thanks man! by the way, pretty god job, it's a period that i must to listen more

[@marcusbjjvinicios689]

David Novotny Music ll

[@jazzbell4830]

As I was watching I show was thinking about creating a playlist of these songs.

[@steveokon5431]

David Novotny Music that was great to see David,, loved it

[@moravianmargrave6509]

Hello David, I really enjoyed your video. Absolutely marvelous! I would like to ask you what chords did you play in Come on everybody? Every chord chart on the internet says that its E A B7 A E. But it doesnt sound well. Your version sounds better...

[@contentnotfound3599]

I like how almost every Chuck Berry song in existence is literally the same riff

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

Don't fix it if it ain't broken Maybellene is different though and school days, oh and nadine, oh and no money down, oh yea wee wee hours if different too......oh and sweet little sixteen yes that's different too oh wait a minute so is the house of blue lights and err let's see oh yes talking bout you is different and err let me see oh yes come on is totally different, I think for your embarresment sake I will leave it there..

[@dorkle9085]

You've clearly only heard like two of his songs

[@JoeSiris]

@@dorkle9085 Johnny B. Goode, Roll Over Beethoven, Run Run Rudolph, Carol... Imagine the backlash there'd be if a modern band released 4+ songs with *almost* the exact same instrumental.

[@gedztrez8814]

When you listen to chuck berry, chances are there's one other song with a similar (if not exactly the same) opening riff Let it rock-johnny b goode-carole, many more School day-no particular place to go Maybelline-thirty days Again, many more than these few examples

[@imannonymous7707]

Thats not true. Chuck had an arsenal of licks and ya some were variations.....but brown eyed man memphis maybeline and never can tell sound nothing like johnny b goode or each other

[@VioletGiraffe]

Awesome. Finally, someone calling "rock-n-roll" actual rock'n'roll and not classic hard rock.

[@DanielJayHouk]

VioletGiraffe exactly lol. Thats always bothered me.

[@no_peaches_8085]

so true, there are people doing rock n roll guitar riffs playing metallica and nirvana snd I'm like wtf

[@riccardocondorelli2220]

You look like a young Keith Moon

[@paulsam4159]

he looks like Keith Moon, Pete Townshend and Charlie Watts at the same time

[@koaladelespace]

you can see the evolution from blues to rock n roll. nice

[@funguy4utube]

You truly deserve that Rickenbacker. As a now 73 year old guitar player … wanna say it gives me a good feeling to see someone so young not only love my childhood n teen years music …. But to also be a masterful player too …. It Is to me most excellent and heartwarming!!!!

[@alissaflorisbal13]

Why doesn't this have more views? It's just brilliant!

[@Huntersaccount]

That rickenbacker sounds awesome man

[@paulnottherealmccartney8558]

[@michaelkennedy20]

WHAT A MEMORY! WHAT A PLAYER!! (never be out of work) FANTASTIC GUITARIST!!!!!

[@alexcastro7339]

He looks just like a very young Keith Moon, right?

[@johnnycarr1999]

Yeah but he really looks like the guy who got the dart in the head, could even be him

[@brendanmchugh7807]

Keith Moon!! how are you man its been so long

[@sgtlonly6145]

This dude looks like Keith moon from The Who

[@Stando0]

KZbin recommended me this today and I'm so glag for it. Keep it up! 100 riffs in one take is really impressive.

[@FuzzyDancingBear]

I'm glag too

[@eduardoescobar566]

Thanks you Keith Moon.

[@TheoButKindaNot]

I didn’t know that many, but who else recognized the pattern of chuck berry riffs, hint: at the beggining

[@joshuamarshall7360]

1962: *The Beatles have entered the chat.*

[@xpmark1]

Terrific.That Peggy Sue riff blew my socks off.

[@ala0284]

Every chuck berry song is just johnny b goode but somehow not

[@pavonotaturkey5834]

ikr

[@viggoulander9671]

ALA_Legend 02 Johnny b goode was one of the later songs with that style..

[@charlesbautista4239]

As a beatles fan I had fun watching this

[@beatlescrack2839]

I am too😂✋

[@TheWalrus-rb9ee]

So many Beatles riffs, yo really deserve that Rickenbacker.

[@dylancory3669]

The Walrus 1138 when he joked about breaking the guitar I nearly died. That’s a 1,700 dollar guitar

[@uhhhhyourmom]

Man the Beatles really did bring a lot of creativity to the table.

[@dejhideyoshi8587]

Oh man, you nailed every piece of riff u played and I love it -- keep rckn!

[@lukasw.1038]

I didn't know Keith Moon played Guitar!

[@theloniouscoltrane3778]

[@stewartsnape1231]

Excellent a great collection of hits , many from the 60s.

[@miv-7776]

Is no one gonna point out that Keith Moon just played guitar

[@foggymountainmusic3468]

Thank you for including my uncle in this. I deeply appreciate it! 🙏❤️

[@stevenschoenfeld5751]

Great video love this did a superb job great playing fantastic guitar love Rickenbacker’s 👍♥️👏👋😷

[@VirreFriberg]

Keith Moon gave up his drumming career and became a guitarist

[@abejakosalem2882]

i cannot even complete"Words of love " ,You are gifted and i like your being boyish...

[@Gadelharone]

I didn't know that Ringo Starr was also a guitar player

[@c24arts95]

Rone Gadelha lmaooo 🤣

[@dirtbikeguy72]

Looks more like Pete Townsend

[@brynsacto]

THIS GUY IS AWESOME

[@mikaelsjoberg1894]

Wow both Pete Townsend and Keith Moon incarnated in one person.

[@cs-7]

Some of the greatest guitar riffs known to man.

[@MetalGearDavid98]

Keith moon plays guitar?

[@ethanjonahjorge7994]

People forget that he did this in one take without tuning in between so of course the last songs are gonna be out of tune

[@TonyHickschick]

Love this! This is my kind of music and I know most of the songs you played.

[@titarode8554]

This is just AWESOME 😃👌🎶🎵🎼🎸

[@louiso.4325]

I was like "Bruh! What about satisfaction?!" But then you delivered. Nice job.

[@johnwelch557]

Terrific play. Awesome songs. Your memory for such a long set is incredible! Most all of my early years favs. I love the Ric! Thanks for humbling me.....Ha!

[@redbxstr]

Excellent performance and memories. I grew up during that era.

[@monzo9999]

This was where I first heard the riff to satisfaction

[@johannescornelius]

Out of our heads... Great job David !

[@ansias77]

Fantastic job. Really hard to keep all those riffs on mind and play 'em in a row

[@ColinStuart]

Thanks David, you've taken me back to when I played my 330 Rickenbacker from March 1964. Before 5 strokes took most of my ability away!

[@alvaroreyes1653]

What a bunch of great and immortal riffs were recorded in 1965!!! Very good video and nice playing

[@cathanmccann1769]

The sound of that Rickenbacker

[@BooBoo_17]

Definitely one of my favorite eras for music. You are great

[@matthewperry5310]

One of the few videos I have watched all the way through.

[@Diamondwhytee]

Bravo Keith 😁 keeping the dream alive

[@alexraphael6534]

It's like a playlist I can use to remind me of what to track down and listen to! Excellent!

[@verandi3882]

we have seen a lot of this kind of videos, but it's Keith moon playing a rickenbacker

[@jods1]

I love that nearly 1/5 of this catalogue is by the Beatles. It shows how good (and big) they were and still are. 😊 Thanks for making my day. 🖖😊

[@binarybox.binarybox]

Played without a fuzz box then up pops number 100 with the Stones...all riffs easily identified ...nice. 8-)

[@kyleciarrocchi]

In other words, the beatles are the best

[@peterwright5249]

Why ???????

[@Breeze1]

They just are

[@renanalencar2369]

From 100 songs, 18 are by the Beatles! The biggest band of the world!

[@ashwinam]

Phenomenal stuff. Well done. Congratulations

[@The_Penny_Seventeens]

That was some nice playing!!

[@stefannaf1348]

That’s the sound. I love it. Thanks David. I am a drummer, wish we could play together...

[@georgeparasol4602]

Awesome job bro. Loved how you put a bunch of Beatles songs on there!

[@jimiblackbeard6691]

Wow, toll, du hast es drauf. Es macht Spaß dir zuzuhören. Gute Arbeit.

[@owendureke5148]

He is too good to not be in a band. Saved to my playlist.

[@etransform]

I was blown away by your KZbin video because it encapsulated every song I used know and love and play on my guitar from the 50's to the 70's when I grew up in Northern England. If only you could have played each song for a little bit longer. Thnx.

[@vassa1972]

Wish that I could do that kid, great work

[@Rock-iw7ov]

Wow hi Keith Moon I didn't know you were still alive and young and could play guitar this well

[@deldia]

A hard day’s night was the best. Bravo. I’d never heard of that 1961 Beatles instrumental before.

[@becomingbond9406]

Do you mean "Cry For A Shadow"? A Hard Day's Night is from '64.

[@deldia]

Becoming Bond read my comment again. Separate sentences.

[@becomingbond9406]

Oh sorry! I didn't realize. Sorry.

[@Domindian2829]

lovely Fadd9 chord :)

[@becomingbond9406]

B4_BertoB yeah! Combined with a Dsus4 on Lennon's acoustic, a D on McCartneys Bass, both cymbals being hit at the same time by Starr, and George Martin playing a G on the piano! It's so good.

[@jbtex784]

When he did 'Satisfaction' at the end I had to give it a like.

[@deanteti4485]

Bravo! Great job.

[@MrRichulan]

The way you put all those tunes together in one mix is done with great musicality. And the same goes for the performance! Very interesting, and a pleasure for the ears. (Those were and are great riffs, and easy to recognise!)

[@dimitreze]

Incredible! 👍 The amount of riffs, and the fact you play them in a row!

[@robertcardenas2019]

Amazing, brother...wow, well done

[@robertcardenas2019]

I just recently picked up guitar, and slowly learning. I got the cowboy chords down alright, like I can go back n forth from E to G like nobody's business, haha, but I still pretty slow....don't even get me started on those bar chords, ouch!
