  • Hi GMC, and welcome to another lesson of mine that is in the style of BB King! :)

    I had a chance to play around a bit with Gibson ES335, and since BB King used similar instrument, I used to opportunity to create another solo as a tribute to this great guitar legend.

    This track is inspired by the song "Key to the Highway". It's an 8 bar blues with mostly major chords. So the focus in this blues lesson will mostly be on something that beginner players tend to practice less - major scale soloing. We will also use minor scale to create a nice balance and keep things interesting.

    Have fun with the blues! :)
