Haha! THX, but I think it's funny sometimes instead of cool
When I speak I think my accent is good, but when I listen to my recorded voice it just sounds like . . . ridiculous 
Lian Gerbino8th November 2010very cool man! music for the road!
kaznie_NL8th November 2010Awesome song, awesome version

I'm very happy about the welcoming of this lesson
It's a 'secret' but maybe I can tell you, that the second part of this lesson will come soon as a Billy Gibbons style fingerpicking solo lesson, called ZZ-Top fingerpicked II. or something.
The solo goes on the same groove, so learn this groove well and maybe you can jam with your friends on this one
Zsolt Galambos9th November 2010I really like the way those riffs sound fingerpicked! Great explanation as well, man!
Ivan Milenkovic9th November 2010Awesome, great familiar riffs!

Hi GMC'ers! In this lesson I composed a tune inspired by ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man"! I transformed this song in order to capture the unique vibe of Billy Gibbon's fantastic guitar playing.
I added a simplified bass line to the rhythm to give it an authentic feel. Later I realized that the base line sounds better if I play it with my thumb instead of the pick (personal preference). It then became a finger picking exercise to a cool song. You can also play this lesson using your pick too, so it can be a hybrid picking exercise also.
