Thanks for posting. I’m an 81 year old who loved the rock sounds back in the day but couldn’t afford a guitar. I also assumed that my fingers were too small. I played a second hand clarinet. I took up guitar in my early twenties. Though I play folk, American Songbook, light classical, I still love the fifties sounds! 13:22 I am American, living in California.

what a guy

[@matthewedwardhall]

Ive really been searching, trying to figure out this tone and style for a while. as a kid, i heard 50s Rock & Roll instrumentals playing at the "Daytona Diner." A popular 50s style diner right on the beach". The guitar tone was so pure and beautiful it stuck with me my entire life and i didnt start teaching myself guitar until recently. I told myself id never watch how-to videos, but swallowed my pride and happy i did and happy i found this video. You clarified a lot of things and i even picked up playing over the neck pickup, using the bridge pickup. Also the fact that my Telecaster will get the job done and that i dont need another guitar to accomplish this tone ive been searching for. youre the closest to it ive heard so far.

[@poboypowder7567]

Matthew Edward Hall teles definitely have the closest 50s sound

[@jamestully9253]

I was 11 years old when BILL HALLEY kicked off rock an roll, the music was fresh and fun . your vid sparked a lot of memories, more of this please it gets the blood flowing thankyou.

[@davidmulvey8443]

Great lessen, man after my own heart, will be back for more, going for a pint first.

[@giuliacarelli]

I really want to play like this, that’s it

[@carlbaumeister3439]

Do it!

[@mikewoike9429]

I'll be happy when I stop walking on my knuckles and start understanding all of this a little more.

[@DaisyHollowBooks]

I’ve come to guitar a bit late in life. This is very helpful to me. Thanks for making this video.

[@Wabin22]

Wow, I never thought I'd hear "Cradle of Filth" in a guitar video explaining how to play 50's Rock ;)

[@ericoftheotherworld1525]

Hahaha! Yeah, was awesome. Goes to show you he is well versed in music in general.

[@BrandochGarage]

Thanks for keeping the music alive!

[@Musicalsoda]

That was really helpful! Especialy the effects! Thank you! Ive actually been studying a lot more this year I'm 27 and mainly consider myself as a singer. But I really want to buckle down and dial in my guitar skills this year. And i love this sound so once again thank you!

[@ShumonB]

Cant wait to learn this it's an amazing time for rock and roll

[@sergiovazquez170]

Por fin encontré lo buscaba ..este sonido que no pasará de moda nunca..gracias por tus vídeos.los pondré en práctica...

[@walkerplaza2547]

You made my day! This is going to be a fun weekend learning all this stuff! Thank you Mr. J R!

[@frmcf]

Yeah!!!! ALL the rock n roll licks! Thanks for sharing your pearls of wisdom John.

[@Victor-qu7yz]

You should work in a radio!beautiful voice

[@lichkrieg4898]

im planning on using these for punk and with high gain. i want that 50s vibe but in a way its mixed with 80s & 90s punk and metal.

[@TheFairway8]

Many of the 70s punk bands guitar was based on a punked up rock n roll guitar tone think bands like The Heartbreakers some Damned, The Clash, Dead boys most of The Pistols, The Cramps, many many bands. I often referred to it as punk rock n roll. During the 80s rockabilly became very big at least over here in the UK. Bands like The Meteors, Guana Bats, King Kurt all played rock n roll with a real punk edge usually on the same bill as punk bands. Later you’ve got bands like The Living End particularly early stuff, Chris Cheney is a phenomenal player, Tiger Army.

[@malcolmwindust3888]

That was great John, thanks very much! Scotty Moore meets Chuck Berry!

[@jimnixon5573]

Aye,aye John,good stuff mate. As they say,"Just give me some of that Rock `n` Rollin music", The oldie showed us the way....long live Chuck Berry !! Keep them coming john,makes us oldies want to pick up and play,cheers.

[@rogerweafer2179]

Great turn around at the solo's end. Lot's to chew on...best in bite size pieces. Thanks John.

[@wrongchordsrecords]

i suppose because a lot of these are just themes it 's all about practice and trying out new bits , john can play them quite quickly , im dragging behind !

[@shaunw9270]

Now I really want to play Lonesome Train and Baby Blue Eyes ! Great video thanks 👌

[@michaelwinemiller9250]

Brilliant man ! One of your best lessons we are all starving for this stuff.

[@mikerose7865]

This is great, all of those cool licks, chords, etc right here! Excellent!! Thanks John, have a cold one on me!!

[@leodanryan966]

Good morning John. More to come after coffee.

[@ssm445]

1:30 into the video: yeah, go on playing, I prefer that to a lesson :)

[@redstrat1234]

That solo was great fun. Nice work sir

[@dedisyles]

so loved, thanks a lot!!!!

[@justwhendrunk]

Cheers John boy! Love your content and especially your reviews. Keep up the great work!

[@carlbaumeister3439]

Fantastic! I love your playing!

[@neilmurphy9926]

Mate this is great

[@kjv444]

Love your videos John, and I love the sound of your voice.

[@JRobsonGuitar]

There speaks a man who's never heard me sing 😀

[@bigshuff]

"I'm going to go and have a beer" A line taken from the days we could all enjoy ourselves before lock down. Seems such a long time ago now. And I'm gagging for one.

[@Chimp_No_1]

Absolutely wonderful !

[@MikeCindyWhite]

Great chops bro! Thanks as always my friend 🎼🎼🎸🎸👍👍

[@markfahey3921]

As a rock and roll player, I like the amp sound to be just at the point of break up with a delay pedal too much overdrive defeat the object.

[@MegaNavek]

Really great ...good man..wish you every success

[@timaddison707]

Great lesson John, keep up good work. Maybe you could do a lesson on getting different tones out of guitar without using pedals. Frustrating to see how many Fx some amateur players think they need.

[@philipjones7372]

Thank you 👍🏼🎵

[@mbert6019]

Very cool stuff daddy-o

[@robinfawcett7973]

Great demo John - thanks. That Gordon Smith sounds great! Are you a bit in love with it?

[@JRobsonGuitar]

Can you tell? 😀

[@Guitarworks1000]

great video as always John!

[@hayley8715]

thanks very much, this was a great place to start for this style & sound, Subbed.

[@MikeyNewman1974]

This has been a great video, many thanks.

[@casaMariaPT]

Great video, thanks. Liked, subbed and rung the bell!

[@RobynCrest]

Nice Gordon-Smith!

[@colinjoreilly]

This is so awesome

[@ste5012]

Great vid thanks John

[@sledge1960]

Pure Gold|!!!

[@nightwishlover8913]

Cakewalk! Yay! Good Man!

[@JRobsonGuitar]

Been using it (in one form or another) since 2002. Briefly defected to Reaper but soon returned to the fold 😀

[@nightwishlover8913]

@@JRobsonGuitar It's a lot easier to work with something you know...Plus it's now FREE!!

[@georgemcfly331]

nice tone!

[@JRobsonGuitar]

Cheers 👍

[@vicmorrison8128]

Very good.

[@michaelcraig9449]

Ibanez or ESP guitar, Metal Zone pedal and Line 6 modeling amp. Best rock and roll tone, ..... said no one ever.

[@vulgarresponse7080]

Sounds very Scotty Moorish!

[@mrlongtree]

Love it, 😸

[@cliveclive54]

Cheers John \m/

[@nathanpenick959]

This is more rockabilly, a specific form of earth rock n roll, but I want to know where people like Johnny Thunders get that unique 50s sound. That’s more “rock n roll” to me

[@cornucopia8591]

Sounds more like neorockabilly Stray Cats-like picking... No such overdriven sounds those days.

[@JRobsonGuitar]

I beg to differ. The low wattage amps that were common in those days would begin to break up pretty easily. Take a listen to Scotty Moore's sound on Hound Dog & it's a long way from being totally clean, same with Buddy Holly's sound on Oh Boy. Listen closely to even Hank Marvin's sound & you'll hear that AC30 starting to fur up around the edges more than a little.

[@SteamvilleQuintet]

Yay rockabilly - what made the Beatles famous back when John only knew 3 chords.

[@peterthegreat996]

SteampunkBelladonna he knew a few more then 3, more like ... all of them

[@PoopyFrikoli]

They say they didn’t know that many but you listen to those first albums they knew some chords

[@waleskareviews2414]

I’ll stick to smoke on the water 😰

[@truthboy3936]

Hey John would you know what player (or solo) inspired this solo from Jimmy Page , sounds like early Rock and Roll to me …Starts at 8:12 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKO4eamGnN2fmdk thanks

[@sourabhsoni7845]

It's just 1 year old and the cakewalk delay and reverb you are ising looks like way too old from the time of sonar?

[@JRobsonGuitar]

I was using an older version 9f Music Creator.
