My Secret Blues Trick - How to Play Like BB King in Every Key!
Added 2018-01-26 22:20:13 +0000 UTCHello friends,
Today a quick lesson on how to find one of blues music's most popular soloing positions, BB's box! We'll begin this session with a brief demonstration over a 12 bar blues in Emaj, then I'll show you two simple methods of accessing this power cluster of notes! Once you have the system down, we'll apply it to the key of G major for good measure. Shout out to my friend and student Mike for helping to inspire this tutorial. Enjoy your practice!

2019-01-03 21:09:23 +0000 UTCRob, that's a pretty cool little guitar. What is it?
2018-05-28 17:13:20 +0000 UTCI know, it's a really beauty. That's a Seagull "Entourage Grand Rustic." It's a great little guitar!
2018-02-01 04:46:06 +0000 UTCThanks David, I got a new blues routine coming your way!
2018-02-01 04:44:59 +0000 UTCHey, love the guitar you are using in this lesson. Such a full sound for a small guitar. what is it?
2018-02-01 02:16:53 +0000 UTCLove the blues lessons!
2018-01-30 14:28:56 +0000 UTCI have to say that this is such a great guitar page. It certainly has made me a little bit better guitar player every time I visit. So thank you:-)
2018-01-29 18:09:52 +0000 UTCGosh, Rob, you know how much I love this stuff. This lesson was really fascinating with so much to think about. I'll be watching again. Thanks for keeping the blues themes going and for giving some thought to my interest in a blues rhythms lesson. I'm sure you'll come up with something terrific. Have a great weekend.
2018-01-27 14:30:32 +0000 UTCYes, please do! Awesome intro, great lesson
2018-01-27 12:13:21 +0000 UTCYou’re welcome Mark! Yes, the vibrato is deceptively complex. The thing that a lot of folks miss is that the best players vibrato in time with the rhythm. Often times fast 32nd note modulations. So, think of the beat when you’re shaking that string. Have fun!
2018-01-27 02:33:51 +0000 UTCway cool thanks working on that vibrato
2018-01-26 23:43:54 +0000 UTCHey, I’ll definitely tab out my intro. Maybe make that into its own lesson.
2018-01-26 23:42:42 +0000 UTCThanks Andre, hoping this allows you to jump right into that position without hesitation. It’s always helpful to have landmarks.
2018-01-26 23:42:03 +0000 UTCI want tabs for this..
