- Here is a fun lesson outlining some of the really cool guitar work done by Danny Cedrone on Bill HaLey's "Rock Around The Clock".Note that this song was recorded in 1954 and still sounds fabulous. ENJOY!!
Excellent you broke it down and made it so easy to understand!
Thank you so much!
This is the best tutorial of this track I've seen so far. A good lesson and well explained.
Thank you so much!
Greetings from New Zealand, for years I have wanted to know how to play this song. While it has a fairly common chord progressions, you have shown me the subtleties and nuances that nobody else seems to have. This has to be one of the greatest solos ever. Thanks
Thanks. I do agree about the solo, it's fabulous!
very good , your the bomb on this song, elements come together bueatifully, great lesson!!
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. :-)
HEY CAROLE PELLATT....You made this song soo easy to understand. ALMOST got it on my guitar..Thank you so much Carole!!
Wow, that's one of the coolest things anyone ever said about this lesson.Glad you enjoyed.Cheers!
Hey Carole I had the same perception mentioned befre when I found this great tutorial. Tks!
Great tone!
What a fantastic lesson. Your a terrific musician and such a all round great teacher. Thank you for sharing your many skills with others. It really made my day when I found one of my all time favorite songs and your lesson on how to play it. Your horn section idea's used in this tune are just amazing. Thank you so much and have a great day.
Thanks for your kind words John.I'm so glad you enjoyed the lesson.This is one of my favorite guitar tunes.
l am thrilled by this excellent lesson by you.
I really like your analysis and breakdown of the way to play this iconic song. Thank you for posting this helpful lesson.
You're so welcome. I'm glad you found it to be helpful.
Magnificent , very very good, thanks.
Thank you so much!
This is the best lesson video and explanation I have seen, period! Great job! I can’t wait to see your other lessons! You broke it down so well, I feel ready to go at it myself now!!
How cool is that! Thank you. I will be adding more lessons, I hope you enjoy what I have up already.Thank you.
Awesome lesson! Thanks a million!
You're very welcome!
Hi Carole, this is one of the hardest rock and roll songs to copy. This is the first video of you that I have watched and I must say Danny Cedrone would be impressed. Amazing lesson
Thank you so much for your comment. I really appreciate that!
Great stuff Carole, I've seen a few of these tutorials, some play the open G for that little lick before the run from high E to low E, but I think the A note on 7th fret sounds best, love those little comping chords and glisses.
Thanks! This is such a fun tune.I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson.I concur with you regarding the open G, I think I like it this way as well.Seems I fell into that choice a long time ago.
Very well explained, nice break down of each part , very cool , you rock Carroll! !
Thank you!! I'm glad you enjoyed.
The sound from your amp/guitar is amazing!😊
Thank you! Just my guitar, my amp, and fingers!
Excelente tutorial Carole. Muchas gracias.
You're so welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you, Carole! You play beautifully and you teach equally well. Who doesn't get 'revved up' whenever this song comes on, somewhere! And now I know how it's played, thanks to you! I just found you, looking for a how-to on this great song. And, I believe it was the first ever charted song on the Rock 'N Roll chart, but don't quote me on that. It must've caused a big stir in 1959!
Thanks again, Carole, and now I'll check out your other videos! Hoping to find a how-to for "Long Tall Woman" by the Hollies. 😊🙋🏻
Thank you so much Sarah Michelle for taking the time to check this video out and to comment. I love this song. I will be releasing more videos of songs I love. :-)
Thanks so much you did and explain so well...Merci from France Carole
Ma plaisir Olivier,I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson!!
You are awesome, thank you for sharing
You're so welcome. Glad you enjoyed!
Great job Carole.
Thanks Carole, I can be quite lazy and it's great to watch a really concise accurate tutorial, I shall look out for more tutorials as well, keep up the excellent work, much appreciated.
Thank you so much Terry! I'm so glad you got something good as a takeaway from the video. Within the next month, I plan to start posting new videos, both transcriptions of songs and good general information. I appreciate you taking the time to comment! Cheers, Carole
@@CarolePellattGuitar My pleasure, i have just joined a rock and roll band and realised many of the things I am doing in songs are not quite right, it's laziness on my part, but your tutorial is really excellent, easy to follow, concise, brilliant, really appreciate you taking the time to post the video, many thanks.
@@terryfinchguitarist Rock on Terry!Have fun!
If you ever need it, I give remote lessons......but mostly, have fun.
@@CarolePellattGuitar I love playing the guitar, another thing I picked up from another one of your videos is the fact that I "anchor" when picking, (not finger picking), I have watched some other guys and they also say this is something to avoid if you feel there is something not quite right, I always feel a kind of glitch when I switch from D to G strings, so i am going to start practising this now, i used to be a practise freak, then slacked off when i started playing for a living, now I am getting back into it again..
Anyway, your videos have inspired me to start improving again, thank you, much gratitude.
I tried the guitar solo on vibraphone, came here to check if I was even close, very much enjoyed your video, appreciate the instruction! This song stands the test of time, had my family dancing in the kitchen. Feel free to come visit and hear the solo on vibes :) Now I know what the notes should be, thanks to you!
B la B
So glad you enjoyed the lesson! Vibes, so cool. And getting your family dancing is the best.Cheers! Carole
Thank you for posting this quality lesson on Bill Hayley 1950's hit record. Your a great player and excellent teacher Carole, more 50's / 60s please - James 🎸🎶
Thank you so much! I hope to post new lessons this summer.
Hey Carole; thanks so much for posting this. I looked at a few videos of this song - yours is the best! I've got it all down, but can't do the chromatic run downs to speed yet. Merci beaucoup de ton ami de Montreal.
Allo Ray! Ma plaisir! I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson!
Thanks Carole, I've played this so badly for 50 years and the new band I am joining wants it realistic. After checking out a half dozen tutorials on youtube I came across yours and slowly I'm actually playing those 16ths and 32nds and I'm loving it.
Wow, that's so cool of you to tell me that Roderick. I'm glad you're enjoying it!
@@CarolePellattGuitar I'm a 76 year old rock n roller and my hands have some arthritis in them but I'm still working on your lesson. I will play the correct solo for Rock Around the Clock, thanks again.
@@marvin-burns That's great. :-)
Magistral! Muy didáctico!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Absolutely Well Done Carole,, Wonderful..
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed! :-)
Very cool Carole.....good lesson
Thanks Joe!
Whoop! Whoop! Fantastic 👍🆙🤗😘🙏
Thank you!! :-)
Great lesson, thank you!
Thank you. I;m so glad you enjoyed it.
This is my favorite rock and roll classic. Used in the movie Blackboard Jungle and at the beginning of Happy Days t.v. show. The guitar solo is classic and will live for a long time. I have been learning guitar for the last year and I am going to learn to play this. I like this video.
I agree completely about the solo. The song is great and the recording stands the test of time. Thanks!
Top notch 😎🎙🎸✅
Big Thanks for this! 👍👍👍
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
So very well done and love that cool guitar! I l have learned a ton about blues from Keith Wyatt. He’s been a fav of mine for many years. Your teaching style is much like his, relaxed and to the point. Thank you so much. I had forgotten about this timeless classic and will now enjoy playing it. Bless you. ❤️✌️🎸
Hi Scott, thank you so much for your kind words. Keith has been a mentor and friend for many decades. I am honored that you feel that some of his excellent teaching has rubbed off on me. Keith always did make it straight forward, and when formulating this lesson, I wanted to make it as accessible as possible. I'm glad you're enjoying the song. Cheers! That guitar was built for me by John Wescott in Toluca Lake Ca 33 years ago. I love it.
Carole Pellatt ❤️✌️🎸
Great lesson, thanks a lot.
Nice breakdown of the logic behind Danny Cedrone's great solo
Thank you so much. It was my teacher Keith Wyatt who originally broke it down for me, and it always made sense.Thanks again.
...super, Carole!
thank you for teaching and sharing
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :-)
My pleasure!
wonderful,,,,, thank you for such clarity and spirit,,,,,NO. 1
Thank you!
Wow!! I've been hammering at this thing for many years and you have finally allowed me to crack the code! Now I just need to pick up speed. Incidentally -- I met Franny Beecher, Danny Cedrone's replacement, a number of times - watched him play this solo - and even he glossed over parts of it. Stunning player nevertheless -- but YOU have at long last made this understandable and possible for mediocre players like me. THANK YOU!!!
Wow, I'm flabergasted by your comments. Thank you so much!
@@CarolePellattGuitar You're welcome! All your stuff is great - and I especially like the Roy Buchanan performance. He was one of the first real masters I ever saw - in a very sparsely attended concert many years ago - and you nailed his sound. Except -- can you play with just one hand like he did? Kidding! I'm sure that was just showmanship. In any case - please keep posting the tutorials! They help more than you know. Peace.
Thanks again! I do love Roy Buchanan. And yes, I can play with one hand! It's something you had to pick up in that era. Thanks again for spending time here. I hope to post new videos this summer.
@@CarolePellattGuitar One hand lessons!! :-)
Oh by the way --- you won't believe the "solo" at :43 of this all-time ...uh.."classic". Sounds intentionally insulting. ruclips.net/video/qFD0FynzaPo/видео.html
I don’t know how to play the guitar, but I love this explanation, and the cover!
Thank you so much.What a lovely comment!
you are sooooooo, good i havnt had a great time learning like this . you make the chords mesh beautifully. most inportantly it sounds great. Peter!!
Thank you, I hope to make some more this summer. I am so glad you have enjoyed this! :-)
I like that you teach, when the guitar sounds like a horn section or saxes.
Thank you. I learned that from my teacher Keith Wyatt at Musicians Institute. He's quite a player.
I have about 4 albums of Bill Haley and the Comets. I started to listen to "oldies" in the early 70's as I got fed up with the rock scene in the early 70's. I am learning jazz guitar now.
@@PIANOPHUNGUY Excellent! Go for it!
helo my name its pedro and iam lurning to play guitar and that was nice THANKYOU for the video i will try tomorrow thankyou
Thank you!
pedro amaro 9 months have passed. Did you learn this awesome solo? It sure is a great one.
Carole.......FANTASTIC. I just started this with my guitar instructor and you have shown me a lot with these licks. I figured some of it out but my fingering is not that "swift" on the fret-board ATM as I'm 70 yrs young ;-))
Hey, keep it up, awesome that you're working on it. Thanks for the kind words! truly,Carole :-)
One of the great rock riffs of all time and also one of the first. The guy who played it, Danny Cedrone, fell down some stairs and killed himself ten days after the recording.
All news to me 60+ years late. Cedrone's life and death has to be rock's best kept secret.
Will W yea what a real bummer about Danny.
Cedrone was paid only $21 for his work on the session, as at that time Haley chose not to hire a full-time guitarist for his group. Cedrone would also play on the June 7, 1954 recording session for Haley's version of "Shake, Rattle and Roll" although he was not allotted the chance for another notable guitar solo.
Now that's sad, isn't it.He left behind a classic must learn guitar piece.
Fantastic!
Thank you!!
Thanks, I am playing this tonight
I hope it all worked out!
There is so much more to these lessons than I first realized. Thank you so much Carol, you opened up gates to whole new world for me.
Wow! I'm so happy about that. Thank you for letting me know. :-)
Very nice video. I will practice. What amp are you using ? The sound is very important to get that sax vibe.
Thanks so much Carol love this song
Thank you, me too!
Carole that is awesome. 5:47 is a hell of an exercise.
Thank you! I'm really glad you have enjoyed this. Please share!
Thank you. GLad you enjoyed it!
Excellent lesson! I will contribute to your site if that is still possible to do, and I'll check out your other videos, particularly the technique video. The Rock Around The Clock solo calls for truly expert technique that I hope to start learning from your video. If you don't mind me asking, I wonder how long you were playing guitar before you were able to perfect that solo as expertly as you have. As an intermediate player, it seems like it would take me many weeks at the very least to approach that level of speed and clarity.
Hi Gabe, thanks for your lesson comments. The things you mention are technical issues.They are built over time. If you would like to set up an online lesson, I'd be to show you the approaches you would need to practice.
@@CarolePellattGuitarThank you for reply! Lesson might be something to consider in the future. I'm currently pretty busy with piano lessons plus working on guitar on my own. Your videos will be very helpful. BTW, I did subscribe and I created a free account, but was not able to find the DONATE button you speak of at the bottom right of your home page. Let me know when you have a minute where that might be. Thanks again.
Wonderful
Haley had 30 minutes to record the tune. Danny Cedrone, who was his go to guitarist for recording, ask him what kind of solo he should do. Haley told him to just play the same solo he had done on "Rock the Joint". So Danny did and his solo became a classic. Unfortunately he was murdered three week later and never realized how famous his solo would be.
Gostei..amo essa música.. precisava aprender a canta-la ..parece um trava línguas
Obrigada!!
Awesome!!!
Thank you!!!!
Hi Carole. great lesson but why is the phrase at 5:54 different to the one at 5:34 which on e is correct?
Hi John, you've got great ears to notice. I have been playing that solo for so long, I'm sure I've deviated from the original at my gigs, so it may have come out on the video that way. I recommend listening to the original and then you can determine which one is closest. Ultimately that is way everyone should be learning, by going back to the original. Thanks for your great ears noticing that. Let me know what you come up with when you listen to the original. Thank you.
thanks so much for the explanation! Just a curiosity: how have you set your strat/amp so that it sounds like an old jazz gear? The only visible thing is the selector stuck on the neck pos.
Yes, you got it. I have the strat on the neck pickup and my amp eq'd warm. Those are EMG classic strat pickups, so the active are a little warmer, but I believe any strat on the neck position with a warm amp will do the same. Thanks for your comment, and for watching the video!
Awesome!!! Thanks Carole!
My pleasure Jim, glad you enjoyed it!
Nice lesson! Thanks :-)
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Very nice
Cool, well done!
THank you!
The most better music class
Thank you so much.So glad you enjoyed it!
I need slow motion to see what strings you played!!
You can slow motion on youtube by clicking on the playing tools.....
I owe you a profound thanks, pretty.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson. :-)
i love really good female rock n roll guitar players (no offense intended) you are very good!
Thanks Brian! Appreciate you watching the video and thank you for your kind words.
excelente explicação
Thank you!
Nice playing, nice tuto, nicely done, Carole.
When we slow down the original solo, we can realize some inaudible licks .
So I confess at the end of the chromatic footage, 9th and 10th bars, I play it easier than you , I fall on open 6E string and 4th and 7th frets to end like you , on 11th and 12th bars.
But never mind! 🙂
Hi Bruno, yes, I guess we all pick that muddy part up in our own way. Thank you for the compliments, and I like the way you say you end it as well.Cheers!
Nice job
Thank you!
have anymore doo wop ? I spent 36 years in a doo wop group lead vocalist and guitarist.
What are the opening rhythm chords, Carole?
Hi Scott, if you watch the video you will the intro chords. Barred A, E7, and an explanation. Enjoy!
Fabulous
Thank you!!!
A new member of the Comets? Danny Cedrone..
Do you still make videos?😮
Hi Curt, I haven't in a while, but plan to start to posting again soon.
I need slow motion to check if its time to change hands.
Thank you fab
You're welcome!
Valeuuuuu tia mandou Bil Harley e seus cometas
Wow!
Thank you!! :-)
thanks carole
You're very welcome. I hope this was helpful. Rock on!
I LOVE YOU!!!!!, lol
Thanks Carmine!
your welcome!!!!!
Ах если бы Скрипа запилила бы нам этот разбор на русском...она бы смогла. А то я по английски не Алё.
Oops, I spelled your name wrong, ...
Great channel, Carole! Have a look at mine if you wish, regards and thanks!
Thank you so much for checking me out!
think of ur guitar as 5 saxophones...hilarious coming from the perspective when saxophones were more popular than guitar. now we are in an era when neither sax or guitar are heard...its all samples and loops, and synthesizers dominate...swings and round abouts...guitars will rule again one day...all comes back around. guitar dominated from mid 50s to 2010ish..brass dominated from 1920s to mid -late 50s..your big bands, jazz and crooners. if you look at te charts in the 50s rock and roll did not totally dominate. Guys like Frank Sinatra were arguably bigger, the Platters, the doowop groups. think about the amount of music genres that popped up from the 1950s, till 1980s...rock n roll funk, soul beatles, british invasion, folk rock, country went electric, blues rock, disco, punk rock, glam rock...say from 1957-1977...20 years...then think of the garbage on the radio between 2005-2024...its the same damn crap...sorry...rant over...love the lesson...doing a deep dive on this song
I get what you're saying, but in my professional musical world, there's still sax players and many guitarists. There's always going to be people out there playing and making a living. And the analogy is really from the perspective of chord voicings. So whether it's a synth emulating a horn section or a guitarist voicing chords, harmonic stabs are the role of the guitar in this song, and it was emulating a horn section- a close copy of "In The Mood". Thank you for your perspective. Cheers, Carole
@@CarolePellattGuitar yeah thats my point exactly...by 1963 song writers weren't thinking of guitars emulating horn sections...theyn weren't thinking about horn sections period. guitar became the king and people were'nt thinking about sax at all much during the british invasion...well the exceptions being Dave Clarke 5 were..and i remember hearing about the fuzz pedal that Keith Richards used on satisfaction...the original marketing said something about it replicating horns..
