_ [Dbm] _ _ [Gb] Welcome guitar players, my name is Ingo Sandhoven.
Today I would like to give you a [G] transcription of a B.B. King solo from an intro from a song
called Paying the Cost to Be the Boss.
_ It's very easy and it's very useful and later on I would like to give you some [G] ideas what
else to do with those B [Gb].B. King licks.
But first, let's do it nice and slowly.

[Gb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [N] Alright, now let's have a look at this first lick and especially at its phrasing.
The first thing you have is a triplet figure followed by a 16th figure. _
Take this rhythmical figure and use it in familiar places on the neck.
Go to your minor pentatonic scale or your blues [C] scale and use B.B.'s. phrasing. _ You'll be amazed how much mileage you can get [B] out of those simple short figures. _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ [E] _ _ _

[D] _ _ [B] _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _
_ Well, just go and move [N] them around on the neck. On the next lick you just have four straight quarter notes and see how much fun you can get out of four quarter notes. Here are some suggestions. _ [A] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _

_ _ think you get _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ the [F] idea. Do the same with the rest of the solo, just [A] move the licks around the neck. I think there's two things you should do. You should learn the solo by heart and then just play around and make up your own licks. I hope you have fun with it. I'll just play a little [B] more. _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
