Simply awesome braddah. You nailed it.

@casualguy393 thanks alot brother -

@DirtySteve232 You are welcome. I favorited it because I (1) think its awesome, and (2) I am a beginner player, and hope to learn this song as well.

Dude.. You kick ass bro. THAT was AWESOME!! I got Eliminator for my 16th birthday after already been listening to AFTERBURNER for a time, & this was definitely one of the stand-out tracks of the album. I used to put his album on through my headphones when I went to bed..I will admit that I stumbled across this video quite by accident, but you had me from the start dude.. U see I've ALWAYS appreciated good music & have only JUST bought my first guitar at the age of 35 but, if I could even get to

@DougyG76 Hey thanks for the very kind words brother. Billy G is one of the reasons why I started playing guitar. I've been a fan since I was kid myself. Years later and he is still an inspiration. But - Congrats on your first guitar man!! Never too late to start and it's easier than ever to learn with all the media out there. Just be patient with yourself, try to keep at it and stay tuned for more of my vids as well - I have alot coming this year.

hey hi, what string gauge do you use ? i tryed Billy's Gibbons but theyr so skinny, hard to get around with the tone and sustain but as he sais the amp and pedals create the tone to compensate.

smartti1970 1 month ago

@smartti1970 hey brother - I prefer 9s on EBMM guitars and 10s on Les Pauls. I've had the honor to discuss this very topic with Billy a number of times and you are right...he really does play 7. 9. 11. 20. 30. 40s and has for years. To me it's all feel and personal preference...there is no right or wrong. Try some 9s if you want...they are still quite light but might feel and respond better to your guitar. And everyone - don't forget to REINTONATE if you change string gauges. Good luck!

@DirtySteve232 Thanks, cool you reponded ;) .... yeah i got 9's on my Strat my fingers wont take higher gauge, i tryed the 8 and thats the one that lost sustain... i dont mind the very slightly less fat tone, i do mind the sustain loss thow..... ... every now and then i get one off my fingers skin pulled under the nail and then i cant bend anymore caus it hurts and i do use three fingers for bending...but obviously either doing something wrong or need 8 gauge ! ;-)

@ksteinbrock Thank you brother! This calls for a quote from Billy Gibbons - "Grab that slab and grind me off a pound!"

DirtySteve232 8 months ago

Have you noticed that Billy seems to play this song differently in concert than on the record? I think you're doing the record version. I think I'm right on this, it might be a different key he plays live???

tlapower 8 months ago

@tlapower I have actually - and yes I was going for the recorded version here. Not sure what key, but Billy loves to tweak the live jams and change it up a bit -
