- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.ย. 2024
- I hope you enjoy my second rockin' medley! As with my last video, my aim is to demonstrate how easy it can be to play rock 'n' roll and rockabilly songs on the acoustic guitar -- it's not the number of chords you know, it's how you use them that counts!
I teach the strumming patterns I use when playing open chord rock and roll like this in my Tutorial #5: • Tutorial #5 - Rock 'n'...
You can learn some of the most commonly used riffs in rock and roll and rockabilly from my other guitar tutorials: • Rock and Roll / Rockab...
If you'd like to buy a copy of my new chord songbook '50 from the Fifties', which contains 50 classic rock 'n' roll and rockabilly songs that can be played with just 4 easy open chords, then search for 'Jez Quayle' and 'Rock and Roll' on Amazon. Unfortunately, I can't provide a single Amazon link that will work all around the world.
If Amazon says 'out of stock', or you'd prefer not to use Amazon, you can also purchase the songbook from Lulu.com in paperback or as an eBook (pdf format). Here's the Lulu.com link: www.lulu.com/s...

I used to play guitar many times ago.....with our country songs. After many ,many years, I have got big wish to start play guitar again....listening and looking your easy approach to play guitar like ritham, not solo,....thank you.
I hope you have fun making friends with your guitar again! You can do a hell of lot with just a few chords ...and a lot of rhythm! - Jez 😄
Same here brother! Back having a go again at 76. BTW Jez, I just ordered your “50 from the 50s song book off Amazon to help me reconnect.
I am 77 years old. Your music just me a bit nostalgic but makes me happy 😊.
Hi Paul! It's good to know this brought back some good memories for you - Jez
I like the way you change the key to keep it interesting.
Thanks very much!
Thank you!!! Teaching my 13 year old grandson. ADE are first chords he learned and now we add the B7.
Perfect for rock n roll! 🎸🎶
What fun stuff! First heard rock n roll in in 1955 in northern, cal.
First time I ever tapped my foot to music.
I'm glad this brought back some good memories Jocko - Jez
Selva.Aqui no Brasil curtindo um bom e velho rock in Roll

Thank you for the rockin' medley songs...
Ordered your songbook. Back playing guitar at 76 and a songbook is the only way to go! It’s a bit difficult to read the chords of an IPad around the campfire. Thanks again Jez. All I gotta do now is learn to sing so people don’t pack up and go home! LOL!
Thanks very much Pat! I'm all for real, paper songbooks too. I like the sound of that campfire, rock 'n' roll sing-along.
Fantastic. You have a great voice. Hopefully, I can play guitar as well as you. Thanks. I also order your book. Keep on playing love to hear more.

We've added you to our 'sing a longs' where, as you probably know, is the highest honour that can be bestowed on you (outside of your platinum). ❤ Thanks for sharing...love you...
Wow, thank you! That’s great to know. What do your sing-alongs entail? How many of you are there?
I bought tour book tks for your work!! Genny from Milano
Thanks for the songbook purchase! I hope you enjoy using it - Jez from Yorkshire, England

Absolutely looooved how you played Rip it Up. The "drum" then into a chord is *@#+ing outstanding... Show-off! 😂
Thanks very much! Lexa 😁
Great video Jim playing music we all love👍
Thank very much Stuart!
Maravilloso!! Muchas gracias, maestro.
Muchas gracias!
“Knockin’ it out of the park” as our USA friends would say or maybe we should say “hitting it for 6” Jez. Lots of energy and doable for us average folks too. Thanks mate 🙏💕
Thanks very much Lawrie! Glad you like it.
@@RocknRollSongbook Where can we find your book?
Another fantastic lesson. Damn, that room has great acoustics. Keep them coming, brother. I’ve just ordered your book. Hoping you’ll hand deliver it & we could jam over a cuppa. Cheers again from 🇨🇦
Thanks very much Matthew! And thanks for the purchase. A trip to sunny California for a jam session sounds like good fun. Send me a plane ticket and I'll be there. 😎 All the best, Jez
Fantastic work👌👌Thank's for the share!
Have a nice day!
Thanks very much!
Rockin Fantastic !
Thanks very much Adrian!
Really enjoy your u-tube output Jez-so much so that I bought the book,that's a perfect compliment. As an older learner on guitar (previously a Sax. player) your lessons are ideal-I'd be happy just to be able to play something people recognised! Keep on rockin'!
Thanks very much Kevin! I'm really pleased you're finding my videos useful. And thanks for the book purchase! Keep on rockin' with me!
Man this guy rocks l!!!!
Thanks very much Eduardo!
Great !
Bravo for your rock'n'roll that you sing very well..
Musical friendships

Thanks very much Pierre!
AWESOME,, ...Great lesson,.... . , you have a good singing voice brother.
Thanks very much!
Outstanding
Thanks very much Marcelo!
Great performances and that Taylor sounds awesome too!
Thanks very much Dave? (not Dave Berry the singer by any chance?)
@@RocknRollSongbook unfortunately not - the no musical talent one 🙄
Hehehe . Sorry, I had to check. I know a guitarist who used to play in his band, so there's a distant connection.
Great video, my friend. Loving your medley and voice. I would love to sit around the campfire, play and sing with you.
Thanks very much Jeff! That sounds like a lot of fun!
This is fabulous!!!!!! Great lesson 👍
Thanks very much M J!
Best tenner i spent in a long long time
Thanks very much! You've received your copy of the songbook I assume? 😊
@@RocknRollSongbook yep , came a few days after i messaged you on the original video , Cannot rate it high enough , even told the guys in Guitar Zoom and one of the American chaps bought it to show his students there was life before Zepplin as he put it
@@ant67hony Thanks Tony! Keep spreading the word! If you fancy putting some words like those into a review on Amazon, I'd really appreciate it. Cheers, Jez 😊
Played through your book, fun and easy...next we need to figure out how to get out of basic chord strumming a little riff and back into chord strumming...like the way you open this video,,,,
I'm glad you like the songbook. Thanks very much for the Amazon review btw. I've only made one lead guitar video so far (the lead guitar parts in Chuck Berry's 'Roll Over Beethoven'). It's aimed at fairly advanced players I suppose, but you may find it useful if you'd like to play some of those bluesy style licks. Here's a link: th-cam.com/video/96xJJ_OCHAo/w-d-xo.html The string bends are much easy on electric guitar than acoustic guitar.
Oh god how i wish to teach us please every song u played in your channel 😔 ❤️🇩🇿
you are good !
Thanks very much! Xxx
Keep this up, this is my favorite music, please be more
Thanks very much! I will.
Love this
Thanks very much John!
OMG ! You're amazing!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, thanks very much Vera! Glad you like my playing.
Thanks Jez, it sounds great!
Thanks very much Graham!
Jez 😃 this is really good fun 👏👏👏 🎶 I enjoyed it very much 💃
Thanks very much Ingrid! Glad you enjoyed it. 😊
Like your Videos my brother. Keep Rocking n Rolling!
Thanks very much! Will do. 👍
Looking at u play I want to learn the rock and roll rhythm. Love the way you play..u make it look so easy. ❤
Thanks very much Carl! Glad you like my playing.
Your welcome dear.❤
Hello, great tutorial, thank you. The thing that bring additional attractiveness to your performance is the way of singing rock&roll songs. You sing it with lot of nice vocal "riffs", just like you use the riffs in guitar playing. A tutorial about your way of rock&roll singing would be interesting to see, as well :). V
Thanks very much! That's very nice of you to say. I've been thinking about making a rock 'n' roll singing tutorial actually. I'm not sure what I could teach though. I'm not fully aware of some of what I do.
Genau mein Ding , thank´s man , rock on :)
Bought the book to use with our beginners guitar group in spain
Thanks very much for the purchase Cazzie! It's ideal for a group like yours. I hope you get a lot of pleasure from it - Jez 😊
Oooooh, qué buen set, espectacular, Jez, gracias por tanto rock, qué lindo es ver que ese sentimiento por el rock sigue vivo en todo el mundo, gracias por compartir tu talento, me diste ganas de agarrar mi vieja y maltrecha guitarra para tocar rock cuando regrese del trabajo, abrazo grande desde Argentina!
¡Muchas gracias Sergio! Saludos desde Inglaterra. ¡Sí, coge esa guitarra y empieza a rockin'!
@@RocknRollSongbook gracias por la buena onda, gracias, hermano, y debo agregar que cantás muy bien! Gracias por la respuesta, me alegrás el largo viaje hacia el trabajo, que sea rock por siempre!!! 😊

Thanks very much Tom!

Thanks vey much!
Hey Jez, i like your sound so much. Please tell me, what type of plek and strings you use to get that snappy sound. I cant stop learning from your videos!
Thanks very much! I’m really pleased you’re enjoying my videos. 😊
E isso ai cara .
Awesome 🔥
Thanks very much Mike!
Good old Rockn Roll ..sounds great 👍.. monkey chords ... Nice
Thanks very much!
@@RocknRollSongbook I bought your book 📖 pdf only but nice ... thx 😊
Hello Jez do you do a video where you run through one of the actual song sheets in your book as written if not that would be great Rich
Hi Rich. Yes, I've been planning to do something like that. Until I do, if you browse around my channel you'll find lots of songs that are played with the same chords and arrangements as those in the songbook. I may not always play them with open chords, but you should be able to use the songbook to strum along with me. Here are some examples:
- Chuck Berry's 'Rock and Roll Music': th-cam.com/video/L2yHaD7Sm0I/w-d-xo.html
- Little Richard's 'Tutti Frutti': th-cam.com/video/IIuQsVK8jWU/w-d-xo.html
- Buddy Holly's 'That'll Be The Day': th-cam.com/video/yc-hEleCoSU/w-d-xo.html
Let me know how you get on - Jez
Hey Jez. Your songs are great. Do you think you could do another '5More Rock 'n' Roll Songs, with 4 chords. None of your 5 or 10 song medley's have covered 'Rave On' or 'Summer Time Blues'. You could also demonstrate songs like 'La Bamba' and 'I Saw Her Standing There'. Love your work. Your songs are awesome. Mark from Australia!
Thanks very much Mark. I’ve been meaning to record another medley for a while. Thanks for the reminder. I’ll get on to it soon. 👍
Hi Jez, I'm loving these tutorials I bought your book I think its great to see chords and lyrics for each song but would've been even better if it showed the strumming pattern for each song. I'm trying to play Memphis Tennesse and Twenty flight rock. Thanks G
Thanks very much Gordon! I'm glad you like my tutorials. And thanks for the book purchase!
I deliberately didn't specify any particular strumming for any of the songs, as there's really no single way of playing them. Rock 'n' roll is a very flexible musical genre. For example, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran and Jerry Lee Lewis all covered Little Richard and Chuck Berry songs, but they all played them differently to the original recordings, and differently from each other. Many guitarists will use two or more different strumming within a song as they switch between different parts of the song (e.g., changing from a verse to a chorus, to an instrumental break, etc.). Also, I didn't want to assume that all of the guitarists using the songbook would wish to strum chords -- some might wish to play rock 'n' roll riffs, such as those I teach in my tutorials in place of the open chords. However, when I play 'Memphis Tennessee' with open chords, I mostly use strumming pattern #4 (on page 3 of the songbook). When I play 'Twenty Flight Rock', I usually play it using riffs, but if I use open chords, I mostly use strumming pattern #3. I hope that helps a little - Jez 😊
@@RocknRollSongbook thanks Jez this’ll help me a lot 🤙
You are my Hero😉👍, you Videos is very nice. Trank you👍

Thanks!
is it a Dunlop .46mm pick and Elixier 13 phosphor bronce?
You’re right about the picks I use: Jim Dunlop Delrin .46mm gauge. I usually use Martin .013 gauge strings on this guitar, …sometimes .012, which may have been the case in this video.
