Heya folks…
you know,
B.B. King is known for bending the guitar strings. In a way, he was the first
to use this really technique as we know string bending… But to me, the
true “BB King” sounding bends are the 3-fret bends….
In this video, first you’ll see me just finishing up a demo on SRV/Albert King inspired vibrato and bends….Then, I demonstrate a couple of sweet blues licks inspired by BB and his wailing
bends. Probably his most charateristic bend is the 1 1/2 note bend from the fifth
to the seventh as I show here…
In “How to Play Smokin Blues”, I also do a section Freddy King, who might just be might my favorite blues player of all time… But you’ll probably have to get the DVD to
see that… But don’t worry, it’s coming out in less than 2 weeks!
Keep riffing,
Claude Johnson
I think this is good stuff:D
Maybe you should let people know what the picking pattern it on you videos.
Love the blues I think it’s great, waiting on the video
Great work, well researched
hey claude the last video the tone was right on, real nice .the others had or sounded like they had to much distortion the sound was awful the techniqe was good the acoustic was also cool, don’t get me wrong Ive been playing along time but I like to see anything else I could learn.you Can never learn to much Keep up the good work . you have a good soul…music is the balence
I enjoyed the jam tracks but I need you to remind me of chord sequece.
i got the “smoking blues” dvd’s - i am no longer playing the same old licks i been playing since the 60’s - duh - thanks Claude
