[@bobcharles2015]

This guy deserves some love

[@PeteFGuitar]

Thanks Bob.

[@mangobro7364]

The more the better 🙂

[@blahdeblah1975]

Skunk Baxter said, "At some point, every guitarist has to pass through the 'Chuck Berry Portal'".

[@PeteFGuitar]

Too true!

[@dougsmith8430]

Love this quote! 🎸❤️

[@joannesphwolfs]

Allways nice when someone actually knows how to explain it.
Great job Pete

[@PeteFGuitar]

Very nice of you to say so, +John Wolfs, thanks.

[@jessesmith7469]

Probably the most helpful video I've seen on Chuck Berry Riffs

[@PeteFGuitar]

Thanks!

[@fybob13]

Just came across your Chuck Berry video, out standing ! Thank you, from a 73 year old that loves Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lews and more. I played a gig in Charlotte, N.C. with Little Richard in 1966. I love the Blues, 50's, 60's and 70's rock n roll, Dylan, Prine etc. Your videos are very helpful.
Thanks,
Bob

[@PeteFGuitar]

Thanks Bob.

[@sparkyarreff1917]

Absolutely outstanding! All excellent, especially the camera angles on the close ups which show the fingers and the strings as they are fretted. Thank you, and cheers!

[@PeteFGuitar]

Many thanks Sparky!

[@johnivey3259]

Great lesson, love listening to you.

[@PeteFGuitar]

Thanks very much +john ivey.

[@caleab27]

You look angry but sound sweet! Thanks for the lesson brother!!!

[@PeteFGuitar]

Ha ha, yes, some of these licks have a slightly aggressive edge to them, but they're also a lot of fun to play, especially with a band in front of a dancing crowd. Thanks for watching Caleab, I'm glad that you enjoyed it.

[@zekethetank]

Everything I see a guitar player get it done makes me wanna play that thang too. YES.

[@PeteFGuitar]

Thanks.

[@BigCityPalooka]

Thank you! I knew much of what you related, but there were some jams that were completely new to me… And that’s not even counting the licks you taught. Thank you so much for doing this! Very grateful.

[@PeteFGuitar]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching.

[@Drynamil7]

Thank you Pete! It's been very useful to me, and the close up of the hands on the fret showing all is very important.

[@PeteFGuitar]

You're very welcome! Thanks for watching.

[@geldeddonkey7320]

Thankyou , Chuck was and is the most distinctive and innovative rock guitarist ,a template for us all. 🎶RIP🎶🇦🇺

[@PeteFGuitar]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@mikaham681]

Very good lesson, very clear and easy to grasp! Thanks! Thumbs up!

[@PeteFGuitar]

Beautiful playing...the master Chuck Berry.

[@PeteFGuitar]

Thanks!

[@IlyaKralinsky]

I have been watching a great many guitar teachers on TH-cam in the last few days, but you are, by far, the kindest, warmest personality and a fantastic teacher all the way around. These lessons are so accessible and easy to understand. Thank you so much for this effort, and I'm off to view your other videos. Again, thanks so much for all you do.

[@PeteFGuitar]

That's very kind of you to say so Ilya, thank you.

[@FrankJamesMusic]

Great instruction Pete! Thanks for sharing.

[@PeteFGuitar]

[@Danielsfield]

Your a very good teacher clear and concise bravo.

[@takislifestories4655]

Good teacher means to spread knowledge generously-my opinion- and this is what you doing. Bravo and thanks a lot.

[@PeteFGuitar]

Many thanks.

[@tenodogblu]

Thank you Peter, loved it and the shirt!! Take care and here's to more rainy days in the south of London!!

[@PeteFGuitar]

It's been unseasonably dry lately! Must be all this global warming. :) Thanks for watching.

[@kingbozo02]

Nicely done, you did in 6 minutes what most people can't do in30....and threw in the pdf...

[@PeteFGuitar]

Thank you Fred. :)

[@notavalible8212]

Wonderful Lesson sir. You explain very well and this was a very interesting video over all. Thanks.

[@PeteFGuitar]

That's very kind of you, many thanks.

[@nickiwarren7750]

Very nice tutoria! Thank you very much!

[@limamarco]

You talk to us like we are sort of dumbs. But you know what? I like it and I like you. Very clear and straightforward guide to Chuck guitar playing!!! 10++++++

[@PeteFGuitar]

Thank my Marco! No, I'm just trying to pronounce my words clearly, and minimise the effects of my strong South London accent. Thanks for watching.

[@stevemead163]

Go Man Go... love it ...love the playing and thanks for the info...

[@PeteFGuitar]

Thanks Steve!

[@evanwright1180]

Thank you for bringing the theory into the lesson. Really great material.

[@PeteFGuitar]

Thanks Evan.

[@jorgejuarez1860]

Fantastic lesson

[@PeteFGuitar]

Thank you Jorge.

[@OlBlueshound]

Love it, very cool, thanks for showing us, I Love Chuck & his style, since I was 10. Cruellest hand I think life has dealt me is that I have no ability for music, I love Blues Rock, I appreciate most types & styles of music, but I wish had your ability. Lucky you & thanks for sharing.

[@PeteFGuitar]

You're welcome, many thanks for watching. But contrary to popular belief, no-one is born with musical ability. It takes a lot of work. Get yourself a guitar and a good teacher, clear the next two years, and you'll be surprised at what you can achieve. Good luck!

[@MauFerrusca]

Classy, evocative and expertly explained. 👌🏻

[@PeteFGuitar]

Thanks Mau!

[@van1976]

I loved that Chuck Berry "Medley" at the end. Great licks. I saw the ole "Chucksta" about 5 years ago, it was a benefit Concert (Boston). Good time.
5 STARS!
--Van

[@wjes775tube]

This format, (normal speed lick, great closeup slow lick, staff and tab) should be employed by the legions of well-meaning posters whose tutorials are unfortunately so poorly produced they are a waste of digital space. Thanks for presenting the lesson so effectively.

[@PeteFGuitar]

And than you Warren, for your kind comment.

[@aiiiiee]

I think this is an excellent instructional video and a lot of it has to do with an EXCELLENT camera angle for the close-ups! Never saw anyone make it easier to understand than you, Pete, and you have a great teaching style, too! I'm a Yank who had a 3.5 year run in London and HAD to come back; Lived up North London in Gospel Oak (betwixt Hampstead and Kentish Town) Where from South London do you live? (Living in the North, I didn't get south of the Thames much!)

[@PeteFGuitar]

Thanks +Fred Swan. I grew up in Clapham, but I live a littel further south in Carshalton now.

[@gergemall]

Awesome . Thank you

[@PeteFGuitar]

Thanks Jon.

[@LeeEisenstein]
