I think of guitar players in terms of doctors: you have the doctor for your heart, the cardiologist, then one that works on your feet, your leg. But I believe George Benson is the one that plays all over. To me, he would be the M.D. of them all.

I'm self-taught. But I finally learned that they was having little shows or night dances or whatever you call them at little juke joints not far from where I lived, and I used to go there. They wouldn't let me play inside, but I could sit outside on the weekends, when it wasn't raining or something.
B. B. King
There are so many sounds I still want to make, so many things I haven't yet done.
B. B. King
I was born on a plantation, and things weren't so good. We didn't have any money. I never thought of the word 'poor' till I got to be a man, but when you live in a house that you can always peek out of and see what kind of day it is, you're not doing so well. And your restroom is not inside the house.
B. B. King
When I was young, I didn't play like I do today. So these kids are starting at the height that I've reached. Think what they might do over time.
B. B. King
It just seemed to me that the way I played was nice. I could hear it myself.
B. B. King
I'm no good with chords. I'm horrible with chords.
B. B. King
