Thank you for your lessons - I stopt playing guitar in 1987 - now Im Start wichtig te Age of 67 New with the Hits of of myr Generation - greetings from Austria 😊
Really miss the tabs man. I learn better when I pause and can go at my own pace. You rock! Old guys like me appreciate you teaching us the tunes we grew up on!!!
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker unfortunately, their lyrics are pretty damn misogynistic, but that's my chick point of view. Still love the originality of his take on blues rock.
@@dotkennedy7443 true. They wrote some words that celebrated their fondness of women in that manner. Not defending it or promoting it. I do think Billy simply adores women and that was a sign of the "times". 70-80's were very sexualized decades.
@@dotkennedy7443 lol. I don't think he intentionally meant to write words that treated women like objects. I truthfully think he wrote out of his love for women. But it certainly was sexualized in a lot of tunes. I see your point. 🥂
So badass, Marty! The playing. The tone. The teaching. All of it. You are the man Bro!!! Man this record was a total game-changer for me when I was 12/13/14.... and I've loved it my whole life, and ever since. One of my all time faves for sure. Man. That tone!!! Came out in 83 I think. I turned 13 in Dec of 83.
Wow Marty my man dude i am a guitarist to im on TH-cam as well i play alot of cool videos to !! Anywayz ....... i have Played ZZ Top songs etc over the years but its been a while man , so thx for bringing back memories & restoring my memory , im in a band called OPC and we do alot of cool songs & Sharped Dressed man & La Grange is them !!!!
thanks man, what a way to kick off my friday morning. zz top and a j . i think i wore out 2 cassettes of this album kickass gibson ...she sounds sweet . i read once for this album he had like a hundred different amps ,all kinds of brands ran together ...its a rippin album for sure thanks again man your my hero dude have a great memorial day weekend my friend
Earl Hooker was one of the early major/minor blues players. Listen to him on Earl's Boogie, then listen to Clapton in Cream, and you know where Eric got it.
I know man! Same here. They even make 7's in the Mexican Lottery brand. Hard to not bend everything sharp by just resting your hand in the strings and fretboard!
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker Yeah man you need a delicate touch, the complete opposite of how I hold my guitars. I play them like they owe me money. Could never do a scalloped board.
Great lesson Marty. Man, ZZ Top pinch harmonics galore. Excellent riffs, always liked their style of playing guitar especially. I have to wonder if EVH was inspired a bit by Billy Gibbons and ZZ Top. 🤔🎸 Thanks for breaking these tunes down and sharing them with us. 😎🎸✝️
Great tone! I love ZZTop. I think Deguello was really the start of their rise. Billy is a lazy player and he admits it openly. He uses SEVENS! LOL. He has very interesting and unique turn arounds.
Thanks! Keep up the Van Hagar lessons too. Good ZZ Top songs for a RAT pedal. Great GenX tunes. Another tune I hope you could look at sometime - Fell on Black Days by Soundgarden
Thanks Marty! Great lesson! Only thing to change, maybe, is you coulda used your white furry Explorer to really seal the deal. With strap spinner, of course .
Great lessons. Much appreciated. I would really like if you mentioned just fret numbers instead of note names. I have a feeling that I'm not alone in saying that a bunch of us watching have not memorized the fretboard yet .
@buff daddy totally agree. It's been on the to do list but time is unfortunately not a luxury and between enjoying playing, practicing and life, the fretboard takes a backseat!
Time constraints these past two weeks. It's either this or no content at all. I may start placing all the tabs on Instagram for free. The editing and time limits during the days these past couple weeks have been insane. So many irons in the fire to even get into. Basically "life" stuff.
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker I completely understand that's a bummer cuz I don't use Instagram I hate social media it's a terrible way to communicate God bless you and I hope that life stuff gets better I'll keep watching and keep practicing

How can you not love ZZTop. Happy, cool Texas boogie woogie rock!! Just pure fun to listen to and play too.
They are such a great band. You really
Can't select a bad album. Whatever you put on, it always fits the vibe!!! 😎🍺

I got to say that my favorite track off this album is need you tonight. These tracks of course are all iconic as well. Thank you
Love some ZZ Top baby!
Me too. The little band from Texas! 😎🍺
Just started listening to this, but out of the gate, that is the way a Les Paul should sound when playing rock!

You're welcome man! I agree!! It's a ZZ weekend. Maybe catch some classic car shows!
Thank-you very much for the vid, very much appreciated 👍
Love me some Billy G! Thank you for the major/minor explanation on Gimme.. - that really opened up the song for me. Rated.
Earl Hooker was one of the early major/minor blues players. Listen to him on Earl's Boogie, then listen to Clapton in Cream, and you know where Eric got it.
Top, top, top!
Mega Thanks! ❤
You're welcome! Hopeful to catch them live this summer!
Nice lesson! Love ZZTOP! Easy to play and no whammy bar! Lol 😂 Thanks, Marty
Lol!! Your welcome dude 🤟🏻
Fantastic Marty. I've just recently found you and subscribed. Every lesson is brilliant. Love all of your work. Keep it up..
Thank you Peter! So glad you Ike the content! Glad to have you here 😎🤟🏻
Oh, man, I’m getting ready to go see the movie About My Father, but I can’t wait to watch this video later. 👍🏼
I like your teaching style Marty.
You rock my freind!
Have a great memorial weekend,
Cheers from Montana 🍻
Thanks so much man! Glad to help dude. Happy Memorial weekend!
Best video since billy gibbons discovered pinch harmonics
T.V. dinners is the shit! It's one of those songs that must be played LOUD!!!
I love TV Dinners!
If the sauce is not too blue!
That Les Paul sounds awesome and great lesson. Thanks
Stacked up root-5th chords always sound so much better when you start piling on some gain.
Great Lesson Marty! I always enjoy how you explain everything clearly and make it easy to learn. Thanks!
I can’t believe Billy makes 8 gauge strings sound so good. They feel like dental floss to me 😂
I know man! Same here. They even make 7's in the Mexican Lottery brand. Hard to not bend everything sharp by just resting your hand in the strings and fretboard!
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker Yeah man you need a delicate touch, the complete opposite of how I hold my guitars. I play them like they owe me money. Could never do a scalloped board.
Hello from the uk 🇬🇧 Marty these are fantastic lessons I loved the ace frehley ones keep up the great work 🤘
Superb! This is fabulous. Thanks for sharing.🙏
Lovely these tunes. Thanks again for the lessons Marty 😊
You're welcome dude!! Thanks so much for your support, I sincerely appreciate it!
@Ranch5150SkinWalker no problem Marty. I will try and upgrade in the future as well.

Billy is the man!! 😎🎵🤟🏻🍺
Thank you Marty ! I was just listening to Eliminator yesterday! 😂
Awesome man! Killer tone and nice clear instruction.
Brilliant, thanks!😊
Awesome thank you Marty 🤘🤘🤘
Good stuff much appreciated 👍
You're very welcome Bob. 🍺
great job and explanation. thanks
Great tone! I love ZZTop. I think Deguello was really the start of their rise. Billy is a lazy player and he admits it openly. He uses SEVENS! LOL. He has very interesting and unique turn arounds.
7's are so dang light!! I tried them. Can't stay in tune. I bend them pitchy just resting my hand on the frets. Haha
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker agreed.but I do use eights now. Lol. I'm old and have arthritis. Mine stay in tune well, as long as I have locking tuners.
Awesome, thanks Marty!
Thanks Jim! 😎🎵
Nice les paul
@@jimgibson7275 thanks man! It's an 06 Custom Shop R8. It's super hot.
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker nice, I got a 03 les paul classic, love it
..this is good...thank you sir..
Thanks! Keep up the Van Hagar lessons too. Good ZZ Top songs for a RAT pedal. Great GenX tunes. Another tune I hope you could look at sometime - Fell on Black Days by Soundgarden
ZZ Top is a lot like AC/DC. Plenty of great tunes and riffs but it doesn't take long before everything starts sounding the same.
Thanks Marty! Great lesson! Only thing to change, maybe, is you coulda used your white furry Explorer to really seal the deal. With strap spinner, of course .
Haha!! True. I actually sold my white explorer a while back to buy the R8 in this video! Ironic!
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker irony...ain't it a hoot!
All these videos that a pubescent kid seen in the 80's. Babes,cars and rock n roll
Yep! 🍺🎵🎵🎵🤟🏻
Great lessons. Much appreciated. I would really like if you mentioned just fret numbers instead of note names. I have a feeling that I'm not alone in saying that a bunch of us watching have not memorized the fretboard yet .
No offense but you should learn the fret board . It's nice to know and it's valuable later on in your playing .
@buff daddy totally agree. It's been on the to do list but time is unfortunately not a luxury and between enjoying playing, practicing and life, the fretboard takes a backseat!
Hey Marty, do you know I got your six by ZZ Top
Great song. I need to brush up on it. I need to do some more ZZ!
Killer tone on this one. How do you get it? Another great lesson.
Thanks!! Fractal AX 8 for TH-cam. Friedman BE patch. Delay and reverb in protools. 🤟🏻
How about Low Down In The Street
I think Billy recorded most of this record with a custom made Dean destroyer
Billy used pearly gates on all ZZ Top Records. That’s what Billy said
no tabs? what's the point? do I have to pause the video and zoom every 2 seconds?
Marty why are you changing the way that you teach? I liked it better the way you were doing it before and the tablature was very helpful.🤔

@@dorfsteen no worries man. I will keep the tabs coming. Just have been super busy past 2-3 weeks. Will die down soon!
Dude why no tabs?
Possibly time constraints when I released. I have a lot of planes in the air at all times. 🎸🤷
Así no es
Stop saying "Really cool" Man. And Eddie got a hair cut!
Wow Marty my man dude i am a guitarist to im on TH-cam as well i play alot of cool videos to !!
