Fig . 7 features a B . B . King signature riff famously “ appropriated ” by Larry Davis for his slow blues standard “ Texas Flood ”, and then recycled by Stevie Ray on his cathartic version . Performance Tip : If you dig the melodious characteristics , check out the Mixolydian mode and the composite blues scale for more smooth improvising material .
