If you are a guitar player, you probably appreciate it a lot more. Otherwise it may just seem like air guitar for non-players. As a player, it is incredible how well this was synchronized. Obviously this is not what he was playing, but the techniques heard are shown at the right times and when possible, segments where the playing matched the audio were actually used. I would bet the guy who made this video definitely plays guitar himself. You would not otherwise be able to line up hammer ons and pull offs, slides, bends and vibrato (especially hard to fake I would think) so well that many of the notes fretted are likely within a semitone of being correct
A lot of people forget BB King’s pioneering, neo classical, metal guitar playing. Before his live at the regal concert, BB was donning spandex and permed hair WAY before Yngwie Malmsteen. However, he was so ahead of his time, that folks weren’t ready for it yet. That’s why he settled for a more laid back, blues style.
Permed hair perhaps but....the spandex would be a no go. Every broad in the place would be passing out " trouser rouser". I mean tell us what religion you are BB, without telling us what religion you are.
Thanks God he played in Ljubljana back then, I still keep the concert ticked in my drawer and Blues Boy in my heart. This is beyond words!!!!! Ciao from Slovenia, yours truly Peter :-)
Yeah I laughed at it too. Every time, the expression on BB's face too made me laugh too. Whoever did this was really good a editing in the parts and whoever played over it plays really good and has an excellent tone.
It’s so nice to see an 80-something year old African American blues player who never forgot where he came from! who never forgot his Northern European/Scandinavian 🇸🇪 Neoclassical roots!... things go full circle......Fantastic to see.
@@wsplatinum Hmmm ! Let's see. Is Riley King's ancestry from northern europe or scandinavia ? I think not ! I do believe his ancestry is from Africa and his grandparents were slaves. How is that european/scandinavian ? I must have missed that in history class or misread his autobiography.
In 1973., when I was just 15 years old, me and my best friend stood right in front of BB at the foot of the stage and watched him play beautifully for two solid hours. What made it extra special was at the end of the concert BB bent over and with a smile gave me the guitar pick he been playing with all night. It was bright red and had his name "BB King" embossed on it. I am ashamed to admit sometime later I lost the wallet in which I had been keeping the pick. Nevertheless, this video. brings back the memory of this great guitarist and the kindness he showed a skinny 15-year-old white boy who worshipped blues guitar. A genuinely nice man. One of the all-time greats.
Lmbo! Are you serious. B.B King was born in 1925 and his career was over 70 years. Yngwie wasn't even born till 1963. Heck Yngwie's parents weren't even born yet. So who influenced who. Get your facts right.
It's amazing stuff. If you look closely, you can see Jimi Hendrix on glockenspiel, Elvis on the marimba, and Jim Morrison just standing there being the Lizard King.
I suppose your guitar never goes out of tune !! ...........try playing live in front of some lights etc and you'll see its different from your bedroom.
B.B. was once asked in an interview, “What’s it like being the greatest guitarist in the world?” To which he replied, “I wouldn’t know, ask Yngwie Malmsteen.” Dead serious. Look it up.
THAT is freaking awesome!! I always throw Yngwie's name out there when asked who I think is the greatest guitar player. Followed very closely by George Lynch.
Absolutely brilliant! Love how you match the notes that BB is playing then when we can’t see his fingers you throw some shredding in. My favorite video in a long time.
This had to be the best fake vid ever. I laughed so hard when I see him played, got me thinking that B.B King really did play Malmsteen's song for a few seconds then I realized that it's a really well made video. Kudos to the guitar player who made it possible.
Hahaha I’ve watched this so many times, but just noticed @1:44 ahaha! -he waits till he turns around, out of view!! Then he plays the main theme starts already a few notes in! Ahaha -I can’t explain why this is so enjoyable, hahaha
Amazing fake video. The best is the guitar player behind the video. He has to be a genious to syncronize every single note, every bending,...of B B King. Well done unknown guitar player!!
@@u.v.s.5583 BB could do that with the guitar behind his back, but he decides to play more "Grown up" music, for real men, not that 1000 notes per second bullshit, thats called Shred
I don't know if you know this or not but if you shake the neck of the guitar it creates virtually the same effect. If you play guitar it's very cool and useful if you don't have a whammy bar but want that vibrato sometimes. Just thought I'd let you know!
Truly one of the all time greats ...playing something from another all time great.. Up in heaven jamming together with other true greats that are up there.. RIP to BB King
Cause it’s fake. The runs at 1:16 and 1:46 were the only times where he got some solid speed. And of course, the camera conveniently shows his back and not his hands at those moments. I was playing Yngwie licks 20 years ago note for note up to speed which is why they showed his back only at those moments. Cause they knew guitarists like me would spot it. I love BB King btw.
cant help it happen dude.. good musicians will never fix the tune of string in a very obvious way.. and will never do a STOP which making a hole on the body of the song
I loved the way you mixed the images and the sound! Congratulations for your creativity! That would be great to see...unfortunately, it didn't happen. Maybe we'll see Yngwie playing some BB stuff one day. RIP BBKING!
Anybody who followed BB back in the day knows... KNOWS... he used to bust out neoclassical shred licks between blues songs ALL THE TIME... don't doubt what you can't disprove :)
So much talent in a single human being. He could and did play anything he chose to. Sometimes its hard not to cry listening to the recordings of his music.
damn it for a minute i thought this is real .... and then i think "waaaaait a minute, theres no guitar player playing metal with face like that" ......
Actually the face expression was appropriate. This is an artsy rendition of delightful music, not dumb metal "if you can't hear what i play, be scared at least of my facial expression".
@A.R.F !!! (Amazing Rare Footage !!!) this is insanely good!!!! the only thing that gives it away is the drummer and the drum sound....not trying to be an picky hey.... you couldn' t do anything about it apart from cut the scene....you had me for few seconds... like others i though he was just making a few notes to introduce something... how the hell did you come up with this idea??? hahahah
Well, I almost could believe it. I saw BB in concert 3 times over 30 years. The second time I saw him was in the late 1980s in a small venue and in the middle of one song he threw off some very serious jazz licks with a lot more notes than he usually did and way out of the blues pentatonic. I was rather amazed. The guy could play a lot more than blues. Regardless, it was cool to see such a well-done video. I'd like to think it was real. RIP BB. I loved you man.
How many times did you see BB king play fast outside the scale like that? I'd like too see that.. Probably because I'm thinking bb king won't play something unless it belongs or fits perfect, like most guitarist 60 years ago. Because it's badass when they play like that. Except 'Derick Baily'(noise) playing early 60s plays acoustic like a kid scribbling crayons front of an audience actually moved by it.
Bill B., I know your comment is over a year old but… I saw BB several times. He was playing in Lima, Ohio maybe 40 years ago. The sound man couldn’t get the stage monitors right. BB was slightly upset and walked way off to the outside, back of the stage, just barely still in the lights. He kicked in some kick butt jazz licks for a couple of minutes. I was floored! He then returned to the mic and all was well and typical BB. The next day I read an interview in the newspaper. He apologized for “getting a little too far out”!!!! Unbelievable!!!
I was literally fooled the first time with an uneasy feeling. Absolutely incredible playing and editing. I can’t imagine how much work went into this. Hats off to the creator(s)

It's the little detail of adding the reaching up to tune that pesky high E string over and over again that really sells this.
