Playing 'The thrill is gone' by B.B. King. On the Guitar.

First, you need to get both stoned and drunk in a mild fashion on a night in the middle of the week. You must have work to do in the morning, but you must not on any account be prepared for it. You must have a ready supply of tobacco and a dwindling amount of beer and skunk.

Now, listen to it on You tube.........

These are two scales to solo with over the top, figure out which you would prefer to use and where.............

B Major Pentatonic 7-10//7-8-9//7-9//7-9-1-//7-10//7-10//

and C Major(I think) 7-9-10//7-9-10//7-9-11//7-9//7-8-10//7-9-10//

They bring gooood results if you keep skipping them along, throw in a few octaves and bend them.

Finish your beer and skunk. Play it again. Save the rest of your baccy for the morning.

More on this later.....
