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!"
great song...nicely shown...picked up some more Billy gems here.....thanks a lot....cheers sadly i'm here in england for 3 weeks without (!!!) guitar......
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!
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?
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.
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
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.
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
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.
The Reverend never wastes a note. Love the old ZZ top tunes
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...
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!
Thank you so much for sharing your tone settings. Not everyone does that, but it's important.
OH YEAH!!!!!! Now you’re digging in to the good stuff. For the lesson……I thank you!!!!!
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 ♪♫♪♫♪♫
Have Mercy!!!

Thank so much! Glad you are getting stuff out of these!
Nice!👍🎵From the Deguello Album. When my son was little it was his first favorite song.🎵
A great example of tone being in the fingers. Love BFG!!

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

Thank you!
brillant lesson !
音作りを含めて勉強になりました。ありがとうございます。
I thank you, great class🤘
Would interesting if you mentioned how he plays it live. ‘I Thank You’ for this fine lesson.
Great job explaining!

You nailed it sounds like Billy

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?

Love ZZ Top!! Great song and video!

Welcome, glad you found it! That song is def on my list
Fantastic
How about Chevrolet!
Wouldn't it be great if there was a Pinched Harmonics Pedal?! Chords would sound insane.
There is such a pedal. It’s called Zakk Wylde 😂😜
Chevrolet next please?
Great lesson on one of my top ZZ songs...and the list is long...
I think that's a cover.
Yep, Sam & Dave
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 🤘🏻
