Musicians Institute and Guitar World bring you a series of guitar lessons with some of the top guitar instructors around.
In this video, blues master Keith Wyatt gives a lesson on Bo Diddley.

[@CroatAndNettles]

The universe before the bo diddley beat and after the bo diddley beat was two very different places.

[@VonBluesman]

Thanks Keith, you are one of the best teachers in the world. GOD bless you.

[@eroystermd827]

so agree

[@josevaldez7196]

I've seen other videos on Bo Diddley's style, but this one is the only one that gets it right!

[@imannonymous7707]

Keiths amazing id give anything to study under him

[@fivethumbsfrank]

Only watched two of these clips so far, best teacher I've seen ever.

[@imannonymous7707]

You can get these lessons in tab from guitar world magizines thats how they were intended , to go together

[@umuse]

Just how I wish a real teacher to be. Absolutely well versed in all facets of his subject. Technically and historically both. Add to that an apparently natural gift for a superb communication, your videos are themselves an artwork! They are narratives in the truest sense of the term, that imbue their subject with life!

[@nubbins40]

The only guitar instruction to get Bo’s rhythm exactly correct! Finally!

[@tomthefunky]

The famous "I'm A Man" lick was written by Matt "Guitar" Murphy. Matt is the black guitarist in The Blues Brothers. He had that great scene in the movie playing Aretha Franklin's husband.

[@asgaard636]

Thank you, Keith: You not only showed me the licks, but gave me great insight into Bo Diddley's sound!

[@CMJR143]

I see this video has been up for a minute, but I have to tell you how much I enjoyed it. Thank you Keith

[@charlesklein9169]

Thanks for the great insight on Bo Diddley's rythmm patterns and uses. Your lesson has been very informative.Thank you.Will be looking forward to future lessons. Keep teaching and have a great day.

[@rinfal]

Excellent Lesson on Mr. Diddley and I'll be checking out more of your lessons. Thank you!

[@SixStringHarmonies]

I think sometimes we get so caught up in theory of melody/harmony and scales/progressions etc., that we need a refresher on the simple rythmic facets of the instrument....nice lesson KW

[@twelvemeister]

keith is a fine guitar teacher . supreme .

This instructor was really cool in the way that he embraced what he's trying to teach..

[@harrydavidson666]

Thank you for the Diddley thing! He's one of my alltime heros - so this helped me a lot!

[@billgreen6263]

Thanks Keith. You're the Best!

[@thegreatestdao]

Keith is the legit guru!

[@MyTube4Utoo]

I don't know how anyone with the sense of hearing couldn't like Bo Diddley. Keith sir, you are the man!!

[@waffle29]

Phenomenal attention to detail! This guy knows his stuff

[@James523001]

Great information! Always enjoy your insights.

[@stevesturdivant6081]

Bring's back a lot of memories !!

[@paulharris8551]

Great lesson! You covered a whole bunch of great stuff. btw there are three hits named Roadrunner and they're all great! Bo Diddley, Junior Walker, and Jonathan Richman.

[@nyacoustics8373]

Awesome upbeat lesson . Very detailed.

[@andyabad1629]

Great stuff Keith!

[@randommoosebrains]

groovy beat, keith wyatt is awesome....

[@6174ever]

Thank you for sharing. This video is a big help.

[@13thAMG]

I am SOOOO in love with that guitar!

[@990rallen]

Thinking the same thing!

[@tonybaloney6656]

Great lesson , licks are so cool

[@peterthomas583]

Bo played open tuning in E major a lot of the time. He also used a capo quite a bit. Thanks for posting

[@skyntyte]

All the time

[@marklillquist7955]

Thanks dude, that was awesome!

[@kobayashimaruaikiken]

GREAT teacher!

[@funguy4utube]

Wow ... super informative !

[@Zarathruster1]

I rem this guy on video cassettes in the early 90's...man hes aged...so have I!!

[@imannonymous7707]

Isnt it funny how we like to give les paul alot of credit for recording techniques and rightly so, but bo didley was another pioneer that took electric guitar tone to another level

[@GeneralTarik]

Great stuff! Ike Turner's (Jackie Breston's) "Rocket 88" is actually based on an older Jump Blues called "Cadillac Boogie" by Jimmy Liggins. Same rhythm except the horns play it instead of guitar.

[@edward892]

This teacher talks the talk and walks the walk.

[@SharpestKnives]

I freaking love this guy!

[@joepalooka2145]

Great lesson, I'm a huge Bo Diddley fan. However, getting the guitar down is only half the challenge. The other half is to sing and play at the same time, and do it like Bo. That's hard!

[@hutchfromba]

Very , very cool man . Thanks ! Jerry

[@BIitzkrieg]

i love this man.

[@ciclosonico]

Keith you're great!!!!!

[@Naafun]

Awesome video, thanks alot! Riff @ 4:55 is so simple but sounds amazing!

[@tidepoolbay]

[@bluesloverdelux5010]

I think bo didleys rhythms are heavy to learn for us medioca guitar players.Great effort on this vid,thanks!

[@VegaMaiden95]

[@astroboirap]

[@Stratolespaul80]

greaat teacher here, he looks like the guy of SHARK

[@AlexanderWS92]

@sch2412 yes that rythm is used quite a bit

[@12001166]

@Noseheros Its an es 295

[@tiktaktrack]

If he was my father he could teach me playing guitar,

[@Metalobsession94]

27th!

[@charlielusk4955]

So he adjusted his finger patterns to the tuning? How would have fingered Bring it to Jerome, which sounds like A G E to me?

[@jeffmccall8112]

That's cool and all but there needs to be a lesson on all the crazy sounds he got from his guitar. the weird slides and bends.

[@12001166]

@Noseheros It's not an es175 goldtop with p90s you berk. Its an es 295 reissue

[@ChrisArtsTube]

MAGIC CARPET RIDE?

[@AllenHarrison]

ba ba ba baddd....

[@Noseheros]

ES-175 goldtop with p-90's? I'll take it

[@metalvocalistwanted]

@TheSethGalleyChannel no way. bill is waaay more charasmatic xD \\m//

[@googo151]

IN LATIN MUSIC WE CALL THE HAIR CUT RIFF, "CLAVE".

[@townside_woodcraft]

looks like your the real "berk" here, that aint a reissue, its the real deal, you can tell from the finish on the close ups, also the reissue that came out in the 90s had gold p90s not the cream ones and also if you listen he says its old,

[@thomasbaker4657]

check-not fade away,b. holley.

[@nevigo5519]

@TheSethGalleyChannel Poor Keith.:)

[@Noseheros]

@12001166 What is the difference? not trying be a jerk I really wana know

[@maplegodx150]

bo diddley sounds funny just like Lawlashakashannys

[@AlexanderWS92]

the billy bo guitar was a solid body, not a hollow body

[@brt927]

@Ihateyoubillclinton did you LISTEN TO WHAT HE WAS SAYING?!

[@vdeferens]

@CriticsConfession What about heterosexuals? Can they practise for a month and play fast?

[@jacko717]

Good lesson, but not for complete beginners.

[@kenmoore3086]

This guy is full of himself and all the skills he has. Its all about him. Can't stand to listen to him.

[@davekiddie4467]

Jealous

[@skyntyte]

3:50 You might be great at what you do, but the funk is lacking. 6:06 Really? Some things just can't be taught.

[@danefan2904]

Well..where is your contribution, Sir?

[@dontanner232]

Keith taught me how to play the blues.
