OMG - if you only knew how long I have been trying to work that out. As is so often the case - once the solution is presented it becomes glaringly obvious. Clear concise tuition. Thank you.
I remember being little and hearing my dads band practice this over&over&over...drove me nuts! Lol! Then when I got into guitar ,14,in the early 90's ....I had to learn it! I remember being at a bar,jammin with the band ,they let me play it!..time came for the slide guitar part ,I grabbed the nearest beer bottle I could find,which wasn't hard,lol! And away I went,GOOD TIMES! Thanks for the memories! RAWK!
Very cool rendition of this Houston trio classic and once again........very versatile jazz guitar that can handle rock 'n roll as well as jazz and blues!! Now all we need is a dynamite cool biting solo to complete the ZZ package!! Jivin' Jim
Everyone likes a little ZZ. Fantastic guitar song. Keep chugging these kinda lessons out and your numbers will grow exponentially! Great job as usual Robert.
Great video! Billy Gibbons has a way of presenting the notes is a very unique way. Almost like they sound harder than they are...kind of a 'less is more' thing. Either way, nicely done & thanks for sharing!
Very nice. Kinda funny, I learned that song by ear from a record player back when I was a kid in the late 70s. Took me forever and I must have lifted that need a thousand times until I was sure I had that song perfect. I’ve been playing it off and on ever since then and less as the years went by. However, never went back as an adult to revisit using our modern tools. Looks like I I had it close. Lol. But missed a few things. Thanks bro!
Robert, just a beginner on electric guitar. I very much like your clear teaching and cool theory. Glad I just found you. Maybe could you check out "Teacher"" by Jethro Tull perhaps...if not too complex?
Sir , Thank you so much for this . I have been playing many years and have struggled with , Job < Family < Kids Wife music . I am so very grateful for you taking the time to teach this way . Gob Bless Mickey
GREAT TUTORIAL!!! This is serious work!! and I meen it: you did your homework... This is the way Billy Gibbons must have played that tune. I dont mind doing of a song but I always try to find a way to play the tune the way the creator voiced it originaly. If you look closely how Gibbons hold the instrument and its close relation to Jimmy Hendrix handling ... this is a great version of it!!
I been up, I been down Take my word, my way around I ain't askin' for much I said, Lord, take me downtown I'm just lookin' for some TUSH R.I.P. DUSTY 🎸🔊🔊🔊
Turnaround might be easier to hit voiced as (x.x.4.5.5.5) to (x.x.3.4.4.4), and to be that guy :P it's an Eb7dim to E7dim. Very well done, I like that you didn't use the album version! Keep them coming!
How different is this version to the album version? I see a lot of tabs doing big stretches between the index and the pinky which doesn't seem like something a blues guy would be at, seems like too much of a hassle
@@jedsmith4988 learned some of it and gave up. That's why I'm still shite after 25 yrs of playing! Didn't see any vids with him doing any mad stretches

I'm gonna have to rate you top youtube teacher, showing the axe from this angle is the way! I learnt this song 2mins, FANTASTICALLY RIGHTEOUS.
😍 Thanks so much!
Great lesson. Nice to see someone who plays the turnaround the right way!
...and that is how you give a lesson ladies and gentleman
Takes me back to my speaker blowing days of the 70's.

Thats the best tutorial of this song I have seen. Thank you very very much.
Glad it was helpful!
Can’t wait to learn thanks Robert
Thankyou Robert !
Thanks for that cool turnaround. You do a lot of hip licks and tunes.
Everyone likes a little ZZ. Fantastic guitar song. Keep chugging these kinda lessons out and your numbers will grow exponentially! Great job as usual Robert.
I woke up this morning playing this.
Excellent lesson! Many thanks! Now, I just have to practice.

Great job figuring out the live version!
Flawless. Superb Robert, thanks!

I had it close. Lol. But missed a few things. Thanks bro!
That's how I learned too. I used to wear the records out. 16 rpm was almost an octive lower.
Thank you for taking the time to show us this song. I always wanted to learn it.
Another point of interest, is that Billy plays a .007 gauge of strings. (Rev. Willy's Mexican Lottery Brand) .007-.038 !!
The best version I've ever seen.
Thanks!

I ain't askin' for much
I said, Lord, take me downtown
I'm just lookin' for some TUSH
R.I.P. DUSTY 🎸🔊🔊🔊
Great lesson! Awesome content! :)

Thanks Robert, you level me up every time. I'm gonna have to join your academy. I'd be a fool not to 🙏😎
Thanks man!
Great stuff!! Thx!
Thanks!!
Thank you so much Texas Blues Alley shit i mean Robert.
that's awesome
Like your style...
Turnaround might be easier to hit voiced as (x.x.4.5.5.5) to (x.x.3.4.4.4), and to be that guy :P it's an Eb7dim to E7dim. Very well done, I like that you didn't use the album version! Keep them coming!
two years behind, but I'm happy to see the 7dim, I couldn't make the dom7 fingering work.
@@bdbde5 it's obnoxious right? it doesn't sound hard... the truth is that Billy is way better than anyone (except notably Hendrix) knew
Great!
Väl spelat, Robert!
Tackar!
Is it possible to play this in drop G tuning? I haven’t attempted as of yet.
thanks Robert. just a thought: Joe Walsh (guitar player extraordinaire, top ten world rock guitarists)
Killer tone👀
I'd love to see a lesson on ZZ's Thunderbird, the fast "Fandango" version. No one has done it I'm aware of !
grew up in Texas , the thumb is mandatory
How different is this version to the album version? I see a lot of tabs doing big stretches between the index and the pinky which doesn't seem like something a blues guy would be at, seems like too much of a hassle
Hope you get an answer. Just started learning this one and found the same thing! If I don't have to master the 3-8 stretch I'd be happy!
@@jedsmith4988 learned some of it and gave up. That's why I'm still shite after 25 yrs of playing! Didn't see any vids with him doing any mad stretches
Really appreciate the lesson but was wondering if you can show the lesson straight on playing in front of the camera please?
