This lesson is part of a new blues artist series that I’m starting where each lesson will cover a particular blues artist and I’ll explain how they play some of their signature guitar licks. This lesson focuses on Mr. Beale Street Blues Boy himself - B.B. King. Although B.B. has never been considered an extremely technical player, his phrasing and emotion that he uses when he plays in like no other. Even non guitar players can identify a B.B. guitar lick because of his unique vibrato. I put together a handful of my favorite BB King signature licks in this lesson. I hope that you find this useful.


@That long lost train - wow, my apologies for missing your question and not responding earlier. This is in the key of A

Wow, beautifully played! I’m just starting playing solo blues and this is one of the best online tutorials I’ve found. Thank you so much for your effort and please keep the lessons coming - probably more of BB’s style

I agree w/ wolf. I know you’ve been doing rhythm lessons lately, but another BB lesson would be great.
Great site tho, thanks a lot!
Ok, this one is for you wolf and robbd7 - I put together a deeper look at how BB King plays a solo. - B.B. King Guitar Solo Lesson

Just discovered your site. Saw BB last night so am delving into his style.
I am having problems however with timing. Could you do a lesson (unless I haven’t yet found it) on timing. How you count out the beat and come in with the licks at the right moment. Thanks so much. Tom

thank you man good lesson y used and i try to make a good sound , but bb is bb.


Great lesson, it took a little time, but got it fine…..keep up the good work…..........

Hi Brian,
The assets are getting redirected to a site where they are no longer available. Request you to check.
Best,
Amer
I am Brazilian I understand very little what you say in the video lessons, but incredibly evolved much later that I began to participate in your channel, it is a sign that you have to do to teach, I love the guitar love rock and blues and I’m very grateful for the help you are giving lovers of the instrument later want to ask you some questions, but for now is my thanks.
Thanks, health and strength so that you continue with this magnificent work.

Hi Brian, first of all many thanks for this site which is superb in all respects. I am ultimately very jealous of anyone who can make a guitar sing the way you do.
One thing which always seems to be missing from guitar lessons is how you have the guitar and amp set up to get the beautiful tones such as can be heard here in this BB lesson. I have the same guitar, a great amp and more effects boxes than I truly know what to do with but still can never seem to get the “sound” quite right. It would be fantastic to know exactly how you are set up for each lesson.
Many thanks if you can oblige and thanks anyway for this site.

greetings from Macedonia!!
have a question…how did u set the amp to sound like that?
