    I had to hear how you did this song, because you are perhaps the most brilliant blues guitarist of these times. I have always love this song, because ZZ Top were very clearly paying tribute to John Lee Hooker, and did so beautifully. And now you pay a most beautiful tribute to both ZZ Top and John Lee Hooker. An excellent rendition of this song.

    I like the fact that you can see the pedals that might be used, including the looper. Most vids assume you have the appropriate pedal and the sound it generates, and never show this.

    I can't play the guitar and I *know* that I'll never play like this. I'm a few months into it and I won't live long enough, and I'm totally OK with that. Developing my own talent is its own reward and gives me a finer appreciation of those who are so accomplished. It's an enormous comfort to know that people can and a tremendous joy listening to them do it. Thank you so much for your channel, Justin.

    I LOVE Listening to
    So many bands that play tribute.
    From the way one's malgamate different instruments. In to "A"
    in to "A" song. From a lyrical note.
    To a string note & how it can change a note.
    It's like the ultimate note
