          I attempted this lesson about a year or more ago, I found the timing a bit of a pig to get right.
          I’m liking the tone you get from your strat, it’s very distinctive in a haunting way.Which amp and pedal set up are you using?.

              THx guys

              Billy, on this one i used my Fender Twin with Delay and Overdrive.
              Of coarse im using the Fender Twin awsome reverb. Thats about it.

                Andre,
                You’re very productive – so many postings. Especially liked your killer vibrato on this one.
                Must go back and find my inner B.B.

                    Hi Andre,

                    Loving this! Brilliant rendition of one of my favourite lessons!

                    I love Brian’s BB King lessons, and you really do it justice! Brilliant tone, and great playing! Just listening to this before going to bed, and your playing has really relaxed me. Going to bed very happy! Thanks!

                    Cheers,

                    Rich F.

                      If you were my neighbor I’d be yelling at you to turn it up so I can hear it, too.

                      Very nice tone, and vibrato.

                            Like your vibrato. Especially because
                            i have a little problem with it at the moment.

                              Think the vibrato is a question of feeling, i dont really think about it.
                              It just come as i feel the song.

                                  This was very nice, Andre. Played with right touch.
