This footage is from B.B. King's live show in Africa in 1974, which by many is considered to be his best recorded live performance after Live At The Regal.
There's magic in a slow blues when it's played by the hands of B.B King and his six string companion Lucille. The phrasing, the touch, the distinct style and expression, the tone....all the things we guitar players pursue in our life-long quest to at least momentarily touch that level of perfection in our playing. B.B. does it all here and makes it look effortless.
This solo is packed full of incredibly tasty blues licks and captures B.B.'s signature style - an essential study piece for anyone wanting to improve their slow blues and improvisation skills.
