Yo Ryan,
I am sure you will enjoy the show. I have yet to see him I plan to this year if I possible. I hear he does a very good concert.
Wish I was you
Paul

I saw him this summer at a blues fest in Hartford. Very Cool. Just sat in his chair and played. Enjoy the show.

You lucky dog!
Post a review!

well, the concert was absolutely amazing.
Hard to believe that a man of 77 years is still
having so much fun and touring. The opening
act was a local blues/rock band called Big
Daddy G, and they were spectacular, although
the guitarist's tone, IMO, was too shrieky.

BB King was amazing. kept on making jokes,
directed at everyone (including himself) and
everything, The music was wonderful,
although being a metalhead, there's only so
much blues i can listen to before getting
bored...and i did get a little bored towards the
end. However, it was a great show, great
music, and i had a great time.

I am just a bit envious of you, Ryan. I would love to see B. B. play live. Wait, I don't think I will ever see him play dead. Well, you know what I mean, I hope. :-)

did you really get bored? terry

unfortunately, yes.

i mean hey, i can only listen to slow blues songs that sound the same for so long...

Ryan

He played In the Boston area at least twice last summer and the show I saw was in a very small out door site. He had to sit but the show was great he interacted with the crowd alot more then when I've seen him in the past and his playing was great.

BEWARE!!! over use of pentatonic minor may cause extreme damage to your creativeness.

UH HEM....Zakk Wylde ???

Right. How about just letting the musical thought flow and forget about which pentatonic your using. Let it come out in sound. Capture it. All the other devices are just tools with out musical thought until you bring it into focus from within you. TOo much of anything can be stifling. Charlie

That's the best explanation I've heard. I've had that point of view for so long, but really didn't know how to express it. Thanks.

BB King rarely uses only the "normal" pentatonic minor - so you actually are telling us you've never really listened to him.

Anyone famaliar with the "B.B.King" box knows that it blends both the major and minor,so that he can summon either at will,from basically the same position.Not to mention all the jazz style licks and passing tones he adds for color.He's no slouch...
Peace,
Alan

"He's no slouch..." no kidding, and arguably the most important electric guitarist of the century.

I agree.

Have a listen to "the Thrill Is Gone" - BB is such a tasty player.
