In this episode we are back with the king of the blues! This is a classic blues 12 bar with some awesome licks and riffs.

We cover the main riff, some of the theory behind whats going on in the guitar as well as the whole first section of the solo lick-by-lick.

"Rock Me Baby" is a blues standard that has become one of the most recorded blues songs of all time.[2] It originated as "Rockin' and Rollin'", a 1951 song by Lil' Son Jackson,[1] itself inspired by earlier blues. Renditions by Muddy Waters and B.B. King made the song well-known. When B.B. King's recording of "Rock Me Baby" was released in 1964, it became his first single to reach the Top 40 in Billboard magazine's Hot 100 chart.
