I enjoyed watching Brian explaining BBKing style which is awesome,, one thing I like to aid/add is for those not well rehearsed in tuning strings..especially LesPauls like my Standard..is stretching the strings before tuning.. why I think it is critical mentioning stretching strings?
you will be bending a lot of BB king stuff.. how do I know when my strings are stretched is after an initial hand stretch pulling slightly up on each string,, than tune with an electric tuner.. play practice bends.. check with a tuner again.. repeat until the strings stay in tune after the stretching.
Some guitars need more string stretching than others because of the bridge and headstock design
enjoy, i have to sign out will get on this latest ep 339 later today!
