- In this video I demonstrate how to play the song La Grange by ZZ Top. I cover various techniques employed b by Billy Gibbons including hybrid picking, finger picking, blues turn arounds and pentatonic positions and tips to soloing. La Grange is a great song that showcases Billy's approach to blues and getting the most out of a few notes. He is truly a master of his genre and one of the coolest players on the planet. I hope you enjoy the video and lesson. Please subscribe!

So fitting for the channel. Billy was such an influence on VH and even Pantera.
Billy Gibbons is a Genius at guitar. 😊😊. Prince said he was one of the best he's ever seen. ❤️🙏💯. Thanks buddy for sharing 👍✌️✌️🎸🎸
Jimi Hendrix said the same thing
Truth
Rev Billy one of my favorite players
Same here 😎
One of the things I always liked about Billy's playing, is the way it seems so effortless.
You never see him straining.
It's just smooth as glass. Cool as a frosty mug.
I love that about his playing too. Hess a super cool cat 🐱
I've been a disciple of Reverend Willy for a LONG time, really enjoyed this one. When I play this one at family's and friend's houses, I use a Plexi model in my small travel amp. when I play it at home, I floor my 120 watt tube amp and the neighborhood gets to hear it! I also use my 1950s spec Gibson Les Paul Standard ... Thanks for all you do! Rock On🎸🤟🎸
Love your lessons... peace!
What a Great song, an all time classic. Thanks.
You're welcome 😎
Great lesson with all the nuances that are often missed!
Marty. Clearly you are a great player, but two things really set your channel apart (for me anyway). An ability to teach, and an abundance of humility. Keep it coming.
58 is my favorite Neck! A little fatter! That's the way I play it too! I've seen lots of guys playing it differently? Thanks Marty 🤘 😊
You're welcome. I love the 58 neck too!!
Thanks a bunch Marty! Definitely sounds right on that guitar!
You bet!
Awesome lesson Marty! Everything but mastering that solo is under my fingers. I love your channel and all the lessons you do. I can’t keep up man. Thanks.
I really appreciate you watching! Glad to make content for everyone. 😎🎸
The only band I like as much as VH is ZZ Top! This is awesome man! Thanks so much 😎
Its gold. 🎉. Thanks. Perfect.
You're welcome!
Another great lesson Marty! Thanks for sharing those neat finger roll licks!
Thank you! Glad to help. Thanks for watching!
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker No problem bro, it's my favorite channel!🎸🎸💯
If someone wants their solos to groove in the pocket- this a must note for note learn (especially the first solo)
Great lesson Hombre 👍🏻
Thanks 🙏 😎
Awesome. I was just practicing Just Got Paid in Open E with my slide last night.
Thanks for my second ZZ Top / Billy Gibbon’s tune.
Thanks again for another great lesson.
I'm glad that I had the pleasure of watching Billy and ZZ top when i was 18 in Dublin.
By the way my favourite Les Paul of yours is the burgundy coloured custom ❤
You're welcome! Sadly I have never seen them live! I'm not sure how this has happened.
@Ranch5150SkinWalker RDS in Dublin 1985 and the back up band was the Kinks.
How did you not see them before? I would love to live where you are, and be able to go out and see so many live bands every night 😀
Yes it was great lesson
Thanks for watching! 🎸😎
sounds awesome!!
Thank you!
Great lesson man....certainly beats what I saw on Fender play!
Thanks for watching! Glad to hear it helped you out!
Excellent lesson Marty! Very cool of you to show your Tonex settings, and how cool is Pro Tools... Your guitar Peaches knows how to sing! ZZ Top and Billy Gibbons, wow... 😮🎸
Thanks man!! Happy Easter 😎🎸
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker Happy Easter to you too brother. ✝️
awesome.....I've been wanting to learn this iconic song. nice R8 ! wish I could focus on learning these licks but in my mind..your voice keeps drifting away as I become mesmerized by that beautiful R8.....gorgeous !
I tried to get the tone with my Epy on my Bandit and you what ...?!! I nailed it !!! For dirt cheap. And your right about the slight band...
That my favorite tone les paul and plexi awesome so crispy and luscious..2thumbs up
Hey Marty thanks for this man peace brother 🎶🎵🎸✌️😁
I been messing this song up for a while thanks for sharing
Righteous………😊😊
thank you.
great video man, but you missed one of the most common billy parts...the squills...the pinch harmonics...super important to learn when you are playing almost any zz tune. But i do love the video and great info to have in the bag. Thank you sir.
My pinch harmonics and pick slides still suck.
I’m going to have to really put some time in there.
In first minute and hoping you talk about the lead key change and why does that work so good
Hey Marty can you do Legs by ZZ there not a lot of good lessons on CZcams I like your style of teaching and illustrations rock on 🤘🏻
I did touch on it here. Maybe this will help!

The title of this video is so nostalgic lol
I was quite shocked to see the ToneX on your board. I thought you were a tube amp purest 😉
I must admit the ToneX didn’t do it for me. I have a Kemper head (toaster) instead and have never been happier. No more blown tubes…
I still use tube amps live unless I'm playing at church or at a corporate even, then I use my fractal. I use the fractal and the tone X for CZcams content because it is so consistent and easy to produce with. Recently I have partnered with IK Media and they have been Working with me and providing models and updates for the tone X so I can demonstrate it to my viewers.
I gotta correct you on something. He doesn’t alternate the thumb and finger on that alternating G-Bb lick. He picks the G sliding into it and lets it ring then with his middle finger plucks the Bb and mutes it, allowing the G to continue ringing and plucks the Bb again, mute, pluck
Cool 🤓
Do you have a video of and the cradle will rock from Van Halen ?
Thanks!!
How about a break down of "Empty Promises" King Fish?
