Just Got Paid (Bonamassa Cover)

This is my version of Joe Bonamassas' cover of "Just Got Paid" by ZZ Top.
It's very similar to the version he performed in London during the "Tour De Force" dates. I also put in a couple of early riffs by the man himself. There's a few bum notes but hope you like.

[@TomHarlock]

To all the comments regarding the backing track.... I made the backing track myself on my old computer. My old computer broke!!! I was unable to recover the hard drive, so the backing track is lost :( but.... fear not, I'm planning on recording a new version soon, so will make the new backing track available then :)

[@Highstrummer]

Hey Tom, great cover! When you've got the backing track done could you put it up on your channel? I've been working on transcribing Joe's version of this and I'm about 1/2 way through - would be great to have your track to jam along to!

[@TheRycooder]

SCREW ALLl shity comments ANYONE that could give this a thumbs down just DOWN RIGHT JEALOUS...You KICKED ASS....WOW!!

[@jaredsanford386]

Tom Harlock my favorite version of this song. I actually prefer this over Joe. A lot cleaner sounding. Well done, one of my favorite videos!

[@00xanawolf00]

Phenomenal!!! The best I’ve seen and heard!

[@martinrhodes1619]

Been watching this periodically since you produced this 8 (?) years ago. So impressive. Just shared it to FB. Hope you get a ton more well-deserved views.

[@TomHarlock]

Thanks Martin, much appreciated! 🎸

[@Roscoe1279]

Good work. I'm working on JB's 'Just got paid' live from the Apollo. Similar but quite different. 👍

[@nicknavarra7447]

WOW YOU JUST KILLED IT MAN!!!! GREAT JOB!!

[@Ronnie631000]

Excellent. I like how you morphed into the Whitesnake at 3:50 to 5:30. I am going to start learning this tune this weekend. Keep On Rock`en! From Sioux City, Ia. P.S. I have a R8 Les Paul.

[@ckjjclan]

WOW! I guess I've watched this a few times now, and every time I watch it I develop a better and better appreciation for how good this is! Well done.

[@Sammy1962_Sax]

Hey Dude - Your sound and play ist really great

[@jankarlsson8341]

To be fair, Just got paid is not a song by Joe B, it's a ZZ top song.

[@tallpaul1020]

I love your use of the pinkie finger. Thats how i play it, though not as good as you!!! Great playing!!!

[@davesgrowboxesuk7568]

Awesome and really nice clear backing track.

[@rockhart8313]

Really really good. Great tone and excellent playing. Joe would be proud. I was lucky enough to see him perform it at the Albert Hall and Montreux. Your backing track has many fans here, not surprising as it sounds amazing.

[@babbalouie3074]

Great playing Tom! Another youtube prodigy. Good luck with your very promising music career.

[@TomHarlock]

David Gutknecht thank you for your kind words David. There are some awesome players out there that are still “carrying the torch” as you put it. Obviously Joe Bonamassa, but check out Chris Buck, Simon McBride and Kris Barras 🤟🏻
