visualatoz]

Great lesson Olive cheers 🍻

[@tozguitar]

Godd vid... I think Greeny played in both minor and major pentatnic boxes.

[@JorgeLuisColladotavarez]

Súper i love the way you play

[@timaddison707]

First time I've seen it described as Shape 3 of the minor combined with shape 4 of the major, bravo! very clear explanation.

[@oliverdeichmann]

I‘m happy the video was helpful. Take care

[@tatolito]

Thanks so much for that brilliant lesson !

[@haraldbrosch2487]

Verry good explain! I need always tabs too. I follow you...

[@chicane7929]

Great Lesson Thx for sharing 👏🏽🤙🏽

[@haroldh3863]

I wish to God the internet guitar experts would get their shit together on the right way to show the fret board ... low E on the top, high E on the bottom... that's how it's been done since the 1960s ...

[@visualatoz]

@ Oliver hope you can do BB King, trailer is gone some that will be excellent.

[@mikewhelan9561]

i'm tuned down a 1/2 step for that hendrix book behind you

[@joshuabrande2417]

Very clear explanation and easy to follow. Thank you.

[@hermannpallasch2153]

[@CesarGarcia-dv9yd]

Good afternoon. I'm Caesar and I live in Peru and I'm learning blues, I congratulate you for the very good video, I have a question 1. I have a Fat Fender One amplifier and I would like you to tell me what the configuration would be so that a blues sounds good. Thank you so much...I repeat, the videos are very good.

[@midrider335]

Great lesson and explanation! Oh, very sweet LP to boot as well!

[@oliverdeichmann]

Thank you :)

[@AussieDropBear]

Thank you for your explanation of BB's Box which helped consolidate my previous learning. The diagram cleared up what I could not quite understand previously.

[@oliverdeichmann]

I'm happy you like the video. Thanks you :)

[@RyanFixesCars]

Great video, earned my sub! ✌🏼

[@jwilkinson341]

excellent explaind to perfection

[@oliverdeichmann]

Thank you so much 🙏

Mr.335 on the rythm section¡

I wish depictions of the neck would be standardized. Some show the neck as if I were looking at you playing. (1st string on bottom of the picture) Others show it as if I were looking at myself playing (1string at the top of the picture) and still others show it upright.

[@TXBluesman-59]

Tablature and fretboard note charts are all the same, "T"rebel on "T"op, "B"ass on "B"ottom , and depicted with the nut on the left side of the image. The only vertical depiction I've seen is individual chord diagrams, and those are still noted exactly as they were depicted in 1967 in the Mel Bay book my old man gave me along with my first guitar. Perhaps you have encountered some reversed image videos shot with cell phones, as TAB, fretboard charts and standard music notation haven't changed in the almost 60 yrs I've been playing.

[@driger888]

can those licks be played over any chord in the progression?

[@oliverdeichmann]

Yes but some will sound better over the one chord and some over the four and five chord

[@driger888]

@@oliverdeichmann Thank you, enjoyed your video. I'll experiment with it and see what my ears tell me.

[@easyazpie9091]

7:05 ace

[@paulharris7083]

dude they are the third position in both major and minor pentonic. Why do you call the second one the forth of the major pentonic?

[@navalhistoryhub3748]

Amp settings wise treble mid and bass etc what settings should i be looking at? Or is it not that important?

[@oliverdeichmann]

All at noon and then you can play around with the gain. Thank you for watching :)

[@wretch1]

Would have preferred the actual solo as heard in the video

[@oliverdeichmann]

thanks for your comment

[@johnhardin8906]

This was perfect, until you said “And remember, practice at your own speed.” That made it Perfection Plus++! Thx!

[@oliverdeichmann]

Thank you John, I'm happy you like it. Take Care

[@PauloRicardo-fc4li]

bb box is nothing more than the 4th chord´s major penta + it´s flat 7 When played over the 1st chord, it sounds pretty much like a mixo mode, with the 1 - 9 - 11 - 5

[@billjackson6385]

Nice vid but tab to small for cell.

[@louisaccardi2268]

Oliver, turn down that reverb, it is way too much. You are playing the blues. Get more grit and and amp sound. B.B. King mainly used his amp sound, if he included reverb it was not noticeable in his playing. What you are doing with that reverb is just like using too much of a certain spice or herb in your food, it's all you can taste and destroys the flavor of the type of food you are cooking. Same principle in developing killer tone. B.B. King got his sound from a combination of his fingers and amp.

[@oliverdeichmann]

Thank you for your advise

[@MrAxholio]

The acoustics of your room are too reflective and you're talking over everybody's head. Don't talk - play.

[@paulharris7083]

check his theory out it is also wrong, they are both the third position in the minor and major. the second one is not the forth in the major scale its the third
