Tutorial #3 - Rockabilly Boogie Guitar - Carl Perkins Style - Part 1 - Jez Quayle
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.ค. 2024
- In this video I teach the boogie guitar technique Carl Perkins used to accompany himself when singing his rockabilly classics 'Blues Suede Shoes', 'Boppin the Blues', 'Gone Gone Gone', etc. Carl not only used this technique when playing his own compositions, but also when covering other rock 'n' roll songs. This technique sounds great on both acoustic and electric guitar.
Here's a contents list (with times) so you can jump to topics if you wish to:
- Demonstration: 'Boppin' the Blues' in A - 00:05
- Boogie Riff#1 played along with an A chord - 01:15
- Boogie Riff#1 played along with an E chord - 03:30
- Carl Perkins Boogie Riff#1 played along with an A chord - 03:45
- Carl Perkins Boogie Riff#1 played along with an E chord - 04:34
- Palm Damping - 04:46
- Boogie Riff#2 played along with a D chord - 05:03
- Boogie Riff#3 played along with a D chord - 05:57
- Carl Perkins Boogie Riff#2 played along with a D chord - 06:37
- Carl Perkins Boogie Riffs#2 & #3 played along with a D chord - 07:10
- Putting all the riffs together in a 12- bar blues - 07:19
- Walk- up Lick (when changing from the A to the D chord) - 07:54
- Carl Perkins Boogie Riff#4 played along with an A chord - 08:50
- Demonstration: 'Blue Suede Shoes' in A 10:34
Although I suggest the use of 'palm damping' when playing in this style (as Carl Perkins did), these boogie riffs also sound great if you let the strings ring.
If you'd like to learn more of this guitar technique, here's a link to my Tutorial #7 - Rockabilly Boogie Guitar - Carl Perkins Style - Part 2: • Tutorial #7 - Rockabil...
I've recently published a chord songbook called '50 from the Fifties' ...containing 50 classic rock 'n' roll songs from the 1950s. All of the songs can be played with just 4, easy open chords! It's ideal for both beginners and experienced guitarists who want to use the techniques I teach in my tutorials on some great rockin' tunes. It contains classic hits by the likes of Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran, Fats Domino, Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, and many more. If you'd like to buy a copy then search for 'Jez Quayle Rock and Roll Songbook' on the Amazon or Lulu.com websites.
Here's some tab for the Carl Perkins style lick I play at the end of my 'Boppin' the Blues' demo at the beginning of the video:

Thank you, you're my rockabilly teacher! Cheers from St. Petersburg, Russia!
Hi Sergey! That's good to know. привет from England!
GREAT LESSON, no books around can explain so well how to play Perkins' stuff!!!
Thanks very much Luca!
You nailed the sound from that era
Thanks very much Jeff!
I'm just diggin' these lessons Man !!!
Plz keep 'em comin'
👊😁👍
Really enjoy your videos, Jez, and just received your Rock and Roll Songbook as a Christmas gift. Just had my 80th birthday few weeks ago, and still enjoy playing these wonderful 50s songs.
Hi Allan. Thanks very much! It’s nice to know that you were given a copy of the songbook for Christmas. I hope you get a lot of enjoyment from it. A belated happy 80th! ...Paul McCartney's still rocking' at 80 too! :D
I appreciate these new tutorials, makes my life easier.
Glad you like them! :D
Another master class from the good times... Thank you !!!
Thanks very much Oscar!
Jez your one of the best teachers I found on you tube . Love your rockabilly lessons especially the lessons on Carl Perkins . Could you please someday do a tutorial on Blue Suede Shoes by Carl Perkins . I look for a tutorial for a long time and haven’t found anything. Thank you Jim Sheets
Thanks very much Jim! And thanks for the request. I've considered making a 'Blues Suede Shoes' tutorial but thought I'd just end up repeating material that I've covered in this and other tutorials I've made. I'm wondering: if I were to make that tutorial, what would you like it to contain? I've been avoiding making 'lead guitar' tutorials (although I have made one on the intro and solos in Roll Over Beethoven).
Un maestro de verdad!!! Genio!!! Muchas gracias! Thank you
Desde Argentina!
¡Muchas gracias! Me alegro de que lo haya encontrado útil. Saludos desde Inglaterra.

Thanks very much!
que buen rockkkkk!!! mas tutoriales please!!
Thanks very much Pablo!
Thanks again. Very helpful. I also used a Watkins tape delay. Great sound but what a bother I had with it. Digital it is now. Regards . Dave
Yes, the Copicats were a bit of a bother. They still make them apparently.
You've made me want to learn to play the guitar now!!
Yes, do it! With your newly found uke skills you shouldn't have too much trouble picking up the guitar. It's great to be able to switch between the two instruments. :D
Oh!!! You are such a bad influence!!! I’m kicking myself now as back when I was about 10 or 11 I actually had an acoustic guitar but each time I tried to play it I would end up blistering my fingers really badly so I got rid of it :(
I'll bet your fingers are a bit tougher now ...after all that uke playing?
Welll they’ve definitely got calluses! Not too sure how they would cope with steel strings! I may have to keep an eye out for a second hand guitar and find out! :)
I've never seen any lesson with this much perfection level❤️Simply loved it...please keep sharing lessons with us :)
Wow, thanks very much for those positive words! I'm glad you like my videos.
And thus Carl lives on, thank you...
Thanks Joe!
Oh ja - lass uns gemeinsam rocken - Genieß das Leben 👌🌈🎸😎
Thanks very much! Glad you like it.
Good I order your book. Greatings from France !
Merci beaucoup Laurent! Greetings from England.
@@RocknRollSongbook Good. Take care of you.
Do you have fingerstyle rock and roll tutorials in your videos?
No. Not yet. Maybe in the future.
Just been watching this tutorial again which is very well explained 😊. (Great job Jez.) I was wondering if you happen to have a pdf of these riffs as that would be super helpful 🎶
Thanks very much Kay! Yes, I should probably make a pdf for these. I'll add it to the to do list.
You are great clear and precise with your upper middle class english accent. As a newbie old man can only dream of playing like that. And you can sing too, subscribed and rang the bell.
Thanks very much Matthew! And thanks for subscribing. Your 'upper middle class' comment made me chuckle. I presume you're not British? I suppose I sound a little 'posh' compared to some, but genuinely upper middle class people would think I sound 'common' with my northern vowels (flat A's and U's). Hehehe. Happy strummin'! - Jez
@@RocknRollSongbook boooooo ge lol. It is boog-e (say "book" but switch in a g). Typical yank schwa vowel sound.
Hehehe, yeah ...as soon as Yanks start pronouncing English and French words correctly, I'll start pronouncing their words how they pronounce them. 🤪
@@RocknRollSongbook haha. We have some doozies. Lived near a town named Versailles. We called it ver-SALES.
BBCs The Story of English tells how Americans actually preserved some words that were falling out of use in Jolly England.
Yes, that's true. We used to use words like 'gotten', 'candy', and 'skillet', but not anymore. Accents and linguistics are particular interests of mine.
I've always thought it interesting how Americans stress the last syllable when pronouncing French words like balLET, merLOT, and consomME. The French don't do that on these words, and neither do the English.
I've heard some Americans claim that their accent is closer to the accent of the English back in the 17th Century when the English first began to settle in north America. It feels like they're trying to compete, by saying that they're more 'authentic'. All very silly, untrue, and highly simplistic. I think it's because many Americans think that the 'RP' accents of posh people like Hugh Grant, Boris Johnson and the British 'ruling classes' is the 'English' accent, when in fact, only a tiny percentage of English people speak like that. We have many very varied accents. Many people (e.g., in Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Lancashire, etc, and in Scotland) have the rhotic R sound that is characteristic of American accents, and most English people don't have the long A sound of RP and south western English accents (e.g., pronouncing words like 'bath' and 'glass' so they rhythm with 'farce').
I live in Yorkshire, where we have many slang and dialect words that come from old Norse -- from the days of the Vikings ('Danelaw'). Words like 'bairn' (child), 'happen' (perhaps), 'aye up' (hello or be careful), and 'laik' (to play).
Why do Americans say 'jolly' England? I've always wondered.
GREAT lesson, I love that sound of the 50's . Is that Gibson J-45 your guitar of choice? I enjoy the way you present the lessons THANK YOU from Houston, Texas
Thanks very much Gary! I use different guitars for different types of playing I suppose. I mostly use my J45 for gigging (and for these videos) I play solo gigs and gigs with a band using this guitar. It's nice and loud and full for playing unamplified in pubs and at completely acoustic performances. When sitting around at home I usually play my Taylor GS Mini (smaller and a little quieter). Best wishes from Yorkshire, England - Jez
Muito bacana esse canal
Tô aproveitando bem.
Muito obrigado! Estou feliz que você gostou.
@@RocknRollSongbook ! As usual you nailded it!
Im not sure if I subscribed for instruction or just to listen. Your rhythm is really tight, you sound great.
Thanks very much!
Great tutorials. Got me back to listening to the originals. Question if you don’t mind. How to you get your authentic sound. The voice echo and guitar slapback.Love it. Many thanks. Dave
Thanks very much David. Glad you like the sound. The video editing software I use to make these has the facility to add echo to the sound I record on my video camera. I adjusted the different echo parameters to sound as close to the sound from old Sun and Chess records as I could get it. I use the one stereo mic, so it's the same effect on both the vocals and guitar.
perfect think you :)
Thanks very much Fabrice!
This would also sound great on a Overdriven Strat into a Marshall .
I'm really glad I found your site! It's a natural addition to playing acoustic blues. I'm having one problem though - it's playing a 2-string up strum while palm muting. I have no problem with muted 2 string down strokes when I play blues shuffles or single string up strokes, but I can't can't get the upstrokes to sound two strings together while palm muting. Any thoughts anyone?
Thanks very much David! I use quite a soft pick, and maybe that helps with it. Also, don't worry about play too cleanly. I'm sure that at least some of the time I end up playing just one of the two strings on the up-strokes (the first string the pick comes into contact with), and I think Carl Perkins did this too. It's still sounds good, and sometimes I do this deliberately for that reason. I hope that helps a little - Jez 🙂
