Hey all,
I'm looking for some online lessons on BB Kings style playing. About.com had a really good lesson, but I haven't found much else. Any ideas?
Thanks

Wow, I can't believe I found an unanswerable question. Oh well...
I did find a really cool video clip of BB King show examples of his bending and vibrato techniques. What beautiful sound.
If anyone cares, lessons.gibson.com/lesson
About the top left of the page is Kings interview.

The first is one I have used and found helpful. The second might be interesting, but I haven't tried it yet.

Hi :D
Yes, odd that there's not more out there about him.
Here's a vid that covers the 'Thrill' style rhythm pretty good

And if you can read tab - http://www.mikesguitarsite.co.uk/tabs/blues/
There's a wealth of other blues tabs and info on this site.
If you're finding the tab hard to read, you can make it into a printer friendly format that turns it into a more traditional
black & white.
There's no lyrics, so that makes 'em kinda hard to 'navigate' as well.
Still, with a bit of dilligence.... You can get some good licks out of it.
