Just Got Paid - Bonamassa/ZZ Top cover 2

My second version of Joe Bonamassa's take on ZZ Top's "Just Got Paid". Slightly different this time, with an extra Theremin ditty in the middle.
THE BACKING TRACK IS AVAILABLE!!!
The app I used to create the Theremin sound is "Bebot".
I'm playing a 2012 59 reissue Les Paul Standard, into my pedal board (Bonamassa Wah - 1980 Tube screamer - MXR Micro Flanger ..... In the loop, Boss DD3 - Boss RV5) All patched into a custom made interface by 4114 Effects. Then into a Friedman Small Box 50 into a Marshall 2x12 with Vintage 30's.

Well I just watched this, took all my guitars out in the yard to set them on fire, and come back in to comment on this piece of art!

[@scottwilliamson1279]

😂

[@Slickycapo]

Dude just happened to stumble across this, blew me away, it was a pleasure listening to you play. Thank you. A++

[@RonnyBGoode]

Great job. But i was waiting the whole time for your mom to come into the door and tell you to calm down.....😂😂😂

I’m floored! Just incredible. Brilliant tone, playing, and complete attention to detail.

[@malthomson554]

Tom, this is without doubt the best cover of any of Bonamassas' songs that I have heard. Your tone, timing and pitch are spot on. Such a credit to you. You should be very proud, the Bonamassa style is so unique and you have it.

[@TomHarlock]

Thanks so much for your comment, I really appreciate it! Remember, it is a ZZ Top song, Joe just spiced it up.

[@roncolpo3731]

Tom I have watched this vidio on numerous occasions, the other day I pulled over the car to look it up on you tube to listen to it as I was driving home....fantastic!

[@andrewsutton7007]

You've absolutely nailed this Tom - congrats. xx

[@longsnapper5381]

Leave it to 12 jagoffs to give that a thumbs down. Gave me chills man. Exemplary effort. Really enjoy this version of one this old guy's favorite Top songs.

[@TomHarlock]

Longsnapper 53 thanks for your kind words 🤟🏻

[@bobtrice6312]

Yeah!! REALLY??? Let THAT GUY post a better versioon-----NOT!!!!!

[@MrJoker2112]

This guy is totally off the chain. I keep watching it over and over. I wish I could play like that.

[@rip-vanwinkle]

I wish i could give you three thumbs up but I only have 2 hands. Extremely well done!

[@bobsherohman9670]

Nice job! It was more than I expected to see on a random YT video. The Bebot was a very cool addition! I'll be checking out more from you.

[@bmfilmnut]

Outstanding! I can't tell from the original. On second thought, it's better than the original. You, sir, are a true master. After watching this, I think I'm going to sell my guitars and take up gardening.

[@BenScott777]

Wonderful playing man! Tone is sublime 👌👌

[@slimeylimey]

That’s some seriously impressive fretwork. I really enjoyed it. Very tasty. 👍

[@stevenpritchett4933]

Dadgum, man. That was an awesome cover. Joe might be a little envious.

[@jasonkeith9317]

Dude u rock well done sir well done!!!

[@Mrabandab]

Didn't know Dustin Hoffman also shredded

[@ExploitTheVibe369]

Sort of does look like him, disguised as John Oliver

[@NeilKohlen]

haha:D

[@timidater4803]

I was thinking the same!!LOL!

[@klaytonvonkluge4905]

😁

[@shanealan2995]

Rain man

[@NtroPtoXtroP]

Dude! Wow, I’ll have to admit that at first I was pretty skeptical. And the skepticism didn’t fade immediately. It took awhile. But then you lit it up. I loved the White Snake part. This was impressive. You are a boss in noob’s clothing. I enjoyed the hell out of that.

[@Byers5150]

Damn bro....I was thinking you were Bonamassa until I refreshed my memory....Now youve got me hooked on learning this. Good job

[@67er_matze97]

well done my friend !! great sound and playing + stunningly beautiful guitar

[@wavemanmav9073]

Fantastic cover. Really love Joe's take on this song, particularly adding the Still of the Night segment.

[@peterburman5419]

Jeeezzz!! 💪🤘🏻

[@magnumopus8163]

My first time seeing this video. Awesome job! just absolutely killer guitar work. Joe would be proud I'm sure. I'm a fan! I've been working on that song off and on for about a year or so and I'm nowhere near that level. I'm a life long guitar player and a huge Bonamassa fan so props to you Tom. Great job!

[@scottwilliamson1279]

Wow. I love your phasing & speed combo ❤

[@ljephotography]

Waow! Well done sir 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@mitchgriggs9142]

I love Bonamassa. And you, are an awesome and talented guitarist....simply outstanding. I really enjoyed watching your performance. Well done!

[@DesertScorpionKSA]

The guitar tone is really good and close Joe's tone. This is very good and relaxed. Excellent playing.

[@KeithGrommes]

Out-freaking-standing!!!! Liked/subscribed!

[@Ringocharger]

You have reached the pinnacle!! A big fan of Bonamasa’s version and you killed it! He would be proud if he saw this! He would probably reach out to you. Wish you would do a tutorial on this. I would pay mega! Fantastic great job!

[@markn4526]

Just came across this...excellent playing!!!

[@rubenrojas2501]

Outstanding, just outstanding, thanks for sharing this incredible performance.

[@rmccallum1966]

Okay that was the sickest thing I've seen. Wish I could play like that. Love that ZZ top riff with your own spin on it. Nice job 👍👍

[@johnjohnson3709]

Damn, you are fantastic!! I been playing along with you on this. I just relearned this song. I subscribed.

[@johnjohnson3709]

What sort of progression are you using when you’re just jamming? Looks like maybe 2 chords.

[@cannadaincowboy]

What a run with no mistakes great chops.

[@MikeChuk]

Awesome, very nice playing. Great guitar.

Wow, just wow! Incredible playing, so clean and tight. Awesome stuff!

[@jamesmacdon9351]

Nice work !! 👍👏🎶🎵👑

[@erwinerwin1245]

I have watched Joe Bonamassa do this song 20 times on KZbin as I love it I for a while thought that you were faking it. Like guitar not plugged in, and your fingers just moving with the song that was playing. Well by the end I came to the conclusion that I was wrong and you were playing it...........Man you are one amazing guitar player. Incredible. Just as good as Joe on this song.

[@TomHarlock]

Erwin Erwin thanks for the kind words. It’s definitely me playing ... promise

[@normandelaneysolopiano]

HOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!! You just melted my face off!!! Thank You!

[@TomHarlock]

Hahaha amazing!! Cheers Norman

[@Heritageride]

Cheers dude, much appreciated 🤟🏻🤟🏻

[@bigbaldblues3417]

Dude, this is what I've been looking for. Thank you so much for posting this. In 20 years when I finally might be able to play this, I'll be sure to link back to you w/ my video.

[@matthewkennedy7283]

I won’t take you 20 years, just really gotta grind

[@MyJAMES1951]

Tom , as a bassist i enjoy your work

[@drumcrazy72]

That's just outstanding. It's amazing what thousands of hours practice can achieve. Well done buddy.

[@klimt-Art]

Bravo man

[@geraldwardrop]

outstanding brother,, awesome version

[@MSStateBulldawg83]

Good job! Excellent!!!

[@davidzobel3778]

Most excellent, Tom. Not just accurate note wise, but you caught all the touch & picking subtleties. You should be proud (but not overly so, of course, need to keep climbing). Where did that backing track come from?

[@TomHarlock]

Hi David, thanks for your comment. I made the backing track myself, I put it on KZbin for others to use - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJqoZX-bfZaga9E

[@kevinkeffaber7162]

By far my favorite zztop song, and I love the way Joe played it. And you nailed it, tone and all. Great job.

[@flalawdog71]

Simply outstanding.

[@johnanderson2112]

That was badass!

[@dangehn665]

This is a GREAT cover!!

[@dwightmcdaniel5082]

[@tfigmoney520]

insanely good job dude. definitely like the spin you put on it too

[@PowellGuide]

Awesome job!! JoeB is the man and you did yourself proud

[@duffield55aj]

Excellent, not easy to play, well done. JB is the man, if you can play his material, you are doing well. What amp and pedals did you use for that?

[@michaelnorman2967]

Great job on a great ZZ Top song!.

[@allenmahan9393]

Love your burst! (Ive got a Leo Jaymz LP copy ... Someday, a real one!)

[@romanoconti9358]

Super!! Hi from Italy🎸🎸🇨🇮🇨🇮

[@FineArtbyAldo]

Awesome rendition! 🤘🔥🤘

[@rockerdog65]

Wow, just Awesome! I love this song, and your version just put a big smile on my face. I would give my left arm to play like that, haha! If I practice hard for another 5-10 years, maybe I might end up half as good! And thanks for offering up your excellent backing track - you are a gentleman as well as a master craftsman.

[@richarddeckard8143]

You killed that, man. I actually like your arrangement better than Joe's.

[@ront5729]

Very well done Sir Nice!!!!

[@andrestrat]

Just wonderful! love the 4:00 part...

[@jasonturgeon5625]

Really nice man crisp.and crunchy tune I love it.

[@kbroomall]

Sick man! Love this cover

[@francoisparadis6455]

Tom I come back to your video quite often to get more ideas for my own version that I play with my freinds. I have to confess that I stole a line from you at 3:36m in your video, it is a great idea and it is part of my interpretation evreytime I play this song now. Now! I always wanted to ask what is the app on your iphone your using at around 5:14 If you don't mind me stealing another great idea from you. Thanks for this really inspiring version, it is great playing and i love it. Kindly from Quebec Canada

[@Fotznerwin27]

ZZ Top already played this song before Bonamassa was born, kinda hilarious... Awesome cover!

[@bimwopbarn47]

man, that is beautiful!
