Learn how to play Cheap Sunglasses as performed by ZZ Top. A great blues rock tune from their Duguello album. Billy makes use of great interplay with his rhythm guitar parts and tasteful leads that both seem to dance with one another. A great example of how to leave plenty of space in one's playing.

In this lesson I cover the rhythm guitar parts, the guitar solos, and the great groove part during the song outro section.

Vaughn Skow did the PA Amp conversion that I used. He makes great pickups and gear, checkout his store at https://www.vaughnskow.com/ and on YT at    / @ucqz2jjvbqhbk3ocsyp1ue9g
