I recently got so fascinated with BB King and his style of playing. This video is a godsend to me!!!

Marty schwartz you’re the best I’ve really been working on soloing with the BB box these past couple weeks, I watched all your videos, wanted more, and here you are giving us more thank you so much for doing what you do great lesson!

I swear you have my search history 😂. Last time I learned “Nobody Knows you”, you put a lesson up on it lol. I just finished practicing and learning “Sweet Little Angel: Live at the Regal” yesterday, and now this. LOVE IT MARTY! Thank you!!

It would be really helpful if you did a brief view of your amp settings before going into the lesson. Love the videos.

Beautiful Marty! :- ) the harmonic scales are patterned. Many are even mathematical; understood "mathematicaly". The piano can be approached in the same fashion. As, in the "circle of chords" harmonically. To learn your tutorial is to know lead and creating harmonies! Thank you Marty. You really -INSPIRE- creativity. Beautifully presented, as only a talented (studio) musician could do. I've known very few, sir. Tommy Emmanuel inspires many. You inspire so so much brother. Thank you.

Very, very tasty Marty. You do something at 9:17 that sounds like a tempo change (I don't know if it has a name), which I hear a lot in solos. It sounds great. Perhaps one day you could break it down for us. Love you.

Awesome tutorial. I've noticed that B.B. finished a lot of licks like it's a question. The last note always goes up... like your voice does with a question.

Gonna be playing some fine bluesy riffs for myself after this video. Thanks to Marty in advance for the bucket loads of fun.

[sallysigler]

Bingo! Finally, some clarity on the BB box, and his unique, very distinctive style! You rock, Marty!! 🎸

[paulsimmons]

Marty, those licks sounded just right on that ES! Keep rockin'!

[waylongomez]

Thanks for making school suck a little bit less :) ✌🏽

[RCSmiths]

BB King is one of the greats in guitar! A great lesson for sure!

[jeremybentham]

Can you do a amp setup for acoustic guitar. Thanks. Love your how-tos. It's helped me allot.

[charleswilson]

The return of party marty! Sounds great man

[djvape]

Man I wish I knew enough to just go into a little freestyle

[sammoore]

Awesome video, on jamming like the King of the blues. Thanks Marty for sharing!!

[robharris]

Good licks bud, you give good tutorials as you get stuck right into it. Not like some of these other U tubers where they blab on about the laws of physics for 15 mins before anything happens !!!

[TommySG]

[Zillarator]
