Back in the ‘50’s, the first wave of Rock n Roll began with Bill Hayley and the Comets “Rock around the Clock”. There was an explosion of kids suddenly wanting to play guitar and be cool and very quickly home grown bands were playing in dance halls country-wide. Eddie Cochrane was the king, but Gene Vincent was a bit more edgy and bands like Johnny Kidd and the Pirates proved that Brits could rock. Anyone in my generation already had rockabilly ingrained into them before the Beatles came along and even the Beatles were performing Rockabilly songs before they started writing their own.
@@metocvideo Wrong .the Frather of Rock N Roll was Chuck Berry .with His First Hit with Maybelline on Chess Record Lable .. No different than a Whiteman trying to Steal the credit from Benny hardy when he designed and Created Captian America and the Billy Bike for easy Rider ..👍 some times you have to give credit where credit is Due . In this case Chuck Berry Is the father and King of Rock N Roll .
This is just excellent stuff. I’ve played for years and no one has ever broken down double stops in a bar chord shape like this. Can’t believe I’ve ever stumbled upon this technique. Thanks so much!
Thanks Adrian, for revealing and explaining some of those rockabilly magic tricks. I'm often amazed how much easier it is to do than it sounds. Especially when broken down so excellently by one who understands. You've a good knack for teaching.
Great, accessible eye-opener of a lesson, Adrian! Why did it never occur to me that the plain old bar chord was a handful of double stops you don't need to search for? And the 3rd pair that slide down a couple frets into the Dom. 7th form (that leads to the IV chord) is effortlessly classy! Nice! Thanks, Man!
Many thanks Adrian for posting this lesson. I'm a longtime finger picker who isn't gifted at playing lead lines (soloing), which I still want to try and do on occasion. Your lesson here dovetails nicely with the "octaves" I play and practice as a means to more or less --- substitute for not being one who can break out with a solo when playing with someone else and/or other musicians. Octaves, double stops can --- "get me in the game" a little and "a little" is just fine with me. Thanks! Steve
Adrian, this is a totally usuable 1-4-5 rockabilly style riff, you're a great teacher and I'm looking forward to your other lessons. Hopefully you have a cowboy bebop lesson, common progressions, chord shapes& solo ideas.
Hi Adrian! This video really opened doors for me. Thank you very much for all your work. You are a great player and a wonderful teacher. Every step is very very well explained. For me it is always necessary to get these shapes explained and you did this in a perfect way. And you have an unbelievable rhythmic feeling. Great great great! Thanks a lot!
Dude ur like the best teacher ever. Thanks for all you do. So tired of sleepy same shit rock , this stuff is so alive sounding. I'm not a gonner yet. I feel alive and well learning this cool cat music again.
Been watching you for several weeks now you're awesome dude. I'm learning a lot. That is my style of playing as well as Stevie Ray Vaughan Style Blues and all of the related influences BB King Albert King Albert Collins Lightnin Hopkins etc etc and Jimmy Vaughn and the Thunderbirds. I'm from Brian setzer's hometown I grew up on Long Island got exposed to New York City and all the big names of the Blues & rockabilly with nothing but a beautiful learning and concert-going experience year after year growing up. 25 years later I'm really putting it all together thanks to people like you I really appreciate it and enjoy watching this Groove in this video is particularly lighting me up great tone
I was looking for a standard blues or rock lead in a ADE. But I came across this and learned it and I’m glad I did thank you. I’m still looking for a standard rock lead guitar part in A-D-E. Playing for so long I can’t even count the years and I still don’t know how to do a classic rock solo. I get confused in the turnaround. .
Thanks again Adrian ... you will make a country and rockabilly player of me yet ... this was great ... not too difficult for me, but I would never have worked it out for myself....
Adrian "Thank You ,Thank You ,Thank You ..The notes are in the chord only started to follow your channel recently..2020..well done that man and may the road rise with you sir.......
Another great lesson! You're "teaching style" is excellent, been trying to find some lessons that are original ideas and not just covers of various licks. Time to plug in the Gretsch!! Thanks again Adrian
Man I'm glad you're out there doin what you're doin . The only problem I have with you , is everytime you do a different style . You hook me on killer country licks and just when I'm getting it , you do a rockabilly lick and I have to jump on that . It's like a kid in a candy store and can't make up his mind on one because he sees something else etc ... STILL I LOVE ALL ! Keep it up man . You're AWESOME 😎🤘
You have the SOUND man! Not like these other lessons withe the dreadful SRV sound that every mainstream guitarist still (!!!!) uses today and that we hear all the time when we go to a guitar shop! THANKS for that! And you have the FEELING too!
I haven't heard a single guitarist using any kind of SRV anything, outside of SRV. Tone nor style. I also don't hear blues/pop ever. You guys are insane.
Great Job as Always, wonder if you could have a go at "Can't Seem to Make You Mine" by the Seeds. Guitarist Jan Savage does some outstanding guitar work after each phrase. Would love to see your take on it......................
TE ESCRIBO DESDE ARGENTINA ..... MUY BUENO TUS VIDEOS ESTE SOBRE TODO ME ENCANTO Y ME SIRVIO DE MUCHA UTILIDAD MUCHAS GRACIAS SI TENES MAS SOBRE ESTE ESTILO TE LO VOY AGRADECER MUCHAS GRACIAS Y VIVA EL ROCK AND ROLL QUE NO MURIO ...
Adrian,nice solo and you make it look so easy.It's perhaps the guitar you play so I must make it a priority to pinch your guitar then I too will play like you ....lol
thanks so much, Adrian, excellent lesson, you seem very patient as well as sharp, great qualities...if you take requests, can you teach "When Johnny Strikes up the Band' by Warren Zevon (Waddy Wachtel on guitar?)...I can play the chords, but the solo escapes me...if not, thanks, anyway...keep up the great and generous lessons
mk1 vox virage ,,,dont make them anymore ,, the mk1 like this had specialy designed dimarzio three90 pickups the later version had vox's own design " coaxe" pickups the rest of the guitar is all the same i have a couple of 55's and an hdc77 great guitars :)
Yep, that's all correct. It's a great guitar. The pickups are amazing - you have a three way switch which basically gives you humbucker, P90 and single coil sounds all in the same guitar.
Thanks been playing for 60 years and if you didn't break it down I wouldn't know what you were fingering. Appreciate it. By the way is that a Fender Princeton amp?
I,ve got 70 year old fingers so ti takes alot to get under them I,ve been playing about a year but I came across this 2 days ago and i,m going to get it down I,m playing about 6 to 7 hours since I started this riff and I,m about 70% but I,ll get there Thanks John

I've noticed the Brits seem to have a greater appreciation for rockabilly , which I'm glad someones keeping it alive

When the Fab Four met Carl Perkins for the first time, they called him "Mr. Carl Perkins" as he towered over them, out of respect.
@@LUCKYB. . . Yeah, and I wiped him like the dirty ass that he was when he released My Ding-a-Ling.
I wish I could have learned all your tips when I was young. I'm 70 now but loving your helpful videos. Thank you so much. 👏
We are never done being young brother look at Les Paul
Me too, now at 67 I still want to learn but it's a lot different for sure!
Who doesnt love Adrian! Great player & a heck of a teacher.

Mahalo for sharing your knowledge and unlocking (unleashing) the rockabilly in us all.
Sounded and looked difficult to start with, really simple when you explained it!
Simple when you think about it but quite brilliant. Really thought provoking lesson for me, Adrian.
Blindingly obvious... so why did'nt I see this fourty years ago? Take a cherrie and go to the top of the class Adrian... you're a star!
I'm finding this 7 years later, but hell yes! This is great stuff!
Very cool and so generous with your knowledge!
Adrian, So glad I found your channel. BEST Virtuoso Instructor EVER! Thank You!
Another fantastic lesson, thanks very much Adrian!! And as per other comments, great tone and beautiful Vox too!
10:15 is where he plays through slow. Great lesson, thanks, just what I needed.
Hi mate I've been learning ( because it never ends)
Rockerbilly for the last ten years or so, this little lick has added greatly.
So thanks man .👌
Thanks for sharing! I wish I had had RUclips 30 years ago when I was begging other guitarists to teach me this.

I'll be adding this to my list of practice licks after I get down the chicken lickin and country leads you've already posted. Thanks.
Thank you for quality instruction !
Hi Adrian, can you tell us something about that Vox guitar? Looks and sounds sweet.
mk1 vox virage ,,,dont make them anymore ,, the mk1 like this had specialy designed dimarzio three90 pickups the later version had vox's own design " coaxe" pickups the rest of the guitar is all the same i have a couple of 55's and an hdc77 great guitars :)
Yep, that's all correct. It's a great guitar. The pickups are amazing - you have a three way switch which basically gives you humbucker, P90 and single coil sounds all in the same guitar.
Kevin t
Oh what fun! I didn't even know that I liked rockabilly. Glad I'm subscribed, and thank you.
Super lesson... thanxxx
Yee haw great lesson thanks Adrian!!!
Great lesson from my new favorite instructor. Thanks so much
Would be interesting to know what set ups you use for these lessons.
good teacher..enough to get you on the way..
Wonderful solo!
Thanks been playing for 60 years and if you didn't break it down I wouldn't know what you were fingering. Appreciate it. By the way is that a Fender Princeton amp?
It's a early 80's Super Champ
awesome.. thanks for all the quality tutorials...
Adrian parabéns pelo video, onde consigo esse acompanhamento de fundo?? thank you..
Nice one Adrian 👍🏼🎵
These are some awesome licks! Thank you so much :)
Sounds awesome!
Sounds great, 50's :) thanks Adrian
I,ve got 70 year old fingers so ti takes alot to get under them I,ve been playing about a year but I came across this 2 days ago and i,m going to get it down I,m playing about 6 to 7 hours since I started this riff and I,m about 70% but I,ll get there Thanks John
Hi Adrian. Excellent lesson (again!). How do you get the rockabilly tone? A little reverb and???. Cheers
pptunes Slapback echo. Use a delay pedal set to give a quick, single repeat.
Actually, I'm not sure I hear it. Just the right pickups and amp just on the verge of breakup.
cheers man. Will give it a go and get myself a quiff!
David Reynolds You can hear it for a split second at 3:38 when he mutes the strings. It's subtle, definitely.
