To be totally fair to both legends, BB didn’t ever comp or play rhythm with chords during vocal sections. He played lead, then stopped playing to sing. Never did both at once. And he played his notes more selectively than Kingfish. Again, this is with all due respect to both artists. They are two of my very favorites.

Maybe it's just me though, I might dance or sing, tap my foot or nod my head to many tracks but before now I've found clapping and applause to only find context as communication based social construct. So I really think I gotta give this man more respect for changing my view. Idk how but it actually changed my mood entirely & I feel I heard the music better than when I dance, sing and etc lol 😎
