This is some of the most extraordinary playing by B.B. I’ve ever heard - despite the goofs/tuning issues. He was in another zone this night. I’ll definitely be watching this multiple times. What a genius. Thanks, B.B. 🙏
I am in my teen age Many of my friends are into pop music But for me blues hit different.... I wish you was alive today and I could watch you perform live somewhere 😭 Love you king 👑
this man was so cool, so soulful in his work and the reason the blues is in my life I’d be thrilled to play with a fraction of that skill but that may happen as I progress through practice and pray the Lord blesses me the skill to learn to play like this
I've been playing for over 30 years and I'm still humbled everytime I hear BB play. Anyone can play a blues scale but how many people can make you cry with one note?
Going through the comments, I thought his music put a tear in eye..it make me reflect on the trials and tribulations of life, ups and downs hardships and joys of the world and the people there of!!!!!!!
Yes, I watched BB in his earliest of days, playing on campus at Memphis State U. He would sit out on the lawn in the hot Delta sunshine, & play for hours, and hours.... we were so blessed! One roommate said, " who's this guy?" THATS BB KING! HE'LL BE REAL FAMOUS ONE DAY! Yes, true.... now I am 69 yrs old. My 35 yr old son just called and had purchased this album!! ❤ Imagine my Honor for the King! Watched his life come full circle for me now... Yes, The Legend! 😂 ....passed on to my son! so proud!
Every note that emanates from his body means absolutely everything. They don't come from a string on a fretboard, or his vocal chords, they come from his very soul.
This video is an upfront lesson on the power of using dynamics when soloing. The patience, the phrasing, the space, all leading to the build-up. Few Blues guitarists ever did it better than Mr. King; in fact, I would dare say that many of them probably learned it FROM HIM. Respect and RIP.
The BEST. Saw him 3x... got to meet him backstage 2x. I have a cassette of Mr. King and myself where he spoke some promotional lines for a Blues Radio show I had in the late 90's. Greatest thrill of my life meeting such a genuine, caring, talented man. THE BEST EVER.
............I LOVE THE WAY..........WYS BB."TESTIFY"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M self Quarantining with BB,OTIS,,JACKIE,SAM,ARETHA,ETTA,GLADYS AND THEM............... GOD and ya'll folks are pulling me through!Thanking God for blessings fulfilled and those yet to come.Always standing on God's faithfulness,trust,love and strength.Amen.Please take Rona seriously and practice social distancing and SIP,she aint playing,chile and I am mad,too honnnnnnniiiiiiiiiii.Thank you,Casey Grimes-Finley,Chicago,Illinois
Love how he handles the bad note he played at 0:48. "If you make a mistake, just make sure to make the same mistake twice and people will think it was intentionally".
If you have seen B.B. live, there are lots of clams. It doesn't matter unless you're a guitar purist. He put so much energy through his playing that minor errors did not affect the music at all. The vast majority of his playing was directly connected to his emotional state, and so few players can claim this, that minor technical errors just show how profound the vast majority of his playing was.
B.B. King never fails to play chord/note progression that makes me screw up my face. What a friggin BEAST he was when it came to blues. RIP to the King of Blues ❤️
Everything about this is superb. The opening solos, the singing and the horn arrangements. And B. B. was so great at dramatizing his songs with his facial expressions. He always gave us 100% heart and soul along with impeccable professionalism in every detail and that pure clear tone in both his singing and guitar.
The fans think the song is over before the lyrics even begin, I love blues music and the way BB King hits those long never ending notes just does it for me.. notes like a fortnight
I love BB King's philosophy on playing the guitar. He does not attempt to overwhelm his audience with a ton of notes, but instead picks the melodies and licks he wants to use extremely carefully and with "soul". Through his guitar, perhaps, we were allowed to glimpse into his personality.
9californication Our job as guitarists, and as musicians in general, is to let everyone know both the joy and pain that is in our souls. Every time we play, we should be telling our story with no words, allowing all who hear to look into our hearts and to become as possessed by our music as we are
Extremely carefully? I came here to to try to change my long standing opinion that he is overrated. My opinion remains the same. He is sloppy. While he was a good singer, his guitar skills sucked.
If you read any further on to this you will see where someone or should I say some idiot said that BB playing is extremely sloppy well I don't know who he is and I know that he sounds like he plays that's what I mean plays because so many of these guys got into the guitar or should I say that play the guitar that's all they do is play because if it wasn't for all this stuff Wawa feedback and everything else they wouldn't I don't like s*** because that's all they're doing is listening to garbage do it without all that equipment and all that junk and let's see how you sound then BB didn't use any of that stuff he was natural and as far as the way that he played and did his face to be honest when you a guitar picker like myself picking guitar is better then getting a good piece of ass that's why we frown and look ugly and we getting down play on BB play on my man
30 years here listening to this man sing and play, boy. He loved his brass band and he picked them well, this was yet another great band. The singing, well just absolutely unique. You can see in his face how much he enjoyed it. This man kept his music going until the very last minute, he probably died with Lucille by his bedside. From out here I have to say he lived a great life. If anything to touch so many people for so long. A legend of our time no doubt, I felt sad to hear of his death, even though I never knew him. RIP B.B.KIng!
BB is my hero, he loved the blues so much that his face evolved into this adorable joyous comic face. I m from Hong Hong Kong, all of my life uf anybody told me about racism. Heavy metal. I would say hey Hendrix, it was as if the guitar was morphed into his body. Yup. All the best would come and play with BB miss u so. Stevey Ray Vaughn was saw raw damn why were those ears of the best music all into drugs. It's such a shame, THEY COULD HAVE SO much more to offer.
I would say most if not all guitarists make faces when playing. It helps with the expression. With BB King he appears to be having a full on conversation, argument, singing a song etc. His voice is/was killer.
We lose another great legend. Rest in Peace my dear B.B King. So glad I got a chance to fall in love with your music before you passed away. The way you toured the continents and hit those blues notes till the age of 89, I don't think anyone can or ever will. You gave us Santana, John Mayer, Derek Trucks, Gary Clark jr. and so many more great artists. The world has so much to thank you for, we shall remember you. Now you can finally jam with SRV, Albert King and Mr. Collins again
Excellent band leader and I always watch his in character band directing. And sound quality in person was never a problem. Got to know some of the band members and meet BB twice. Real professionals. Saw him live in the 70's, 80's, 90's and 2000's. RIP BB.
For the first few minutes, I thought whats the big deal? Other players have had better tone. But then a subtle turn of the volume knob at 3:00 changes EVERYTHING... I used to read that BB could say a lot more with one note than other players could say in a thousand and they ain't kidding. Now I've witnessed it.
Before I listened to blues I never rated BB King, or most blues players for that matter. I used to think metal guitarists were the best, boy was I wrong. As I got older I learned to appreciate blues, and in my opinion feel is more important than technique or virtuosity. Even something as technical as jazz or classical is boring without the right feel. Jimi Hendrix once said "The blues is easy to play, but hard to feel" I think most people misinterpret what he said. Blues is easy to understand, makes sense to the ear, and usually follows the same chord pattern. It's easy to learn the notes you can play. But it's actually very hard to make it sound good, or impressive. That's the challenge when playing the blues and where feel comes in.
+Michael Holmes The big deal with the first 3 minutes - apart from it being some great playing with a perfectly appropriate tone - is that it sets you up for that big note at 3:00. Without the long slow build, there would be no build up of tension and anticipation, and no big drama and release when he hits us at 3:00. A device of which B was a master, of course.
@@L3ONARDO07 man this is story of my life, when I started my journey in the blues, this is what overwhelms me, man every time I listen to bb specially here the 60s stuff, he was at his peak, this makes me blue every time I listen to it, musically this is the purest and sweetest... man the words are so fragile to describe, man this is the blues.
Lyrics I've got a sweet little angel I love the way she spreads her wings Yes, got a sweet little angel I love the way she spread her wings Yes, when she spreads her wings around me, people I get so hot and everything You know, I ask my baby for a nickel And she gave me a twenty-dollar bill Oh yes, I asked my baby for a nickel And she gave me a twenty-dollar bill Well, you know I ask her for a little drink of liquer And she gave me a whiskey still Oh yeah, if my baby quit me Lord, I do believe I would die Oh yeah, if my baby should quit me Lord, I do believe I would die Lord, if you don't love me, little angel Please tell me the reason why
The older I get the more I appreciate B.B. He doesn't just play generic licks to fill space. He plays with intent and purpose. And his singing can melt stone.
Without doubt the finest blues guitarist..only a hand full of guitarists in my opinion have come close to him. He mixes that major and minor to perfection meaning every note. There are many technically brilliant guitarists but they don’t have the same feeling...
00:56- 1:02... cascading down to that 13th chord. what a genius. Impeccable ear, tone phrasing, such a sense of drama. Anyone better at tension and release??? ALWAYS gas the audience in the palm of his hand. You can hear a ton of B.B. in all the best blues guys. Monster Mike and JD Simo know what time it is!
His vibrato probably plays a large part, and during similar moments in other videos I've seen him adjust the volume/tone dials on Lucille. I'd like to learn exactly how he does it though, if someone knows more about the King's magic.
A guitarra é como se fosse parte dele,e as expressões faciais que ele faz...cara,Blues é a união do concreto e do abstrato.Corpo e alma na mesma frequência.E B.B king é a prova do que eu digo.
somebody please, post the year this tune was made...it's live ----man, I think late 60s...... this is why he was and remains the KING of blues guitar playing.
Everyone's talking about the well sustained note at 3:00 but I'm more gripped by that gorgeous turnaround lick at 0:55. Golly gosh goodness wow, I want that lick
if you want to figure out the phrasing, the notes are the 4th note of this scale (pentatonic) then a half step below the root note then the root note all on the higher octave obviously

Rest in Peace King!

No one ever has or ever will play the blues as well as BB King.
I am in my teen age
Many of my friends are into pop music
But for me blues hit different....
I wish you was alive today and I could watch you perform live somewhere 😭
Love you king 👑
Same, my classmates don't know anything about the blues
I hear you. I'm a teen myself and the music my friends listen to has got nothing on the power that is B.B. King
this man was so cool, so soulful in his work and the reason the blues is in my life I’d be thrilled to play with a fraction of that skill but that may happen as I progress through practice and pray the Lord blesses me the skill to learn to play like this
The singing is like a wall hitting you in the face, jesus christ, what a man. R.I.P B.B King
You can see every note on his face this is probably the best thing.
I've been playing for over 30 years and I'm still humbled everytime I hear BB play. Anyone can play a blues scale but how many people can make you cry with one note?
True, i am trying to learn that right now
Going through the comments, I thought his music put a tear in eye..it make me reflect on the trials and tribulations of life, ups and downs hardships and joys of the world and the people there of!!!!!!!
Yes, I watched BB in his earliest of days, playing on campus at Memphis State U. He would sit out on the lawn in the hot Delta sunshine, & play for hours, and hours.... we were so blessed!
One roommate said, " who's this guy?"
THATS BB KING! HE'LL BE REAL FAMOUS ONE DAY!
Yes, true.... now I am 69 yrs old. My 35 yr old son just called and had purchased this album!! ❤ Imagine my Honor for the King!

That's how I do it; might even play it more than twice for emphasis.
that was no mistake , it was all part of his plan to bafflelle you beginneers
There is no such thing as a bad note

B.B. King never fails to play chord/note progression that makes me screw up my face. What a friggin BEAST he was when it came to blues. RIP to the King of Blues ❤️
I love BB's "hype man" off to the side, throwing in a "yeah," every six seconds.
R.I.P. Mr. King. Thank you for all of the inspiration over all of these years.
Go 'head now. That's all right. Real music, real playing. Great performance, Mr. King.

Good phrasing, dynamics, and vibrato is all u need beats playing a million notes a sec everytime.....
Probably the greatest live blues performance ever.
Many people under estimate the impact of the backing band. BB King always had a killer band. Makes a big difference.
I saw him live toward the end. His band was phenomenal
SI
He was the OG
Well, i think this is normal. A legend deserves a great band 🥰
Excellent band leader and I always watch his in character band directing. And sound quality in person was never a problem. Got to know some of the band members and meet BB twice. Real professionals. Saw him live in the 70's, 80's, 90's and 2000's. RIP BB.
Just think of all the guitarists born in today's time. Back then we would all be Rich proof
Rest In Peace B.B. King.
Nobody ever made a guitar sing like B.B.

hi I see this in 2022. of brazil this man makes history so happy for see your art
The King 👑.
This put goosebumps on me ❤
at 3:00 The perfect note.
that *sustain!*
How did he do that? It was 3 bars long, wow. (10 seconds long) 3:01 - 3.11
His vibrato probably plays a large part, and during similar moments in other videos I've seen him adjust the volume/tone dials on Lucille.
I'd like to learn exactly how he does it though, if someone knows more about the King's magic.

It's controlled feedback. Easily achieved when you drive the power section of a valve/tube amp at a high level.

the blues never dies . Rest in peace B.B King .

Love Grandfather For The Blues...
right around 3:05 that sustain/note is just wow....
I love how his whole hand shook when he bent a note. RIP King of the blues
It's vibrato...different from a regular bend...

sadly he is dead T_T

no he ain't , only his earthly body
Sure man! He leaves his energy and playing for us :)

You can just hear the emotion in his playing... I love the blues.
R.I.P. KING
somebody please, post the year this tune was made...it's live ----man, I think late 60s...... this is why he was and remains the KING of blues guitar playing.
I don't think anyone ever has had more control of volume than BB. He can do swells without the knob!
Well, Peter Green (who was admired by BB King) was the master of dynamics too!
Gracias por darle tanta magia a la vida

And that's how you do THAT!!!!! ;)

Everyone's talking about the well sustained note at 3:00 but I'm more gripped by that gorgeous turnaround lick at 0:55. Golly gosh goodness wow, I want that lick
if you want to figure out the phrasing, the notes are the 4th note of this scale (pentatonic) then a half step below the root note then the root note all on the higher octave obviously
this gives me goosebumps 🤤..
He caresses those strings...
Legend.....
I'm making guitar faces just watching this.
0:47 even BB messing up is better than most guitarists nailing it
I love the way he put the note back in tune by slightly bending it.
RIP
I'll never forget you!
What is a feeling ?
Well this is.
