Loading ...Hey Blues Fans!
One of my favorite ZZ Top songs is Blue Jean Blues. This lesson shows three separate B minor blues licks in the style of Billy Gibbons. I’ve gotten requests to add tablature, so I placed the tab above each video. I hope this helps. FYI, the chords are Bm, Em and F#m. Have fun and feel free to leave a comment.

WAOOO!!! Fantastic I love this song tanks for your lesson BUT how can I have all video lesson??
I use all down strokes.
WOW. I love this song. Excellent Lesson.
I want to learn this.
I can use a little help.
On the first lick is it better to use all down strokes. I can’t seem to get the same feeling you get.
Thank you
Love this song. Billy Gibbons is by far one of my favorite guitarists. I’d like to see a few lessons on “A Fool For Your Stockings”. Another cool Gibbons tune. Again, thanks for all the cool lessons.

Great suggestion. I’ll work on it.
AWESOME lesson! I’ve tried for ages to get that down. I can’t get that sound, though. What effects are you using? Chorus? Thanks!

Good question. I forget.
For that lesson I was using a Line6 POD 2.0 with some chorus. But I forget the exact settings.
That was very nicely done. Thank you for that. I now have to learn the whole song!!!
Merci d’un guitariste français très reconnaissant…We wait for the entire blues !!!
Thanks a lot.
Fred

Great lesson. Is there any way you could send me the entire tab? I love this song and haven’t been able to find a tab for it.

I found some Guitar Pro tab and converted it to PDF. This should help.

I may have some tab. I’ll have to look for it.
Damn man this is so helpfull i am moving forvard in my playing.

@admin,
It’s alright. It’s the BLUES, man.
Keep the licks coming
Great stuff.
But should it be 1/4 bend at the 10th fret high E rather than the 11th fret as shown in the tab?
Great stuff again

Kz,
Nice catch. You are correct. I fixed the tab. For some reason, I had the number 11 stuck in my head while I was making this lesson.
Great stuff! I really like the way you show and explain things.
i’m on now thanks! don
