[@WilliamofKent]

Super lesson! I really value the content you created for this channel, and your enthusiasm is infectious!

[@12footchain]

Thank you very much, super generous!

[@bigsidable]

I'm 69. And made my dad drive me 50 miles to get Tres Hombre. Saw the in Pittsburgh 1973. Got c thrown off stage at their concert with J.Giles and BTO. FUCKING GREAT TIMES. I. IN A BAND TODAY BECAUSE OF ZZTOP.

[@balke7935]

I 100% agree with you about Billy Gibbons. He’s the king of being absolutely in the pocket. Never too much, just the perfect phrase for what is needed. One of the most tasteful players ever in my eyes.

[@BOGATA9]

As a drummer, I find Billy's guitar style to have s great tone and expensive notes that fit the song perfectly. A true legend! Great Job!

[@1099Kramo]

I totally agree with you about the lead playing in this song. One of my favorite Billy Gibbons solos.

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

That whole album is a lesson in perfect solos.

[@user-lk9ip2kl4k]

Its funny, but the slide that he does right when they go into the chorus is my favorite part of the song 😂 the tone makes the slide is perfect!

[@reiniclever]

Tanks- I stopt my guitar playing 1987 - now I Beginn wichtig the Age of 67 New- now i will Player the Songs of my Generation an I learn from you- transportieren an greetings from Austria 😊

[@hugginjohnny5934]

Never to late, I'm 63

[@DavidFleming-st4vg]

I'm pretty much the same. I am itching to get my guitar and distortion pedal out. After watching this young guitarist.

[@jeffatkins8103]

Keep em coming! Love Billy Gibbons!

[@lperry65]

Great lesson, any chance you can do a video on the outro sole please :)

[@MichaelSmith-ig8bw]

Great job! Billy F is one of my favorites. His solos aren't a million notes, just the right ones! It's all feel and vibe. And double stops.

[@stratman9449]

You can never do to much zztop lessons......never......cheers....

[@darrylmoore127]

Not Surprised your in Nashville Area with your playing ability and You are Great at Teaching, Lot of fortunate guitar players getting your info to help them on their way or helping guitarist in Bands . AWSOME JOB as ALWAYS

[@migbgold3191]

Great lesson -- if you have any interest in expanding your ZZ portfolio of lessons, I'd love to see a Rough Boy lesson here.

[@hugginjohnny5934]

That lead has some real soul to it. Great job on the playing it!!!

[@todd9437]

Love how you move through quickly. I can grab the parts I can hear easily and labor on the ones that take a little more dexterity. Thank you

[@lisamurphy9190]

Man that solo wails 😅thanks for sharing

[@toddmayer6859]

I very much appreciate your stories and lessons. Something I just realized about Billy Gibbons is that he never overplays. I think about lead guitar like an actor in a movie. To overplay a scene does not make it better. So much of the time it is something so reserved, maybe seeming to be underplayed .. .but it is played just right. That comes across in a more believable and overwhelming manner. Billy Gibbons, BB King, George Harrison, Mark Knopfler, John Fogerty ... they all have that in common. Tasteful melodic playing you can pretty much hum along with. The flashy guitar players are mind-blowing ..... but to me ... that is like putting 20 TB of chili powder in a recipe that calls for 2TB. There is a blues guitar player who as a young teen played on a talk show with BB King. After the then young guitarist finished playing, BB said to him: "Son ... can I give you a word of advice?" The kid said, "Of course, BB." BB then said, "Your guitar is like a voice .... and it's saying too much." I cannot find a video of that ... but I recall it. And that blues guitarist still overplays to this day. I respect him .... but I much prefer the seasonings of BB King.

[@jimcrowell5093]

Great job🎸👍learned those squeakerz with a fender heavy teardrop taste of side pick and thumb meat 😆 yes back in the 80's

[@listairgin]

Really great lesson and demo TFC. Thanks for explaining the chord shapes and so importantly the various broken chord forms and their placement in the solo and riffs. This puts you among the top end of the KZbin guitar tutors. Thank you! 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠👌🏻

[@gergemall]

Thanks! I love it!…..!

[@12footchain]

Thank you!

[@toms3664]

[@robertshirley3422]

Billy is such an excellent player!! 🎶🎵🎶🎸

[@transformer889]

[@revampman]

Great way of describing Billy's playing!

[@Clive007]

This is quite simply the best lesson for this song, the breakdown, the description and the method used for this tutorial is superb. Thank you!

[@12footchain]

Thank you, much appreciated

[@DavidFleming-st4vg]

the best zz top lesson going around

[@danstringer7610]

I love Gimme all your Lovin and BFG! I can’t believe I’m jus now finding your video. Excellent lesson and your tone killer! Thanks for posting.

[@sleggarri]

Great job! His lead work is so melodic. Dig all ZZ Top's riffs and licks.

[@pierreg1340]

WOW, you are doing a great job. You got my mojo going.this morning.

[@matteovrizzi]

such a wonderful guitar solo

[@craigvanest2415]

Absolutely amazing breakdown! And thank you!! If you want another Billy Gibbons song, please check out “Good Love” by the Black Keys and Billy… I think you’d love the tones. And thanks,

[@achimzuhlke239]

Came across so many tutorial videos for guitar on youtube, but this one is unique because it teaches WITHOUT telling me what my gear has to be, where I have to put my fingers, how to achieve this exact copying style of the distributor. It is more about feel and taste and respect for the music that it is referring to. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of this song and greetings from Hamburg, Germany.

[@12footchain]

Thank you! Greetings.

[@Pstaines439]

What a great lesson. No BS. Thanks

[@WilliamofKent]

Thanks!

[@12footchain]

Thanks Bill. Much appreciated!

[@toneloke7489]

Divinely ordained solos, played on the Pearly Gates Les Paul, 😇 great lesson, thanks!

[@DannyGatton94]

That’s what I needed to learn, thanks for the breakdown!

[@freddyfender562]

Subscribed.........You are the best teacher I have seen on here......Thank you !!!❤❤

[@stuartoneill3470]

fantastic lesson man, i found various tabs for this tune and none of them stacked up to what I was hearing on the record. Thanks for laying out these riffs so well. Rev Willie G is such an awesome player

[@davehappablap5549]

Love this. Your lessons are the best. Clear. Accurate. No nonsense. Enjoyable. Thanks man.

[@whittlad]

Just lovin your lesson and your tone and technique has hit the nail on the head. Greetings from the UK

[@12footchain]

Thanks man! Greetings and welcome. Glad to have you here.

[@freddiefreeman4119]

I learnt it from here after playing it wrong years ago, and now it’s back in the set. Excellent lesson.

[@12footchain]

Great to hear!

[@paulmcmillan6010]

[@12footchain]

Welcome! Tell your friends!

[@altonwilliams7117]

You make playing the guitar fun!👍🎸🎵

[@12footchain]

thank you!

[@ZigbertD]

I remember exactly where I was when I first heard this song. Parked on the beach one night with my girlfriend during my senior year of high school, a couple of months before graduation. Just about to leave to get her home on time (her parents would have had me beheaded if I didn't). Radio on, DJ says, new one from ZZ Top, this is called "Gimmie All Your Lovin". Instantly hooked, "Wait hold on, I gotta hear this." Just an immediate rush of knowing you're hearing a great song for the first time. I can distinctly remember reacting to the ending, after the last chorus where they just vamp on C, and Billy solos some more, a little looser than the brilliant solo you demonstrated, then THE ABSOLUTE COOLEST part of the whole song, he does that repeating lick down at the 3rd fret of just C-Bb-G, all full of pinch harmonics, then the bass drops out entirely and he's just vamping on C-Bb. I don't know why, but that part just jumped out at me, and I turned to my sweetheart 17 year old girlfriend (I still know her today, still a sweetheart), and I'm like "Ah man, that's so cool!". She dug the song, not sure she got why I was so excited about that part specifically, but then again, neither am I. Forty+ years later though, it's still the best part of an awesome song to me. As for pinch harmonics, I guess I do the most common thing of just lowering my thumb on the tip of the pick and brushing across the string with outer edge of my thumb. It's important where on the string you pick to hit the right harmonics For some reason the key of C is really easy to find that spot for me. I kind of have a harder time nailing "La Grange" in the key of A, not sure what that's about.

[@jeffmorga7111]

Just a thought.. Move your pick/hand closer or further from the bridge.. They are at/on every note..you just need to MAKE THEM HAPPEN,

[@robbeygreene6962]

Great tone first off and playing and great teaching bro

[@18thandMission]

You nailed it 100% Great tone and playing. Working on this one..chipping away. Thanks for the lesson

[@toddknaster9731]

Awesome lesson and playing! and “your” tone is also great. I totally agree about BFG always playing the perfect riff/lick and always in the pocket. Also, nice guitar collection!

[@12footchain]

Thank you kindly!

[@johnross5722]

You playing that off the top was crazy good

[@tonyleeglenn]

Excellent lesson. Thanks so much for that brother!

[@An2oine]

[@kellygrudzinski184]

Love that Les Paul, that red!

[@darrylmoore127]

Anything else wouldn't do it. I knew it was in C solo area Bass player over 40 yrs . I have been playing different Robin Trower songs lately. Which might make some good lessons at some time

[@rexmonarch2]

Smokin' lesson -- bravo.

[@jonathanmiller8131]

Hay man don't forget when Billy plays this live that intro I noticed he taps a harmonic with his right hand and let's it Ring to give it dynamic but I don't know exactly what not he is hitting but it's sounds badass

[@eroks59]

[@toneloke7489]

1000% correct about Mr. Billy Gibbons, your tone and playing are spot on!!!!

[@gergemall]

YES, SO FAR THE TOP ZZ Top guitarist ❤’ very impressive and I’m so excited. Billy comes to the Magnatone Amplifier manufacturing facility here in St. Louis , Missouri.Killer Vintage amazing guitar shop and luthiers’ it’s four blocks from me.’ I love the man . The Reverend is a musicologist, genius , inventor and a SUPER TALENTED MUSICIAN AND A SUPER NICE MAN . HE HAS A HEART OF GOLD. I LOVE THAT YOU PROVIDE THE TONES IM LOOKING FORL I sold all my professional gear couple decades ago, but I’m getting back into it because I just want to master some . The of the guitar stuff on my bucket list. I’m really blessed to be here studying under you . I’ve sold my Princeton at my fender twin most to stop by the small Marshall practice amp. I still have a cabinet from England to Marshall. Maybe I can get a stack on it but I really would like to try to imitate the sound . I so appreciate your help and I joined Patreon last night and I’m going to print out some of the materials you’re providing. I’ve played for over fifty years and I’m pleased to be working on it and growing. I’m 68 years old and have some health issues past three plus and I’m blessed my fingers and hands are working very well unlike many others my age .

[@gregspittle3256]

Thankyou for another great lesson, I’m a big fan ZZ Top too. If your going to show us some more Billy G. Please consider Thunderbird off of their Fandango album. This song has a smokin rhythm guitar and a killer iconic lead ride. Thanks again for all you do.

[@trafyknits9222]

Wow, that is impressive. Tone is spot on, and you've nailed the licks. Outstanding!!

[@normandoyle4090]

[@johnsanchez3607]

Very tasty riffs great explanation thk You!

[@ronjon4891]

Nailed it. Pinch harmonics and all.

[@robertshirley3422]

You put together a great tone for this tutorial. Tasty excellent playing, too!! I've read that Billy used smaller amps to record many of these songs. Isn't there a custom Texas amp builder that Billy often uses?? Your Les Paul sounds killer.

[@12footchain]

thank you

[@lockhartflawse1225]

Great job! Thanks and subscribed.

[@patlav3848]

Very good lesson

[@LukasDozer]

Perfect, you're great bro.

[@12footchain]

Thanks!

[@ThePrickel]

Very good!!! And good feeling! 😇🎸

[@TheAlbumsThatMadeMe]

Finding the initial intro lead really challenging. Just cant seem to get from the G10th back to the A8th E8th quick enough, plus my initial bend is inconsistent. More practice is needed, and this lesson definitely helps 👍
