    Vale the King - saw him once in New Zealand twenty five years ago. Blues legend!

      I regret never seeing him live, he is one of the people who influenced my guitar playing. RIP Mr. King :rose:

        The thrill is gone. I saw him playing a few years ago with Peter Green as the support act. BB said more with one note than most musicians say in a lifetime. I will miss him and I thank him for his influence. No modern blue guitarist can say he plays the blues with out that semi-tone bend going into the major pentatonic. Trust me - this does make sense.

            Radio 4 managed to turn it into an excuse for playing a track he recorded with U2. Seriously, decades of output and they chose that, he totally outclassed Bono.

                BB was one of a smaller group of guitarists who could make a guitar sing. It wasn't the number of notes he could play in a moment but the emotion of a few notes played with subtle bends and vibrato that evoked the feeling he was trying to portray. Job well done BB, rest in peace. :rose: [Edit] BB played to the end, the way I want to go.:cool:

                It was broke, so I fixed it.

                  Sad news for the world in general and specifically the music world. The soul this man could put into a note, each dripping with raw emotion was a thing of beauty. He was one of those people that could remind us that out of this horrible world full of suffering that something wonderful could emerge, and sometimes that was the only way to create it. I understand that there are skilled musicians of the next generation out there but they seem to get swallowed up and ignored. B B King will be missed and I'll raise a glass to him this evening. :beer: Skål!

                      I have wanted to see BB King in person for a very long time. Unfortunately, I never got to enjoy one of his performances. :sigh: The Kink is dead, unfortunately there is no one to replace him.
