Great lesson sir. Clear, precise, original key, no gratuitous gab. Good speed and repeats. No showing off. Very fine instruction. Thank you.

[@draster541]

It’s amazing that 11 months ago you were the only one teaching this song. Now there’s about 9 teaching this song. I still think yours was & still the best tutorial. Easy to follow & well explained.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@nicolesteyn9336]

I actually learned more than I was looking for. That's always fantastic!!! For example I never knew about blues often starting on an augmented or fifth chord. I will now be looking out for that! Thanks!!

[@CenterStageGuitar]

Nicole, this is the kinda thing we hope subscribers get out of learning these songs. Fantastic! And thanks for the comment!

[@draster541]

Your still the only one on the World Wide Web that is teaching this song. Every few months I go back & redo it again. Excellent teaching.

[@stephentoto6564]

Great lesson on my favorite Chuck Berry song,thanks-now I see where John Lennon picked up the opening riff for "Revolution" did everyone catch it!,listen on the solo!

[@lolbroh]

Fqing awsome Tutorial, Totally clear and great explaination! I'm playing with my Classic guitar also with plackdrums.. and need some help to play with my fingers like you do in this video. Coz I cant play with fingers yet.. Its a Dream to buy and play on a Semi-Acoustic Guitar! This guy is # - G enieus, (my grammar is not so well., coz I'm Dutch)

[@lolbroh]

Just got a Harley Benton Semi Acoustic (Lookalike Gretch) and its very good, I can almost play Moovin' Grovin from my Idol "Duane Eddy"

[@elijahcamacho8370]

DOPE, thanks

[@lillywest]

Cool ! Thanks a lot ... I've got to rehearse a lot now ;)

[@crazyade9556]

Love this as a learner, but i do notice in the video of Chuck, he plays the rhythm whilst the other guitarist plays the lead, then Chuck jumps in with the solo's?

[@f.ochabrillat9368]

merci , bon professeur

[@OldSchoolBluesGuitar]

I really think the first lick of the first solo is higher on the neck - 10th and 11th frets of 1st and 2nd string? He's also bending up on the second string while picking both strings. It's still the D-shape, but only part of it played 3 frets up. Give it a try.

[@joe18425]

Your good at that 😮

[@Sluggo-qu5ir]

Thanks for posting this. I've always wanted to learn to play this song and the instruction here is pretty darn good. A small quibble: (@6:30 on the vid) I think Chuck starts out the first solo playing the B, G and D strings up at the 15th fret (B string) in "F" chord formation, rather than on the E, B, and G strings in "D" formation. At least, I'm able to get it to sound more like the record like that. A slightly bigger quibble: instruction for the entire longer outro solo is missing here (apart from the closing notes). That solo differs significantly from the first one and being able to see it would have made this "how to" vid pretty much perfect. Neverthess, thanks much for a really good lesson.

[@heinzjandik7937]

Sluggo5112 I agree with you. The outro solo is much more difficult, would be good if it were taught here also.

[@Sluggo-qu5ir]

Hi Heinz. I just noticed your reply to my comment from a while back. If you can track down a book/CD publication titled "Greatest Guitar Solos of All Time" by Wolf Marshall (part of the Guitar Signature Licks series published by Hal Leonard) the No Particular Place To Go outro solo is transcribed starting on page 9 and demonstrated slow and fast on the CD. I hope you find that helpful.

[@sorenharajdic7803]

tanks a lot

[@D4V30]

How about doing the end solo?

[@writerNB]

A worthy effort! Thanks for posting... I've played (mostly acoustics) - so find Berry's style very demanding. It's always fast, its always "call and answer" and he delivers a precise vocal to boot! For any purists out there, I've read he favoured Gib ES350s (for early recordings) and, later, the ES355 (when it was released by Gibson in 1958). He was using "flatwounds" - not sure what they are yet? (Some kind of string - not sure which gauge). I think he did palm-mute (slightly) when the fancy took him. Questions I'd like to ask...: Whats a "double stop", please? And, does anyone know what amp he favoured? (If any... I am guessin early Marshalls maybe?) Thoughts welcome!

[@CenterStageGuitar]

Generally speaking a double stop is the playing of 2 notes at once. Not sure what kind of amps he used. It's a good question. I am guessing fender

[@writerNB]

Thanks for the feedback, brother. Playing 2 notes at once (in the acoustic guitar world) usually means plucking two notes to form a "chord" of sorts, but I'm not sure that's what you mean in this case. (I need to look it up, I guess). Somewhere, someone will know which amps Berry favoured. Fender (on the few occasions Ive been hooked up to one) seem to have a "brighter" feel - that makes sense in terms of Berry's bright, precise playing. (He was VERY precise...I mean almost flawless - even though he mixes it up abit). Appreciate your thoughts, though. As usual, more research needed... Although researching Berry isnt that straightforward- He realised how many wished to imitate him - so jealously guarded his guitars (and you'll notice sometimes turns away from his audience, while playing live).

[@juliesdiary7229]

nice

[@JNITLOST]

Any chance of doing it in E?

[@rileyramone6231]

This is a great lesson, but I really wish you would use a guitar that had fret makers that are easier to see.

[@stotty71]

Fab

[@joshuahytrek4178]

Thanks for the tutorial! Btw you kind of remind me of Shia Lebeof lol

[@rajeshgumber363]

Hi, I have a question at time 3:22 , you mention G Minor, curious why G Minor is used when the key of the song is in G Major or am I missing something in the theory? Thankyou

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

How chuck used to do this and bounce all over the stage duck walking and doing the splits etc I will never know , legend .

[@IgHul666]

@maxmik2: Gretsch Electromatic 5120.

[@kirkobayne9090]

Damn, I want a Gretsch!

[@maxmik2]

What is that guitar?

[@chloerobincantrell1028]

I already know the song and didn’t come for the lesson... solely came to look at that guitar. Damn, the color and everything, I think it’s time I look into a Gretsch 😏

[@avantill]

It don't hurt to have longer fingers , mine are short !

[@FishAndBits1]

*Please ending solo! Ending solo is difficult!*

[@imannonymous7707]

Nice....alot of space in this track sometimes it's what u dont play

[@DannyGatton94]

This and school days are literally the same thing

[@6haybay]

I cannot stretch my fingers that dear to the 7th !!??

[@sfernando1]

IT WOULD HELP IF YOU USE A GUITAR THAT HAS WHITE DOTS ON THE FRETBOARD

[@thekingofelfland3294]

They are along the top of the neck if you really need them. Plus, he calls out the fret position and he gives you the notes and the chord name. Good luck.

[@pippipster7705]

Stop saying pinkie Ahhhhhhhhhh

[@cosfishin5616]

your to fast and pot a different view on the neck

[@dorothyhughes9443]
