About this course
Every musician has a long list of other musicians, past and present, that have inspired, influenced and helped shape their own sound and musicality. It's the natural evolution of music. We asked Josh Smith to pass on to you some of the key learnings that his Guitar Heroes passed on to him.
”B.B. King, Albert King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Danny Gatton, Cornell Dupree and Steve Cropper have all greatly influenced my own sound as I'm sure they've influenced many other players. In this course, I'll show you a few key techniques and approaches that I picked up from each one of them. These 7 men changed my life. I hope I can pay it forward in a little way by turning someone new onto them!”
In this course, Josh will first introduce his heroes to you and describe why he found them so influential. After each discussion, Josh will then present a performance study illustrating those influences in a musical context, over a backing track. A breakdown follows every performance and Josh will explain and demonstrate all of the key concepts and approaches in play
You’ll get standard notation and tabs for all of the performance studies. Plus, you’ll be able to use TrueFire’s learning tools to sync the tab and notation to the video lesson. You can also loop or slow down the videos so that you can work with the lessons at your own pace. All of the backing tracks are included to work with on your own as well.
Grab your guitar and let’s dig in with Josh Smith!

BB King
They don't call Riley B. King the King of the blues for nothing!! BB ignited my spark and is fully responsible for my initial inspiration. We'll talk all things BB and how I started to work his signature style into my own voice.
Sparkly Tuxedo Shuffle
Here we're talking about the BB box, his vibrato, his phrasing and how these things influenced me. The swing, the bends, the slurs...it's all here!
Sparkly Tuxedo Shuffle
Playing the signature Bb shuffle starting with some classic BB techniques and then expanding into the way I hear and apply his massive influence on my own playing. It's not just the notes, it's the heart and the intent!
Sparkly Tuxedo Shuffle
Let's break down everything I played in the performance - all the nitty gritty details that will help you add in some BB to your playing.
Albert King
Albert King is the Velvet Bulldozer. There is nobody's playing that affects me as much. It's like a true punch to the gut. His playing is just brutal and beautiful at the same time. Let's get into it!
Bulldozed Velvet
Let's get into a soul blues in G minor. These are Albert style changes, hitting it hard with the bends, the aggression, the vibrato and trying to bring Albert's style into our playing.
