He seemed such a lovely guy so unassuming and modest: a real old school gentleman. They don’t make them like this anymore.
rory ?
sorta guy you meet thats a regular at your local diner and he changes your life with a 5 min conversation
On this and other BB King videos I've found him to be quite open about his shortcomings. It's a likeable and endearing trait.. So many guitarists, and musicians in general, are so far up their own arse they'd never dream of pointing out their playing/singing weaknesses. More power to BB!!!
This video (and all the awesome and positive commentary) has me tearing up as I write this. B.B. was (and will always be) legitimate. He was 100% REAL. Imagine being one the world's most revered blues players of all time... and still admitting that you struggle with chords and rhythm! How HUMBLE and HONEST!
As an "intermediate" when it comes to playing "lead" (or soloing), I straight up identify with what he's saying in this legendary interview. I'm weak on my intermediate and advanced chords. I have worked so hard on developing my "touch" and my sound and my scales and modes that I have neglected the many essential underlying chords and the theory behind the solos we all love to hear.
When he looks into the camera and urges learning guitarists to study their chords and rhythm... I felt like he was reaching through time and space to speak directly to ME! I know he's talking to everyone out there who can relate, but he perfectly nailed exactly where I am currently struggling.
He tells all this humbling truth and then produces some of the sweetest, warmest, most heartwarming riffs and licks I've ever heard.... effortlessly... and then goes on to admonish himself about his lack of expertise in the other areas of playing. Just a humble, amazing man.
The quality is less than stellar but the talent never dimmed - #RIP BB King
3:15 "I like the guitar to sound like it's singin'"...amen, bro.
His warm ups are my best solos.
Nobody can get more out of one note than BB.
Can I just say.. I fucking love this man.
I been playing for 25 years and been listening to BB almost as long, and I still get something out of listening to him speak... every word and every note he plays is gold :)
This guy is an absolute legend and a true gentleman. How many people of his stature would take the time to do this in such a modest and informative manner.
I have a whole new respect for him. I never knew he was this humble and sharing his wisdom. My favorite thing he said was keep learning and practice, practice, practice if your beginning to learn.
Thank you B.B. And Lucille for making our ears and hearts know what love really is. Sweet dreams America's king of the Blues.
i was a concert volunteer at a bb show in the 80's and at the liquid after-show party he was as gracious and kind and cool to me and my wide-eyed psyched-out volunteer buddies as he was with the queen of england, looking tired, just got back from a party. Unforgettable.
"Harmonic lines comes from head and heart". A living legend!
Dear Mr King,
18 minutes and forty five seconds of experience , from a master blues front man. I always thought you were famous for your vocals!
Thank you Sir for your service,
Greg
His humility, honesty, and peaceful disposition is not only inspirational, but taught me more about playing "music" than any instructional book.
I met my wife, the love of my life, at a BB King show in 1991! Thanks Mr. King!
His humble attitude is what make him so great.
There's an intimacy, a vulnerability in Mr King's playing and his demeanor in conversation. No pretentious ego. Those of us who love the blues feel every word he played. Those of us who play the blues would gladly sit at his knee to hear Lucille speak the things words could not convey.
he can tell us all of his secrets, there's now way we'll ever play like him... that's the sound of his heart man, and its only his, only his... I'm 18 and Brazilian (kinda hard for you to get into blues here) and I love him man, it's just so peaceful, so beautiful, pure...
You see the man has got it from within...But as he said ,:"Keep on learning those chords".As mosto likely everybody i really do admire him a lot and I wath his hand like 20-30 mins a day and use my ears to lock up some peaces together.Gotta tell ya even on the acoustic it sounds great!!!
Every note every slide every tremolo has the ultimate quality. He is master of masters.
Who in the hell disliked this.. BBKING is the MAN! Him actually taking the time out to do this is fantastic.
At 7:41 when BB said if he could hear that riff he plays all the time its like food 2 him I can relate 2 that. I got a riff I play everytime I got a guitar in my hand and when I hit those notes the same with me on the Harp its like music 2 ur heart it hit the spot
a humble man and great player
The true king ,the king of blues,the only one king ..his play with full heart..i love you b.b king.thank you so much for all the greatest
Such adorable and humble person! Thank you for all, Father King!!!!
How fascinating ..listen to all his knowledge over the years...true master BB🌞
Saw BB twice at concerts in the UK. Memorable evenings and i feel blessed to have seen him. He also entertained us with some of his life experiences and after one he said, "well i guess i'd better play y'all some more music or y'all gonna go back home and tell ya friends all old BB did was tell us stories all evening"!!
Such honesty!
BB... Such a skilled guitar player. His band is Epic Good!
@TheGrimDazzle704 It's called the I VI II V BB's doing it in G so it's G E7 A D7 The II is often a minor but you use the one that sounds right for the song. It's a groovy substitute for a turn-around or it can be a stand alone progression.
"No body love's me but my mother"-I love you BB King =)
He's really got the blues...
He's different, special... he's just got something, he transmits so much peace...
A true bluesman indeed!
Wow such an honest interview. A man with an incredible ear and recognises his strengths and weaknesses. What he does well he does really well and focuses on that. He recognises that music is bigger. But even with his age, experience and a little bit of luck he succeeded but even the best of us get into situations and think I’m winging it here and it becomes a way of life.
Either way B.B KING plays music that will touch your soul 😎🎸👍
He's so cool and humble.
Rip one of my blues heros.
Miss you blues boy.
Strange they couldn't have afforded a legend like King a better quality video
This is from footage that dates back to 1999 from Guitar.com. D'Addario owned guitar.com from 2002 to 2011 - we felt that this footage was too cool to just let go so we posted it. Granted the technology back then wasn't quite as good but it's still classic, vintage BB even still
***** I love the old-skool cellphone ring towards the end of the video. I can picture in my mind exactly what kind of cellphone that was--one of those old candybar cellphones. No internet, no GPS, none of that. Back then some phones didn't even have text messaging, and certainly none of them had graphics of any kind. Its funny to think that something that happened when I was 25 is now considered "old skool". When multi-FX came out everyone thought they were the rage of the future. Then they died out for a while because the technology at the consumer level didn't live up to the hype. Now we've got multi FX units that are as good as the pedals, at reasonable price points. Britney Spears had just begun to change popular music from rock based to hip hop/electrodance based.
If you took some seconds to think about what you wrote, you wouldn't be making such a fool of yourself.
it's just amazing how a man this talented still spends so much time talking about the things he can't do
i could sit and listen to his advice all day long (being a new guitar player myself)
Thanks for sharing . BB ❤️ when he attacks " nobody loves me but ..." He immediately switches to an higher level.. pure legend
One of the coolest interviews I've ever seen.
Couldn't stop smiling towards the whole video, such an inspiration, such a role model, such a legend. Thanks B.B.King, long live the King. :)
He's so originall :D! I love how he says he cheats when the chord progression isnt standard.So many things to learn from him!
Long live the king of the blues!
There is just "something" that is really special about this man. I could listen to him talk about the blues all day.
RIP Master.
Thx so much for this video!
i sat down to do my homework next thing i know im on youtube with my guitar in my hand watching this.
I love listening to him talk, almost as much as hearing him play. That man is so humble . . . wow.
I wish I could reach through the computer and hug BB lol!! Thank you, thank you, and thank you again for sharing.!!! I'm so appreciative of his wisdom...
Zwaarschoot - I haven't heard it put that way before but only a fool says he knows everything! I find B.B to be one of the most influential people in the blues and hes a wonderful soul. I just love his music! When someone so talented can be so humble! I also think owning what you do know is pretty great, no matter what that may be...
What a guy!
I love listening to B.B. King play.
Also, that voice is just great!!!
Wow. Very humble and honest. He's one of the most influential electric guitarists of all time. Many people copied his vibrato.
This was so great and informative. I got to hear him in person in Phoenix many years ago. What he talks about can go for any instrument. Love this man.
what seems so great to me is a performer of his caliber would take time to show newbies like me some of his tricks,after playing harmonica in Maine for 30 plus years,its fun to experiment with blues guitar...and to have afew lessons from the king just tops it off.Rock On
Humble man.
What a humble king. Yet don't forget he is the king.
Legend. A natural.
This is priceless.
This is gold, it's like listening to a wise grandfather. LOL at the Nokia phone ringing in the background around 13 minutes.
Greetings and love from Vonj. B.B King..very few have stood the test of time like King has, listen people.. here's a secret...kill that ego, and you will have time yourself to fully blossom here on earth.peace.Vonj
long live the king
A very down to earth legend here, and i know exactly what he means about how hearing the notes is like food to him. Right now its 4am and all i wanna do is plug in and hit the blues with some volume. Headphones are not gonna cut it... and... damn its like im starving here maaan. Oh well... at least theres this video to pass some time. Lol.
2:39 send a chill up my spine. Incredible!!

B.B. KING Invented the wheel
He dosent know a lot about racing tires

BB is King...............right on!
I'd love this video in at least 720P :( Full HD would be great
thank you M.r. King
What he is trying to say is that you got to feel it instead of playing it.
what a great guy thank
you
LOVE
This guy "sang" his notes on his guitar so that anybody enjoyed his soloing
Many widdlers need to study this guy and thats coming from a widdler!
Dont forget that BB was a great singer, which helped his musicality in soloing!
Thank you BB! I learned from watching you on Johnny Carson (my Dad always let stay up late for you).
I love this stuff. Anyone check out BB King playing Pauly's Birthday Boogie with Jooles Holland. Holy crap is that ever good. BB is practically bouncing off his chair he's so into it. :)
It's "Days of Old" I think from "The Great BB King" Album
Amazing musician.
this man knows a lot of blues tricks
cool cool
He's got perfect pitch
