BB King Teaches How to Solo Over a Blues Progression - Animated Fretboard Guitar Lesson

Learn how to solo over a blues progression in the style of BB King in this comprehensive 33-minute animated fretboard guitar lesson. Explore BB King's signature riffs, chord progressions, and soloing techniques as you break down his slow blues solo in G. Discover the importance of chord tones, outlining chords, and using the Mixolydian mode. Master the "BB Box" and compare it to the House of Blues and Albert King Box. Practice raking techniques to fatten up notes and learn to move patterns up and down the neck for I-IV-V progressions. Includes a demonstration of the solo played note-for-note, followed by a "workshopping" session to help you develop your own style. Conclude with a 12-bar backing track for hands-on practice.
