BB King is one of the few players that rarely worries about tone. He is known to simply show up at any venue he is playing and play whatever amp they have around. While playing, he also has several common patterns he uses while soloing; most notably the BB King box. Let's introduce you to a few of his approaches in this short introduction.

Hi, The BB King Box in this lesson is different from the one listed in the Guitar Tricks blog - https://www.guitartricks.com/blog/BB-King-Box-Explained. I'm a little confused. Thanks. Ken

Hello - thanks so much for your question! That is indeed the same pattern. Unfortunately, in Anders' lesson - he showed the b3 note as a bend up from the 2, and that note was not transcribed into the tab like it was in the blog version. Also, the lowest note in Anders' version is simply the lower octave of the 5 note, which is shown in both the blog and Anders' tab. Hope this helps!!
