BB King Guitar Licks: 1947-1953

What You Will Learn!

  • They will learn +75 BB King guitar licks and ideas from his earliest recordings.

Description

     BB King is perhaps the best-known of all the great electric blues guitarists.  His career spanned 8 decades during which he recorded hundreds of songs.   This first course (part of a planned 3-course series) focuses on his earliest recordings - those made between about 1947 and 1953. 

     In this course, I will explain and demonstrate the overall "style" and "methods" BB used on these early recordings and then teach you 75 specific licks and ideas taken note-for-note from the original recordings.  I will teach you a variety of licks featuring single string runs, bends, double stops, fills, and even a few chord licks. 


This course includes:

- 5 Lessons explaining, demonstrating, and teaching the Basic BB King Style: chords, playing positions, tuning, and fundamental licks.

- 75 individual lessons covering specific licks and ideas heard on his early recordings (TAB for each).  Each lick and idea is               explained in detail and demonstrated clearly - with suggestions for how/when to use in your own playing.

- More than 4 hours of instruction!
