It’s amazing that 11 months ago you were the only one teaching this song. Now there’s about 9 teaching this song. I still think yours was & still the best tutorial. Easy to follow & well explained.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I actually learned more than I was looking for. That's always fantastic!!! For example I never knew about blues often starting on an augmented or fifth chord. I will now be looking out for that! Thanks!!
really nice job of breaking this down with put here fingers here accompanied with good explanation of enough theory for us to understand how the song fits into practice drills on pentatonic and cord construction

Hi, great tutor, great tutoring technic. I always wanted to learn this on and picked it up in few hours thanks to your great close ups and slow playing. Keep it up,
Great lesson on my favorite Chuck Berry song,thanks-now I see where John Lennon picked up the opening riff for "Revolution" did everyone catch it!,listen on the solo!
Hi, I have a question at time 3:22 , you mention G Minor, curious why G Minor is used when the key of the song is in G Major or am I missing something in the theory? Thankyou
Thanks for posting this. I've always wanted to learn to play this song and the instruction here is pretty darn good. A small quibble: (@6:30 on the vid) I think Chuck starts out the first solo playing the B, G and D strings up at the 15th fret (B string) in "F" chord formation, rather than on the E, B, and G strings in "D" formation. At least, I'm able to get it to sound more like the record like that. A slightly bigger quibble: instruction for the entire longer outro solo is missing here (apart from the closing notes). That solo differs significantly from the first one and being able to see it would have made this "how to" vid pretty much perfect. Neverthess, thanks much for a really good lesson.
Hi Heinz. I just noticed your reply to my comment from a while back. If you can track down a book/CD publication titled "Greatest Guitar Solos of All Time" by Wolf Marshall (part of the Guitar Signature Licks series published by Hal Leonard) the No Particular Place To Go outro solo is transcribed starting on page 9 and demonstrated slow and fast on the CD. I hope you find that helpful.
Love this as a learner, but i do notice in the video of Chuck, he plays the rhythm whilst the other guitarist plays the lead, then Chuck jumps in with the solo's?
Fqing awsome Tutorial, Totally clear and great explaination! I'm playing with my Classic guitar also with plackdrums.. and need some help to play with my fingers like you do in this video. Coz I cant play with fingers yet.. Its a Dream to buy and play on a Semi-Acoustic Guitar! This guy is # - G enieus, (my grammar is not so well., coz I'm Dutch)
I really think the first lick of the first solo is higher on the neck - 10th and 11th frets of 1st and 2nd string? He's also bending up on the second string while picking both strings. It's still the D-shape, but only part of it played 3 frets up. Give it a try.
A worthy effort! Thanks for posting... I've played (mostly acoustics) - so find Berry's style very demanding. It's always fast, its always "call and answer" and he delivers a precise vocal to boot! For any purists out there, I've read he favoured Gib ES350s (for early recordings) and, later, the ES355 (when it was released by Gibson in 1958). He was using "flatwounds" - not sure what they are yet? (Some kind of string - not sure which gauge). I think he did palm-mute (slightly) when the fancy took him. Questions I'd like to ask...: Whats a "double stop", please? And, does anyone know what amp he favoured? (If any... I am guessin early Marshalls maybe?) Thoughts welcome!
Thanks for the feedback, brother. Playing 2 notes at once (in the acoustic guitar world) usually means plucking two notes to form a "chord" of sorts, but I'm not sure that's what you mean in this case. (I need to look it up, I guess). Somewhere, someone will know which amps Berry favoured. Fender (on the few occasions Ive been hooked up to one) seem to have a "brighter" feel - that makes sense in terms of Berry's bright, precise playing. (He was VERY precise...I mean almost flawless - even though he mixes it up abit). Appreciate your thoughts, though. As usual, more research needed... Although researching Berry isnt that straightforward- He realised how many wished to imitate him - so jealously guarded his guitars (and you'll notice sometimes turns away from his audience, while playing live).
I already know the song and didn’t come for the lesson... solely came to look at that guitar. Damn, the color and everything, I think it’s time I look into a Gretsch 😏
They are along the top of the neck if you really need them. Plus, he calls out the fret position and he gives you the notes and the chord name. Good luck.
This was the best lesson of this song I could find. Thanks man
Great lesson sir. Clear, precise, original key, no gratuitous gab. Good speed and repeats. No showing off. Very fine instruction. Thank you.
Your still the only one on the World Wide Web that is teaching this song. Every few months I go back & redo it again. Excellent teaching.
Long live Chuck Berry!!!!! The TRUE high king of Rock and Roll.
The democratically elected president of Rock and Roll
JNagarya you suck go away plz we just having fun peace brother live and let live

This is really a great lesson : you do not only show what to play but also explain WHY ! Really a superb video !!!
I actually learned more than I was looking for. That's always fantastic!!! For example I never knew about blues often starting on an augmented or fifth chord. I will now be looking out for that! Thanks!!
Nicole, this is the kinda thing we hope subscribers get out of learning these songs. Fantastic! And thanks for the comment!

Sluggo5112 I agree with you. The outro solo is much more difficult, would be good if it were taught here also.

Really good lesson, you have helped me a lot. Good job. Top man!
Fantastic! Thanks for the comment
Excellent lesson.
Superb breakdown of this song. Many thanks. (just a tad off-putting with the Gretch fretboard position markings)
Love this as a learner, but i do notice in the video of Chuck, he plays the rhythm whilst the other guitarist plays the lead, then Chuck jumps in with the solo's?
How about doing the end solo?
Fqing awsome Tutorial, Totally clear and great explaination! I'm playing with my Classic guitar also with plackdrums.. and need some help to play with my fingers like you do in this video. Coz I cant play with fingers yet.. Its a Dream to buy and play on a Semi-Acoustic Guitar! This guy is # - G enieus, (my grammar is not so well., coz I'm Dutch)
Just got a Harley Benton Semi Acoustic (Lookalike Gretch) and its very good, I can almost play Moovin' Grovin from my Idol "Duane Eddy"
excellent lesson, i learned alot, thks
Very sweet lesson!
Awesome Lesson ! ...... Thanks !
great lesson. Bravo.
great lesson, thanks so much.
excellent lesson well done
Brilliant lesson first class
Awesome! Thank you so much.
excellent lesson my man.
This is a great lesson, but I really wish you would use a guitar that had fret makers that are easier to see.
Your good at that 😮
Cool ! Thanks a lot ... I've got to rehearse a lot now ;)

Generally speaking a double stop is the playing of 2 notes at once. Not sure what kind of amps he used. It's a good question. I am guessing fender

How chuck used to do this and bounce all over the stage duck walking and doing the splits etc I will never know , legend .
top man, love it
merci , bon professeur
*Please ending solo! Ending solo is difficult!*
DOPE, thanks
It don't hurt to have longer fingers , mine are short !
nice
This and school days are literally the same thing
Any chance of doing it in E?
Damn, I want a Gretsch!
Thanks for the tutorial! Btw you kind of remind me of Shia Lebeof lol
tanks a lot
I already know the song and didn’t come for the lesson... solely came to look at that guitar. Damn, the color and everything, I think it’s time I look into a Gretsch 😏
@maxmik2: Gretsch Electromatic 5120.
What is that guitar?
Fab
I cannot stretch my fingers that dear to the 7th !!??
Nice....alot of space in this track sometimes it's what u dont play
IT WOULD HELP IF YOU USE A GUITAR THAT HAS WHITE DOTS ON THE FRETBOARD
They are along the top of the neck if you really need them. Plus, he calls out the fret position and he gives you the notes and the chord name. Good luck.
Stop saying pinkie
Ahhhhhhhhhh
your to fast and pot a different view on the neck
you have changed you sound not interested anymore
great lesson. thanks!
