| Part 5: B.B. Licks in G | ||||||||||
The following B.B. King blues guitar transcription is in the key of G, so, like before, we'll get into B.B. position - with our first finger centered on the root note "G" on the second string (at the eighth fret).
Lots of vintage King licks here - including some tricky passages which sound deceptively simple. Twice during the above tab, B.B. uses his first finger to bend a note on the first string. The first time, the note is bent up a half step, and the second time, the note is bent up a full step. This can be tough to execute, and will require some practice in order to get your first finger strong enough for these bends. That's it for this lesson. If you spend some serious time with the contents of the previous pages, you should quickly learn the basic style and sound of B.B. King's guitar style. If you're really interested in learning and assimilating King's guitar techniques, it's important that you spend time listening to, and playing along with his albums. Until next time...
