i remembered my student's years in 60-s. We used to listen to tape -recorder and dance at the parties. Love Rock'n'roll 50-60s, The Beatles... best songs. Thanks!
Well Jez, I got to give credit when its do. Ive watched hundreds of RUclips tutorials, and i got to say, this was the funnest and you sir have the best voice ive heard out of all of them. Thanks for posting this and sharing your talents.
Wow, with a voice like that, and that amazing guitar playing, It's a wonder you were never discovered, we could have got rid of all those other artists, Chuck, Buddy, Elvis, Carl, Bill, etc, we only needed you.
@@daytripper7984 Thanks for the purchase! It's simply a chord songbook (lyrics with chords), so there are no tabs or downloads. But yes, if you use the songbook alongside my RUclips tutorials you should make lots of progress. - Jez
Jez, I had to comment on your video. It quite literally changed my life. Until recently, my guitar was collecting dust sitting in a closet. After seeing your video (and buying your amazing book-truly amazing!) I found that I really could play the songs I grew up with. My two-year-old grand son visits often, one day I played a few of your songs and now, at two years old, equipped with my Ukuele, he and I sit and rock out! He comes by every day, runs into the closet to get you song book sits next to me and we go wild!!! At two, he can even strum the up down (not-quite-chords) along with me. I thank you for this gift you’ve given me and my grandson.
Wow, that’s wonderful! Thank you for letting me know. It made my day. I’d love to see that. I’m so glad that you’re getting so much pleasure from the songbook. Which songs do you and your grandson like to rock out to the most? Say ‘hello’ to him from Jez in England. Keep up the good work! 😃👍🎶
Thanks for sharing your experience with great songs....well played & sung...I am 79yrs old & remember all of those great songs... cheers from Australia 😀
Jez just one word: GREAT! I am 55 and you woke me up from hibernation, i follow you on youtube and just bought your guitar song book. Welcome in Italy. I am so grateful to you.
Singing lesson from him is what I need. He makes it sound so good and easy because his singing is right on the spot. He could be holding a leave blower and it would still sound awesome.
Fantastic medley. I’ve tried one myself with similar songs from the 50s. The hard part for me was singing the right first note when the songs changed. I was listening closely and you did a terrific job. Well done.
excellent lesson, thanks ... what makes your presentation work is the reverb of your vocals, which is due to how you mic'ed the room. In your intro, I thought, oh, he's got a room echo from the mic being positioned straightup in the centre of the room (or there abouts ...) but when you start to sing, that natural reverb of the room makes the vocals come alive. Very low-tech excellence. Thanks!
How could anyone not enjoy that. Songs that are instantly recognisable even though most of them are over 60yrs old and it would be great to be able to play them. Perfect campfire songs. Having said that this guy is a very experienced time served guitar player. It will take longer than you think to get even close to his level of playing despite the fact its a single boom-chuck rhythm and only 3 chords. But it's something to aim for and that's the attitude I'm taking.
Pretty Good , I've played Guitar at different times , put my mind to working , stayed for about 20 yrs , had an accident and retired at age 62 , now I picked up 2 guitars , 1 electric and other Standard , found out I forgot the chords , I know about 4 to 6 cords , I plan to play again, and plan to pick up your Book , Thank You , Samuel
@@samuelflorez1461 That’s plenty. Add E and B7 to that list and you’ll have the full set of open major chords. You can play millions of songs with those! 🎶 Most rock and roll songs can be played with just three! 😃
I was in junior high when most of these songs were popular, but my older sister always had me dance with her so was surprised that I could sing along with every one of them. Some resurfaced a few years later with the Beatles, Wilson Picket and others. Love it.
Do it Karen, I never picked up a guitar until I was 72 years old, that was going on 11 years ago and I am loving it, I still play a couple hours every day and I play out everytime I get a chance, you can teach an old dog new tricks
Thanks, that’s how I used to play my ukulele with only 4 chords. And played a lot of songs from the 50’s and 60’s. Now, I can play the guitar with 4 Cords, just like when I was 16 years old. I am now in my 60’s. 🙏🏼
Love it. You definitely need a few go-to four chord classics in your repertoire to quickly play for people, especially if you've had a few drinks and can't quite manage the more advanced songs!
Hi John. I've not been away. 😊 I've been steadily uploading new videos over the last 2 or 3 years, including a good few lessons that you may find handy. If you fancy a look, here's a link to a playlist containing all of my tutorials: ruclips.net/p/PL3k8ba924QgZ_-jUIMEvUcfn8iBdZBwuH
@@RocknRollSongbook Thank you so much Jess. I was just happy to see something from you because I haven't in quite a while from my perspective. RUclips algorithms. I look forward to everything.
83 and still learning Jez is great in the groove we all knew meant to buy the book last year provrastinated. Ut going to buy it now supposed to play at an open mike in an old groupsmonday nite in Perry OK
Great singing. I listened to Jerry Lee when I was a kid and you have it down pat and you're keeping the guitar chords in time. Thank you for the inspiration.
Got your book 📖. It’s simple and GREAT 👍🏾. Please do more of these!!! . I saw in the book all sales are donated to Save the children. Thank you so much. I was able to play right away songs from THIS BOOK 🎸🎸🎸🎸

Love it all. Makes me want to take out my guitar and jam with him. I will save this site. Thank you once again. I was a drummer back in the late 70s, 80s. We played 50s and 60s rock and roll. Yep also country and western. You brought me back a lot of memories. 😀
That was probably the best and most straightforward lesson on great songs I have seen on RUclips in a very long time (maybe ever). You did a great job. I just subscribed to your channel and look forward to checking out your other videos. Thanks! : )
C'est magique de pouvoir jouer et chanter comme ça !!! Je vous regarde quasiment tous les jours, un pur moment de bonheur !!! Merci, et surtout, continuez !!!!
Wow, merci beaucoup Alain ! C'est super de savoir que vous appréciez autant mes vidéos. Continuez à regarder et à écouter. Meilleurs voeux d'Angleterre!
Im so glad you've got the rock n roll going as it mend to be played ,the attitude and rebellion vibes ,just three chords or max 4 ... great vocals !! the best thing is because this is a tutorial , many people pick up on this and might even pick up a guitar..
You're the "man of the Rock" ! Always a pleasure to follow you through your covers or your lessons. You have that gift to make everything simple and understandable . By the way, great guitar player and singer as well !
Your AWESOME in playing and Singing too!!.. Thanks for taking the time to make this Video. I'm from the U.S and I'm gonna order your book. Those are Great Classic's, I have not heard in years. Thanks

This was so great to listen to. What a thrill!
Thanks very much Heidi!
Wow never knew you could play so many songs with so few chords. outstanding
Oh yeah! And these aren't simplified versions. It's mostly 3 and 4 chord music like the blues and a lot of country music.
I know some that are only 2 chords.
Time to drag out my guitar, this is the kind of playing I want to learn! Sounded awesome!
Thanks very much!
Excellent ! And a good singer. Use to watch tutorials with excellent guitar players but poor singers .Bravo !!!
Thanks very much!
You knocked it out of the park Jezz, I'm looking forward to more of this.
Great stuff.
Wow, thanks very much Allan! Would you like more rock and roll medleys?
