    As I watched this I realized Billy has embodied those old blues men he saw growing up ...right down to the way he drinks and talks like ...a coooooool cat ....who isn't prepared for class and doen't care but wants to just feel goooooood daddio. haha its like he even putting on a show in the why he speaks. giving us the experience he had as a kid talking to these other worldly bluesmen... who were also drunk too id bet hahaha

    Embodied them so much, They copped John Lee Hookers riffs in La Grange and ZZ Top got sued by Hookers song writing partner and copyright holder for it. John Lee wasn’t personally involved in the law suit.

    What I took away from this episode was something Marty Friedman talks a lot about in his interviews where he talks about playing, I know Marty Friedman and Billy Gibbons are miles apart but stay with me Its about how you play the notes, how far you bend, how fast do you bend? Do you slide into a note or do you hammer it on really quick? Theres tons of choices when it comes to how you play something and those decisions are what makes your voice on the guitar uniquely yours, Billy Gibbons plays the same way he talks, nice and smooth with a little bit of swaager to it Imo :) cool episode, this is my favorite series on KZread at the moment and look forward to every episode If you could get like Yvette Young, Mark Arm and Steve Turner, King Buzzo...man I have a whole list of who I'd like to see!!!
