Free Lesson Friday B.B. King Style Box 1 Ballad Lick

Nov 1st, 2019

We're in the middle of overhauling our 5 Boxes Essential Licks course, so this lesson will share one of the licks from that course. This lick happens in Box 1, but it uses some of the major-sounding notes, with some B.B. King style phrasing. It fits in a ballad style song, as you'll hear from the backing track in the demonstration.

Key:G♯
