    No apology necessary to keep the most iconic rock and roll lick ever created in front of the masses, not only for the new players coming online that need to know how to do it right, but as a reminder to the experienced community that this lick alone is indeed the reason so many of us HAD to pick up the guitar so many years ago and never looked back!

    Sleep soundly tonight, young man, knowing that an old lady wore a broad grin all day, and howled with laughter when (I did my best) to play this. I don't play guitar but there's been one in the house for about a month. The last few weeks I decided..... I really should learn to play, just a little something. And sound like - Hendrix. Why not?
    I have a greater gift -- indeed, for inviting massive disappointment - than I do playing the guitar; nevertheless, had so much fun. thank you!

    I went to several other guitar instructors takes before this one was found… This is by far the most thorough lesson[s] on this iconic classic that I found!
    Outstanding lesson[s] here Adrian!
    I must admit, this is very difficult for me… I’ve been playing 10 years, but I never did go down the Chuck Berry approach portal! As you said , Chuck Berry is by far one of the greatest guitarist ever…In my mind, he was the Ming of rock ‘n’ roll!
    THANK YOU ADRIAN… I HAVE FOUND MY PROJECT SONG for the next good while!

    I really appreciate this, I'm in my late 40's, never really learned more than a few basic chords. I'm pushing myself into regular practice now, having recently acquired a new well setup guitar really helps playing a lot and doesn't hurt the fingers near as much as a badly setup instrument (my other guitar, a '91 Samick strat is great but needs fretwork before I can lower the action, I'll get around to it). After a lot of practice getting it right I was finally able to follow you note for note in the slow play through at 15:05 which was a big achievement for me - it's a great addition to the tutorial to help make sure you have it all in order before speeding things up. Now to work my way up to the actual song speed before taking on part 2. Thanks!

    • @cskueny
      @cskueny 3 года назад +3

      Ha, I'm still playing a lot of songs from Adrian's fingerstyle lesson in such a slow motion that they don't even sound like the same song at first. But I gradually get faster. Doing things slowly and correctly is truly the only way to get there.

  • @keithchilvers7434
    @keithchilvers7434 3 года назад

    This is a great lesson, after years of fumbling around this to actually (be nerdy) and learn to play exactly as Chuck did is great. I found the most difficult bit getting used to playing with almost all down strokes, being used to playing up/down up/down with a few rakes and a bit of cross-picking thrown in mostly. It dawned on me why it is essential to play this way to get Chuck's sound and drive - he derived a lot of his inspiration and licks from the New Orleans barrel-house piano players and that's why he played that way - there ain't no up strokes on a piano! He was playing as a piano player would.

    • @patrickweston2826
      @patrickweston2826 7 лет назад

      Chuck Berry actually played this different each time as is common among players old and new. That gives the current played license to change up and choose which they like best. Also there is always room for another point of view from an instructors point of view and I like that. I agree though, Adrian's lessons are always insightful and I always learn something new from him no matter how long I've been playing a song.

    • @budandbean1
      @budandbean1 7 лет назад +1

      Patrick, yes a lot of folks play it different all throughout the song but, in my mind, there is only one correct way to play the intro and that's the way Adrian just played it. It's the way you hear it at the beginning of anything on the TV or Radio story or spot about Chuck Berry. They all play this one certain version. Thanks...
