I Thank You - ZZ Top | Guitar Lesson

[@pablodebiddlybo3771]

The Reverend never wastes a note. Love the old ZZ top tunes

[@if6turnedouttobe9]

The way u described Billy at 1:00 is the best articulation I've ever heard...That's as accurate as u can get...Thank u for all the great lessons...

[@allenvangorder8989]

Your teaching style works well for me. I'm not a good player but you've made me so much better. "You didn't have to make it like you did, but you did, but you did. And I thank you!"

[@12footchain]

Thank so much! Glad you are getting stuff out of these!

[@MLFranklin]

Thank you so much for sharing your tone settings. Not everyone does that, but it's important.

[@Weshopwizard]

OH YEAH!!!!!! Now you’re digging in to the good stuff. For the lesson……I thank you!!!!!

[@shakeyblues5128]

Love Billy's licks. Hard to believe he plays on 7's I play on 9's myself, but he does say why have to play harder Nice 12 Ft ♪♫♪♫♪♫

[@MegaGuitarpicker]

I was listening to this album today and think your next lesson should be "A Fool For Your Stockings" . Thanks for these great lessons! You Rock!

[@gunsmoke3006]

AMEN!!!!

[@CastlesMadeOf...]

A great example of tone being in the fingers. Love BFG!!

[@MegaMarPaul]

[@jeffcomeau4680]

You’ve got some very thorough lessons, my good man! Great tunes. Keep ‘em coming. Love what yer doin. How bout doing some Allman Brothers at some point?

[@fredfloyd68]

Tell ya what ya got the sound right.. And its the sound that grabs ya..

[@jeanpat8946]

brillant lesson !

[@sdriza]

sounds ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL out of my darn phone.... i gotta get my stereo rig going again

[@Mangoshake2021]

Would interesting if you mentioned how he plays it live. ‘I Thank You’ for this fine lesson.

[@kennethmccann630]

Fantastic. Thankx! I heard The Rev uses a Peso for a plectrum. I can't say that he always does, but I used to prefer metal picks (currently prefer Tortex).... and they definitely give it a bit more -- bite? I've tried plenty of different coins as well, though never a Peso. Imo, a US dime sounds the best. A very pleasing sound. A dime is somewhat difficult to use cos of how small they are.... though that also lends itself well to pinch harmonics. Keep em comin, my friend. Can't get enough of this channel!

[@jimsteele9559]

Love your lessons. Might I suggest Balinese? But whatever you do, I’ll be tuning in. Thanks for what you do. Peace.

[@huwwilliams709]

excellent

[@thomasmccullagh1300]

awesome!

[@jasonashley4579]

Best song to listen to after you get a piece.

[@timh7156]

Great job explaining!

[@MarioF-ws2eq]

I thank you, great class🤘

[@Mike-lj1cj]

You nailed it sounds like Billy

[@francapitanelli9775]

Sounds great! 💯

[@12footchain]

Thank you!

[@SweetPicklenation]

Thank you!

[@1982joe1982]

Can you imagine Gibbons relaxin at home watchin these videos and given a nod to the good ones - how cool - you know he is watchin - hope he is reading comments - Hey Billy - love the stories of the bait shop amplifiers, the house painter with your Gibson Moderne, the don't work so hard light string gauges - oh yeah and what year Peso for a pick do you need to get that tone? Great interpretation of this song - keep up the good work

[@louielouie5120]

Love ZZ Top!! Great song and video!

[@iankeel7914]

That's exactly how you play pinched harmonics, but very small adjustments to the point on the string were the thumb hits makes a difference to how the harmonic sounds.

[@rufusevans7844]

Just been ploughing through some of your Jimmy Page lessons. How about a Celebration Day from zep III. Or Since I've Been Loving You?

[@wooferdevlin3571]

Wouldn't it be great if there was a Pinched Harmonics Pedal?! Chords would sound insane.

[@ThorBonloveng]

There is such a pedal. It’s called Zakk Wylde 😂😜

[@azguitar]

Good tutorial, but during the verses, Billy plays thumb-over at the 5th fret, grabbing the A there, with the C and D triads being alternated underneath. You can clearly see him doing that at Live at Daryl's, and 1980's Old Grey Whistle Test performances.

[@VeloVagabond]

Just recently found your channel. Great stuff! If you're in the mood to do some more of the Reverend Willie G, would love to see a lesson on my favorite ZZ Top tune - I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide

[@12footchain]

Welcome, glad you found it! That song is def on my list

[@williamlancaster786]

Fantastic How about Chevrolet!

[@ianchappell2907]

Chevrolet next please?

[@JasonT-xp3kh]

This is the first ZZ Top song I can remember hearing as a kid in the 70's. It's always been one of my favorites. It's really slick with the chorused out clean rhythm and that snotty lead over it. It always made me imagine driving around at night trying to pick up some pussy, lol.

[@if6turnedouttobe9]

Great lesson on one of my top ZZ songs...and the list is long...

[@normanwaller2924]

I think that's a cover.

[@12footchain]

Yep, Sam & Dave

[@acadianr2leger]

If ever you decide to do more ZZ TOP lessons it would be nice to hear master of the sparks, luv your channel keep at it 🤘🏻

[@allenvangorder8989]

I did not know it was a cover. I thank you for turning me on to that. S & D did it killer, too. My old aging self still loves discovering new (to me) things and I would not have without great channels like 12 chains.

[@jameselliano1203]

First Lesson... Maybe don't use a Strat. DUH!
