So glad you did another ZZTOP. This was awesome.

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.

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

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.

I'm 63 years old and Avalon Hidaway is absolutely one my favorites since it came out. I really boogies.

"Pan-Am Highway Blues" off of Tejas is my jam. Very overlooked song and album. Great vid!!!🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁

I Gotsta Get Paid.......nuff said.

Thank you thank you thank you! 70’s ZZ and the current Billy F Gibbons stuff is the greatest music ever made!

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... 😎

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

Never get tired of the reverend Billy

"sure got cold"..........beautiful !.

Billy is the best......his tone on "enjoy and get it on" from Tejas is killer!

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 KZfaq 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.

Great licks from the mighty Billy Gibbons thanks. I’am the same blue&Rock also get me busing.✌️👌👍

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

Mr Brewster you have by far the best guitar channel. Your intelligence, skill level and tasty chops are excellent for all level players. Love Billy Gibbons. Mahalo for all you do.

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

Another top ZZ Top lesson! 😎😎😎

Big Billy fan! Thank you for this video!

Another great lesson!!! ZZ Top is tops for me.. Thanks for sharing..peAce

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!

So good. Thank you. Yep, ZZ TOP rocks.

You have an elegant taste of music, just like me. ZZ-Top, Van Halen and all that sort of sounds from the 70’s. Congratulations dude! I’m from São Paulo, Brazil.

Appreciate the second ZZtop lesson. Love it!

Great to see another ZZ Top lesson. Thank you!

Congratulations for layin down some righteous Billy Gibbons licks, you definitely have paid your dues. Play on Jimi !!! 🎸👍👏✌️😎

Another cool lesson. Love Billy and ZZ Top. Those are some deep cuts too. Thanks Dave.

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! ✌🏻🎸🎶

🍺’ski your right there’s nothing like Early Raw ZZ Top. It has a special feel that just gets ya!Another great one. 🤘

"Blue Jean Blues" is absolutely beautiful!

Your Lessons have been on a Roll!!!!

As always another great lesson! 😎🎸

This is awesome. Great playing, thanks

Love all the rockin blues , next do some Skynyrd , the way you do , unlike alot of the hack lessons 👍

Love it !!!

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 🎸🎸👍

Certified Blues, of course!

Calling out notes vs fret numbers really separates you from other KZfaq stars. Well done!

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

Dusty, Frank and Willy G. are awesome! Good video. Thanks for paying them the respect they deserve. They just had a Billy Gibbons Tribute Concert.

Dave ...cool Hendrix shirt.... i wait in anticipation for your videos... THE BEST..

Thanks for your hard work David.

I love these lessons! So good!

Blues Secrets from ZZ Top via Late Night Lesson!!! Thanks, David!!!!

Great stuff. Brilliant breakdown of some of ZZtops bluesy songs. Thanks for sharing.

Their documentary by Banger films was excellent

Hey David, Awesome!! Time for some ZZ Top Blue Jeans Blues Riffs Lesson!!😎👍

Man, you play those rifs nicely. Great vid, thanks dude.

Another great lesson!

Billy Gibbons is one of my favorite guitar players , so thanks for the episode!

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.

The Reverend has all the spice and more! His phrasing and bending is incredible. Such an underrated player. Great lesson once again !

Heard Tres Hombres! Nothing was the same after that! The Rev is it! Forget the rest!

Also: I wanted to click "like" for at least three dozen different moments throughout. Time for KZfaq to update the feature.

This channel is a gem. Thank you so much David. Keep them coming !

Thank you! Amazing insights you give to the works! This is awesome.

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.

One Foot in The Blues is a GREAT CD!! Thank you for making this lesson

Totally enjoyed - Big Thankks

Man avalon highway sounds like one way out by allman brothers. That's dope!!!

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!

Great playing and teaching! Thanks. Keep pumping out ZZ Top videos

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

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!

Great! Wonderful!

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.

ZZ Top love it brother!!

Thanx mang... I really dig all your artwork AND... luv the test pattern screen at the close. Billy Gibbons is a recurring reference to all guitar plunkers...I appreciate your vid. So thanx again and Cheers

outstanding lesson!!! Thanks

Awesome lessons! You're a great player and nice guy! Thanks for sharing with us.

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

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

lovin this, love BFG, i picked up the guitar coz of him !.

Sheer brilliance. Huge fan of your work, and hopeful you'll one day cover The Stray Cats and/or Brian Setzer. Cheers!

Thanks Dave. An interesting preamble, for folks unfamiliar with ZZ Top’s first 5 albums, but the tutorial really kicks off at 3:14 My favourite slow picking style is ‘Hot Blue & Righteous’ (what a title for a blues song) from 10:04

way cool breakdowns. you nailed the notes and tone.

Awwwwe yeaaaaa

Jimi shirt is awesome,love your stuff

excellent lesson

I just stumbled upon this and I am really impressed! You sir are a BADASS!

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

I just scored some really good tickets for zz top, and I'm super excited. Great lesson, your a excellent teacher.

1 of my favorite riffs of all time is "Nasty Dogs and Funky Kings." And how 'bout "Precious and Grace," the guitar solo in "Beer Drinkers.." "Just Got Back From Baby's," Enjoy and Get It On," the tempo change at the end of "I'm Bad I'm.." etc etc.. Billy seemed to always play the right note at the right time at the right pace. Some great quirky productions to boot. Awesome.

Nice one Dave! Thanks for all you do!

New subscriber, love your work. Thank you for the awesome no BS content. Go you. :)

i've always played Just Got Back from Baby's By barreing across strings 4-5-6 then add the 5th for each chord but then play only strings 4&6 at the barre to achieve the root/7th. I've used this technic before because I have short fingers. (alligator fingers)

Great stuff wow you make it look so easy

And that folks is why Billy Gibbons is Guitar Royalty.

Your technique is su pa fiiiiine!

And again no down votes. This channel is the only one that the negative hasn't been over 5 👎. That's saying something. Thanks B 🐓!

excellent insight.

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. 🇮🇪🤘🇮🇪

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

love what you do dood!! Billy is a monster guitarist and you are up there too man!!

Yeah one foot in the blues, douse that light 😊

Dave, I really dig your understated approach. You're massively talented and have great insights into how students learn. I really look forward to "Late Night..." Many thanks.

Avalon Highway reminds me of the Allman Brothers “One Way Out”

Awesome video of one of my favorites and I love their early albums. Those songs are not obscure to me!! Do you do a video on the soloing on Blue Jean Blues? Love your playing and your instruction is dead on! Thanks!

You are the killer player yourself David
