  • Legendary classic ZZ Top from the 1979 album "Deguello" . Played in one reverbed/overdriven tone rather than channel switchin' like crazy - and there's alot on this one. Thanks for watching 🤘🎸

I admire players like, Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani etc. But it's this kind of deep, in the pocket playing by guys like the reverend Billy G and Audley Freed that move me. Thanks for the visual on how to play this killer classic. I'm adding this and Cheap Sunglasses to my list of tunes to play. Now if I could only figure out Heard it on the X properly.

    Geez man, did you nail this cover? Oh yes you did. You even did that riff down in the open position with low E and A string. You did it once! Cool. It was the only reason I came here looking for videos. I couldn't figure out how he played that. Very cool. Little chromatic action way down low. What a cool riff. But hey it's f'n Billy Gibbons man. Coolest of the cool.

    • @StacyJamesGuitar
      @StacyJamesGuitar  Рік тому

      Hey thank you for the kind words! Yes I love that chromatic riff that they do in unison....it's so Billy G.... and it's so them. It's actually a riff that I used to use simply for practice. I would just play that one part for who knows how long until it got easy enough to move on to the next. Let me know if you have any problem picking it up...I could do a video on just little stuff like that. Long live BFG.... he literally is the coolest of the cool! Rock on! 🤘🏼🎸

I think it starts on the G of the low E string, third fret. Then A string first fret, then back to G, chromatic down to E. Let me know how you do it. I agree it's a great practice exercise.

    Could I ask what kind of amp you used, or is that part of your secret stash so nobody can copy you? I'm big on marshalls myself, and that ZZ top tone is the stuff for me. It falls right into that same midrange chunky crunch like early Jimmy Page tone. It's the stuff that evolves into that really bity high end scraping sound you find in late marshall era's like Van Halen's shrill brown sound, or Slash's similar alnico pro II humbuckers through the jcm 800 I know his was modded from Appetite
