YouTube - Joe Bonamassa ~ Just Got Paid ZZ Top Cover

Check out this cover of Just Got Paid -- he sure is using the EJ style a lot in here...

Sounds awesome...I need to learn that run.

Mercutio · 05-17-2008, 04:26 PM

love the tone

***b-squared*** · 05-17-2008, 05:27 PM

Agree with all of you guys.

I was at GC today trying out some compressors, settled on the EH Soul Preacher--funny, bought it for my church gig.

I was playing Just Got Paid, and at least 4 guys came over and asked me how to play it. Of course I gladly showed them.

Love that tune, and Joe's playing is getting better every year...he's a total monster.

Everyone I see covering that song plays it different then Billy Gibbons. On the zz version live on you tube. Billy Plays it in drop D and he doesnt have to slide down to the G note in the main riff. It's a lot easier to play this way. But every time i see people cover it they play it in standard.
curious.

He plays that in open E.

***b-squared*** · 05-26-2008, 09:39 AM

Yup...open E. Gov't Mule covers it in Standard tuning as well.

So do I.
