after watching the video again and reading your comment i think i understand it. i kind of saw it as creating different scale shapes by combining the major and minor pentatonic shapes. very interesting. i’m off to go play around with it now
there in that box so there they can work in a sweet way.and you can add notes from the a pentatonic in there also!
g8 lesson if you really practise or just try it out i think its really good. also this same position that this awesome guy plays is after so called albert king box. (check out bb king box on utube)
omg i had a blister on my finger form playing this and i was doing it so rough that it poped while playing HAHA
really great stuff man thanks alot
I break a lot of E strings myself. Playing the blues definitely requires a strong hand.
Sounds like you’ve got it. Watch out for the eye!
Sorry – don’t mean to piss on your parade…. It doesn’t sound like BB at all. You are completely missing his style…. and you are NOT ready to teach BB style.
Better to act than to talk…. or..??
if he had played that in the B penatonic instead of A it would have sound more like bb king.
Great lesson. I just listened to BB (compilation called Blues on Top of Blues), and John you really do capture that sound. (I am on my daughter’s account here, so ignore the profile).
What an idiot. You no nothing about blues music. Why don’t you post us some bb king lessons? Do us all an favor and kill yourself.
well, not really bb king style, but anyway i like it. Definitely an enrichment for every blues guitar player! Please stop complaining about people who take the time to prepare a video to share sth.!
Well, even its not the perfect imitation of bb style, its a good lesson to get into it..SO THX MAN!!

Thanks. For more BB Style check BB part 1.
You kind of miss the whole point of these lessons. Anyone who understands all of the nuances and technicalities of BB’s playing, or are ready to learn them, shouldn’t be watching youtube videos for guitar lessons. They should be able to figure them out by listening and watching BB play. This guy is doing a much simpler version, where you can take a simple penatonic, add a few notes, change your tone a bit, and sound a little like BB. it’s easy to hear that this is BB blues, not clapton or srv.
Only one B.B. but you complainers don’t have a clue!
BTW TheJam I didn’t mean to direct that to you. Sorry!
Can’t believe the negative comments – not the greatest lesson granted but something there to learn from and expand your own playing – for me anyway – I would be interested to see a contribution from the complainers – put up or shut up !!!!! Steve
ur sound is awesome, i have an awesome guitar ( epiphone riviera) but unfortunately a crappy amp
@MRwenkie Why don’t you work some out for yourself you lazy twat?.. ohhh, obviously because you’re too crap to do that, so you feel the need to take out your insecurities on random people to make yourself feel like a big man. Do us all a favour and kill yourself sausage breath
@Alvinorey
You = idiot. You don’t know B.B King style when you hear it at all, you don’t understand his style, you’re completely missing the connection, and you’re most definitely NOT ready to judge people.
Yep, you’re a dumb fuck. If you knew anything, you would see I was defending this lesson and John’s great teaching. Buy a metronome kunt.
Dude, my apologies, seriously!
Just reading back through, i hadn’t realised your post was in reply to Alvinorey! I thought you were talking about the vid! In which case my comments are 100% taken back and not applicable to you
BB would probably use the bb box for that lick…But cool anyway
thanks it’s so useful !
This much more John Mayer style other than BB’s..
Kacke ! – lesson nenne ich das nicht !
