…of BB King. Check out this video on YouTube of him playing “The Thrill Is Gone” with Gary Moore, another blues great.
The way those two play off each other is incredible!
Anyway, the video inspired me to put together a jam track based upon “The Thrill Is Gone.” It’s not exactly the same chord progression, but has a similar vibe. The progression goes: Am Dm Fmaj7 Em7 Am in a 12-bar blues.

In any case, have fun! I must’ve played with this for an hour straight! 🙂
That’s the best clip I’ve seen in awhile!
Those guys are talking! BB has so much class. And Moore is one of the best chameleons in the business– I’ve heard him mimic Neal Schon, Michael Schenker, Tom Scholz and Albert King. That’s variety.
He’s got the BB King vocabulary down too.
Have you ever heard Garcia/Grisman’s version of ‘The Thrill is Gone’? Very interesting.
