1

The Fun Is Back

5 lessons with videos and notes

Welcome to our B.B.King player study! Let’s get started by learning a BB style solo in the key of B minor. This is a great place to start as, theory wise, and allows us to really focus in on his phrasing, vibrato and incredible tone.

2

Minor & Major

5 lessons with videos and notes

In our second section of the course we will be diving deeper into the combination of the minor and major pentatonic scales, and how B.B.King uses them.

3

Chord Tone Soloing

5 lessons with videos and notes

In our third section we will be exploring the exact way B.B.King constructs his improvisation over a 12 bar blues. He is the king (no pun intended) of chord tone soloing!

4

Four O'Clock Blues

5 lessons with videos and notes

For our final section we will be putting all of our theory and new skills together in a great blues piece. The track is in a slow 12/8 time signature, which is more traditionally called a “slow blues” and features all the best of B.B.King.

Don't take our word for it.

Best site I've found for learning guitar and I've tried most of the big names. The difference here is the lessons are structured around what you need to do to improve and provide clear ways to practice.

Sam

I've been playing guitar for years, but have never properly understood how to take my playing to the next level. Then I stumbled upon Guitar Club, and I am so grateful to Dan and the YGA team for their brilliantly structured and inspirational guidance and lessons. This is exactly what I was looking for, and I am pleased to say that my playing has taken a big leap forward.

Chris

I could sit down and write positives about this guitar teaching site for ages! There are no negatives to write about. Every teacher on this course is genuinely passionate about what they do and this reflects on my learning.
