Ready to learn the 67th greatest hard rock song of all time according to Rolling Stone Magazine?
If so this Tush guitar lesson is the perfect resource for you!
Who wrote Tush?
"Tush" was written by American blues rock band ZZ Top and was the single released off their fourth studio album Fandango! in 1975.
Apparently, the entire song was written in just a few minutes during a sound check in Florence, Alabama.
It’s amazing how sometimes the best songs come the fastest. Another great example of this is Freddie Mercury when he talked about how he wrote “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” in just a few minutes as well.
Sometimes inspiration strikes and it’s almost like the songs just fall right out of the instrument. It’s truly amazing!
Tush Chords
Tush is a great example of how classic blues progressions made their way into rock songs. This one follows a standard 12-bar blues progression in the key of G and uses the I, IV, and V chords.
I chord = G
IV chord = C
V chord = D
These are the 3 most common chords in the key of G.
Next, you’ll want to drop these chords into the progression of the song which would go like this:
G (4 bars)
C (2 bars)
G (2 bars)
D (1 bar)
C (1 bar)
G (2 bars)
Start by following this progression and just strumming whole notes, tapping your foot, and counting out loud: 1, 2, 3, 4.
