Legs tab
”Legs” is a song from ZZ Top’s 1983 album “Eliminator”. The only ZZ Top member actually playing on the recording is guitarist Billy Gibbons. The recording engineer, Terry Manning, took care of the rest of the instruments. The music video for Legs completed the trilogy that started with “Gimme all your lovin’”, and again features the three Playboy models Jeana Tomasino, Kymberly Herrin and Daniele Arnaud, a.k.a. “The Eliminator Girls”, and Gibbons’ trademark red 1933 Ford hot rod, which he calls “The Eliminator”. Use these guitar tabs to master ZZ Top’s “Legs” and gain the attention of Playboy models!
Legs caused some feminist criticism for its sexual nature and for objectifying women. ZZ Top has had sexually charged lyrics right from the start. Their first hits like La Grange and Tush were probably even more offensive, but with their increasing popularity they drew more protests. “Eliminator” was the first ZZ Top album where the band used synthesizers. However, that shouldn’t keep you from playing “Legs” on your own guitar! Use these guitar tabs to master Gibbon’s guitar playing style and sound. Have fun!
