Thanks Mike, Yes, I agree, the click can help you understand the timing of each phrase much easier. I will use that more often or all the time possibly.

BB uses light strings now I think, but he's also well over 80 and it is inevitable to lose some of the energy as time goes on. Cut the legen some slack! I wish I can see that age...

I don't think that BB King's guitar sounds nearly as good now as it did years ago. Maybe that's because of those wimpy strings he uses.

Thanks Mike,   I need  my fingers thinking for me when I'm trying to sing. It's nice if your fingers have "legs of their own" so to speak when stepping up to the mike... Steve

Yeah... I got Dan Earlwine's good book: "Guitar Player Repair Guide" and that covers it pretty good.

I think there is a good amount of validity to your thoughts about a higher action setup for blues guitar playing. For one thing, blues requires alot of emotional input, for example...

Hi Steve ... sounds great.  Love that Tele tone!   It's cool looking back at your earlier video and seeing how the rhythm is going into your muscle memory (i.e. becoming "spinal").

Hey Duke, Here's the One plus One long and short parts...   Getting these on video is a nice practice regiment.

Hey Steve, You got it perfectly! And I like your embellishment on the 2nd verse. I sometimes do that exact same thing! Nice tone also on the Strat. Duke

Duke,   Here's another go at it. I also added some embellishments on the 2nd 12 based on some you tube BB King videos. Thanks, Steve
