I'm glad to see resources on 50's rock people. It's a style that people should take seriously and remember as foundational to rock as a whole, and it's a lot more than just sped up blues.
Thank you so much for placing Chuck Berry's musical influence in its rightful historical context. He truly was instrumental in inventing the basic Rock'n Roll vocabulary all those years ago. And nobody was as proficient in ripping off Chuck Berry tunes as Chuck himself. Great video!
Chuck Berry, The Showman of Rock N Roll. However, Chuck Stole almost every lick he ever played from Goree Carter.. But nobody even talks about him anymore. Chuck's vocals & lyrics were perfect for the times. His showmanship also caught a lot of attention. It's nice to see him being honored in this video. Peace.. Joe
You are the best teacher of rock on u-tube. I wish you lived closer. Not only a great teacher of guitar but your philosophy on the Jonier is commendable. Think about doing lessons online by just uploading vids of different styles and artist but with your own flavor so there is no copy right bs! I would join along with many others.
Awesome! The slides implying the chords and the double stop pentatonics...so simple and so iconic. Great video, I learned so much I didn't know I didn't know!
Great video👍 The intro to No Particular Place To Go and the weird solo bend sounds like its meant to be a train horn in the distance. I think thats why it works slightly out of tune because of that doppler shift effect. Its a reworking of School Days where there its meant to sound like a school bell so isnt played as flat. Here its always sounded like a distant freight train to me while hes parked up in his car with his lady👍
Chuck's piano 🎹 player Johnnie Johnson was a huge influence on his playing style , watch the documentary/movie called " Chuck Berry " Hail , Hail Rock & Roll "
When you start a half step below and bend up the double stops to the chord tones is called Alternate Tension notes. You should do a theory lesson about "Alternate" tension notes. Eric Clapton Cream era said that he never picks one note at a time because it doesn't sound like rock n roll but instead strikes a note while another note get hit also at the same time which is a sympathetic resonance effect on a 6 string. Its not a double stop but instead you pick only ONE Note but get 2 notes at the same time by rubbing the vibrations against another note which sounds like 50's rock n roll like Ritchie Valens, Eddie Cochran, etc. If you listen to a lot of CREAM live concerts you will hear Clapton note play one note scale lines but a lot of sympathetic double notes very aggressive and dirty like the 50's cats Ritchie Valens, Eddie Cochran, Ike Turner
New subscriber here. I really appreciate your video structure & approach. Clear as a bell to me. Thank you! Rock gold to me. Would you please consider a late night session on how Keith Richards applied Chuck Berry’s building blocks? I’d love to hear your insights.
He also made The Guitar the King of Rock&Roll! As much as I would love to debate Little Richard's arguable claim to that title, Chuck made the Guitar the one essential element of R&R. You can take everything else out of the mix...drums, keys...but you can't take out the Guitar. The inspiration factor is also a claim that Chuck could make...look how many of MY heroes point directly to him.🤩😶🌫😎

Hearing chuck when i was a kid was what made me want to play guitar.
The KING of Rock and Roll ...period !

Love this. Never get tired of the King of rock n roll Chuck Berry. More Berry lessons 🎸🎸🎸
That’s the root of all that sounds right in a guitar 👍
Essential indeed. Hail Hail Rock & Roll from 1987 was a lot to take in as a kid but is essential viewing. Thank you for this lesson.
Great intro to this era of playing … maybe look at Chet Atkins during this same era … love the content and the commentary 😎

Love your explanations on everything you do
Very easy like you said but still very important

The lick from Around and around soon reminded me Great White music. Oh boy such a good rock n roll boogie stuff!

This is cool.
One of the funniest things I've ever seen is Chuck trying to teach the intro of 'Carol' to Keith Richard. "Bend up then play it".
Yea then he gives chuck a but of shit during that movie at one point when they’re both going on about keith adjusting chucks amp
Love Black LP’s👍
Very cool CB lessons ! Thanks
Another GOAT! Thanks!
Loved that thanks
Now you gotta teach us the secrets to Chuck Berry's stage dance moves!
Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful weekend also happy first day of June 😂😊
Jeez... so great... at one point my mind drifted off and I though I was listening to Angus Young jaming...Chuck was so influential.
ah Chuck. Great stuff Dave. Thank you.
Chuck's piano 🎹 player Johnnie Johnson was a huge influence on his playing style , watch the documentary/movie called " Chuck Berry " Hail , Hail Rock & Roll "
👍👍👍👍 Thanks 🤠
You point out the most important aspects of Chuck and his roots ... he was singular because he was a Gumbo unto hissel!
How about a lesson on Richard Thompson? He's a fab guitarist and song writer. Very underrated 😂

I like to do that
Chuck made it very clear that the "Johnny B Goode" lick is from Carl Hogan.
Try that last bend with a Floyd Rose! lol
!!!!!!!!
Some BTO or Randy Bauchman please ?
chuck was a great musician, too bad he was a terrible person
Stop judging
It's called Late Night Lessons because it sends you to sleep.
Foolish comment.
Some of us enjoy an intellectual dissertation on nuances of guitar techniques.
@@BlindTom61 ignore him he’s another braindead fool with a short attention span
Well, thanks for staying awake long enough to take a dump in the comment section.
😒👎
@@scottycunningham1413 Do you actually play guitar?
This is excellent…
