Billy Gibbons Guitar Lesson: Playing the Blues

by | Oct 22, 2007 | Guitar lessons, Guitar videos | 4 comments

YouTube has so many great guitar videos – both performance and lessons. Sometimes you can find all kinds of weird stuff you didn’t even know existed. I think that Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top is one of the most underrated guitar players out there. He is an awesome blues guitar player. I often find that many people don’t know much about ZZ Top other than “Sharp Dressed Man” or “Legs”. Once the 80’s and music videos hit, they put out some songs with sequencer, synthesizer, or keyboard that made them more “commercial”. They had a whole decade of albums before that of incredible blues-rock songs like Tush, LaGrange, Waiting for the Bus, Jesus Just Left Chicago, Just Got Paid, Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers, Tube Snake Boogie, Blue Jean Blues, and lots more. Whether you’ve been playing for a year or all your life – watch this 6 minute video lesson by Billy Gibbons, you just may learn a new lick!
