Learn how to play I Thank You, as performed by ZZ top released in 1979 as part of their Degüello album. A great cover tune from the original Sam & Dave version from 1968, but ZZ Top fully made it their own with their flavor on it.

The lesson covers all the tasty lead bits and how the rhythm/verse sections are played on guitar.
