Buddy had the greatest little melodies what a guy!
Great job. Buddy Holly & The Crickets, the first and best r'n'r band ever (2 electrics, bass and drums).
Thank you!

Quick question do you use a wound third on your guitars as well
oo😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you very much for the straightforward lesson for this Holly classic. I really appreciate your 'to the point' style with no affectations whatsoever. I've been listening to and playing Holly songs since he was alive. He is the Alpha of rock and roll.
This is a fantastic lesson Mr Randy.
Man I just love this style of music! My mom was one of those flower power childs ...lol whatever it's called. Anyways born in 71 but growing up my mom would play all these tunes and more like 50's to late 60's and a wide variety, somehow I connected with Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, BB King, early Elvis and the list could go on and on, it just soothes my soul and puts me in my happy place.. so thank you for posting these. Great playing!
Thank you very much for sharing this! I'm glad you enjoy my lesson
What a great lesson. The song makes much more sense after watching you. Thanks,
Thanks man your style of teaching is great
I agree. His style is simple and to the point. A great teacher.
Wonderful. Well before my time but really getting into this.
I've been looking for this lesson and it's perfect. Dankeschön Randy.
The best I have ever heard outside of Buddy himself. Buddy had something magical though that made strings vibrate beyond human capacity.
Thanks for another great lesson! You're definitely the best Rockabilly teacher on RUclips, and I m touched that you thought doing this lesson on Buddy's birthday - I ve been a fan for more than half my life now, and it wouldn't have been the same without his music.
Great lesson Randy for an amazing masterpiece. Thank you somuch, greetings from Athens
I can't play yet and I'm knocking on a bit, but I always wanted to play this and also the high rhythm from Listen To Me. 60 year anniversary soon and he's still going strong!
The 3 chords he used are just about the easiest open chords to learn but they give you multiple songs to play. You should be able to play this in less than a week.
@@2011littlejohn1 I was progressing so slowly, looking at my fingers etc, got distracted and put the guitar aside. When I came back recently I was pleased and surprised that not only it hadn't all disappeared but that I have progressed much faster since, even though I am even older! My fingers are starting to do it by themselves, kind of. A bit more than a week, though.
@@featherbrain7147 Best of luck. I've been missing this guy since 3/2/59 I was 17 he was 22. He was so important god knows what he would have achieved. My band in the Czech Republic play this every gig. If you wanna play it you'll need E, C#m, A, B7 and F#m ruclips.net/video/xTlcDRB2gbA/видео.html
@@2011littlejohn1 I was 15 when he died. He seemed so different and his guitar had an extra something. Luckily, I only play to please myself!
@@featherbrain7147 He was the first guy I saw with a Stratocaster. I wrote a story about him missing the plane, losing his memory and then regaining it 20 years later. He goes in a shop to prove who he is plays a well known intro and sings ''That be the day - the day that I die.'' Wishfull thinking. Coincidentally Terry Pratchett wrote a novel around the same theme. Soul Music.
I’m learning bass, love buddy holly though so ended up here by accident. I loved this video, watched it so many times now, you explain the chord progression so well, thank you..!!!
Straight forward . The best lesson on RUclips. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much for your comment!!
I have always loved this Buddy Holly song,, Thank you Randy... You're lessons never disappoint..
Mr. Richter, I am very thankful to have found you here in RUclips. I think, with your ways of teaching, I may be able to learn a few songs. Thank you for posting in RUclips.
Not only a great teacher but he nails the tone and feel of the 50's with that tele and amp
Great lesson...as usual anyway. Randy is by far one of the best teachers on the Internet...
You sir are the personification of perfect! You have so much talent👌👌
Thank you very much, I try my best!
I transcribed it my electric uke. Thanks for this!
Great cover and tutorial - a very tuneful and pleasant Buddy Holly song. Thanks for uploading; liked it and subscribed.
That tone is so good.
Thank you so much for making this video, I was able to learn this song because of this. If you're having trouble playing and singing this at the same time, there is an alternate way to play the verses that's easier
Deceptively simple, but the feel is everything. Your boys the Beatles aced it! Thanks!
Thanks very much, Randy.
Great stuff.
Excellent...you made it simple and easy. Thanks!
You make so much enjoyment for people like myself who can’t afford lessons , I don’t know how much you realise your appreciated , Thank You so MUCH 🇦🇺🍺
two thumbs up. one of the best demonstrations I've seen.
Thank you Ron, I appreciate it
I been playing wrong for a long time. It was simpler. I always played the intro sliding my finger, but with the chords is easier and it sounds more like buddy holly record. Thanks, and very nice 50's guitar sound. Grates from Argentina
Thank you Ramone. Yes, Buddy has a unique style
Great channel, I look forward to working on this! Thank you for what you do!
Hey Randy. I love this song and this is a fine guitar lesson,- thank you!
Randy, you are one cool cat! Thanks for the fabulously executed lesson. You nailed, the tone, feel, and made it easy to learn.
thank you ,that was a great lesson, well paced and delivered,
Thank you for the perfect video of a perfect song. Thanks for your channel.
Hi Randy! Thanks for this great lesson, and thanks, that you're teaching not only solos but some rhythm parts too.
Thanks very much for your video! I first heard the Beatles sing this on Beatles For Sale and its been one of my favourite songs since!
Remember the great Niki Sullivan. He was a big part of this. 🙏
THANK YOU. YOU'RE GREAT. LOVE THIS SONG. Very easy to follow your instructions.
Learned it in an instant. Thanks!
i'm going learn this one
Very very fine lesson magnificet thanks very mouch .
Nicely done Randy..
Excellent!
Cool you did a lesson for rock n roll in the 50’s cool :)
Thanks for the tutorial! Great song and very well explained. Thanks!
Thanks to you I just learned my first guitar song!
Wow, that's about the greatest feedback that I can imagine. Congratulations! I'm really glad my lesson was helpful to you!
Love this,, im a life long buddy holly fan, i even take every 3rd of February off work to commemorate him by attempting to drink the local bars dry 😂, nice one 👍
Cool, we love Buddy too. I'll post some next week
Many thanks Randy! To the point
Wow thank you so much for this, so much well put information in a nice 5 minute video, absolutely brilliant
Thanks Randy - I've been playing that wrong for too many years = got it now - thanks to your very simple tutorial.
Thank you so much for this lesson.
Love this lesson , thanks for sharing your skills !!!
thanks for your time
Gracias amigo me encantan tus lecciones, saludos from Spain.
Great lesson!
Great lesson .I got it .solo very similar to Presley baby let's play house.Cheers.
Wow, thanks. Slow enough for a novice like me to follow and understand!
Such an over-looked song from Buddy Holly but has to be one of his best. Great lesson and a lovely sound from that gorgeous Tele (I am biased because I've got one in the same colour!!)
I've never been so happy to hear only three chords
Great lesson, which Fender telecaster are you playing ?
It's a Fender Telecaster Baja. I don't remember the exact model
It sounds great, i’m just beginning to learn guitar , been a buddy holly fan for nearly forty years , your lesson really clear , going to give it a go this week , thank you
Very nice, thank you
Happy birthday Buddy! :)
Thank you Sir!
Very. Very cool Randy . I promise it will be my first song while learning how to play the guitar. I have one that needs to be struck. Carefully.
Cheers and so many thanks .
It's a great song to get started if you can find some time and determination. I've always loved that song
Excelente clase!!!
Super lesson
well done that man...,nice
fantastic
Fantastic lesson!
Beautiful Tele.
That was fabulous!
Great tutorial!
That was a very good tutorial. Thank you very much!
Wow Randy you kinda look like Pete Seager. 👍👍👍 your a great guitarist!✌
Excellent 👍👏👏
Thanks Love that' song
So this is an amazing lesson for an amazing song. One thing I’m curious about is the strumming while he sings? When it goes to D it’s like a “duh duh” which I had originally thought was a slide up from d-flat to d. But that doesn’t sound right. Can anyone advise?
thank you thats great
Hi Randy! The tone is so good, is it just reverb or other effects?
It's just an echo, nothing else
Brilliant , thanks for sharing this :)
Thank u Randy for making it so easy for me to understand Mark Ramlucken Phoenix Durban South Africa.
Great!!
The Beatles improved this intro with their downward sweep thing in the first 5 seconds as much as I love Holly
I have to disagree here :-D In my opinion it's an okay cover, but not nearly as strong as Buddy's version. However, you can't argue taste. Thank you for your comment!
@@ducktailcat ya always prefer what you heard first-i thought the advantage the Beatles had was they brought out a harmonic vocal beauty that was hidden in the song all along
Very nice 👍🏼
Nice tone. What pedal do you recommend for the slapback? Also, I couldn't tell which position you were in. Sounds too mellow for bridge of a telecaster.
Hi Jason, I used one of the medium positions on my four way switch. You could try these echos here:

Would you play it tremolo style please
Can u plz plz plz do a lesson on Learning the Game
I will do a whole Buddy Holly course early next year. I'll include Learning The Game for you. Thanks for the suggestion. I love that song too.
@@ducktailcat Thanks a lot!
Randy, why does no-one seem to tackle Listen to Me, especially the fantastic middle part? There is one great video by Tom Clark but it is not a tutorial. Others are on an acoustic and I don't think are fully authentic.
I can't speak for others of course. I always loved the song. There are just so many fantastic songs from Buddy and other artists of the 1950s, you will never be able to teach them all. However, I will take your suggestion and do it next on my channel, as there is not much out there on the song.
@@ducktailcat Marvellous, thank you!
Could you tell me where you have purchased the shirt you’re wearing from?
Not really, I've got it for more than 20 years and I don't remember where I bought it. Probably from a dealer at one of the big festivals. I'm glad you like it though.
Randy Richter No worries, thank you for responding😊 these shirts are hard to find for the price and made right.
if you managed to get one now, people would think you are a time traveler
I'm new to guitar and do you mind telling me your amp settings? Thanks
Andy Aleman I usually have the treble on 6 and the bass on 2
Randy Richter thanks but what about the rest?
That's all I have, apart from the volume which depends on the room or venue. I have a built in tape echo in my amp which is custom made, so no other amp will have those knobs really.
Randy Richter thanks, liked and subscribed :)
Love it!
You're good 👍 😅
Are you using a tremolo?
Johan Pedersen No, it sounds a bit like this because of the tape echo, that I have in the back of my amp. The loop is pretty short and was used quite a lot in the last weeks, so you get that wobble sound.
Ahh. Is it McGivern in England who built your amp?
Johan Pedersen No, I did it myself
Randy Richter Nice work.
Seems to be mistake at 3.25? Should be slide up from d to d on 5th fret and similarly wuth e
No, that's what I did for years and then I listened to the song again and heard that he uses indeed the open e-string
brilliant bud 👍
surely thats not a standard A chord.... is it diminished?
Which one do you mean? At what time in the video? There is no diminished chord played.
The first A chord... is it just a standard open A?
Yes, it's a standard A chord, I just have my fingers in a different order so ir's easier to squeeze the fingers in the second fret. It's also easier to change to D. BTW this is also how Buddy played the A.
@@ducktailcat ahhh cheers mate. Thanks for getting back so soon. I grew up listening to Buddy Holly and this was one of my favourites. Thanks mate. great channel
Gutes Tutorial
Great lesson 👍👏 bro u look like a Texas guitar slinger!!!
From the side you look like a rock n roll Mr. Rogers.
gut gemacht, alten.
👍👍👍
