- Tune your A string down to a G to play Jesus Just Left Chicago - ZZ Top. My other video gives a slower look at the guitar solo here • Jesus Just Left Chicag...
Great lesson, didn't even cost me a pocket full of change!
You are the first one that does it as it should be! Great job
The tuning you have so nicely explained is key to that sound and is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a LOT for sharing/teaching this with the UA-cam crowd. CHeers and Peace! dan from Montreal
Thanks 👍
Another outstanding lesson from the MASTER of covering classics.
OMG I just found you. Incredible lessons!
I love that sound I've always wanted to learn this thank you very much Tom keep them coming 😎👍
Straight bada$$ bro, getting that g drop right after “Waiting on a bus”, gonna make second nature today. Playing it this way in my ZZTop tribute for now on, thank you Sir…
wow, that makes it so much easier to play. thank you!
Very simple, yet fun song to play. Especially, if you have a band to play along with.
Great! Love that riff. Now I'll look for Waitin' for the Bus.....
SWEET! gives a good bass line and my old man vocals is perfect. Great for acoustic too...
Tom, this is like a big gift to me to impress my friends and give me hours of pure fun. You are the BEST!
I'm very happy to hear you enjoy it !!!!
Thank you very much. This is excellent. Liked and subscribed. You should have way more subs. Tonight's jam night, gonna break this out!
Love this dude thanks from funky England!
💰🎸✨
Nice and measured - real easy to follow. Thanks so much!
God bless America! I've been struggling learning this one in standard. Thank you! 👏
INSIGHTFUL, GOOD JOB, WELL DONE
I've always avoided Drop Tuning, but your video makes me want to give it a try. Thanks Tom.
Yeah I don't like drop tuning myself. It changes the notes and I like to think the names of the notes when I play. But I just wanted to show that I think that's what he did on the studio recording. At least in this case we just drop one string.
Drop D is bad ass
@@LEADSOLO This SG Fits Right For This Song
Thanks, man!
Thank you for your awesome lessons…👍
Love that...it's about the feel not the notes.....Am off to play harp somewhere in Dublin....
Thanks man
Good job
Sounds killer bro!!
Thanks for sharing!!
I play that song since 20 years in open G tuning dude. So much easier to play and to add a pleasant slide solo.
Very nice 👍.... great channel
I think you sussed that out right!! It makes sense!!
Awesome Possum :)
thank you ! very well explained !
Perfect
I wouldn't go that far! Lol. Thanks for watching!
Spot on dude!
Most informative, thanks!
Excellent thank you
This is very helpful.
dude...keep em coming...
Thanks for your inspiring comments!!
It’s right. Straight out of the tab book.
Good job Bro! 👍
Finally I get it!
I tried to play this in the full Open G tuning and it sounds killer except that turn around riff. Keeping the high E tuned to E makes it a lot easier but you do give up some of that whole Open G full chords (if any of that makes sense). Many thanks. Great playing as always.
Yep makes sense! 👍
Thanks👍👍👍👍
THANKYOU
Damn great instructor! I’m 65 and I’ve always wanted to learn that! Now if my sausage like fingers will cooperate?
perfect
Great lesson as always. Did the Rev use this tuning in the studio?
Not sure. It kind of sounds like it to me when I analyzed the licks closely
It’s only love
So what open tuning is this? G? Or is this a hybrid tuning? Could you give the tuning string by string please. Much appreciated and nice job!
I only changed the A string, tuning it down a whole step to a G. I guess open tuning isn't exactly the right word. Yes I guess you would call it a hybrid tuning. I just did what I thought made sense and what it sounded like he probably did in the studio.
@@LEADSOLO Thanks for the quick reply and specifics. Fun song to try and play and I thank you for the lesson! Makes much more sense now.
Billy usually plays it in standard live.
Yes I saw that once. It's just not worth it to switch guitars or tune when you're live for a few notes that are a bit easier to play. But it really sounds like he tuned it down on the studio.
The ears don’t lie😎
@@LEADSOLO He does.
This is sort of the lazy man's open G tuning... I do it a lot. instead of dropping the two E's down to D... just leave them and don't play on the lower string at all. Works well for both BadCO and Stones songs as well. The song makes so much more sense to play now.
So what about goin from waitin for the bus, straight into jesus just left chicago, has to be in standard tuning
Good point. But that doesn't mean they weren't recorded separately and then they realized they sounded cool right up next to each other so edited them that way. Maybe that's why he always started playing it in standard tuning live. Then again maybe he always did. It just works out well for this song so I thought I would mention it.
You can do that with tush also open G.
True.. Good point
True.. Good point
There's one big reason I know Billy G. Doesn't play it that way..... I've been 5 ft. away from him when he played it. But it does work your way too.
👍;
Tush is easier that way too.
drop tuning stop on that guitar and he just detunes it and the end of waitin on the bus and goes into it.
