If you haven't checked it out on the BYCU home page, it's B. B. King playing "Sweet Little Angel" - this is an absolute master class not only in slow blues, but in the advanced art of guitar faces - I believe I see him doing multiple variations of "smelling a skunk", as well as numerous other faces I don't even know how to classify. Check it out! Bruce  |

Man, that was good. B.B. King's use of picking dynamics is just incredible. Try playing that softly sometime. It ain't easy.

Yeah, this was back in the 70's, when he was probably at the "peak" of his powers. Phil, if I could use dynamics like that, well, I'd do it! Just the raw feeling that exudes from his playing, man! And his guitar-face ability - he was definitely the real thing, one of a kind.

 Man, if he didn't smell a skunk, I don't know what he smelled  |
