April 2022 Challenge-Rich F EP435

[Rich F]

Hi all…

Here is my challenge response… I chose EP435, playing the BB King A major and A minor pentatonic zones as taught by Brian in that lesson. I improvised over the slow version of the jam track there. I stayed mainly in the major pentatonic, as I thought that the minor did not sound so good.

Hope you like it!

Great submission.
Keep on picking.
Well done.

Hi Rich:

You have great taste in the pieces you pick to play. This is a great BB song and your playing is spot on. Very cool lead lines. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers, Tom

Great choice and super playing Rich. BB made “simple” stuff sound sooo good! I got to see him play in Denver – awesome stuff. B

You and I chose the same backing track. I think you’re right. I mixed in some minor notes but mostly had a major flavour. Well done, Rich.

Let your ear guide you and you are able to create some sweet music, Rich. Your improvisation is the evidence. So well constructed with a musical theme in it, that befriends with the listener. Welldone!

Take the chance to meet your AM friends on Zoom
The next Meetup is expected to take place in November 2025

There will be a detailed announcement here in the forum in good time.

I look forward to meet you.

Nice groove and love those bends, wonderful submission.

[Rich F]

Thank you all for listening, and for your wonderfully encouraging comments! As you all so rightly say: BB King was the master, a legend, and an inspiration to us all!

Best wishes,

Rich.

[Garry]

Well played Rich. Great choice of backing track and yes I reckon the major pentatonic suit this track best. Some nice phrasing here and just love your slides down the neck. All the best! 🥸🎸🥸

[WBlues]

I think this is your best submission to date. Stay tuned.

Play guitar just like you live; don't get bogged down in theory, it's just a tool without feeling.
