Blues meets neoclassical shred in this crazy mash up of guitar legends!

Here we have some of the finest, classic blues licks from one of greatest bluesman in the world. The one and only Mr. B.B.King. Phrasing of this man is legendary, and you can really hear his soul and heart in his playing and singing.

Two rounds of 8 bar blues solo with ultimate BB King licks and tricks. We will cover techniques needed to achieve BB King style, but also some very cool licks needed for any blues player. Inspired by "Key to the highway" song.

We will cover the solo in style of "The 3 Kings of the blues". These are: BB King, Albert King, and Freddy King.

How to use the B.B. King box to jump start your licks, and how to break out of it and explore some other improvisational avenues. This will not only help to expand your musical palette, but also enable you play in the style of B.B. King in a more elaborate, compelling and three dimensional way!

A song in the style of Albert King

In this lesson we look at another King of Chicago, Albert King!

Bluesy licks, some sweep, hammers-pulls and staccato. Challenging wide streches with your right hand. The interesting part is the lick involving the so called "Hirajoshi" scale used a lot by Marty Friedman and Jason Becker.
