BB King-The Thrill Is Gone

Lockdown Licks no. 329.
With the "house band."
"The Thrill Is Gone" by BB King.
Intro solo played on a Stratocaster into a Trio "band in a box" pedal then into a NUX M8 amp set to clean with some reverb.
🎸I played the 1,4,5 chords in Bm, in time, into the Trio to teach it the pattern.
🎸This was played back into the amp with the drums & bass created.
🎸I then use notes from the B minor blues scale for the solo.
BB King had an expressive style using vibrato, tasteful bends and phrasing, much coveted by millions of guitar players since.
"The Thrill Is Gone" is a slow minor-key blues song written by West Coast blues musician Roy Hawkins and Rick Darnell in 1951. Hawkins's recording of the song reached number six in the Billboard R&B chart in 1951.
In 1970, "The Thrill Is Gone" became a major hit for B.B. King. His rendition helped make the song a blues standard.
B.B. King recorded his version of "The Thrill Is Gone" in June 1969 for his album Completely Well, released the same year. King's version is a slow 12-bar blues notated in the key of B minor in 4/4 time. The song's polished production and use of strings marked a departure from both the original song and King's previous material.
