    Hey Peter, great lesson!! You really teach the song which is amazing. I never realized how much chord work went into a song like this. Billy Gibbons makes it sound so easy and you teach it very well. I 've always admired good guitarists. Jimmy Page and Eddie Van Halen come to mind as well. Great job....

    I was impressed with the way you taught the song. I had looked at two or three others and was a little unsure until I saw how you made it so clear. I need to work on it a little but am obsessed with the song and will get it. Thanks, Chris

      @@PeterDunbar the bass in that song. I can't figure out how it's so big in the song. You only hear those low bass frequencies in 90s hip hop. Guess zz was ahead of their time. Never heard anyone cover it live get that sound. This is a great video for guitar and the tone sounds exact. Thanks for uploading this.

Subscribing doesn't feel like enough in return for the knowledge. If I catch onto any new and snappy changes, I will definitely share. Like digging doobiz's cool walking up by octaves revelation.

    @PaulJonesy 8 років тому

    Love the way you teach this, nice relaxed style. One thing though, at the end of the intro you have the run up from E to A as barre chords, I guess as power chords, I think the way Billy Gibbons plays it is actually as octaves from F up to A, if that makes sense. Check out the video of him playing it at Daryl's House and I think you can see what I mean. Keep up the good work!

    That one part is actually alternate picking octaves,skipping the 5th string,not power chords.
    E 6th string open ,then it's F 6th string 1st fret, F 4th string 3rd fret,F# 6th string 2nd fret, F# 4th string 4th fret ,G 6th string 3rd fret G 4th string 5th fret.

      this whole guitar creation is the brainchild Steve cropper back in the day

    Nice lesson, but not entirely accurate. In the intro the shapes are major triads barred across the D, G, and B strings ((C major - 5th fret, D major - 7th fret, G major - open, A major - 2nd fret), not double stops. Also, instead of E7 play Em7 (low E sting open with a D shape triad at the 7th fret, gives you E, D, G, and B, or just play the whole Em7 barre chord at the 7th fret with the low E string). Cheers!
