How To Play "I Thank You" By ZZ Top

Nothing to see here except a really fun song I love to play...
"I Thank You" by ZZ Top is pretty straightforward blues/rock goodness, but the solo is a fantastic example of simple and effective.

Great playing as always. He’s definitely the the KING of counting.
Recommend his BGU courses.

Great tune , i love this track, sam and dave did it too. But i didnt know that til decades later. Deguello was a cool album given to me as a kid, still love it 40 years later

Excellent as always. Love it. Great tip to apply the same rhythm pattern to different notes. Thanks again.

[@genghiskhando5507]

Wow, you really broke it down into easy to digest pieces. I thank you

[@RJcoolray]

the weird chord in question is a E7sharp 9 also called the Hendrix chord.

Love this video man..you are awesome and keep me struggling with this guitar even when i just feel like quitting all together. I hadn't picked up my guitar in a couple months because of lots of struggles i have been going thru and i had about conceded to just listen from now on....then you gave me this....i love zz so much and this video has got me once again playing and for this sir....thank you from the bottom of my heart.

@geraldhoffpauir4058:
Naw, man. When you're havin' life issues is exactly when you SHOULD play, dude.
That's how/when you learn to play the Blues with feeling!
Don't try to do anything complicated, just work on making sounds...
like a root plus flat 7th.
Try it using different strings, until you get the sound you want.
Try bending one or both strings.
Once you get a sound you're liking,' then just try "resolving" to a different note (or even a pair of notes).
You might be surprised at what you come up with!
I'm my case, if I do it for a little bit, then I come up with some awesome lead improvisations.

Dear Griff,
love your courses, but this time i think the counting is a little bit off.
Listening to the original version off Degüello to me there rather seems to be a triplet feel in the bend of the main solo-lick.
I'd really like to know your thoughts about it.
Greets, Dennis

Doesn’t billy use that octave thing in tube snake boogie as well?

Bitchin' 🎸

[@davidchaim4608]

So much of this is wrong.

[@PaulJonesy]

I’d say so, it’s close but…
