and try sharpening your picks to a more "V" shape, rather than a "U"- shape.

you will start SCREAMING harmonics, whether you like it or not. WOW!!!

He makes the simplest of riffs sounds so full and alive.

Aww, he can't really play the blues - with those sunglasses and that beard, you can't see his guitar face!!


(note how he pulls his thumb off the neck, BB King style, when making vibrato)

Very cool. I had a Billy Bo for a while, and while I couldn't get along with the shape, those TV Jones Power 'Trons sounded better than about ANY pickups I've ever heard.

It looks like he's playing through one of his Tone Tubby loaded Crate V50 2-12 tube combos.I had one,and it was indeed a very nice sounding amp.

I still think the first couple ZZ albums have some of the greatest gtr tones of all time.
In the 80s He started using to many effects, especially chorus.
But then again, who did'nt in the 80s!(The decade of chorus)
