B.B. King drew inspiration from several influences. A few of his favorites include Lonnie Johnson, Django Reinhardt,T-Bone Walker and Blind Lemon Jefferson.
“My style is a mixture of people that I’ve idolized,” King told GP in 1970. And despite being self-taught, King firmly advocates musical education. “Get yourself a teacher, take music lessons, and learn everything you can about your instrument,” he says. “Learn to read music. Later on you’ll be qualified to play whatever you want.”
