I have watched a couple of lessons on this song.This is the best one yet.
Way better than Marty's =)
Check out Mr Tabs - even better - has tabs on screen while playing
This is well done. You give a full play thru with vocal right up front. No time wasted. You showed right up front that you know what you are teaching. Then jump right into the lesson without a lot of talking. Great lesson!
This deserves more views. Lots of lessons for this song, but the full performance with close ups really adds something.
This is the BEST tutorial ever for Johnny B Goode
Wow, awesome rock voice, really fits to this song!
I'm trying to learn to play guitar I've played drums for more than 40 years I just want to tell you I don't see any reason to watch any other videos but yours the way you teach is simply amazing and 100% through
Also I've never felt the need to follow anyone on Patreon but you sir can count on my support
as we used to say old school (make that prehistoric school) your playing is the cat's meow, in today's vernacular, you be rockin' it big time.. you made this old man's day!!
wow, where has this guy been all my life.. " lol, this will now be the 3rd song i learning from him, sooooo natural and breaks everything down for us
Good lesson. I have been playing most of the song essentially the same way, but the part I found most helpful is how you play at 1:28 in your video. That's the hardest part of the whole song and I realize I have been playing that part wrong. I will be learning to play it the way you do.
After watching your lesson I went back to the original Chuck Berry recording and found a few "surprises" that I hadn't noticed before:
1. There is rhythm guitar "shuffle" being played during Chuck's lead. I always thought Chuck was switching between lead and rhythm. (A second guitarist? I don't know if they were doing multi-track recording in the 1950s or not.)
2. An inconsistency by Chuck or his band at 0:13 in the original recording when the rhythm shuffle goes from F to D#, rather than going from F directly back to A# as it does in the rest of the song.
3. The rhythm guitar goes to low F at 1:37 and again at 1:57 in the original recording.
I've been watching you for about 2/1/2 yrs you're finger positions are very clear, and unlike other guitarist's, where you lay the fingers is so, very clear 😅 keep it up bro😊!
I have been practicing guitar now for five years roughly. Always been rhythm work with acoustic. But now I'm trying to learn blues lead and this is the song I dreamed of playing when I started. Your lesson is so easy to follow, I'm gonna get this! Thanks for the video. Nicely done and easy to follow
Six years later, here I am. Sounds terrific, and I especially like the backing track which has the drums playing the correct shuffle beat. Almost every version I hear gets this wrong. Shuffle, man, shuffle.
This song is to Rock what Genesis is to the Bible.
I like Phil... but prefer the Gabriel version of the Bible
With the exception that this really happened.
Dude, Chuck would be proud to hear you playing and singing his songs.....
Great job on the guitar lesson. It was very thourgh, as you went slowly took the time to explain the chords used and in the order they are implemented and when the changes are. I am senior beginner at 62 years old and this will help me tremendously. I have been a Chuck Berry music fan since I was a young boy and will always be, as I love his poetically influenced style songs combined with his original innovative style of guitar playing. "Johnny B.Goode" came to be known as his signature song, though he had recorded many songs he left an indelible mark in music history. Though he is gone now, he left behind his music for everyone to enjoy. This very song is on the Voyager 1 satellite sent up into space in 1977 on a gold plated disc, the only rock and roll song chosen for the disc " The Sounds of Earth", and is now billions of miles away in interstellar space. In Rick Nelson's 1972 hit "Garden Party" he pays homage to Chuck Berry in the song with the lyrics: "someone opened up the closet door and out stepped Johnny B. Goode", as he was also known. Thank you so much for posting this video.
I study a lot of guitar lessons on u tube and you are tuning out to be the one I go to the most. I like how you do the hole song and how you break it down and how you make it easy to understand and on top of all that, you are just flat out GOOD. I sometimes get in a slump and don't play for long periods at a time, but tuning on one of your videos is the answer for that problem. You inspire the hell out of me, the good hell that is. I've learned a lot from you so far. Your a great teacher, singer and guitar player hope you stay around a long time. Thank You
Just great - best version on RUclips by a country mile.
Love the singing too.
SYMPATICO...good voice...good guitar...good lesson, thank you !
de todos los que he oído hacer esa introducción en los muchos tutoriales que hay en RUclips ud es el que más parecido la hace .....casi logra la figura exacta de como la toca Michael J. Fox......lo felicito....y la voz también está muy bien.....de los que he oído ud es el mejor
Great voice and guitar..... Looking to ad this to my gig list. I have a Beatbuddy for the drums and an Aeros looper. Should work perfectly.
life is so good when listening to you singing. Life is full of colors and will never reach an end.
Wow! Normally, I see musicians have ok vocal. But you can sing it very well
Hey thanks, I love singing these old rock n' roll tunes, so glad you enjoyed it. Please share when you have a chance! Enjoy your practice. -Rob
What a fab video this is, for us out here who want to learn the guitar riff of all time. Superbly shown and explained. Brilliant !!!!
So glad you’re enjoying my teaching style. This was a tough lesson to produce, but definitely one of the most rewarding. Thanks for the positive feedback! -Rob
swiftlessons Hi Rob, Yes, it certainly is a tough one but a great job done by you. I am still working on it and enjoying the lesson, Regards Dave.

Chuck never played that song twice the exact same way - master of rock.

Increible !!! Gracias por compartir tu talento !!!
So many details- thank you so much for your nice job.
Again perfect lesson, i like good and detail position of camera to be seen where to put fingers right,and also good timing from slow to Faster to be all good understood 👍thank you, Hope i get Closer to Johnny to be good with that
Muy bueno maestro , me encanta la música de Chuck Berry ,fue un genio.de La Plata Bs.As.Argentina
Thanks for this lesson. My favorite one so far by you. Wanting to learn this the correct way for years. Thanks again,
Hey Stephen, thanks so much, glad you're enjoying this one. I've always jammed on this casually, but never really got down to brass tacks and learn it note by note. So glad I took the time! Thanks for taking the time to comment again. Have a great week of practice. -Rob
This is my favorite song of all time. Its a shame I never learned it. Now I see its easy. Subbed and Thanks for the video. Long live the Godfather. Chuck Berry.
Actually he died few years ago already...
Chuck Berry, the true King of Rock.
Excellent video instruction. Thank you!
awesome I wish I could play like this. Beautiful voice
Thanks Germain! This didn't come easy, took so many hours of practice to get down, but the video doesn't show that haha.
This was simply a fantastic lesson, thank you so much for
posting.
Dude, you just rocked it. Not only that, but you have an incredible voice. I'd like to hear a lot more from you. How about "That'll Be the Day" from Buddy Holly. Or Memphis? Please don't stop.
I only could learn it with you, bro! Just a amazing teacher!
Love the early 90’s studio. I’ve got a wine red 92. Love it.
I subscribe before I realize there was a right side audio track to this video. I watched this right side only and was blown away by your voice. For those of you wondering I lost my right ear years ago so I only use the left side ear bud.
Awesome lesson! Love this song!
great video and great job on the song!....still working on this song and thanks to your video I will get this down perfectly eventually.... :)
Great singing voice!
Very good tutorial. Easy to follow.... when you doing strumming those power chords slower,it'll sound like "Rock N Me" and "Taking Care Of Business". So,now I know where AC-DC's front guitarist Angus Young got his basic guitar lick from. He even copies Chuck Berry's duck walk..
After he said the first words i clicked the Subscribe Button incredible voice 👍👍👍👍👍
Dude I think you might be the only person I can learn from
You have reached excellence, the highest degree a human can. Congratulations.
Simp
That was awesome mate, and you are a fantastic teacher. Cheers from Australia!🇦🇺😆👍

That is brilliant I'm playing it soon at a special night and that is how I'm gonna play it absolutely fantastic
SWIFT!! I would like to say thank you so very much for your lessons, mainly your time and knowledge. I know you hear this a million times, but please know it is VERY, very appreciated! I just subscribed to your channel after watching many videos, and amazed at the time you take to show and explain your experience with anyone who wants to learn. You SWIFT!, help alot of people on your own time. I do hope many appreciate this, as I am sure many of us do. So....from ALL of us......THANK YOU for your time in teaching us to better improve our playing. EXCELLENT WORK!!!!

This is great man, Back to the future made me want to play guitar and i'm finally learning this song the right way. Very nostalgic. :)
Great job. Teaching, and performing. Your voice is great and the song feel is great.
Well demonstrated. Thanks for sharing.
Yes great lesson. Other lesson videos just aren't as complete and you have patience too.
Awesome man. Chuck would be proud
A fantastic lesson, been playing this for years but new I was playing it wrong, thought it about time I did right. After all, if you consider yourself a rock guitarist and you can't nail JBG, you ain't where it's at!
Great video, you include everything,and have it broken down into nice easy to learn pieces,best on RUclips for this song, Sadly we lost Chuck Berry yesterday, I'm sure you'll be getting a lot of hits today and the coming week
Amazing lesson, thank you for being so thorough, if you continue with these lessons you’re gonna make a musician out of me, no kidding!
This is the next tune I would like to learn i thought it was awesome good job man don't give up
That’s was pretty darn smooth !
WOW!! Man you blew it away! Great voice as well
Thanks for the lesson, loved your vocals too :)
I guess over 100 people weren't ready for that yet. But their kids are gunna love it.
🏅Comment of the day.
Another great lesson on a classic song. One that every guitarist needs to know :)
Well done! Good singer too!
Thanks, your videos have helped me learn so much, I can only imagine how much time and effort you put into making these videos.
Hey James, thanks so much for your friendly and empathetic comment. Yeah, I spend countless hours putting these together, but it's a lot of fun and I'm now getting some support on patreon, which is allowing me to do a lot more. On top of that, I'm also improving as a guitar player rapidly thanks to the demanding shooting schedule.
A bit late for a party, but gonna leave comment just for the algorithm. The fact I got reccomended this video only after so many subpar lessons on the youtube is unbelievable.
Good work . Thank you for posting. Hope you are well.
You got it! Great playing.
Muy bueno tu trabajo , exelente.
Stellar teaching effort
Amazing class man...! Thanks so much, truly...!
Mr Swift, you play it best! 🎸
Excellent lesson Swift!
This is really terrific. Thank you!!!
Damn Swift you KILLED this song. Super talented my man!
thanks much for posting this : it works . Hey ! all you you tube guitar teachers out there ! Listen up- - THIS is how to teach ! Mr. Swift lesson : please explain The Beatles Match box for us . But , do it YOUR way. K ?
Absolutely Amazing, what a great effort
Love that tone, too. your lessons are always the best. I had no idea you did this one. If you remember how you dialed that in, let me know. I am sure you might not remember from 2016, but I bet you could dial it back in in an instant! I can see you are in the middle position for the pick ups.
i do like the black beauty without the binding is that a 70s model i dont remember the toggle switch having a black cover on it only reason i asked. you killed it also
Excellent lesson. Great bonus for the rhythm parts.
Fantastic video dude. Awesome 👍👍👍👍👍
The sound is amazing... Your performance was awesome man! Keep the videos coming. I use a lot of your beginner videos. Too bad I don't live in Philly, I would definitely attend your classes!
Excelent job. Great!
