La Grange by ZZ Top

[greghagger]

One of ZZ Top's most well-known tunes has to be 'La Grange' which you'll hear being covered at many a jam night.

 

The main riff is straightforward to play but the bridge tends to cause problems. It's actually very simple once you know to ignore the rhythm of the guitar part in that section.

 

This is a great Southern Rock tune and although it's not too technical to play, you need to really lock into a solid Boogie Blues bass groove and maintain it for pretty much the whole tune.

 

Full transcription in standard notation and Tab under the video lesson. 

 

Enjoy!
