ZZ Top - Just Got Paid Guitar Lesson

[@rangerdoc1029]

THIS is how product demos should be done. KZbin is full of lessons. KZbin is full of product demos. But to do a lesson while showcasing a product... Genius!

[@patrickladucer4118]

I appreciate that your lesson is with the slide. Some of the other lessons. I've seen don't. That separates your lessons as more accurate. Your lesson is A +

[@marcblum5348]

what a hell of a guitar tone!

[@gorbashuk]

Great lesson of a mighty ZZtop riff!! This boy can play.

[@Lieutenant_Dude]

It's amazing the tones you can get with a very lightly pushed clean amp, a fuzz face, and judicious use of the volume knob. Everything short of extreme metal is possible.

[@bon2198]

Finally someone who plays it right! All lessons I see are between 5 and 7. Yet any video of Billy playing is 3 and 5. Great job!

[@DSilverwood]

The difference is E tuning vs. standard tuning.

[@TheStones1965]

Billy Gibbons would say great job on this.

[@briejulien1]

Watched a lesson before this and it looked like work and sounded like it. Billy likes playing easy. Thanks for showing how.

[@blues62751]

Andy....you're riffing is awesome dude !

[@tompulkowski5204]

I really needed to see your right hand alternate picking to get this riff down at speed. Thanks!

[@MJSNEAKERHEAD2003]

Wow! Awesome! Love the tone! Cannot beat a Les Paul Standard with the right pedals and amp. Rock on! Excellent.

[@70mjc]

I love you your playing and your knowledgeable, unpretentious style of teaching. Your opinions are also valued as they ate subjective and unopinionated.

[@DSeN7]

Playback speed options? GOLDEN.

[@freeelectron8261]

Love Andy's playin' and TONE!

[@dennisbean3203]

A lot easier version then what I was trying to learn . Great video Andy

[@BCTGuitarPlayer]

Earnie Ball's smallest slide on the pinky. Aside from myself, I’ve never seen another player do that!

[@anz2441]

song is so much easier in open E like demonstrated here...TU for this great lesson...I listen to a lot of music....but it never gets better for me than Billy Gibbons and Jimi Hendrix

[@DogGuy19]

Best lesson if this song that I have found, thanks Andy, you kick the snot out of this riff!

[@1GuitarHack]

Wow Andy, you are a great guitar player,you can see it in the way you play,,,,the hands don't lie. Always great to watch,and learn from your lesson's.Thanks.

[@ProGuitarShopDemos]

You may have missed that this tune is in Open E.

[@clairegmusician]

Didn't miss that at all!!!!!!🎸🎸🎸👍👍👍

[@xander0713]

learned this one. Awesome using the slide.

[@jeansj7027]

Beauty demo as always…best dude in the game!

[@groovology101]

God damn Andy. Such a badass

[@paulreints2279]

Man that sound/tone is awesome.

[@morbidrockgod]

Andy's playing's great, as usual!

[@LMDAVE29]

Man, that was awesome. After 30 years of playing Ibanez's, I just got my first LP standard last week. Loving the ZZ top tone I get with it. I need a slide now though.

[@pramesh.gurung]

Man how does the neck feel??? Playing LP neck after wizard necks can be weird.

[@LMDAVE29]

@@pramesh.gurung Thats the awesome thing about the LP standard 60's, it has a thinner neck profile than the "baseball bat" LP's. Not too thin, but feels good.

[@pramesh.gurung]

LMDAVE29 ok man... was dreaming of getting this year but due to this pandemic all my finance got messed up. Now have to wait for 2 more years 😅😅😅 enjoy you beauty man... 🤘🏽🤘🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@matthewdelap5404]

Perfectly done man !

[@hman930]

You dont always need the whole song fo a lesson to be good,it may reqiure some work on our part to finish it off...fun song to play!

[@Gibson45er]

Great lesson. And dang that Les Paul is beautiful.

[@banjopops67]

Which "burst" is that? It is sharp.

[@kevingalloway7585]

Andy you are a bad-ass man! Your playing is sublime......😎

[@arne.schroeder]

Ooooh yes, thank you for this lesson!!

[@PlayerToBeNamedLater1973]

I wish I'd put more effort in with the slide over the years. I never could get smooth enough with it that I could stand to listen to myself . If I have a resolution this year it is to play slide blues with more dedication. This is a tricky little riff but SO effective . Billy has given us a lot of great riffs and tones and this is one of his best in my estimation. You play the hell out of this pal thanks for taking the time

[@jonathanjohnson8656]

I'm by no means an expert but I have been down the rabbit hole and I wanted to offer one small piece of advice. Try getting different slides of different materials and weights. The one I like best is nothing like other people usually use. I have a few really good ones but the one I use best is a thin one made from brass ( it might be copper, I really don't know) I have a wonderful one made from heavy, thick brass and a friend who is a professional has one just like it. He gets the best tone from anyone I've heard but I can't use mine. Another friend uses glass or chrome. You really can't have too many. Good luck..

[@brucegordon7248]

Love that slide!

[@Blackwood260]

You ROCK Andy!

[@PhilFeedback]

Great lesson video, thanks for posting this video!

[@TheDeadStretch]

I'd LOVE a Ministry Guitar Lesson from Andy!!

[@cecea2630]

I like your lesson I wish I could play like you! thank for great lesson

[@fly1327]

That is a great lesson! Well and product ad. My pinky slide (I think he's using the same one, a Rock Slide) and my Strat (with some distortion) tackling this tomorrow. Such a great tune, thanks!

[@JohnGSchuur]

cool sliding and killer sound..ZZ vibes all over, well done

[@MA-vr8gp]

Great job teaching as always!

[@Bikedueder]

This is the closest I've ever seen to someone nailing Billy's tone. I will be looking into one of these pedals. It's just a wee bit warmer, but very close! Nice lesson. I cannot wait to get my amp out of the shop this week, and get to learning this. I also can't wait to get the Epi Les Paul paid off, so I can do a set up and practice with the proper style of guitar. Nice lesson BTW. VERY helpful!

[@jacobdaniel8239]

I can count on one hand how many times Billy has ever played it in open E, but I'm pretty sure the studio version was indeed recorded in that tuning so this is legit.

[@ProGuitarShopDemos]

Any live version here on YT and you’ll see he’s strumming open during the verse- open E every time👍🏻😎

[@jacobdaniel8239]

@@ProGuitarShopDemos I went back and looked. You're right. I stand corrected. He plays it open E at least 80% of the time. I was wrong.

[@jeffrey8086]

Oh that's MEAN....love it

[@i3oosted]

yay riff of the day is back!

Excellent!!!

[@stefanhamilton8713]

Hi Andy I just want to say how much I enjoy your demos, but first I want to remind you about Free Pedal Friday...

[@dieselyeti]

What a great hook that song has; I've watched Bonamassa's live cover a bunch of times and always assumed it was in standard tuning. Doh!! Open E is *much* easier.

[@lakefield2112]

fan-freaking-tastic

[@curtmanners1182]

I'd rather watch Andy's guitar lessons than listen to the radio.

[@JohnShalamskas]

Even playing the same song as on the radio, Andy just blows it away. The radio compresses the living crap out of music these days. And the newer the release of a CD is, the more compressed the music becomes. That's probably the last straw that got me to start learning how to play the guitar a couple years ago. Now I wish I had started 45 years ago, it's really fun!

[@curtmanners1182]

That compression crap is so bad I can't seem to get a song turned up loud enough.

[@hbgutubeinfo]

Great find, love your style!

[@baronsecuna]

Lesson starts at about 2:09...very cool...love the sound

[@millershane71]

Nice playing Andy, probably the best of this riff I've seen, thanks for covering. Do you ever play any old Cult songs, like from Love or Sonic Temple? Love, no pun intended some old Cult, I've been working on Edie as of late

[@olddoggeleventy2718]

Groovy, Hip , and Far Out Man. Beware the green acid...thanx!

[@fredgarvin9262]

SWEET!

[@MrStu9459]

One day I'm gonna get me a Les Paul just like that one! Then I'm going to take lessons from Andy...:)

[@WildBillMojo]

The original ZZ Top recording sounds to me like it's in open E as described here, but there's footage around of The Rev. Willie G playing it in Open E and in Standard tuning. Older stuff seems to be Open but newer (e.g. Cross Roads) seems to be Standard. The Joe Bonnamassa at the Royal Albert Hall gig is in Standard tuning, and I've seen him do it live in Standard.

[@Phangmaster]

It's easy to play in either, a quick look at youtube shows him playing it in open E which surprised me, but I remembered he often changes guitar just for this track.

[@thekolt533]

like any master who's been doin it for a lifetime I think Billy just likes to change things up now and again to help keep it fresh and interesting. "We never play a song the same way twice" S.R.V.

[@dleifmon]

Good start...

[@AllOnTheFly]

Great playing as always from Andy. Anyone know where to get this backing track? Best one I have heard

[@toddweller]

Nice job!

[@Mr59coconut]
