Notes
Studio recording, original release 1959; B.B. King used his signature 'Lucille' ES-355 with both pickups engaged and the Varitone switch (likely position 2). No pedals, guitar plugged straight into the Lab Series L5 solid-state amp. No evidence of effects pedals or additional processing on the riff section.
