His playing has always been so deceptive… Sounds like it’s so easy a beginner can do it, but when you try it it’s easy to fall flat on your face. Great lesson, David!
David, i found that last "jazzy" lick most unusual and interesting...going to incorporate that into my BB King licks collection....:-)....thanks...great video...as ever... and no...i'm glad i wasn't there at the concert in Sing sing in 1972 at the time......:-D......not a "desirable" residence...even then....
Awesome playing as usual!! Could you do some licks from Mick Taylor while he was in The Rolling Stones or George Harrison. Or another cool one idea for you. you would be to play cool riffs from a certain album. Pick any album and teach a few licks off that specific album. Thanks for all you do!!
Got to see BB on tour with robert cray and jimmy Vaughn opening...during his set i noticed robert and jimmy off stage shaking their heads in awe at just how good he was!
For a lack of better word, you are such a wonderful story teller; inspite of being so rare passionate guitar player/teacher in You tube. I stumbled into one of your videos a while back (mozart with tabs) and lessons on Randy Rhoads. As a kid, I grew up in boarding school ; where my teachers, mentors, seniors, n all were bullies, and physically/mentally abusive nazi scums. I was a music fan, And the only refuge I found was in listening/writing essays on rock/metal . I haD a teacher with whom I had a guitar lesson for like six months. He was like an guardian angel . He was so similar to you in regards with passion/influences/n all ( JS Bach, Randy Rhoads, Eric Johnson, Iron Maiden). But after few months of lessons, he disappeared for ever. After 20 plus years, his memories still linger on. You remind me of him, man. Sorry, English is not my first language and , even though I don't understand all the technicality of theories, sherds n all . But, your so cool man. Peace be you ..Respect 🙏🙏
Tip of the hat for name-checking the prolific filmmaker David Hoffman, who made the Sing-Sing doc. However, when I’ve watched the prison concert film, I’ve never said, “Gee, I wish I could’ve been there.”
gotta be honest, can't stand blues. but I can definitely see why some people gravitate to it. there was a whole dimension behind this man phrasing contained subtly on apparent simplicity. great video as always David.
It looks like BB Kings Box#4 is adding in the 2nd, major3rd, 4th, 6th? Any Tracy Grijalva/ Tracy G lick solo lesson? he was in a lot of bands in the 80s and 90s to get solo licks from
One of the three Kings. How appropriate for the holidays. BB says more with one note than Malmsteen says with a hundred. The father of so many legends. Who hasn't stolen from him, much like Chuck Berry. One of the building blocks of the blues as well as rock & roll. It's a shame how these guys were treated. Most never made any money til the 70's. Muddy, Albert, Freddie, Chuck and many, many others (to many to mention here) were taken advantage of back in the day. Basically the first 60 years of the 20th century and then some. Great lesson on one of the best blues players to ever walk the earth. You continue to impress.Thank you Mr.Brewster.
You have a point, Derek, especially when it comes to other guitarists, but Yngwie is also a complete master of playing "one note" and making it totally sing!
@@voronOsphere I was not trying to slam Yngwie as some may think. He's a great player, a virtuoso if you will. I've seen him live a few times and have some of his CDs as well. Absolutely an amazing player. I just think BB is more emotive. BB doesn't "shred", obviously two totally different styles. No slam intended. Just expressing "my opinion". Appreciate your comment.
@@deke61sg No worries and I totally understand the sentiment of your original comment. For me, there are tons of virtuosos that are amazing, yet don't float my boat like Yngwie or B B King do. And I love hearing opinions of any sort.
I just love your lessons. I play along with you and later I notice I always incorporate a few things from the lesson and my playing improves. You have an excellent teaching method.

Great lesson, David!
I read an interview where BB said he listened to Charlie Christian and Django when he was learning.
Great historical background information about B B King and the show where these licks came from! Please, keep those historical intros coming!

Thanks for finding these gems and breaking 'em down for us, David!
nice job..would love to see you do a few more "foundation" blues players...maybe Peter Green could make your list.
B.B. doesn't get enough credit for his soulful and authoritative singing. Lucille and he were the perfect duo. 🎸🎤
Great point! And he nailed the singing and playing LIVE every time!
Well, he was introduced as "the world's greatest blues singer" on 'Live at The Regal', but I agree, during the 60s and 70s his voice was exemplary.
12:54 That Bonus Jazzy B B King Lick is PRIMO stuff!!!!! Thanks, again, David!

Thank you David for your insight into the great B.B. Kings solo guitar style, a real Great American Blues Legend. RIP.
This channel is perfect for guitar nerds. I'm looking forward to what's next. Hopefully some Otis Rush or maybe Magic Sam.

That was great!, that last lick especially. While your bluesing out, may I suggest a Hubert Sumlin lick video (if you haven't done one)

B B King was so unique! Thanks for this great Lesson, David!!!!
BB said he loved Wes Montgomery's playing specifically, but it's fair to take your pick of jazz guitarists from the 30's to the 60's.
he also adored Charlie Christian
I have the theory that the fast one finger vibrato BB had, came from Django besides blues harp players.
Thank you so much for doing these lessons
Uncle Riley was a trip
Awesome video!! Thanks for taking the time to honor one of the greats
saw him once , back in 69 , he sure could make Lucille sing !
I saw BB King live several times at the Nice Jazz Festival. As a kid, I hated Jazz but BB’s playing just spoke to me.
BB King. Yngwie Malmsteen. Who has the better vibrato?
Both of their vibratos are beautiful!
Both BB and Yngwie are the gold standard for vibrato as far as I’m concerned.
SRV! Also, Tony Iommi has awesome vibrato with his pinky😳
Love and miss B.B. King. 😔
gotta be honest, can't stand blues. but I can definitely see why some people gravitate to it. there was a whole dimension behind this man phrasing contained subtly on apparent simplicity. great video as always David.
all blues and rock guitarists go back to guys like BB....man...what's not to like.....??
@@stratman9449 hey he was a beast, like many blues players. I just can't get into it. matter of tastes mate. nothing wrong with the genre.
Another good lesson Dave, I enjoyed this one. I'd like to see a George Benson lesson, I think that would be cool. Thanks.
Great lesson Dave... You got the feel , you found the sound. 👍
Awesome. Thanks David!
DY-NO-MITE!
Really cool 😎 lesson thank you 🙏🏻
I believe BB cited Lonnie Johnson as an influence. You can definitely hear it if you look him up
B.B. King was influenced by the New Orleans jazz scene, and his first band played tunes influenced by Count Basie.
Thanks ! Very interesting.
Brilliant! Thanks.
Great lesson, thank you!
For me your LNL re the option in town. Grate Job Man you re the best
Thanks Dave.

@@deke61sg We can all agree, though..... B B is the better vocalist!
@@voronOsphere Just think how many monster players there are in Classical, Jazz, Blues, Rock, Metal and many other genres. Tons is right.
BB King->GOAT - the end
I just love your lessons. I play along with you and later I notice I always incorporate a few things from the lesson and my playing improves. You have an excellent teaching method.
Thanks..that was great
Bro, your vibrato is close! Very close! Kudos. Thanks for the lesson.
I play delta blues fingerstyle and i these riffs in .....much appreciated
Thanks Dave, this stuff is very important.
Wish I had my guitar in front of me instead of watching this at work
