BB is a soulful player. Listen to this and note how sparingly he uses the guitar....a great blues performance imho. This is how the blues should be communicated... ? WOW.

Agreed. I think that often its the silence between notes that has the more profound impact on the emotion expressed. John Frusciante (ex RHCP, and an accomplished solo artist too) is a pop/rock guitarist that does this particularly well in his lead playing.
edit: Another thing that impresses me is that he's somehow learned to channel the sweat to his face instead of his hands, thus not impairing his craft ?

When a solo is so tastefully done I always take notice......no senseless fingerboard wanking there. ?
Ah, that was so good, if that song was a couple of hours longer I wouldn't have minded at all. ?

BB King has to be one of my favourite artists of all time. A man who obviously genuinely enjoys what he does...
But I mustn't watch these videos. Just makes me want a 335/355 type even more...

BB King and Buddy Guy ..... My Fav Blues guitarists.
BB King does indeed play with so much soul. It makes the hair on my neck stand up when i watch the Live at Montreux concert. I really appreciate music so much after watching him play.
