Blues Truth by Kirk Fletcher
BLUES IS KING
THE GUITAR PLAYER who influenced the greatest number of Chicago blues guitarists, though he got his start in Memphis, is B.B. King. By the early Fifties, B.B. had many records out, which were very acces-sible to everyone in Chicago, and during that time he played in the city a lot and had a big influence on other great players, such as Buddy Guy, Magic Sam and Otis Rush. As a tribute to B.B., Kirk FLetcher dedicates this column to offering some examples of his signature licks and phrasing.
