Getting That "La Grange" Sound

[Pink Unicorn Horsey]

How does Billy Gibbons get that tastey sound for the solo sections of "La Grange" (besides using a Mexican Peso as a pick and being Billy Gibbons)? I'm talking guitar, amp and everything in between.

One of y'all must know how he does it.

Wouldn't mind knowing how he's getting that overdriven rhythm part either.

Strat through an old cranked up 57 Fender Tweed Deluxe amp....The strat that Hendrix gave Billy...From what I've read? You never "really" know what Billy used or uses though?

The gear that Billy Gibbons uses is literally all over the map. If you dont believe me do a search for my "Cheap Sunglasses" thread and give it a good read.

He sure can spin some tales, can't he!

Low output 'buckers and poweramp distortion.

Or so, that's how it sounds to my ears.

Nope....Alot of that early stuff is strat and tweed amps and a mixture of Pearly...

Should not be too difficult, just keep practicing you'll get it soon enough.

Well said. For me, it's all in fingerpicking the intro/main riff properly.
