The Thrill Is Gone [SOLO] by BB King Lesson

Just started learning this solo, following Justins lesson, and consulting his tabs. Anyone else learning it had the following observation?

The tab seems to differ from the lesson in bar 6, when those ‘variable’ tone bends that Justin talks about and plays come in. ie. Justin hasnt tabbed them, and what is there appears to correspond in pitch, but not tabbed as bends. Bar 7 looks fine, then bar 8 is missing the 1/4 tone bend on the + after 1.

I realise songs can be played in all sorts of ways, even by the original artist at different times, but given this sections prominence in the solo lesson because of the repeated bends, I’m wondering why Justin plays it this way. Note that I have always assumed that all the tabs are Justin’s.

Looking at some other tabs online, and watching some of BB Kings playing, I havent seen these ‘variable’ tone bends anywhere.

Not a big deal, just curious.

Cheers, Shane
