Alright, ZZ Top, looking for some tush.
Yeah, I'm Finbar Finbar Bass.
Please click on the little clicker box and the little YouTube text box down there for
some free video lessons that aren't on YouTube at all if you want those.
And other than that, let's roll right into this one.
Alright, so for the intro of this song you're basically harping on that third fret of the
[G] E string.
That's the rhythm right there.
Right, and you can even slide, slide from the second to the third.
Okay, and that's the intro.
Now when he goes into the lyrics of the song, the verses, you're going to hang on to that
third fret of the E string for four measures.
[C] See, then you're going to switch, just bring your finger up to the A string on the third
fret of the A string and stay on there for one measure.
Then you're going to play two more.
Then [B] you're going to do this number here.
[G]
[C#] That's how you're going to get back down into that third fret.
See, this is very much in a standard blues progression, kind of like a 1-4-5 progression.
So what that's going to look like starting from the third fret of the A [C] string,
[G]
[C] see that?
Do it again slow,
[E] [F] [F#]
[G] just like that.
And that brings you back to the third fret.
And he's going to stay on there, third fret of the E string for two measures.
Then you're going to jump up to the fifth fret of the A string.
[D] [C]
[G] So you're going to go from the fifth fret of the A string back down to the third fret
of the A string.
Then, of course, all the way back to the third fret of the E [D] string.
Again,
[C] [G]
right?
[C#] And then for the little turnaround piece, you're going to be hitting the third, fourth,
and the fifth fret of the A string.
So [D] all together, [C]
[G] [C#] [D]
just like that.
Give that a little vibrato at the end there.
It sounds cool.
[C]
[G] [D]
[F#] And that's the lyrics part of it.
Now for when he goes into the guitar solo, it gets pretty sweet.
You're going to stay on that third fret of the E string for three measures.
[G] Just doing your [G#] standard shuffle there.
And then you're going to do this climb, which you're going to go the third fret of the E,
[G] fourth, fifth, and sixth.
So it's going to look like this,
[A] [A#] just like that.
Third, fourth, [C] fifth, and sixth of the E.
Then that brings you up to the third fret of the A.
[F] [N] You're going to do that again.
Then you're going to go to the fifth fret.
Once again, the third fret of the A.
Fifth fret of the A, third fret.
And then, [D] of course, back down to the third fret of the E.
[C]
[G] [D]
Just like that.
So you see the lyrics [G] part of this and the guitar solo are almost identical, except you
make that sweet climb.
[G#]
[Cm] Just like that.
All right.
ZZ Top, Tush.
Fantastic bass line for beginners to learn because it has very much a groove in it.

[N] It's got a standard blues progression in it, and it's super fun to play.
