Makes you realize what its all about - making music - not knowing ton of technique.
Not sure if you saw this but there are 2 more videos in this series: BB King II: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JXmc6CQoJw...feature=related and BB King 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btnh01M9ntQ...feature=related I especially like the second video. -------------------- "Three Chords & The Truth . . ."

I saw the video, not sure what the thread is about, I am amazed by BB king's phrasing, no need to play a million notes, just the right ones, I still have much to learn

OK my point was that, I think some of you here can play the guitar like this top notch guitar players. BB King he did admitted that he wasn’t that good of a player after all.

BB King he did admitted that he wasn’t that good of a player after all. I wouldn't really compare the newest Mercedes and some old Fiat 500. To be honest I enjoy more being driven in that old Fiat but it takes too long to reach the destination. What I mean by saying that is that you have thousands of similar modern technical players but BB King is one and only. If you play like BB king today, chances are that you will have a hard time to get recognised as you wouldn't present what the most of the guitar market wants today. If you play like Steve Vai you would somehow sound more interesting but you'll find yourself in the sea of similar players. So what's the solution? Fiat 500 has just been reproduced but with some great modern features integrated:) The biggest hit on the car market and one of the coolest little cars today. My advice would be "be modern but keep it simple and don't forget the roots". This is much closer to originality and success than going extreme to one side. I hope I understood your point about the scale thing so I came up with this kind of comparison. Trust me, nobody can copy BB King very well but Steve Vai is easy to copy with some practice and these two have nothing in comon to be compared. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

QUOTE (Rooks @ Nov 12 2008, 06:56 AM) And likes of B.B King are(was) not only technically original in his expression to get famous, but also has a special "mojo" that you just can't resist.. 100% agree QUOTE Being a fan of Steve Vai, I have also recognized; and admire his attitude when playing. He shows his heart and soul when playing and gets it to his fingers and it's a strong experience.. Great guitarists copying his playing masterfully can sound flat and boring to me because they just don't have that extra attitude .. agree as well
