  • Thank you to Guitar George for lending me his Les Paul for this number!
    The tone is as close as I could get. Billy Gibbons was probably using an overdrive or fuzz into a very small, very loud amp... which I don't have hahah. I tried to get close to that with enough gain to make it dirty when I dig in and a bit of my Jim Dunlop Fuzz for the lead lines. He also used a strat for some parts which I split the coils for to get a thinner sound. I hope you enjoyed it, please comment and tell me what you think!

    Had a nice blues feel to it bro. I love rock music but the blues
    Is the heart of it all. Soul and blues are the ancestors of rock.
    You have that inside of you for sure. May the spirits of the
    forefathers of rock bring you full circle.

    Love it! Outstanding! The guitar in this is just beyond the beyond. The epitome of rockin blues. And no one does shuffles better than ZZ Top. Great tune, great cover of amazing guitar solos.
    Just teasing them out so accurately is an accomplishment. And now, you know about 8 killer blues licks that you can use in other stuff. That guitar part is so classic and so damn cool and you nailed it.

    Didn't realize there was a Strat on this recording. Figured he just used the neck pup for the 2nd half of that outro solo on an LP and backed down the volume a bit. No wonder it sounds so damn good on my Stratocaster when I play it. Awesome job on the recording and absolutely crushing the finer aspects of it. Well done!

    Hey! What a grand replication! That’s gotta feel great to be able to do that. For some reason, this song popped into my head yesterday and I put it on to dance to it. Then I just found you. Anyway, I was struck by the pristine nature of your record collection. That’s an indicator of the dedication it took to replicate that guitar work. Bravo! (P.S.: I met Billy Gibbons around 15 years ago - or should I say I encountered him. He growled at me.)

    • @AlexEardleyScott

      Thank you very much for commenting Sandra and SO cool you managed to meet Billy! I am very glad you enjoyed my rendition though, I have lots more to come when I get the chance, so I hope you like the other stuff I covered and will do in the future. 😊

    Keep up the hard work. You play with dedication.It`s not easy playing the blues. Especially with tone and taste. I noticed the early year LP`s in the background, Good place to start. If you want to challenge yourself to another genius level with Gibbons going way out there with greasy licks check out the RCA years. Good stuff. Thanks for sharing!

    • @AlexEardleyScott
      @AlexEardleyScott  4 года назад

      I absolutely love the stuff on RCA too! I try and put up my records which are appropriate to the release when I record. Sadly I have any RCA stuff in my collection because I haven't come across any yet! So glad you enjoyed it though, please check out my other videos if you get the chance. Plenty more awesome tunes and ZZ Top on my channel!
