    The B.B. King Box is a six note scale that B.B. King created. It is a scale that features a lot in his solos, and is one of the defining characteristics of his lead guitar style. As such, including it in your solos and improvisations is crucial if you want to capture a bit of that B.B. King magic. The B.B. King Box is so called because it is based ...

    Before you try to learn any new scale or technique, I think it is worth properly understanding how it will benefit your playing.

Some of the songs and solos where you can reall...

    As is true when you are trying to incorporate any new idea in your playing, take this material one step at a time. It is always better to take a little longer to learn a new scale or technique – but to really understand how to use it – than it is to dive in and fail how to properly use it in your playing. Start by just learning the shape of the B.B...
