What's up?
What's up?
ZZ Top with legs.
Her request of, where is that at?
Man I [A] should look at this ahead of time.
_ It is for Andrew Smith.
Great [Abm] request man.
It's a couple different little guitar things going on.
So if you hear some pockets of emptiness, _ that's why.
Start with an E major.
So you're 2A, 2D, 1G.
[E] _ _ _ _ _
Strum everything.
_ So it's like 2, 3, 4.
_ Then go down, up, down.
_ _ _ 3, 4.
Then go up to open E, 7A, 9D, 9G.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ Okay.
Real bluesy pentatonic riffs here from Billy Gibbons. _ _ _ _ _
_ 9D, 7G.
_ [G] And do a hammer on, a quick hammer on [Am] to 9G.
_ [Gb] And then pick right after that.
_ _ _ Also palm mute that D.
[E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [E] Okay, then repeat it.
_ _ And [A] then he goes middle finger 8B. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ Half step bend.
[Ab] And then cut it off.
Don't release the bend.
[E] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [E] And then he does it again.
_ _ _ And then this time he pulls off from the 9G [N] to the 7D. _ _
Or [E] to the 7G. _ _ _ _
And then back to the _ _ _ _ _ first one.
And then go over to a D major chord, which is 5A, 7D, 7G, 7B.
[D] Strum it.
_ 2, 3, 4.
Down, 2, 3, 4. _ _
[Dm] Follow me on that?
Down.
_ Down, up, down.
_ _ _ [Ab] And then back to 7A, 9, 9, 9.
D, G, and A.
[E] And then open E and open B. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Do the same thing there.
_ There's a secondary little guitar melody line running _ back behind that.
2, 3, 4. _ _ _ _
[A] Take [Gb] your middle finger, go to around fret 15 on the E or [Ab] 17.
_ _ _ And you don't want to hear the start note.
We're going for the slide through the [E] ribs.
_ _ And then go three upstrokes on the open E and open B. _
This _ _ _ _ is why the action is going to be four. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
1, 2, 3, _ 4.
Then go _ [Ab] 4G, _ pick and slide [Db] to 2.
_ _ _ [A] And then open G, hammer to [Ab] 1.
_ So you [Db] _ _
[Ab] have_
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ And then leave that ringing, put your middle finger on 2D.
_ So we have_
That's a really _ _ cool blues riff just in itself. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
So four times.
One time is this. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Do it again, [N] again, and again.
Then the last [E] one is_ _ _ _ _ _
Let's it ring.
_ _ _ [N] And it does like this_
_ _ The slide on the_
I think it's the B string.
And start wherever.
Like fret 1, you don't hear the 1.
As soon as you pick, slide it way up until your hand stops. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ That type of thing.
So, _ great request.
Thank you.
Go check out my other ZZ Top lessons.
I've got a few more on here that are really good, man.
If you have any questions on this lesson, _ leave it in the comment section.
I'll clear it up for you, okay? _ _ _ _
What else?
_ Be sure to subscribe.
That's one thing to this channel.
Once you've done that, send me your favorite song riffs, pieces.
_ _ Sometimes it may be a verse and a chorus.
Or a verse and _ a bridge.
Or an intro and a verse.
But I try to pick the cool riffs in it.
And I'm giving you the way these bands are actually playing them.
[Gb] Getting the tunings right for you.
And getting these down [N] to the right strings and frets.
So, I don't know.
It's just how I want to do it.
I want to give you the way these bands are playing.
That way, _ when Billy Gibbons retires, you can fill his shoes.
_ That's why. [Dbm] Yeah, yeah.
That's why.
You've got to grow your beard first.
[E] Okay?
My Ultimate Beginner's Guide DVD [F] is ready.
It's $20 for the hardback copy.
Plus shipping.
_ Or you can do the digital download for $20.
Either way, hit us up at _ rockingguitarlessons.com.
We'll get you set up.
And then rockingguitarlessons.com is my website.
My official website that's coming at the end of this year.
Of 2012.
So, and it's $25 to join that site _ a month.
To become a premium member.
It'll have jam tracks, close-ups on both hands.
It's going to be really, really a cool site.
_ Not a big theory-based site.
It's going to be something you can dive into and start taking these nuggets, oops,
and applying them right now.
Rather than having to study a book to learn it.
So, anyways, that's it.
I guess I'll play this on the outro for you.
_ And do me a favor.
Spread the word about me.
Mike Gross and my website, this channel, all that stuff.
And I appreciate you guys.
Thanks a lot.
We'll talk to you later.
