That was a marvellous perfect tutorial - as far as I can tell. Gotta say I have played this since soon after the release of the song. Was it in 1957? I was shown it by a friend. He had some older brothers and I think they showed him. We didn't know about capos but in all other respects we were damned close.... ! Watching you took me back all those years to age 14. (67 years). Thanks for reminding me. I just tried it on the guitar. A bit rusty. Not the same speed and flexibility but...... given another 67 years... eh! Thanks so much. {P.S. Wasn't Buddy great? I learned so much from Buddy. Terrible loss which shook me at the time. I bought his and my first ever LP}.
Thanks very much! I’m glad you found this useful. It must have been great living through that era and hearing those records when they were brand new. I was born in 1966 and first heard Buddy’s music in the mid 1970s, when there was a bit of a rock ‘n’ roll revival. I’ve loved his music since then, and played his music on guitar since my early teens. So, like you, I grew up listening to his music, and feel that Buddy taught me a lot. I’m pleased this brought back some happy memories for you. I like playing Buddy’s songs on ukulele too. Keep on pickin’ and strummin’! 🎸👓👍

Thanks very much Hubert! I've just made a video in which I demonstrate how to play the solos in Buddy's song 'I'm Looking for Someone to Love'. It builds on the technique Buddy used in 'That'll Be the Day'. I'll be uploading that video fairly soon.
Great video! I've never been able to play an A-shape chord with three fingers; I've always just used the middle and ring fingers, with my ring finger straddling the G and B strings.
Thanks very much Marvin! With my fat fingers, I struggled with playing an A chord as a kid, until I noticed the way Buddy Holly played it in film of him on the Ed Sullivan show. I've seen a few great guitarists play an A like you.
Nicely done. One of the first things I ever learned on guitar, back in the early '60s ... except I didn't know about the capo so I played it all without.
Excellent Jez and as usual, spot on! I remember my mate telling me years ago about the capo and that being how he achieved the "B7 shape" voicing for the E7 but I never used it and therefore never achieved a truly authentic version. I think I will now start using the capo!
Thanks very much Ray! You can hear Buddy using a capo on 'I'm Looking For Someone To Love', 'Think It Over', 'Baby I Don't Care', 'Ready Teddy', 'Rip It Up' and 'Well ...All Right' ...and probably others that don't come to mind.
Thanks very much Lawrie! I replaced my J-45 with this L-00, as it has a thinner, generally smaller body, and doesn't hurt my shoulder if I play it for long periods of time. I developed a shoulder injury with the J-45. Oh, how I suffer for my art!
Thanks very much Oliver! It's my new Gibson L-00. I developed a shoulder injury by playing my J-45 for long periods of time in the high playing position I like to have my guitars. I realised that it was due to the J-45's large, fat body. I tried changing my playing position, but couldn't get used to it, so I decided to get a smaller, thinner Gibson. The L-00 is shorter, and about 14mm thinner. That doesn't sound a lot, but it makes a big difference when playing it. It sounds quite similar to the J-45, and I love the brighter sunburst on mine.
@@RocknRollSongbook you welcome i love blues music and rock,play few years but on electric.because of you i want acoustic guitar😀its amazing.Do you practice a lot?how you learn?and practice?this is so good .
@@przemyslaw1235 I've been playing guitar since I was 14 years old -- that's 41 years. I wouldn't say I 'practice' a lot, but I do play a lot ...which I suppose is practice. I learned what I know from listening hard to the original records of rock 'n' rollers and by watching their fingers when I saw them live or on TV.
Dear Rock 'n' Roll Songbook. Your rendition is brilliant. Thank you for the tabs too. Interesting about how Buddy played the A chord. I've always found it easier to make a D7 shape,all on the second fret rather than the more usual 1,2,3, but I'll try Buddy's 1,3,2. As you say - switching from A to D should be quicker with practice. I was 12 or 13 when 'That'll Be The Day' was on juke boxes in Kent, UK, but I've never learned to play it. Your excellent version has inspired me to have a go. Regards from Blighty :)
Hi Ted! Thanks very much for those kind words of support. I'm really glad you've found this tutorial so useful. I wish I'd lived thought that late 1950s era like you did. All the best from Yorkshire - Jez
Love your acoustic lessons, if the spirit ever moves you towards Country no one (other then Young Love) does the Sonny James style guitar that he used so much in his recordings....a master at runs and strums on his Martin....
Great tutorial. Clear and concise as always. I love the way you put these together with tabs to follow too. Thanks for all the time and effort that you put into these. (PS.......I’m happy to take the blame for this one! 😆)
Just been having a go at this and much to my amazement I can do it……albeit VERY slowly! Maybe in about 10 years time I might get up to half of your speed 😆! Any chance of making one of your ‘play-alongs’ for this please to practise along to for the whole song………….go on………you know you want to……….it will give you an excuse to play with your new toy!!! 🎸🎶
@@kaycarley Great stuff! You'll soon build up speed I'm sure. I've been thinking about making a play-along for this one, but I'm not sure how to approach it yet -- whether to show exactly what Buddy Holly played, or demonstrate a simpler, strum-along version without a capo. In the meantime, here's a complete version you could play along with: ua-cam.com/video/yc-hEleCoSU/v-deo.html ...using this song sheet: jezquaylesongbookhome.files.wordpress.com/2021/07/thatll-be-the-day-in-a-capo-e.pdf
@@RocknRollSongbook funnily enough I was watching that video earlier this morning 😉! My vote for the play-along would be to approach it the same as Buddy Holly as this still gives the option of simply strumming the chords along with you if people want to. I don’t suppose you happen to have a print out of the tabs in this video that you could let me have?....
@@kaycarley I may create a video with the chords for both the capo version and non-capo version on the screen, so that people have a choice. There's a link to a pdf tab sheet in the video description (there may be one or two minor differences between this and the tabs in this video).
Hello Jez, i´m Andre Wolf , 60 years old, from South Germany. I´m playing the guitar by myself since 1977 without any teacher. (Sorry for my bad english) Since a few years I listen and learn from your Videos. Thanks for that!! On this Christmas I get your Songbook "The hot rockin hundred" as a present from my wife. . Its fantastic. Now I have a Question. Maybe you can show in a video, how to play the Intro from Richie Valens "La Bamba". I can play it with the chords C , F and G , but not with A , D and E.
Hello Andre, Your English is just fine, …and much better than my German! I’m really glad you’re finding my videos helpful. It’s nice to know that you received my songbook at Christmas. That’s a good idea for a short video ( the intro to La Bamba). I just need to find the time! Best wishes from England Jez 👍
Hi Jez Just brought your book and I am a new bee to guitar playing but an old one in age so love my rock and roll is there a video of the way done its in the book
Hi Bob. I haven't made a video of me That'll Be The Day with me strumming open chords, as shown in the songbook ...I will though. Thanks for prompting me. In the meantime, you can use the chord arrangement in the songbook to play along with me in this video: ua-cam.com/video/yc-hEleCoSU/v-deo.html
You're comment (which I've treated as a request) has prompted me to make this video: ua-cam.com/video/rYy5epEp-lg/v-deo.html I hope it helps. Best wishes, Jez
@@RocknRollSongbook It sounds perfect. I wonderd how you winkled out the sound.? How you decided that Make, model and woods. I am so happy with what to do and how you do it. Wonderful. Thank you for sharing your skills. I am / We are. Brilliant.
Great lesson - thank you 👍 Nice, small-bodied guitar there - what model is it please? I'm learning on a huge old thing that's very uncomfortable to play, so would like to get a smaller bodied guitar if you or anybody else can recommend something that's suitable and doesn't cost a fortune.
Thanks very much! I've had similar problems to you. I used to play a Gibson J45, which is pretty fat guitar. It started to give my shoulder problems so I traded it in for this Gibson L00. They're great little guitars, but not cheap I'm afraid (around £2000). I also often play a Taylor GS Mini, which is a fantastic small guitar, and much more affordable (from about £500). GS Minis are made in 3 different woods (spruce/mahogany/koa) and can be purely acoustic are acoustic/electric. I have a GS Mini-e (koa). I'd definitely recommend them. Here's me playing mine: ua-cam.com/video/c4t76ub0Vkw/v-deo.html These are the prices where I live in the UK, and they may be different where you live.
Hi I recommend Eastman. I have an E10 OO SS/V which looks similar to the Gibson-The E10 has Adirondack top and Mahogany back and sides.Small, loud, not tinny and all solid. They do a E20 with Rosewood back and sides too. Lots of good guitars to choose from these days. Good luck.
Thanks very much Ernie! I'm not using a pickup or amp in this video. I'm picking up the sound using the built in mic in my Panasonic camcorder. I did, however, add a little bit of reverb to my playing at the very beginning of the video (when I play the solo as a video introduction) and at the very end. I'm glad the sound comes across well. I'm playing my new Gibson L-00 ...and I LOVE it.
Thanks very much! Yes he did. You can see him using one here: ua-cam.com/video/9mDGcxbAusg/v-deo.html Without one you can get close to what he played, but it's not really possible to make the exact sounds.
Hello, great tutorial! I am challenging myself with this for sure. For now i am not using a capo(i dont have one), do you think its okay to play it without a capo while singing aswell?
Thanks very much Gregoire! I use a capo so that I can play the song in the same key as Buddy Holly played it (key of A), and because that key also suits my singing range with this song. Playing without a capo would put the song in the key of E. If that key suits your singing range, and you don't mind that you're not playing in the same key as Buddy, then go ahead. In fact, there is a recording of Buddy playing this song without a capo, but he's straining his voice to reach some of the notes. Buddy played a very similar guitar part in his recording of the song 'Ting-a-Ling', which he played without a capo: ua-cam.com/video/Who10cHcJU4/v-deo.html
@@RocknRollSongbook Thanks a lot for the answer. I guess I can learn it without a capo and if it doesnt suit my singing range Ill get a capo so I can sing along
Hello, amI wrong or if you play the first measure with your index only, you don’t have to displace it much, that’s makes it easier to “fall” on the right string to do your B7 ??
One more comment...being British when you going to give us some lessons on playing some of the British Rock and Roll on Acoustic? "It's Gonna be Alright" form Gerry and the Pacemakers would be cool....
Hi Gorden. On this channel I specialise in playing the original, 1950s rock 'n' roll, as played by those who created and pioneered this great music ...and they were all American. The music of Gerry and the Pacemakers fits more into the 1960s British pop/beat group era, as does the original music of the early Beatles, The Searchers, The Hollies, Herman's Hermits, etc. I absolutely love those bands, but their music has quite a different character. They were the 'next generation'. I know that some people, particularly in the US, use the term 'rock 'n' roll' to refer to pretty much any music played by bands with guitars from the 1950s onwards, but I find that too broad a definition to be useful. I have another channel where I play other kinds of guitar music, including a lot of 1960s stuff. If you fancy a look, here's a link: ua-cam.com/channels/orOsesE46bK_0YjPWVXiZg.html There are no 1960s lead guitar technique tutorials there as yet, but there are a few play-along tutorial videos for 1960s songs.

Thanks very much Gregoire! I use a capo so that I can play the song in the same key as Buddy Holly played it (key of A), and because that key also suits my singing range with this song. Playing without a capo would put the song in the key of E. If that key suits your singing range, and you don't mind that you're not playing in the same key as Buddy, then go ahead. In fact, there is a recording of Buddy playing this song without a capo, but he's straining his voice to reach some of the notes. Buddy played a very similar guitar part in his recording of the song 'Ting-a-Ling', which he played without a capo: ua-cam.com/video/Who10cHcJU4/v-deo.html
@@RocknRollSongbook Thanks a lot for the answer. I guess I can learn it without a capo and if it doesnt suit my singing range Ill get a capo so I can sing along
Anyone know what is the model of this Gibson guitar?

How you're doing that B7 is a mystery to me. Your pinky doesn't seem to be on the 1st fret at all. For the rest great tutorial
Thanks! I definitely use my pinky with the B7 👍
How do I get the songbook?
Got to Amazon or Lulu.com and search for ‘Jez Quayle Rock and Roll’ 😁
Hello, amI wrong or if you play the first measure with your index only, you don’t have to displace it much, that’s makes it easier to “fall” on the right string to do your B7 ??
If that works for you, then do it. 😊 There's no absolute right or wrong with fingering really ...provided you're playing the correct notes.
L00 or LG2?
It's an L00
One more comment...being British when you going to give us some lessons on playing some of the British Rock and Roll on Acoustic? "It's Gonna be Alright" form Gerry and the Pacemakers would be cool....
Hi Gorden. On this channel I specialise in playing the original, 1950s rock 'n' roll, as played by those who created and pioneered this great music ...and they were all American. The music of Gerry and the Pacemakers fits more into the 1960s British pop/beat group era, as does the original music of the early Beatles, The Searchers, The Hollies, Herman's Hermits, etc. I absolutely love those bands, but their music has quite a different character. They were the 'next generation'. I know that some people, particularly in the US, use the term 'rock 'n' roll' to refer to pretty much any music played by bands with guitars from the 1950s onwards, but I find that too broad a definition to be useful.
I have another channel where I play other kinds of guitar music, including a lot of 1960s stuff. If you fancy a look, here's a link: ua-cam.com/channels/orOsesE46bK_0YjPWVXiZg.html
There are no 1960s lead guitar technique tutorials there as yet, but there are a few play-along tutorial videos for 1960s songs.
