#BBKing

Born 16 Sept 1925 and known as “The King of the Blues,” legendary musician B. B. King introduced a signature style of soloing using string bending and vibrato. His song 'The Thrill is Gone' won him a Grammy. He was featured on Rolling Stone’s “100 greatest guitarists of all time” list. #BBKing

Great Player of the Day Appreciation posts for musicians who inspire me most. B.B. King. What more can be said about the guy? He packed more feeling into a single note than most players will in a whole album. I was lucky enough to see him twice. Incredible player. #musicsky #bbking #blues #guitar

BB King passed away 10 years ago: May 14, 2015. Here’s a piece I originally wrote about him a few days after he died. It was originally on my old site, Volume Treble Bass... I put it over on the #TBPC podcast website a few years ago: #BBKing #Blues #KingofTheBlues #Lucille
