I would recommend Albert King as a good guy to study initially. He had a very simple, but very effective style. Learn some of his licks and see how you can apply them over different chord changes, and what you might need to modify to make them work. With BIAB as you know it's very easy to setup a great sounding backup track to play over.

Most of all, have fun with it!


A great blues player! You might want listen and not watch Albert King as he is left handed and although he plays a lefty guitar it is strung upside down...a righty could play it but the knobs would be on the top. So he is strumming up and playing chords completely differently finger wise. So many, many people think Hendrix played like this but he played a right handed guitar strung for a lefty...so his finger positions, etc., are the same as a righty.

Pardon the digression...I am an old lefty! smile
