Are we playing Johnny B Goode WRONG?!

It's far better to learn how to understand a guitar solo rather than just learn where to put our fingers. I don't often bother getting every single note exactly the same as the original song, it's more important to understand how the solo was constructed. That being said, this one particular note in Chuck Berry's Johnny B Goode that many of us play wrong, does rather bug me.
On Patreon this week we will have a complete Master Class lesson on this subject. Learn how to analyze a guitar solo that you're truly understanding the song, and gain a deeper understanding of the guitar as an instrument, the fretboard, harmony, and more.

We all have to unlearn what we have learned... We all thought we could play the "Chuck Berry Lick"... ....Wrong answer... Thanks a million times...!

@GuitarLessonsVancouver Nice catch and great explanation! Thanks.

Great lesson. I was fortunate to learn this from that same tab book I purchased about 20 years ago. Interestingly, Chuck slid up from the blue note as G strings were too thick to bend easily in 1957, and this classic song was originally recorded in A and the tape sped up to increase the tempo.

@GuitarLessonsVancouver 5 месяцев назад

I didn't know it was sped up that's interesting. I always thought he just played it in Bb 😀

@@GuitarLessonsVancouver On that subject, it was originally played on a Gibson ES175 with Humbuckers (as patented in 1957). Back to the Future version was played on a red ES345 which wasn't made until later, but who cares, it was a great movie.

@@davidf9278 It was a great movie indeed. Wish I had one of either of those guitars :)

Funny you being it up, Blue. As it happens, I've always, always heard it as a 1/2 step bend (to an F?). But, i guess i learned it long before i knew anything about pentatonic shapes, lol. Either way, I'm glad you played the whole intro, cuz i don't have that recording, and now i can learn the whole thing. 🤪 👍 👌

This was very interesting plus the Blues note being used by Chuck Berry is just so proper!

@marmadukewinterbotham2599 7 месяцев назад

Did Chuck play that 'wrong' note bcause guitars back then had strings like steel hawsers so he made the bend a bit easier?

@jimdep6542 7 месяцев назад

There ya go........that makes sense.

@@GuitarLessonsVancouverHey Blue, you play the Chuck Berry style great. I'm going to check your library to see if you made vids teaching the Chuck type of stuff.

@jimsmith1959 7 месяцев назад

Once you hear a "wrong" note in these old rock tunes, it suddenly becomes..........."jazz".

@GuitarLessonsVancouver 7 месяцев назад

Haha sometimes ya 🤣

@idiotgrins3238 7 месяцев назад

Those bends are the start of an overdub. Chuck switches to rhythm on the basic track at that moment. Once you hear it, you can’t I hear it.

@idiotgrins3238 7 месяцев назад

unhear

@GuitarLessonsVancouver 6 месяцев назад

Yeah I've wondered about that. The guitar tone is slightly different

@MichaelReeps 7 месяцев назад

I thought Chuck slid into that note, al a T-Bone Walker, and didn't bend at all?

@kurtarbuckle1730 7 месяцев назад

Well,ok. But the wrong d# gets bent a whole step. So, it ends on f also. Not a huge difference

@r0bophonic 7 месяцев назад

I think the point Blue is making is that the E played here - the blue note - is a musically significant choice because it has a special role in defining the sound of the blues. If your name was Blue you might agree 😉

@GuitarLessonsVancouver 7 месяцев назад

Well said thank you 😀

@jezzdavis9059 7 месяцев назад

I'm completely non theory, and always played it how Chuck did. Simply by hearing, no scales to steer me wrong.

@jimdep6542 7 месяцев назад

I think that was Chuck's approach too.

@whitex4652 7 месяцев назад

But we will work on the duck walk, do we? :-))

@jimdep6542 7 месяцев назад

MOST likely, that's what got Chuck more famous than whether or not he bent that note a half step instead of a full step. The old " Image is everything" saying has applied to music celebrities for a long time.
