More ZZ Top tabs to come... (any preferences?, anybody?)

Tuning: EADGBd


Classic from the Deguello album.

The secret of this song is, tune the high E string down to D.



Intro & Verse:

Don't forget to tune the high 'E' string down to 'D' or it won't sound right!

This part requires a hybrid picking technique. Billy picks the 6th string with the pick
and the 4th string with his finger simultaneously, Then the 5th and 3rd, quite tricky.
