This is well done. You give a full play thru with vocal right up front. No time wasted. You showed right up front that you know what you are teaching. Then jump right into the lesson without a lot of talking. Great lesson!
This is the BEST tutorial ever for Johnny B Goode
I have watched a couple of lessons on this song.This is the best one yet.
Way better than Marty's =)
Check out Mr Tabs - even better - has tabs on screen while playing
This deserves more views. Lots of lessons for this song, but the full performance with close ups really adds something.
I've been watching you for about 2/1/2 yrs you're finger positions are very clear, and unlike other guitarist's, where you lay the fingers is so, very clear 😅 keep it up bro😊!
as we used to say old school (make that prehistoric school) your playing is the cat's meow, in today's vernacular, you be rockin' it big time.. you made this old man's day!!
Wow, awesome rock voice, really fits to this song!
wow, where has this guy been all my life.. " lol, this will now be the 3rd song i learning from him, sooooo natural and breaks everything down for us
This song is to Rock what Genesis is to the Bible.
I like Phil... but prefer the Gabriel version of the Bible
With the exception that this really happened.
I'm trying to learn to play guitar I've played drums for more than 40 years I just want to tell you I don't see any reason to watch any other videos but yours the way you teach is simply amazing and 100% through
Also I've never felt the need to follow anyone on Patreon but you sir can count on my support
Dude, Chuck would be proud to hear you playing and singing his songs.....
I have been practicing guitar now for five years roughly. Always been rhythm work with acoustic. But now I'm trying to learn blues lead and this is the song I dreamed of playing when I started. Your lesson is so easy to follow, I'm gonna get this! Thanks for the video. Nicely done and easy to follow
Six years later, here I am. Sounds terrific, and I especially like the backing track which has the drums playing the correct shuffle beat. Almost every version I hear gets this wrong. Shuffle, man, shuffle.
I study a lot of guitar lessons on u tube and you are tuning out to be the one I go to the most. I like how you do the hole song and how you break it down and how you make it easy to understand and on top of all that, you are just flat out GOOD. I sometimes get in a slump and don't play for long periods at a time, but tuning on one of your videos is the answer for that problem. You inspire the hell out of me, the good hell that is. I've learned a lot from you so far. Your a great teacher, singer and guitar player hope you stay around a long time. Thank You
life is so good when listening to you singing. Life is full of colors and will never reach an end.
Just great - best version on TH-cam by a country mile.
Love the singing too.
Chuck never played that song twice the exact same way - master of rock.
SYMPATICO...good voice...good guitar...good lesson, thank you !
Increible !!! Gracias por compartir tu talento !!!
This was simply a fantastic lesson, thank you so much for
posting.
Loads of tutorials online about this great song but this is the best by far, thanks so much for taking the time to do this!!
Great job on the guitar lesson. It was very thourgh, as you went slowly took the time to explain the chords used and in the order they are implemented and when the changes are. I am senior beginner at 62 years old and this will help me tremendously. I have been a Chuck Berry music fan since I was a young boy and will always be, as I love his poetically influenced style songs combined with his original innovative style of guitar playing. "Johnny B.Goode" came to be known as his signature song, though he had recorded many songs he left an indelible mark in music history. Though he is gone now, he left behind his music for everyone to enjoy. This very song is on the Voyager 1 satellite sent up into space in 1977 on a gold plated disc, the only rock and roll song chosen for the disc " The Sounds of Earth", and is now billions of miles away in interstellar space. In Rick Nelson's 1972 hit "Garden Party" he pays homage to Chuck Berry in the song with the lyrics: "someone opened up the closet door and out stepped Johnny B. Goode", as he was also known. Thank you so much for posting this video.
SWIFT!! I would like to say thank you so very much for your lessons, mainly your time and knowledge. I know you hear this a million times, but please know it is VERY, very appreciated!

So litari Ness what? You are very rude so shut the mouth 🖕🏽
Awesome lesson! Love this song!
WOW!! Man you blew it away! Great voice as well
what a great lesson. I haven't found one other teacher that goes slowly step by step along with the tabs. should be playing this up to speed very soon. thanks!
What a fab video this is, for us out here who want to learn the guitar riff of all time. Superbly shown and explained. Brilliant !!!!
So glad you’re enjoying my teaching style. This was a tough lesson to produce, but definitely one of the most rewarding. Thanks for the positive feedback! -Rob
swiftlessons Hi Rob, Yes, it certainly is a tough one but a great job done by you. I am still working on it and enjoying the lesson, Regards Dave.
Best example of this I’ve seen, and you can actually sing too.
So many details- thank you so much for your nice job.
That’s was pretty darn smooth !
You got it! Great playing.
WELL done mate.like your lessons you make them easy to learn, thanks
Good lesson. I have been playing most of the song essentially the same way, but the part I found most helpful is how you play at 1:28 in your video. That's the hardest part of the whole song and I realize I have been playing that part wrong. I will be learning to play it the way you do.
After watching your lesson I went back to the original Chuck Berry recording and found a few "surprises" that I hadn't noticed before:
1. There is rhythm guitar "shuffle" being played during Chuck's lead. I always thought Chuck was switching between lead and rhythm. (A second guitarist? I don't know if they were doing multi-track recording in the 1950s or not.)
2. An inconsistency by Chuck or his band at 0:13 in the original recording when the rhythm shuffle goes from F to D#, rather than going from F directly back to A# as it does in the rest of the song.
3. The rhythm guitar goes to low F at 1:37 and again at 1:57 in the original recording.
Awesome man. Chuck would be proud
Thanks for this lesson. My favorite one so far by you. Wanting to learn this the correct way for years. Thanks again,
Hey Stephen, thanks so much, glad you're enjoying this one. I've always jammed on this casually, but never really got down to brass tacks and learn it note by note. So glad I took the time! Thanks for taking the time to comment again. Have a great week of practice. -Rob
This is great man, Back to the future made me want to play guitar and i'm finally learning this song the right way. Very nostalgic. :)
That was awesome mate, and you are a fantastic teacher. Cheers from Australia!🇦🇺😆👍
Wow! Normally, I see musicians have ok vocal. But you can sing it very well
Hey thanks, I love singing these old rock n' roll tunes, so glad you enjoyed it. Please share when you have a chance! Enjoy your practice. -Rob
Great job all around including production and videos
The sound is amazing... Your performance was awesome man! Keep the videos coming. I use a lot of your beginner videos. Too bad I don't live in Philly, I would definitely attend your classes!
Excellent lesson. Great bonus for the rhythm parts.
Damn Swift you KILLED this song. Super talented my man!
I guess over 100 people weren't ready for that yet. But their kids are gunna love it.
🏅Comment of the day.
You nailed it and keep up the good work 🎸🕺🏻
Amazing lesson, thank you for being so thorough, if you continue with these lessons you’re gonna make a musician out of me, no kidding!
Excellent video instruction. Thank you!
Absolutely Amazing, what a great effort
Excellent lesson Swift!
de todos los que he oído hacer esa introducción en los muchos tutoriales que hay en TH-cam ud es el que más parecido la hace .....casi logra la figura exacta de como la toca Michael J. Fox......lo felicito....y la voz también está muy bien.....de los que he oído ud es el mejor
Muy bueno maestro , me encanta la música de Chuck Berry ,fue un genio.de La Plata Bs.As.Argentina
I subscribe before I realize there was a right side audio track to this video. I watched this right side only and was blown away by your voice. For those of you wondering I lost my right ear years ago so I only use the left side ear bud.
A fantastic lesson, been playing this for years but new I was playing it wrong, thought it about time I did right. After all, if you consider yourself a rock guitarist and you can't nail JBG, you ain't where it's at!
Love it !!!
Thanks for this really Great Lesson !
Another great lesson on a classic song. One that every guitarist needs to know :)
Man that cover was amazing..respect!
This is the next tune I would like to learn i thought it was awesome good job man don't give up

Well demonstrated. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. Nice breakdown you make it doable
Thanks, your videos have helped me learn so much, I can only imagine how much time and effort you put into making these videos.
Hey James, thanks so much for your friendly and empathetic comment. Yeah, I spend countless hours putting these together, but it's a lot of fun and I'm now getting some support on patreon, which is allowing me to do a lot more. On top of that, I'm also improving as a guitar player rapidly thanks to the demanding shooting schedule.
Very well explained, complete, all details in, excellent lesson..! Many thanks ...!
Got to be one of the best tutors I have came across. Thanks
This is my favorite song of all time. Its a shame I never learned it. Now I see its easy. Subbed and Thanks for the video. Long live the Godfather. Chuck Berry.

Felicitaciones Saludos desde Chile
A bit late for a party, but gonna leave comment just for the algorithm. The fact I got reccomended this video only after so many subpar lessons on the youtube is unbelievable.
Excellent job
Well explained. Thank you !
Fantastic video dude. Awesome 👍👍👍👍👍
Love that tone, too. your lessons are always the best. I had no idea you did this one. If you remember how you dialed that in, let me know. I am sure you might not remember from 2016, but I bet you could dial it back in in an instant! I can see you are in the middle position for the pick ups.
Excellent video, will try!
Great singing voice!
