      Great lesson. Do you have an entire dvd on B.B. King style licks? I’d love to buy it if you do.

    Do you have to adjust the truss rod when you go from open E to standard tuning on that SG, and did/do you leave your 11’s on it?

      I did and in this video I have .010s on the SG.

      Glad to hear that because it is consistent with what I found; I had to tighten my truss rod on my ’61 SG RI when going up to 11’s and open E tuning. Thanks for the validation.
