Why in the hell would someone give this a thumbs down. This is billy gibbons all the way.

My favorite guitarist Billy Gibbons and my favorite TrueFire instructor Jeff McErlaine. What’s not to like? Jeff’s TrueFire course Play in the Style of Billy Gibbons was first TrueFire course I bought. It is EXCELLENT! I have 18 of Jeff’s TrueFire courses and they are all extremely well developed and practical courses. No, this is not a paid ad I am just a big fan of Jeff’s teaching AND playing...

Thank you so much I really want to play like Billy gibbons . You are my no. 1 brother!😊

Can’t understand the thumbs down, either. Jeff plays from-the-heart, straight forward blues/rock. To his credit, he doesn’t come on here and pretend he’s Warren Dimartini, George Lynch, Vito Bratta, or any other 80’s shredder (note: not a knock on those guys...personally, I love their playing!). Point is, Jeff’s not flaunting his guitar collection, pedals, amps, etc., and/or trying to get us to drop hundreds of bucks on virtual lessons. He’s simply sharing his love of music that matters. Keep doing what you do, Jeff...I’m a fan!👍

Love your vibe and playing man... I learned more here in this video, than hours and hours of "others", and I really enjoyed your attitude and approach. 10/10 -

This is very cool. Billy is a Legend & for good cause!!

I have the Truefire All-Access pass and I spend the vast majority of my time on Jeff's lessons. WHat an awesome teacher and player. Much thanks, Jeff, for sharing your storehouse of knowledge and technique.

So helpful thanks from Warren 😎

Saw up close at the Grand Old Opry a few weeks ago and was blown away. So many pro musicians in the crowd in awe of his solos. Starting to put in some time now to learn a few.

Awesome video. Nailed the Gibbons' tone and feel,picking as well.🎸👍🎸

Great video, thanks! I believe Rev Billy calls pinch harmonics ‘squank’...

Well done and helpful. I really like this sound. In the 70’s I was learning and playing an aggressive, edgy fingerpicking acoustic blues stuff with some slide. All I did was buy Delta and big city blues stuff and listen over and over. I had a huge library. Had to sell most of it during some hard times.

Sounds Great ! Fantastic performance here !

Reminded me of David Grissom in the intro. Cut from the same cloth. Sounds great!

That tone is just righteous !!!

Been working thru your Bily G course for months, and probably will for months to come. Love the hybrid picking stuff. (Actually love it all.)

Sweet ! Nice playin’ & tone.

Gibbons really has been underrated throughout his career. Excellent player.

OMG, the secrets are out! Best BG video of all time. Thanks so much, Jeff!

Wow! Great Billy Gibbons style stuff. Wonderful nuanced chops!

4:12 Reverend Willie himself says, "Never be afraid to make a mistake". Good job, Jeff. You have captured the essence..

Love the big up about the overdrive Billy Gibbons uses for his modern day blues...great advice..guitar lesson and knowledge 👌 great 👍 guitar 🎸 sounds 👌 🔥

Huge thumbs up Jeff! Thanks for a great lesson on one of the all time greats!

Taste and tone in abundance! Jeff, you're a star.... Loved your recent lesson about Clapton tone and licks and that '52 gold top was sensational.... Not bad for a guitar whose bridge is supposedly unplayable..... Maybe it's not the equipment that's important... More the player.... Think that Buk chap said same thing....

Gonna be studying them hands no matter how long it takes love the backing track too sweet!

Great backing track in the background. Awsome played💯

Incredible discovery for me - Thanks a lot

Billysplaying is so gentle and effective. It is effortless and lives 100% from his awesome rythm and timing I think. I mean, he is the Blues. No wonder him looking for a lazy way to express his damn things.

I've been revisiting the first few ZZ Top albums since last year, and was really saddened hearing of Dusty's passing last week. I've ben wanting to get into hybrid picking for some time, but just assumed it wasn't in the cards for my 30+ years of self taught playing. This lesson seriously helped inspire me to stick with it and devote the time needed to eventually begin pulling it off! Thanks soo much Jeff! Just hit "like & subscribe", and rang that bell for you amigo!

can,t wait to try it on my tele

thanx jeff i just bought my first course from you !!! i feel that you're terrific teacher and thanx again !!!!

Love it.. Billy Gibbons NAILED! This is epic.

Intro is absolutely fantastic.

If this guy's teaching, I'm learning. Billy is the best.

Rhythm is what it's all about. Thank you.

Very interesting! It sounds good! Thank you! Billy is the King!

Love this channel..im learning a lot.

love the opening track

Great playing and som great Gibbons/Grissom vibes 👍🙏

Yes, this is great stuff man I love this, will sub and look at your courses. Saw them live with six encors New Years' Eve 79-80 Alt,Ga.What an experience that was. Your right about the first few records, Billy took those licks to another level, Just like David Grissom has, I like how you teach.

Watching the 2020 Billy Gibbons tricks vidio.

Thank you for posting this video. I've been taking a deep dive for quite some time on BFG's tone and style. You nailed it! I'm a huge fan of BFG!

So chill...nationwide!

Very nice lesson.

I really love the tone you're getting out of a guitar I used to play on Marshalls a lot but I think Fender sound good too and I know Billy Gibbons used to play on a practice amp it was a fender he had his Memphis Tennessee Strings & things where they built him a guitar looks the shape of Texas I used the pickup pay required you're doing a great job man I love the way your guitar sounds break it down little bit

Amazing! You captured it. ...and David G also.

Tht rig sounds really good .Iv got 100 questions but I'll spare u today .

Great tone and licks!!

Masterclass

You're the only one that can give Billy a run for his money. Damn!!!

That's some bad ass tone man ..... I always love me some zz top ....great lesson

GEEZ that was fun!!! I'm going to work on this style. I don't give a rat's about shreddin...this I can do! Rock on brother

Sorry I missed the live stream coz 4 am in oz is a tad early but really enjoyed it as always . 🇦🇺

played for 40 years, last 20 mostly finger picking country blues. geting back into electrics in a big way of late. come to the realization that tres hombres and zztop first are my sargeant peppers and white album. if I can spend the rest of days getting half of what played in that intro down, I would die a happy man ;) sign me up and take my money..

Hey I look forward to these too man😎 IMHO this one and the British Blues 3 things have been killer. Thank you soo much for unlocking some of that 'Grissbons' stuff. I've been trying to do that for along time and now I can see it! Cheers

Cool stuff.. thanks.

Great sound. By the way, Rockpalast was 1980 on german tv. Me and my friends were flashed, although it was middle of the night. Never heard something like this before. Im a fan ever since.

you are a guitar hero ! la creme de la creme !! kiss from France my friend !!!!!!!

Really loving your Billy Gibbons course on TrueFire. Can’t wait to check out David Grissom’s courses after your Billy course. Thanks for that recommendation! 🙏

Tone is sooo good

I guess I’ve just always taken his amazing playing for granted -

Thats the first time I watch your great videos ;-) Im glad I did find you! Thanks 4 all those tricks and style. I keep my own style but tpok a few ideas from your playing ! Great giant this Mister Billy Gibbons ! 😁👍😍🎸🎶

Some great playing man!

Gary rossington, 1 of lynyrd skynyrd's 3 guitarists was a very flaunt and fluid hybrid picker, love that sound and tone, amazing man you're awesome, I watched you on many videos wasn't' you a studio musician at one point,

This is just GREAT! Thank you!

Thank you, this has been awesome.

New to your page... absolutely love it!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge 💜

Man o Man That tone!!

Excellent playing Jeff!

Thanks Jeff

Dam this is good stuff thanks

fantastic

In my opinion there hasn’t been a more influential player since Hendrix. You can hear his licks everywhere from country to alt rock. Boogie children.

great stuff man, your a cool cat with great examples and style, very cool

Absolutely 💯 love 💘 cheap sunglasses 🕶 😎 👌

Lots of tasty licks there. Awesome tone man...love it

One of the best sounding Les Pauls around, tone really is everything.

Really helpful. Thanks

Fantastic.

Only 1 minute in and OMG!!!

I wasn’t full aware of how massive is the tone you could achieve with hybrid picking. Great video, great sound quality, great content and ideas to explore, i love your playing as always. I really like your tone in particular when you play your LPs with your two rock amp. Did you use any pedal in front of your two rock in this recording? Best

So sick man - killer!

Yeah good job...Hey get on Heard it on the X,El diablo.... 1980 rockpalast concert he was on fire...Theres an ending lick thats awesome and hard to do would you know it?Jam on...

Outstanding

Billy.

I missed it live this afternoon, Jeff... catching up... and working on Cream... me and my short attention span.

Dammit, now I gotta break out the Les Paul and the Swampworks M1974 clone.

Awesome, Gotta love ZZ Top

That TONE !!

Amazing

I find myself just listening and forgetting to learn :)

What are you using to get that distorted tube sound? Similar to Warren !!

So goooood

Jeff great tone sweet pickin brother

....answers the age old question what shall I play to start a righteous jam

Is your Les Paul a custom shop 58 or 59 or a production model, just curious man looks nice !

Freakin A this is awesome !!

Excellente

Nice !

Jeff u so nails it at 3.4 bill's knarly muted guitar sounds like a wailing woman, sort of a major homage to the blues. I heard it on the record a million times, but i just "heard"it
