One particular video you describe your method of using arpeggios from chords. Incredible insight! And change you can give some more details for us working students?

    Eric's style is unique. He seldom dribbles into the zone. It's like he goes with the flow, waits for it and when he drops that ball, man it's like a huge iron ball that goes boom. His style is formed around a sports car concept - drive it slow and it just keeps on begging to go fast. Thing is he can play. Weird to say, there is such a thing as guitarists who can't play. I only know of one guitarist who gets paid to play solos without the ability to play: instagram.com/kirkwhammett/

The all mighty groove is so heavy here, I am still jamming along in my head. The intensity and skillful fun in which Josh and Eric play with here, just reinforces my deep seeded love of all things blues. And the groove is still playing, thanks BB King for such a great platform and timeless classic.

    the first part of the solo of JS sounds fairly simple but the way he hits those notes and the touch of it - that' s the difference between someone good and someone great! And you think about the solo by JS that' s it - how can it possible stay up there let alone get better. But then you know the other insane guy on stage! And this cat plays everything by listening to reccords and tapes when he was young. Listen to and LOOK at him: this guy gotta be on PEDs... And what better song can there be than "Paying the Cost To Be The Boss"??! This one and "The Thrill Is Gone" are my all time favs by B.B. King! SKIP EVERYTHING I WROTE SO FAR - THERE' S JUST ONE WORD TO IT: THE BEST BLUES GIT DUAL I HAVE EVER HEARD! Also because there is this huge mutual respect.
