Rumble by Link Wray | Guitar Lesson

An easy to play, super-cool classic. Hard to believe this came out in 1958. Find the free tab/music here as well as the backing track I play over at the start of the video: www.anyonecanplayguitar.co.uk/...

It's refreshing to see someone use proper musical instruction.....counting rhythm's, time signatures, identifying notes and cord names. My guitar teacher had me read notation from a drum book for 9 months to learn how to count rhythm and play "in-time". It was boring as hell for a teenager who just wanted to play Metallica. But after nine months of counting/playing whole/half/quarter eighth/sixteenth notes and triplets in all kinds of time signatures, to a metronome, my timing was solid as a rock. Best nine months of instruction I had on the guitar and it's lasted a lifetime (thanks John Pramious).

This song was completely different than anything else in 1958. It still sounds so rebellious and kick ass to this day.

Although there never is really one true "first" song in any movement or genre, this one comes pretty darn close to being a truly seminal song that jump-started a whole new world of rock music. And it holds the distinction of being the only instrumental song ever to have been banned in the U.S. (At the time, "rumble" was a word for a street fight between gangs, so the provocative title was the main cause of the bans, and the sinister sound of distorted music -- almost never used before then -- didn't help its cause.)

If u wanna Rumble, this is clearly the best lesson on KZbin! I'm a newbie n my teacher gave me this to work on. Very enlightening... TY!

[@peterrezba995]

amazing how great the tune was written with the simplest structure natural like it was always there

[@johnryan-oc4zj]

I love the way you present this song. I bought the record back in the 50's and still have it and while I'm very new to the guitar I have learned to play this song, not super well but I;m still learning. This song has to be one of the fathers of heavy metal. To me it was well ahead of it's time but I loved then and still do. Again your lesson on this song was excellent.

Im 75 now and bought "Rumble" in 58 when i was 14,we went mad over it in school along with many other U.S.A. Billboard hits,all classics now and oh so glad i was around at the advent of R/R.and in no way would want to be 10yrs younger as would have missed out on that special era in music.

Hi Adrian, I bought a telecaster 3 weeks ago ( I'm 56 and have never played an instrument before) I've been following your Rumble lesson for 2 weeks and can play A , E , D and B7 now . Now learning how to change chord quicker and more smoothly......then on to timing and then finally that manic bit lol you are the best teacher I've come across on KZbin thank you so much for taking the time to share some of your knowledge..... you cock man !

[@macktk0256]

Superbly done - easy to play, not easy to sound good!

[@enzodepaola6160]

Although, the song is not very complicated, its full of "coolness" and attitude. Your lesson is excellent ! Really enjoyand appreciate your lessons Grazie !

[@Rob-qr2kn]

Best tutorial of this song Sir. Thank You !

[@TheVatonaught]

Thanks for the tab...I was a young 16 year old when this came out on the radio...I felt like I had been electrified... it was so different.

[@snolan1990]

Using this tutorial as a guide to wrap my head around the guitar in general... been playing keys for about 10 years but never touched a stringed instrument before.

[@larzonya]

This is a brilliant tutorial.

[@khogg3581]

This is one of the first things I learned when I got my electric guitar. So easy and fun.

[@ronlight7013]

An oldie but a goodie, Adrian. Both the song and your lesson, that is. Since trying to learn Rumble as a beginning student (still at it, four years later!) I've accumulated Rumble instruction lessons from a number of different online teachers and probably bear the dubious distinction now of being somewhat of a connoisseur of Rumble study aides. Ha! From a technical standpoint, I thank your lesson is the best I've found with the greatest attention to detail and step-by-step analysis of the song. Thank you! You're one of my favorite online guitar instructors, again with the dubious distinction of my having subscribed to most!

[@lizardofoz5329]

Thank you for helping me to fulfill
