        Hello friends,

        Very B.B. King this one.

        Some great phrasing and tone from what he’s describing as a relatively cheap and unknown guitar in the demo.

        Just goes to show what can be done with something mediocre in the right hands.

        Anyway, loads of fun with this I hope you enjoy my version with a more expensive guitar and a hella lot more mediocre fingers.

        Thanks for watching.

        Liam.

          The King one of my favourites. Well done, your phrasing is very BB King like.

            Liam,

            Excellent demo, man that LP is just ooozing TONE. Wish it were a little longer. Really liked this one.

                You should expand that, Liam. I had loads of fun listening to it, but the joy ends to early. Your „mediocre fingers“ does some really fine playing.

                Take the chance to meet your AM friends on Zoom.
                The next Meetup will take place on May 31

                There will be a detailed announcement here in the forum in the next days..

                I look forward to meet you.

                  Impressed Liam because I did this one a way back and sounded pretty rubbish. In fact, I would go so far as to say you sound as good as Brian on this one. Don’t underrate your fingers – I wish I could do vibrato that way you managed to do in this one.

                    Well, Liam, your LP is wonderful, but I would say that also your fingers was excellent in playing that piece! Great BB King’s vibes!

                      Nice playing Liam! That tone you got was perfect for this one. I went back to that lesson and it felt good to get back under my fingers again. Thanks for sharing.

                        Ha Liam! Love your preamble description but don’t undersell yourself. Not familiar with this one but looked accurately played, great feel and tone on display. We may not all be BBs but we’ll have a lot of fun trying. Keep on pickin’ and all the best! 🥸🎸🥸
