5 More Rock 'n' Roll Songs with Just 4 Chords! - A Rockin' Medley - Jez Quayle

[@pkortalk]

I am 77 years old. Your music just me a bit nostalgic but makes me happy 😊.

[@RocknRollSongbook]

Hi Paul! It's good to know this brought back some good memories for you - Jez

[@branislavlazic9437]

I used to play guitar many times ago.....with our country songs. After many ,many years, I have got big wish to start play guitar again....listening and looking your easy approach to play guitar like ritham, not solo,....thank you.

[@RocknRollSongbook]

I hope you have fun making friends with your guitar again! You can do a hell of lot with just a few chords ...and a lot of rhythm! - Jez 😄

[@patcummins6036]

Same here brother! Back having a go again at 76. BTW Jez, I just ordered your “50 from the 50s song book off Amazon to help me reconnect.

[@victorthompson6192]

Ordered your songbook. Back playing guitar at 76 and a songbook is the only way to go! It’s a bit difficult to read the chords of an IPad around the campfire. Thanks again Jez. All I gotta do now is learn to sing so people don’t pack up and go home! LOL!

[@RocknRollSongbook]

Played through your book, fun and easy...next we need to figure out how to get out of basic chord strumming a little riff and back into chord strumming...like the way you open this video,,,,

[@RocknRollSongbook]

I'm glad you like the songbook. Thanks very much for the Amazon review btw. I've only made one lead guitar video so far (the lead guitar parts in Chuck Berry's 'Roll Over Beethoven'). It's aimed at fairly advanced players I suppose, but you may find it useful if you'd like to play some of those bluesy style licks. Here's a link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2fbe32VhKh7d9E The string bends are much easy on electric guitar than acoustic guitar.

Hello, great tutorial, thank you. The thing that bring additional attractiveness to your performance is the way of singing rock&roll songs. You sing it with lot of nice vocal "riffs", just like you use the riffs in guitar playing. A tutorial about your way of rock&roll singing would be interesting to see, as well :). V

[@RocknRollSongbook]

Thanks very much! That's very nice of you to say. I've been thinking about making a rock 'n' roll singing tutorial actually. I'm not sure what I could teach though. I'm not fully aware of some of what I do.

Hi Jez, I'm loving these tutorials I bought your book I think its great to see chords and lyrics for each song but would've been even better if it showed the strumming pattern for each song. I'm trying to play Memphis Tennesse and Twenty flight rock. Thanks G

[@RocknRollSongbook]

Thanks very much Gordon! I'm glad you like my tutorials. And thanks for the book purchase! I deliberately didn't specify any particular strumming for any of the songs, as there's really no single way of playing them. Rock 'n' roll is a very flexible musical genre. For example, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran and Jerry Lee Lewis all covered Little Richard and Chuck Berry songs, but they all played them differently to the original recordings, and differently from each other. Many guitarists will use two or more different strumming within a song as they switch between different parts of the song (e.g., changing from a verse to a chorus, to an instrumental break, etc.). Also, I didn't want to assume that all of the guitarists using the songbook would wish to strum chords -- some might wish to play rock 'n' roll riffs, such as those I teach in my tutorials in place of the open chords. However, when I play 'Memphis Tennessee' with open chords, I mostly use strumming pattern #4 (on page 3 of the songbook). When I play 'Twenty Flight Rock', I usually play it using riffs, but if I use open chords, I mostly use strumming pattern #3. I hope that helps a little - Jez 😊

Hello Jez do you do a video where you run through one of the actual song sheets in your book as written if not that would be great Rich

[@RocknRollSongbook]

Hi Rich. Yes, I've been planning to do something like that. Until I do, if you browse around my channel you'll find lots of songs that are played with the same chords and arrangements as those in the songbook. I may not always play them with open chords, but you should be able to use the songbook to strum along with me. Here are some examples: - Chuck Berry's 'Rock and Roll Music': kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmPceZR6bLigZqs - Little Richard's 'Tutti Frutti': kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3rYgqaMgJ2djbc - Buddy Holly's 'That'll Be The Day': kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5SQmXiimqiiibc Let me know how you get on - Jez

You’re right about the picks I use: Jim Dunlop Delrin .46mm gauge. I usually use Martin .013 gauge strings on this guitar, …sometimes .012, which may have been the case in this video.
