How to play Legs by ZZ Top on guitar by Mike Gross - Tutorial

[@LiamGallagher-ts2vu]

My uncle Jimmy loved this song. He was blasting it on the radio on the day he died back on July 8, 1984. He was listening to the song when he died in his car accident. He was my dad’s brother and it makes my dad sad whenever he hears this song because it reminds him of his brother and he misses him so much.

Just saw ZZ Top in concert last night in Dodge city ks. The place went WILD when they played legs so naturally, I had to come home and figure out how to play it. THANKS MIKE!

@@joshfine8941 haha awesome man.

[@Bret-q9p]

Cool lesson

[@purplerocket4300]

Dude, you're the only other person on KZbin that knows how to play that main riff properly. Everyone else sucks at it.

[@rockingguitarlessons]

+Fredrik Björklund :). That's my goal.

[@Ryan-ip7li]

@@rockingguitarlessons I fully agree!

[@hotyogaauburn]

ok Mike. I have been watching your videos for years... The final few minutes of this video is amazing and I think if you started your videos this way, you would get more people signing up for your classes. You are an excellent teacher and an even better player.

[@rockingguitarlessons]

THANKS SO MUCH..IM PRETTY BOOKED UP ALL THE TIME W A WAITINGLIST:)

[@Ryan-ip7li]

Nice bro, right to the point, love it - thank you!

[@Teabonesteak]

Finally someone who got it right. I just watched some dummy try snd teach it I don't know what he was playing but it wasn't Legs.

[@trashboat8530]

Love learning a song that u have a video on

[@__kkilla__kcam4427]

Bro can do OG mac dre and ZZ Top. God I love you bruh.

[@__kkilla__kcam4427]

Stupid auto correct made me say Mac see instead of Mac dre. Good shit dawg

[@Fantwatstic]

The blues riff that carries on right through Legs, as shown at around 3:30, you hear Eds Van Halen dig out a very similar little riff as a really nice opener to one of his solos on "Blues Breaker" on that Star Fleet thing he did with Brian May.

[@srockguitar]

[@srvfan454]

Hey mike, I'm a noob but would you do a Georgia Satellites-Battleship Chains lesson? No one else seems to have it.

[@rockingguitarlessons]

THATS A GOOD BAND THERE

[@rockingguitarlessons]

sure

[@pixelrabbit261]

Great tutorial man! That headstock is really bumming me out though...

[@loveguitars]

Excellent

[@rockingguitarlessons]

[@jasondesjardins7371]

Nice!

[@CamRoberrts]

Hey man! That was great!! I'm a HUGE ZZ Top fan, and I was wondering if you knew how to play Doubleback by ZZ Top....and if you did could you maybe post a video of it? Thank you very much, and that was great!

[@xXa7xftwXx]

great tutorial mike i was wondering if you could show deer dance by system of a down i just got my guitar a week ago and wanna learn a begginer song thanks bro.

[@PC85X]

Late to the party, but great lesson on my fave ZZ song. Also your tone here so juicy 🤤👌

[@rockingguitarlessons]

Thanks for the support 😊

[@danhargrave1018]

Great video! What I really want to find out which I don't seem to be able to find anywhere is... How is that pulsating sound one the rhythm guitar created? Is it a delay effect? Is each pulse strummed? The concert video shows only the bass and lead guitars are being played on stage. No explanation of who is playing the rhythm guitar and how it is getting that pulsing effect.

[@danhargrave1018]

Found it. Its a synth. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWnHqZWeateUl80.

[@painandinjurydoctor]

can u do a tutorial on the guitar solo of this song?

[@godwinbssdd]

Noice... always wanted to know that riff just never knew what this song was called 👍

[@MrAbelone]

Is he playing some sort of Parker guitar?

[@MrAbelone]

I had a nite fly way back and loved it but that horn dig into my chest. If this is a Parker what model is it?

[@rockingguitarlessons]

PARKER FLY

[@MrAbelone]

@@rockingguitarlessons Thank u, I think I’ve found an overseas model that looks like this for appx $400.00. May give it a try.

[@blakeminton7959]

Thanks from sc

[@rockingguitarlessons]

You're welcome from CA.

[@karateka56]

Awesome legs, Mike

[@painandinjurydoctor]

cool thanks. just learning. I've got an Orange amp, what's the best settings for this song?

[@Wow8225]

Hi what guitar are you playing? I'm looking for such a model?

[@rockingguitarlessons]

parker fly

[@guitarplayer5932]

Adam Jerny guitar sounds like fly shit

[@guitarplayer5932]

[@rockingguitarlessons]

+Guitar Player your on it bro

[@kowboybuckshot422]

I know theory-not advanced tho-but I assure you-I can teach you to rock;)Skype contact-rockinguitarlessons

[@jacobdaniel8239]

That blues lick everybody loves is on point man but I ain't so sure on the rest lol. Not hating, not ridiculing, just an opinion.

[@rockingguitarlessons]

I just had fun brotha. Nothing more

[@jacobdaniel8239]

@@rockingguitarlessons that's really all that matters man. Like I said, I aint hating, I'd jam with you any day my man.

[@rockingguitarlessons]

I think standard bro

[@davem8781]

yeah I'll never be able to play this

[@DrFelch]

Ok, but you could’ve at least thrown in the verse part, chorus, maybe a few licks out of the gist of the solo. I learned it out of a book years ago, and forgot how to play only that B-A-G> A flat, and you covered that, so I’m cool.

[@rockingguitarlessons]

I simply did what my sub requested.

[@andyrutkowsky5806]

It doesn't say in the title that this video is only for the intro. Pretty bummed that I spent the time to watch this

[@rockingguitarlessons]

lol big deal...it didnt cost you anything of substance and you got a free lesson either way you look at it.
