Free Lesson Friday Jazzy B.B. King V Chord Lick

May 7th, 2015

B.B. King's vibrato is legendary, but his phrasing is also exemplary. In this lesson we'll study a lick that B.B. played right at Bar 9 of a slow blues song, right as the progression hits the V chord. It's got a sweet start, a jazzy middle, and a signature B.B. finish.

Key:D
Tuning:E
Topics: Licks
