Are we playing Johnny B Goode WRONG?!

- It's far better to learn how to understand a guitar solo rather than just learn where to put our fingers. I don't often bother getting every single note exactly the same as the original song, it's more important to understand how the solo was constructed. That being said, this one particular note in Chuck Berry's Johnny B Goode that many of us play wrong, does rather bug me.
On Patreon this week we will have a complete Master Class lesson on this subject. Learn how to analyze a guitar solo that you're truly understanding the song, and gain a deeper understanding of the guitar as an instrument, the fretboard, harmony, and more.

What a great lesson!!! thanks for sharing!!!
@GuitarLessonsVancouver Nice catch and great explanation! Thanks.
Great lesson. I was fortunate to learn this from that same tab book I purchased about 20 years ago. Interestingly, Chuck slid up from the blue note as G strings were too thick to bend easily in 1957, and this classic song was originally recorded in A and the tape sped up to increase the tempo.
I didn't know it was sped up that's interesting. I always thought he just played it in Bb 😀
@@GuitarLessonsVancouver On that subject, it was originally played on a Gibson ES175 with Humbuckers (as patented in 1957). Back to the Future version was played on a red ES345 which wasn't made until later, but who cares, it was a great movie.
@@davidf9278 It was a great movie indeed. Wish I had one of either of those guitars :)
Did Chuck play that 'wrong' note bcause guitars back then had strings like steel hawsers so he made the bend a bit easier?
There ya go........that makes sense.
We all have to unlearn what we have learned...
We all thought we could play the "Chuck Berry Lick"...
....Wrong answer...
Thanks a million times...!
Funny you being it up, Blue. As it happens, I've always, always heard it as a 1/2 step bend (to an F?).
But, i guess i learned it long before i knew anything about pentatonic shapes, lol.
Either way, I'm glad you played the whole intro, cuz i don't have that recording, and now i can learn the whole thing.
🤪 👍 👌
Listen to Them's Gloria and Patti Smith's for 1 example (gimme Patti!)
This was very interesting plus the Blues note being used by Chuck Berry is just so proper!
Yeah, good stuff in this lesson, thanks.
Thanks QBRX!
1:58 'give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day,
teach a man to fish, and he'll feed himself for a lifetime'
Ahhh that's the saying. Knew it was something like that.
That's some very interesting music, Marty !
Nice one!
@@GuitarLessonsVancouverHey Blue, you play the Chuck Berry style great. I'm going to check your library to see if you made vids teaching the Chuck type of stuff.
Good lesson.. what kind of guitar is that?
what pedal do you use for these Lessons ?
plz do a vid on first few pedals for a beginner to get. thanks
But we will work on the duck walk, do we? :-))
MOST likely, that's what got Chuck more famous than whether or not he bent that note a half step instead of a full step. The old " Image is everything" saying has applied to music celebrities for a long time.
I thought Chuck slid into that note, al a T-Bone Walker, and didn't bend at all?
💥
first to say Good day, Blu
Those bends are the start of an overdub. Chuck switches to rhythm on the basic track at that moment. Once you hear it, you can’t I hear it.
unhear
Yeah I've wondered about that. The guitar tone is slightly different
Once you hear a "wrong" note in these old rock tunes, it suddenly becomes..........."jazz".
Haha sometimes ya 🤣
Well,ok. But the wrong d# gets bent a whole step. So, it ends on f also. Not a huge difference
I think the point Blue is making is that the E played here - the blue note - is a musically significant choice because it has a special role in defining the sound of the blues. If your name was Blue you might agree 😉
Well said thank you 😀
I'm completely non theory, and always played it how Chuck did. Simply by hearing, no scales to steer me wrong.
I think that was Chuck's approach too.
