This video is a tribute to BB King who just passed away this week. I often encourage my students to learn this song when they want to explore the blues or want to hear a great example of good phrasing and improvisation that is simple yet effective and extremely expressive.

Nonetheless, I wanted to do something to honor such a great musician. R.I.P Mr. King….

*The backing track for this came from the following website, thanks so much to them for making a very decent track and giving it away for free!
