Learn how to play Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers as performed by ZZ Top (specifically the guitar played by Billy Gibbons).

The energy in this song is incredible, the sound that Billy gets on his lead tone sounds like the tubes are literally cooking and he is maxing out whatever amp he was using paired with his Les Paul. And did you catch
the "early days fingerboard tapping" technique here? I know Eddie Van Halen must have, right?
