Thanks for posting. I’m an 81 year old who loved the rock sounds back in the day but couldn’t afford a guitar. I also assumed that my fingers were too small. I played a second hand clarinet. I took up guitar in my early twenties. Though I play folk, American Songbook, light classical, I still love the fifties sounds! 13:22 I am American, living in California.
I was 11 years old when BILL HALLEY kicked off rock an roll, the music was fresh and fun . your vid sparked a lot of memories, more of this please it gets the blood flowing thankyou.
Ive really been searching, trying to figure out this tone and style for a while. as a kid, i heard 50s Rock & Roll instrumentals playing at the "Daytona Diner." A popular 50s style diner right on the beach". The guitar tone was so pure and beautiful it stuck with me my entire life and i didnt start teaching myself guitar until recently. I told myself id never watch how-to videos, but swallowed my pride and happy i did and happy i found this video. You clarified a lot of things and i even picked up playing over the neck pickup, using the bridge pickup. Also the fact that my Telecaster will get the job done and that i dont need another guitar to accomplish this tone ive been searching for. youre the closest to it ive heard so far.
Many of the 70s punk bands guitar was based on a punked up rock n roll guitar tone think bands like The Heartbreakers some Damned, The Clash, Dead boys most of The Pistols, The Cramps, many many bands. I often referred to it as punk rock n roll. During the 80s rockabilly became very big at least over here in the UK. Bands like The Meteors, Guana Bats, King Kurt all played rock n roll with a real punk edge usually on the same bill as punk bands. Later you’ve got bands like The Living End particularly early stuff, Chris Cheney is a phenomenal player, Tiger Army.
That was really helpful! Especialy the effects! Thank you! Ive actually been studying a lot more this year I'm 27 and mainly consider myself as a singer. But I really want to buckle down and dial in my guitar skills this year. And i love this sound so once again thank you!
i suppose because a lot of these are just themes it 's all about practice and trying out new bits , john can play them quite quickly , im dragging behind !
Aye,aye John,good stuff mate. As they say,"Just give me some of that Rock `n` Rollin music", The oldie showed us the way....long live Chuck Berry !! Keep them coming john,makes us oldies want to pick up and play,cheers.
Great lesson John, keep up good work. Maybe you could do a lesson on getting different tones out of guitar without using pedals. Frustrating to see how many Fx some amateur players think they need.
"I'm going to go and have a beer" A line taken from the days we could all enjoy ourselves before lock down. Seems such a long time ago now. And I'm gagging for one.
Hey John would you know what player (or solo) inspired this solo from Jimmy Page , sounds like early Rock and Roll to me …Starts at 8:12 ruclips.net/video/NrUHvPgxlcw/видео.html thanks
This is more rockabilly, a specific form of earth rock n roll, but I want to know where people like Johnny Thunders get that unique 50s sound. That’s more “rock n roll” to me
I beg to differ. The low wattage amps that were common in those days would begin to break up pretty easily. Take a listen to Scotty Moore's sound on Hound Dog & it's a long way from being totally clean, same with Buddy Holly's sound on Oh Boy. Listen closely to even Hank Marvin's sound & you'll hear that AC30 starting to fur up around the edges more than a little.

Matthew Edward Hall teles definitely have the closest 50s sound
I’ve come to guitar a bit late in life. This is very helpful to me. Thanks for making this video.
I really want to play like this, that’s it
Do it!
im planning on using these for punk and with high gain. i want that 50s vibe but in a way its mixed with 80s & 90s punk and metal.

Thanks for keeping the music alive!
Por fin encontré lo buscaba ..este sonido que no pasará de moda nunca..gracias por tus vídeos.los pondré en práctica...
Yeah!!!! ALL the rock n roll licks! Thanks for sharing your pearls of wisdom John.

I'll be happy when I stop walking on my knuckles and start understanding all of this a little more.
Cant wait to learn this it's an amazing time for rock and roll
Great turn around at the solo's end. Lot's to chew on...best in bite size pieces. Thanks John.
As a rock and roll player, I like the amp sound to be just at the point of break up with a delay pedal too much overdrive defeat the object.
You should work in a radio!beautiful voice
You made my day! This is going to be a fun weekend learning all this stuff! Thank you Mr. J R!
That solo was great fun. Nice work sir
Brilliant man ! One of your best lessons we are all starving for this stuff.
Wow, I never thought I'd hear "Cradle of Filth" in a guitar video explaining how to play 50's Rock ;)
Hahaha! Yeah, was awesome. Goes to show you he is well versed in music in general.
That was great John, thanks very much! Scotty Moore meets Chuck Berry!
i suppose because a lot of these are just themes it 's all about practice and trying out new bits , john can play them quite quickly , im dragging behind !
Now I really want to play Lonesome Train and Baby Blue Eyes ! Great video thanks 👌
This is great, all of those cool licks, chords, etc right here!
Excellent!!
Thanks John, have a cold one on me!!
Love your videos John, and I love the sound of your voice.
There speaks a man who's never heard me sing 😀
Aye,aye John,good stuff mate.
As they say,"Just give me some of that Rock `n` Rollin music",
The oldie showed us the way....long live Chuck Berry !!

Mate this is great
thanks very much, this was a great place to start for this style & sound, Subbed.
Great lesson John, keep up good work. Maybe you could do a lesson on getting different tones out of guitar without using pedals. Frustrating to see how many Fx some amateur players think they need.
Great video, thanks. Liked, subbed and rung the bell!

Cakewalk! Yay! Good Man!
Been using it (in one form or another) since 2002. Briefly defected to Reaper but soon returned to the fold 😀
@@JRobsonGuitar It's a lot easier to work with something you know...Plus it's now FREE!!
1:30 into the video: yeah, go on playing, I prefer that to a lesson :)
Love it, 😸
Sounds very Scotty Moorish!

Sounds more like neorockabilly Stray Cats-like picking... No such overdriven sounds those days.

Ibanez or ESP guitar, Metal Zone pedal and Line 6 modeling amp. Best rock and roll tone, ..... said no one ever.
Yay rockabilly - what made the Beatles famous back when John only knew 3 chords.
SteampunkBelladonna he knew a few more then 3, more like ... all of them
They say they didn’t know that many but you listen to those first albums they knew some chords
That first thing you played sounded like stray cats
Cheers mate 👍
It's just 1 year old and the cakewalk delay and reverb you are ising looks like way too old from the time of sonar?
I was using an older version 9f Music Creator.
I’ll stick to smoke on the water 😰
