Right now, the only two I'm singing are Blue Jean Blues and Jesus Just Left Chicago. My voice is best used sparingly - haha- and I like to harmonize, so I'd rather just sing backups.

I will probably be singing some more leads later, but right now, I'm just focusing on learning how to play the songs and working on my solo cues for the rhythm section.

Get some pesos and file them down. Billy said in an old Guitar World interview that he used pesos instead of plastic/tortoise shell picks.

Andy,

I know about the pesos. I read an interview with him decades ago where he said he used a quarter. I tried it back then and hated the tone. I do like the thickness, but that shrill metal on metal attack didn't sit well with me.

BTW: We had a great rehearsal last night, sounded tighter than ever. Now, we need to add some more songs and work on the intricate choreography  ::)  before our first show = July 2nd. We're playing at a VERY popular spot, on the river, where lots of boaters stop in for fish tacos & beer. It should be a very busy day, on 4th of July weekend (U.S. Independence Day Holiday).

Good stuff Dante.... I love ZZ Top. Grew up working with my Pop in the garage in the 70's listening to them on his old stereo. I do Blue Jean Blues in my solo acoustic shows.

I have a 1978 Silver Series Ibby Strat copy that the body is covered with black fur, and the cutaway bouts are shaped and painted like horns. that would probably be suitable for that kind of gig :lol:

My dad hates when I call him Pop. I didn't realize it until one day when I called him dad, he lit up. Who knew?

OK Dante and Richard,

   Here is the old Ibby I mentioned earlier. Not the greatest pix, but you get the idea.
