BB King’s Legendary Guitar Solo – From Nobody Loves Me But My Mother
The guitar solo of King during this performance is no less in importance. He incorporates theresonant bends and vibrato in such a way that it almost feels as if the character is being killed, which resonates deep in the blues typical of him. He plays in between the chord progressions – behind you, up front and if I may say, out of the box, simply is how I would put it – in the instance of integrating the ideas of embellishments and improvisation.
Apart from the technical, King’s one more thing, his solo, is that it is great in feeling. In such a work of the mother there is a lot of sadness and sorrow, lonesomeness – one cannot help but say, thank you. The way he plays takes out all within him, and is hit on everyone by the touch.
And if there are fans of BB king or even the blues, then this performance is a must listen to. This time, you can see one of the best guitarists of St Louis showing the full scope to which he is able to reach, making all those who listen to him impressively astonished.
