    Eric,thank you so much as I have always struggled with the pinky stretch(small hands) in the boogie part of the song so stopped playing it.You have just opened my eyes to a much simpler alternative that I can use in other songs.Thanks again

    thanks for the note about the riff change during verses- I learned this tune a couple weeks ago and never caught that before. there's several other guitar teachers on here that I enjoy, but I recently discovered your channel and you are well on your way to becoming my favorite. keep em coming!

    Really helpful lesson, thank you. The lick at the end
    Boogie licks for people with small hands are impossible on the 7th and 9th frets cos we can't reach the 12thto complete the lick.
    A boogie lesson for strummers with small hands would be invaluable. I would love to play Walk This Way and glam rock but I can't reach!

    I think you're missing something that he frequently does right at the end of the 12th bar - a quick slide from D9 (no root) upto Eb9 and back down again, e.g. xx4555 and xx5666.

  • @robrippen
    @robrippen Před měsícem

    would be so cool to see someone present this in such a way to capture the MOJO of this song..I think perhaps there needs to be a slight bend on the power chord of B flat... Billy was a MOJO genius. Not knocking the lesson here but it's so rare I ever hear anyone play this where it dosent sound lame

    Do you have the tablature available for this way you are playing it? My mobile screen makes it kinda hard to follow, so having some tabs would be a YUGE bonus for me 😎

  • @giantcarver

    • @yourguitarsage
      @yourguitarsage  Před 8 lety

      +heinbldski thank you so much my friend! Yes, I'm very pleased with it. I'm using an OCD distortion pedal through a Fender blues Junior. The Masters is at 10 and the volume is about at two. Reverb is at two in the equalizer is set flat.

    Thanks for the lesson.
    ZZ Top fan.
    Love the kitty, and that he loves ZZT, and that you let him sit on your shoulder while you give a video lesson.
    All cool stuff.
    I always love the GoodNoise, and love cats in general.
    Any man who appreciates cats is a friend of mine, lol.
    It's "very manly" to appreciate 'em.
    They're so much like women, except for the males, cuz they're just Tomcats!
    heh, heh. 😎
    👍 👌
    BTW, that's good getting the msg out to spay & neuter all the critterzes. Ppl just don't know, they think it says something "bad" about them, but really it says they're responsible "animal husbandry" ppl.
    Yeah, lots of confusion about that.
    Thanks for everything.

    @jerry0758 Před 9 lety

    Erich, I just watched your TUSH video. No pun intended :-). But at the end where your showing the walk up it's hard to view. The camera was cockeyed and no matter how large or small I made the screen I could never view it very well. Plus you said both times that you'd play it Slowly and for this old man it wasn't slow enough. :-) Anyway, I do appreciate your shares since my hearing has taken a toll on me over the years and I guess you could say my eyesight as well since I couldn't see what you were playing. Thanks a bunch you've encouraged me to pick up the guitar once again after years of being away from it. Thank you, Jerry

    • @yourguitarsage
      @yourguitarsage  Před 9 lety

      Thank you for the comment Jerry. Don't know how old you are but I have many students in their 60's, just starting out. Goes to show you, it is NEVER too late. Stay in touch and keep rockin!

      +Jerry Craig - One way to slow the video down, like we did our old LPs, is to click on the Settings icon and change the speed.
      The Settings icon looks like a GEAR under the Time line, between two squares. One square is solid with CC inside, the other is just an outline.

    • @yourguitarsage

      Thanks for the comment Andy. I used to use lapel mics but they are really stifling. Now I use a high-end shotgun mic. This is one of my newer vids and I have not had any complaints about volume. I'll listen back and see if it needs adjusting.

    • @yourguitarsage
      @yourguitarsage  Před 8 lety

      Well the thing about that is that it can be misleading. You would have to have the same amp, pedals, guitar and pick ups that I'm using to get the same sound. That would actually make for a whole series of lessons :-)

      Check out the first turnaround at about 0:30 in this video: czcams.com/video/Kt3Y9TtR1h8/video.html
      If you get a chance, see the version from the new documentary, he plays that V chord as a D9. This is the same fingering/chord shape as used in Arrested For Driving While Blind and Thunderbird. Gives it more of a blues sound. Cheers and thanks for the video.
