- An easy to play, super-cool classic. Hard to believe this came out in 1958. Find the free tab/music here as well as the backing track I play over at the start of the video: www.anyonecanpl...

![Link Wray- "Rumble/Baby What You Want Me To Do" LIVE 1978 [Reelin' In The Years Archive]](/img/n.gif)
This song was completely different than anything else in 1958. It still sounds so rebellious and kick ass to this day.
👍🏼agree !
You're momma singing gospel is harder than any of the lame auto tuned nonsense we get today. This was 11 years before I was born , and didn't hear it until I was well into my 20's. The bass really gives the vibe of this.
It was banned from radio at the time because "Rumble" was a term for a gang fight. An instrumental that was banned lol.
It's refreshing to see someone use proper musical instruction.....counting rhythm's, time signatures, identifying notes and cord names. My guitar teacher had me read notation from a drum book for 9 months to learn how to count rhythm and play "in-time". It was boring as hell for a teenager who just wanted to play Metallica. But after nine months of counting/playing whole/half/quarter eighth/sixteenth notes and triplets in all kinds of time signatures, to a metronome, my timing was solid as a rock. Best nine months of instruction I had on the guitar and it's lasted a lifetime (thanks John Pramious).
Yep, that's where I fucked up as a teenager. Just went straight for snazzy pentatonic improvisations with no rhythmic solidity whatsoever. I've been catching up ever since.
(A little late but) any chance you could linkthe drum book you used?
i didnt do that shit cause i have a good natural sense of rhythm anyway.its odd that people cant just "feel" it,must be a genetic thing?
would be pointless tbh,dude was probs trained decades ago,he practiced hard but practicing smart is better,now you have unlimited youtube vids,guitar pro and all sorts of stuff online,sweating playing 8 hours a day was always overkill,informative modern stuff will reduce the learning time easily.

@@Drunkmasamune (a little late but) Yes, I found it in an old pile of my instruction books from the 80s. It's called Modern Reading Text in 4/4 by Louis Bellson and Gil Breines (Belwin Mills Publishing Corp) Looking at it now, I see it's for all instruments but my teacher focused on syncopation studies much like a drummer would play for keeping time. I'm sure it's long since been out of print but any drum book with charts and a bass clef staff would accomplish the job of learning how to count in time. It's funny reading the hand written notes my teacher made throughout the book. Thanks again John, Rest in Peace.
Superbly done - easy to play, not easy to sound good!
Well considering Link Wray opened holes in his amp in order to get that tone, I think it's quite challenging to sound as good as he does.
agree !
To my knowledge; however limited... Damien says he had a gold top Les Paul; not yet vintage; too soon; lol! Rock on! 🤘
Link ray , the guitarist ( along with Jeff Beck etc. ) that none of the planks of society have any clue about but completely defined the music that everyone listened to for 50 years +
Hi Adrian, I bought a telecaster 3 weeks ago ( I'm 56 and have never played an instrument before) I've been following your Rumble lesson for 2 weeks and can play A , E , D and B7 now . Now learning how to change chord quicker and more smoothly......then on to timing and then finally that manic bit lol you are the best teacher I've come across on TH-cam thank you so much for taking the time to share some of your knowledge..... you cock man !
* rock, lel
Keep up the great work......Learning an instrument is giving yourself a gift that keeps giving for the rest of your life.
Same here... I'm 48... Bought a tele 3 months ago - best decision ever! Now I can't stop and just regret not doing it 30 years ago. Keep on rocking!
Awesome!
Although there never is really one true "first" song in any movement or genre, this one comes pretty darn close to being a truly seminal song that jump-started a whole new world of rock music. And it holds the distinction of being the only instrumental song ever to have been banned in the U.S. (At the time, "rumble" was a word for a street fight between gangs, so the provocative title was the main cause of the bans, and the sinister sound of distorted music -- almost never used before then -- didn't help its cause.)
Great lesson, as always, Adrian! Such an amazing teacher. Love your stuff.
amazing how great the tune was written with the simplest structure natural like it was always there
I forgot how great the Fender Jaguar's sound watching this video has reminded me to get one .
I always loved the way Link customized his
Thanks
It’s a Jazzmaster. A Jaguar has quite a different sound IMO.
I love the way you present this song. I bought the record back in the 50's and still have it and while I'm very new to the guitar I have learned to play this song, not super well but I;m still learning. This song has to be one of the fathers of heavy metal. To me it was well ahead of it's time but I loved then and still do. Again your lesson on this song was excellent.
Im 75 now and bought "Rumble" in 58 when i was 14,we went mad over it in school along with many other U.S.A. Billboard hits,all classics now and oh so glad i was around at the advent of R/R.and in no way would want to be 10yrs younger as would have missed out on that special era in music.
Although, the song is not very complicated, its full of "coolness" and attitude. Your lesson is excellent ! Really enjoyand appreciate your lessons Grazie !
Best tutorial of this song Sir. Thank You !
Using this tutorial as a guide to wrap my head around the guitar in general... been playing keys for about 10 years but never touched a stringed instrument before.
It may sound like a primary school recital at the moment but I'm surprised to be able to play the chords!
Thanks for taking the time to make this!
Thanks for the tab...I was a young 16 year old when this came out on the radio...I felt like I had been electrified... it was so different.
yeow can't believe you taught me this thing...I can sit back and play without looking...magic thanks.
This is one of the first things I learned when I got my electric guitar. So easy and fun.
Thank you for teaching this to your students....
Great job. Your jazzmaaster sounds awesome
It looks so clean and new. I wonder how it looks these days.
Russian bot the same
An oldie but a goodie, Adrian. Both the song and your lesson, that is. Since trying to learn Rumble as a beginning student (still at it, four years later!) I've accumulated Rumble instruction lessons from a number of different online teachers and probably bear the dubious distinction now of being somewhat of a connoisseur of Rumble study aides. Ha! From a technical standpoint, I thank your lesson is the best I've found with the greatest attention to detail and step-by-step analysis of the song. Thank you! You're one of my favorite online guitar instructors, again with the dubious distinction of my having subscribed to most!
This is a brilliant tutorial.
It's very clear and easy to follow.
Very useful to both novice and intermediate level players.
It clearly covers the music theory the song is based on without being overly technical.
The nuances of the recording are well covered too.
Very very accurate too.
Thanks for posting!
So cool, never would have guessed it came out in 58'. Thanks Adrian.
Oh yes, it would be wonderful if you could post the backing track. Cheers.
this is gonna be my first song,thank you for that great lesson
Hmm. Link Wray and Iggy and the Stooges. You like the ‘dangerous’ rock n roll too! Excellent swagger.
hi Adrian, this is one of the first songs I tried to learn a few years ago. There are several lessons on TH-cam, but none is as clear as yours. I wish I had this because it would have been easier. Thanks. By the way, I got Jazzmaster looking like yours....
out-freaking-standing! Great lesson mate
Thank you for helping me to fulfill
my bucket list. I think your lessons
are the best. You don't flaunt your
genius. Beginners like me I gather
are often intimidated by the skill
of their instructors. You make it
all seem possible.
I find myself watching this video over and over again.... Brilliant job dude!!!!!!
Thanks! Fantastic job on this; the tone and the playing is spot on.
The video of link
Playing this on TH-cam in the black outfit is so iconic. So much swagger and rawness. Long live Link.
Sounds so good man.. Brilliant job...
Thanks for the lesson. I've recently gotten interested in Link Wray's music and wanted to learn how to play some of it. You did a very good job of instruction. I'm on my way now to becoming a Wrayman in training. Thanks again!
Thank you, Adrian. You're a class act, and excellent instructor. Cheers, mate! :)
Cheers - really glad you enjoyed it!
Adrain, you are a great teacher and player, but I most admire your musicology and appreciation for the artist and styles that created guitar era. thanks and cheers

Cheers Adrian, thank you for this detailed, clear explanation on how to play Rumble by Link Wray. It's such a cool song and so accessible for beginners. 👍👍👍
My new favourite channel! Your tutorials are the most accurate on youtube and sound the best!
lots of people posting videos playing this song wrong - glad to see someone posting the D chord with the open E string ! Nice Job !
Very nice and correct rendition with a taste of your own style during the "rumble" section of the song. Enjoy your lessons immensely Adrian!
Tone to die for. Very nice.
Brilliantly explained and demonstrated. Thank you so much. Just downloaded the music and needed a bit of help which you've done superbly!
Great lesson!! This song is pure Rock n Roll!! 🎸
Amazing lesson! Thank you.
stumbled upon this classic last year, absolute monster,, cheers to u
Thank you for your instructions.. fun song to play..
Hi Adrian just found your brilliant lessons , i love playing this one too , don't be afraid of belting an open low E string
with the D chord it makes an interesting sort of D11 ? try it folks .
SPREAD EAGLE CROSS THE BLOCK!
No. Fuck u this is of the king of the guitar

*Incredible* song.
Excellent lesson!
Thank you.
🎵🎸🎵
Very fine playing here, and a superb lesson. The guitar is a Fender Vintage Reissue '65 Jazzmaster. This is a top of the line Fender guitar. I have 2 of these, one in Aztec Gold, and the other in Olympic White...they both play and sound wonderfully, and are my fave guitars of all!
Loved that lesson Adrian. I've been playing "Rumble" for a month now. But your lesson for the first time showed me some nuances that I didn't realize to make it sound more authentic. Looking for similar things like this in the future. Thanks...
Muy bueno! Felicitaciones y un saludo desde Buenos Aires, Argentina!
Hola amigo yo tambien
A very high quality lesson, yet very simple. Awesome guitar too. Thank you!
excellent video...clear, precise, and moves along at a smooth pace....no life's story....no trying to be cute..just straight forward...well done....
Thanks for teaching me this tune, Adrian! You're an excellent teacher and musician. Sidenote: just in case you don't look at Adrian's notation, there are a few 2/4 bars (triplet) or 6/8, however you're notating the tune.
I think this song can teach new players another lesson besides the skill of playing, but also how to dial in effects to get a sound. Add a touch of drive/gain and tremolo and the sound you make playing this song is pretty incredible.
Superb, thanks. Always struggled with the rhythm!
Adrian is hands-down the mostest coolest guitar teacher on TH-cam. Who else would have a Billy Corgan doll sitting on his amp?
Great lesson... Thank you very much!
that's fanrastic . thank you. strumming , yes, like you show it.
thanks for the most accurate and complete version of rumble 69 on TH-cam
Excellent lesson
I saw a clip of Link Wray on a documentary last night and had to look this up. Cool - will be one of the songs i play from now on.
Hi Adrian - from one Adrian to another. Just discovered your TH-cam channel. Some great stuff. Enjoy your lessons very much. Keep on going!
Cheers Adrian. Glad to hear you've been enjoying the lessons. More on the way, it's just a question of finding enough time to make them!
what kind of jazzmaster is that please?
This was the channel that I learned how to play this song on, and as simple as this song is ,timing is definitely everything if you want it to sound right. It's harder than it looks, lol! Great job!
You show the best tunes Nd in such a really understandable way thanks.
Lots of these interpretation on YT but I think you've just about got it nailed the right way. Thanks!
Wow, I've listened to a few of your lessons Adrian, but this one had me at hello! Brilliant!
Spot on. Thanks, man!
Just some info. for you guys: I don't think Link ever played a Jazzmaster. He actually, amongst many guitar, played the Yamaha SG-2 which looks like this. He also played a couple other Yamahas as well.
Loose wrist. Unusual fingering. Pull-offs. My wife has never felt more satisfied after I've been through one of these videos.
Underrated comment. 😂
mine preferes the up down, up down part. cheers
Excellent, accurate, well detailed, and succinct. Thank you and cheers.
This never gets old! Really great lesson Adrian!
So good!
Great lesson! Super fun song to learn. I've loved it my whole life. Thanks!
Thank you, Adrian -- you're the man!
Newest sub here. Really appreciate your teaching style Adrian. Many thanks
Thank you Adrian, another superb lesson. 👍👍👍
Excellent! Good to see a young guy play this!
Thanks for the clear and well-done lesson (with good tone, too)!
Such great teaching! 👍👍👍
Great tutorial, the Jazzmaster looks and sounds great too.
Great lesson. It is greatly appreciated ❤
Perfection cover! Played with feeling! Rock on! 🤘
That's a Great interpretation of that song I like the sound you get!. thanks Glenn....Fort Bragg California
Awesome teacher, keep up the excellent work! Thanks Adrian.
Fantastic,thanks
Another great one Adrian, thanks.
Love when he says, "Here's where it all goes kind of mental" Like taking a lesson from Ed Grimley if Ed Grimley was a great guitar instructor.
Right on!!! Jimmy Page's mentor - inventor of the power chord
Many thanks for another great lesson, Adrian! much appreciated.
Master of the guitar!...
Thanks for posting, great lesson.
Cool lesson
Very nice.
This song was actually banished in places here in the states when it came out. I did some research and Link could actually play some complex chordal things. But he's best remembered for these songs. They may not be especially clever or complex, they sure are fun to play while you make faces like each stroke hurts!
Your recording set-up is perfect dude. wow. I am impressed. So is your playing.
Great job. I always wanted to play that song. Starting out with a demo really got my attention. Love all of your videos.
Adrian you are great
Love your instructions keep up the good work 👍
Very nice! Thank you for the vid.
Finally a tutorial where it's not only good, but you even got the tone and all that shit right
Cheers, mate. Great lesson!
Hey its been a while since I last saw your post's, this is a comeback lmao amazing thank.thank you 🔊🔊🔊🤞😁
Great tone on this Adrian. Well done
Brilliant tutorial, thankyou
Man that rocks. Love your stuff. Subscribed.
