Diddley was an underrated vocalist also. Could deliver a high wail, out of nowhere, right on the money. Not quite in Little Richard's league (who was?) but up there somewhere.
I liked the one he used that looked like a modern Billy-Bo…..Forgot one name the Godmother of rock Sister Rosetta Tharp that invented Rock and Roll…..Bo-Diddley beat. The main sound of “Willie and the hand jive or just hand jive. Great video on a great guitar and performer thanks.
It was called the Jupiter Thunderbird. The third design he used prominently, other than the Cigar Box and the Jupiter, was a thinner and spikier-looking design called the Cadillac. Sadly, it's the only one that has never been reissued by Gretsch. Puresalem Guitars made a run of them, which are the only ones I know of other than custom one-off replicas over the years.
For those who don't already know, the significant part of the Bo Diddley sound is a control knob on old amplifiers labeled "Speed" which I think later came to be called "Vibrato" instead
Did any guitars catch the virus!? If so, they couldn't have possibly caught it from you because you because you had the sophisticated technology to prevent the spread of airbourn micro-organisms.
Bo Diddley came from "diddly bow", you didn't explain that. Bro, the Bo Diddley rhythm is "shave and a haircut, six bits" are you an American? Take off that mask! Nice picking, though.

DOES THE MASK COME WITH IT?
Why do I want one of those so badly!?
Same. Saving up for one now. It looks and sounds so good.
Because you don't have one and you have GAS like I have. I just bought a new Gibson ES-335, now I have to save up to get one of these guitars. Ha!

Damn i love music thanks for the video
Was that song in standard or open g tuning? Thank you
Great playing and cool guitar.
You need to have the tremolo to sound like Bo.

Good lord, I hope your boy is feeling better than when he recorded this video.
Bo was the boss
Love Bo!

Calm down buttercup.
The 3-2 Salsa compas came way before Bo Diddley...
Slow down the Bo Diddley rhythm & you get the clave rhythm used in Latin music.
nice work!

There is for sure a crew of people on the other side of the camera. He’s most likely being considerate of his coworkers.

Love the story and the history. But I had to really laugh at how you are wearing a mask during the video lol. That is one of the dumbest things ever
What a pathetic thing to laugh at
