Good point in the lesson. Just because the song only has three chords doesn't mean you should underestimate Buddy Holly. Just goes to show you how important the basic fundamentals are. Just like in boxing or martial arts, you may be able to hit and kick hard, but if you have improper balance, a weak stance and a sloppy technique, then you will fall flat.
Yo, guys like you stick to the real thing as originally played. So many otherwise good players ignore or fail to grasp the nuances of original recordings. Good job.
I didn't think this lesson was "rough" at all, Hoodrio.! I tried to learn from this lesson four years ago when I bought my first electric guitar, but I was too ignorant to get it. Today, everything made sense and fell right into place. Thanks for posting. I've watched your other lessons as well, and they are all good.
Hoodro, this was a lot of fun. I happen to love the Grateful Dead's cover. especially the way this tune leads them into more traditional music.for me, it puts Holly in w/ legendary American folk (the double live 'Bertha' record),and it fits, but that's me .nice sound on that baby blue strat .Buddy would've liked it.
I wasn't going to watch any lesson videos for this song because I thought "oh I got this, Bo Diddley...yaya". You were totally right, I was starting the rhythm lick on the wrong beat. Thanks dude.
This is how I've always played it since I was 14 when I learned it I'm glad I've been playing it right the entire time I'm 20 now and Buddy Holly is still my favorite guitar player I've always said he played rhythm lead more than regular rhythm I've been playing guitar since I was 7 cause of Luther Perkins and Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry I use GHS 9 gauge flatwounds strings with super light gauge thin strings from a 8 gauge strings pack so I can bend and solo easier so pretty much my own custom string gauge is 9/38
By far the best lesson for this song on RUclips! Do you think you could make a lesson for "Brown Eyed Handsome Man" by Chuck Berry? I can't find any lessons or decent tab online for it.
No, but good question. When I said that the A-D is also a I-IV, I didn't mean that the key of the song had changed but rather was just trying to demonstrate the relationship between those 2 chords and how it mirrors the E-A relationship (which is also a I-IV). Think of it this way: The song is in E, and he plays a little riff over the IV chord (A). That riff is A-D.
You mention others don't show the right way to play it.....yet...then you say "You can do it this way...or that way"....well.....what is the exact correct way?
I think either way you get the same D-shape E, it was how he came into it. Taken with the move up the fret board, the "barre" approach makes sense. Or if you are a rookie like me.

Thank you.
SSL-1 neck and middle; SSL-5 bridge.
2:15 excellent idea! thats what im doing
wow
Is that a key change when it goes A-D-A. D isn't in the key of E is it ?
No, but good question. When I said that the A-D is also a I-IV, I didn't mean that the key of the song had changed but rather was just trying to demonstrate the relationship between those 2 chords and how it mirrors the E-A relationship (which is also a I-IV). Think of it this way: The song is in E, and he plays a little riff over the IV chord (A). That riff is A-D.
What pickup(s) are you using for the rhythm?
xpmark1 looks like I was in the second position (bridge/middle) which was a combination of a Duncan SSL5 and SSL1.
Thanks,@@Hoodrio
Correct ... but you know that.
You mention others don't show the right way to play it.....yet...then you say "You can do it this way...or that way"....well.....what is the exact correct way?
