Here's the next episode of Chordplay with ZZ Top (Blues Secrets From Texas). As I mentioned in this video, the most popular lesson on the LNL channel is the ZZ Top Chordplay episode from last year, so after posting the Blues Guitar Chords episode a few days ago, I decided to follow that lesson by taking another look at Billy Gibbons and diving a little deeper into his Texas blues-rock mastery.
The chord-based ideas and song examples in this lesson were pulled from ZZ Top's early material and features bluesy numbers such as 'Blue Jean Blues,' 'Hot Blue And Righteous,' 'Avalon Highway,' 'Certified Blues,' 'Just Got Back From Baby's' and more!
There's no question that Billy Gibbons and ZZ Top are essential blues-rock masters from the 1970s and beyond, as they've reached their 52nd year making music, and with a new studio album and another solo album from Gibbons, it's obvious they're not slowing down anytime soon!

I met Billy G. in 1979 when I worked at Gibson Nashville. He watched me build a Les Paul Custom. He is one of the nicest guys I've ever met.

@alexcastro7339 3 года назад

One thing about ZZTop that people don't mention a lot. Their riffs are basically simple but they serve as a perfect vehicle for Billy's and Dusty's OUTSTANDING soulful and bluesy vocals. The vocals play a significant part of their appeal.. along with Billy's great lead lines, of course... 😎

@grahamsampson769 3 года назад

I admire how accurately and authentically you play all these riffs. Plus, you can't hide your passion for the guitar.

@strivingx67 3 года назад

Sometimes it takes me a minute to get what you are playing on these riffs. But with that said, I appreciate you are not going over it note by note in excruciating detail that takes 5 minutes for the explanation of the riff. lol. Good stuff here Dave!

Glad to hear you notice the Dropped D possibility. Saves my hands from having to use CBD oil for the pain at nite!

Thank you for this gem Brewster-man. You're stellar!!!

@ryanstaggs5956 3 года назад

Thank You! I love early ZZ Top. I love ZZ Top regardless. I love that Texas swagger and that sass that Billy had in the 70's. I would sell my soul to be able to play like he did on the their first two albums. That fist lick in the solo of Brown Sugar, The tone and the riff in Whisky N Mama. Stops me dead in my tracks every time. That diabolical lead fill in first 30 seconds of Down Brownie, When the band comes in on Just Got Paid and just takes off. The lead on the remastered version of Chevrolet. Some of the tastiest guitar playing I've ever heard. Jaws on the floor every time I hear it. David Its awesome to see a player and teacher like yourself break these down and play them like they should to be played. Unfortunately ZZ Top's stuff gets butchered by a lot of RU-vid guitar players. I can see why guys are flocking to your ZZ Top content. Like the rest of your content..... its quality. Please keep em coming and continued success.

Zz top is my favorite band. Thanks so much for reviving my love for these classic tunes that I've thought would be so cool to play. Explaining the chords to these deep cuts is glorious.

ZZ Top was what we played in the tape deck when we cruisedv the boulevards in my buddy's 1952 Chev hardtop.

@Craig_Fussell 3 года назад

LOVE 70s ZZ Top!! Thanks so much for this man. Billy Gibbons is not only a hook master, he’s is a fantastic rhythm player. Love how he’s able to arrange ways to play their multi tracked records live on stage and still have that huge sound too! ✌🏻🎸🎶

Many thanks David. Another fine lesson with filigree bends and vibratos and a smoking tone 🙂👍👍

@leechild4655 3 года назад

Awesome Top lesson Dave. We could use a few more of these how it was done from that little ol` band from Texas. Also, Billy could slide the slide like crazy when the song called for it. Not sure if you want to get into that element, slide, and open tunings, but maybe for a future video. Cheers

@MikeCindyWhite 3 года назад

Awesome bro! perfect timing... I was just listing to Billy jam this morning on my way to work, Cranked! As always thanks for the great lesson my friend 🎸🎸👍

@mnegline1971 3 года назад

thats exactly what i was going to write! I actually thought this was an old video suggested to me by my iphone spying on my ZZ Top activity in the past few weeks

@kurtisr2339 3 года назад

@@mnegline1971 Ditto! I've been listening to Billy--and, weirdly, One Foot in the Blues--on repeat, so when this popped it felt like Big (Apple) Brother watching. Ha! Mr. Brewster has his finger on the pulse.

@RodsGuitar 3 года назад

Great lesson Dave. Just can't do enough Zz Top or Van Halen breakdowns like this. Your such a chilled out teacher but the content of your lessons is right on the money. If I'm working on a song I always check your channel to see if you've done a lesson on the band first to put it in context. I don't play in a band, probably like most of your viewers so really love these rhythm type lessons where you fill out the part with scratches, fills open strings and the bassline moving along. Helps me get a better groove going and makes a single electric guitar sound much better. 🇮🇪🤘🇮🇪

@Buddy969 3 года назад

Great lesson! I absolutely love the songs that you chose as examples. I would have bet you were going to use the LP on this one. The strat sounded great. Keep up the great work! 🔥

@thepiperofsimms9974 3 года назад

There was something unusual about "Tejas". Loved it. I'm playing around with the "Theremin" for "Cheap Sunglasses." The way it is written gives you the chance to go back and forth on both instruments. Now boogie children. Thank you Late Night. Yuma, AZ.

@MrBillRizer 2 года назад

I worked at a musical instrument store 10 years ago and a pedal came in that Billy signed, it was a contest prize. I touched it and was so excited to think that the great man Billy Gibbons had also. Legend. Tres Hombres is my favourite album of theirs. We love you Dusty rest in rock 'n roll sir.

@reinerstevie289 3 года назад

billy is great, i saw him, dusty, and frank on many, many tours

BFG is the man. I really came late into ZZTop, but my god! I have been enjoying myself immensely going through their cattledog.

@rickleblanc6502 3 года назад

Dave you are the best I love ZZ Tops first couple of albums I like there other stuff to but First Album, Rio Grande Mud, Tres Hombres are the best ones in my opinion I have seen them live 3 or 4 times in the 70's Keep up the good work on your channel You are inspiring me to play again

@StealthParrot 3 года назад

Gotta love early Billy Gibbons. Not quite as obscure perhaps since it came a bit later, but Tube Snake Boogie from El Loco has that early raw vibe too. Great video, thanks!

@easyriderm1314 Год назад

Hey David, I tell you, I really dig you post. I’m 57, am I started playing in the 70’s. I have a lot of influences, being self taught, but Hendrix, Farner, and Gibbons are probably my two actual greatest influences. My favorite ZZ Top are the 1st 4 albums. I started listening to Top when Tejas was released. Let me thank you for your post. Man, you are informative., and a great way to check And cross check yourself when playing. Thank you brother!

@mbreinin 3 года назад

Good, good stuff. Love BFG, he is the man. Sounds simple, but it is not! One of a kind.

@arunviswanathan5555 3 года назад

Great lesson, thanks Brewster! My fave ZZ blues is prob Brown Sugar from the First Album! Great intro, boogie, solo, and outro! 🎸✌🏽😎 I’m going to guess that you have the Beck Garage album cover and Jimi shirt on because they are/were big fans of the Rev! Cool! 😎🎸

@nickbrown8892 3 года назад

Another fascinating and addictive lesson - thank you. By the way another great deal for those without the early ZZ Top is the 10 CD set of the Studio Albums 1970-1990. A new set cost me just under £27 via a well know auction site

@thomasjurd172 Год назад

Hi David, love your channel and taste. Loved the lesson on the cult .. I stopped playing at 24 and picked up my led Paul I bought after my wife passed 2 years ago and find I have 5 hours a day for another 18 months and want to get better so bad.. Getting there but I find it hard to find a good teacher.. I think if I had some lessons I could progress much faster.

@jamesraymondsmith 3 года назад

Thanks for posting on two ways to play Gibbons does this drop D tuning thing where he goes from IV I IV I on the high triad to the low triad with the same finger. slick.
