Terrific job! I think you got everything right except for the last 3 chords. I believe he starts on an 8th fret C MAJ7(C,B,E G) then plays an Fm7b5 (F,B,Eb,Ab) and then the C6 (C,G,E,A). The key here is the B string moving up one half step every time. (Of course I could be wrong. I missed out that high G7 on the 10th fret to the regular G7 bar chord 3rd fret that you showed because I didn't get to see the como video only Dick Clark and they hardly show what Johnny is playing on both videos. Plus he's way too low in the mix. ua-cam.com/video/WUXtZTB9OCQ/v-deo.htmlsi=tManhdAHdtCvIrPx
Omg thank you so much, I'm trying to learn this for mothers day for my mom as she requested it and this is the easiest tutorial/lesson I've found so far. Thank you!

I love this song and it’s seems way too advanced for me at this time, but I admire your teaching skills. Thank you! Coming back to this one soon hopefully.
One of my favorite songs. It's probably way to simple for you but I learned a lot from your video and you confirmed the chords for me. I like your explanations of the theory. There are probably a lot of versions of this song. I've studied the Tom Conlon and Damian Bacci versions on UA-cam. These have a few nice jazz chords to spice them up and the Damian version is quite different and even more jazzy but retains the original flavor. Thank you so much for posting. I subscribed to your channel because of these songs. I am a guitar player of about 50 years although I could not practice much before I retired from engineering! Engineering and music are my main interests. They both require complete immersion to develop competency.
thank you, just started guitar lessons 2 weeks ago, but i wanted something fun to practice besides just open chords and finger exercises...so i sound awful, but i am having so much fun playing this song, you explained it really well even for someone starting from scratch
Thank you. I've watched a number of videos on this that shown me slightly different little things that helped me make more sense of it. When you explained Santo's part playing the G to Bb on the 2nd/3rd strings before the verse starts again was the one part I was really missing. Im also playing a maple neck sunburst strat!
I've been wanting to learn this instrumental music for a while now, and then I found your instructional video..needless to say, you have a new subscriber in me. Thank you so, so much.
Awesome video, I like your vibe. One note: the high slide part is played by putting the slide on the third fret and doing an artificial harmonic in the 15th.
Great tutorial on this classic song. “I cheesed out and played it an octive lower” 😂😂 Pretty tough to learn but maybe worth the effort and time..Thanks!
@@kevinmbuck I appreciate you explaining how each chord is played in depth, comparing different versions of the song to make your conclusion, you can really tell that you put effort into this video. Subscribed
I was just playing random stuff over C7 lol...looks like the first bendy blues lick is a C Minor pent mixed with Major pent (Mixodorian)...then I played some C7b9 arpeggios (C#diminshed7th) then I played a whole tone sounding thing (C9b5b13)...but was just explaining that it is C7 chord, and you can play any Dominant Seventh licks that you want there etc.
You could look at it a few ways...maybe an easy way to think of it is just as a G Major Pentatonic Scale melody...(over the g7 it gives the sound of a G13 arpeggio...when the C major chord,l sounds, it gives the sound of an implied C major 7 chord.)
Thank you for the tutorial. I wish I could understand all of that 😪 music theory. Who do recommend on UA-cam that teaches music theory? Especially for a beginner like me.
you are welcome...Idk maybe Rick Beato has some vids if you can find one for beginners...I recommend this book...www.thriftbooks.com/w/guitar-in-theory-and-practice_kevin-m-buck/13497771/all-editions/
I like your style. Your my friend now. I know,, sounds creepy eh? You remind me of one of my guitar instructors I hired back in the early 90's to teach in my music store that's all. Good work in your conversational instruction without trying to set the world on fire with flying fingers. Gave it a like.
GREAT explanation about whether it's F or F minor. that seems to be what teachers are yelling about and disagreeing about! I'M HITTING SUBSCRIBE! any chance someone could just ask them ...if they're alive?
You’re not playing the lead refs. This is just all rhythm. That’s why I’ve become a finger style guitarist. I got sick of read them all the time. I put some pizzazz into my music. I’ve been playing finger style guitar for damn near 50 years I love it that’s the easiest way to ever play this song. But it sounds pretty cool anyway.😎😁🎸
I played in this one band' the lead singer..... front man would talk and talk.... ramble on 5/6 minutes in-between songs' the audience would get irritated/bored.... the rest of the band would do the same.... me.... I'd get irritated and pissed off so I'd start playing theme songs from tv shows' Green Acres/Bonanza, etc and such.... the rest of the band would join in.... the audience would livin up and he'd just stand there sulking....all the sudden I'd kick off a song trying to force him into shutting up and just sing the song.... it'd catch him off guard and most of the times he'd come in late with his vocals. On fill ins and lead breaks I'd sneak in/blend in small parts of theme songs' finally one night.... I guess I'd embarrassed him enough and on a lead break he looks over at me and says.... I'm tired of your BS, after the night' YOU'RE OUTTA HERE. I didn't see or talk to him 10 years after that until all the sudden he calls me up and says Let's let by gones be gone' What do you think about getting the band back together and playing some' So I said yeah' that'd be good to get to see everybody again...Ok Saturday night it is. About 15 minutes before I was getting ready to leave and we were to get together, His wife calls me up and says.... Rustys gone, so I'm thinking he's gone out to grab some beer and he'd be back in a minute or so.... so I said that's fine' tell him I'll see him in a bit' She says' no he's gone for good' He fell and hit his head and died last night. Anyways we were on good terms when he passed.
This deserves more attention. Walked us through every detail . Thank you 🤟🏻
You are very welcome!

Theres a ZILLION of guys and "channels" and Videos/Tutorials of this Song/Music, BUT you....Are and Have the BEST TUTORIAL .
Jeff Beck interpretation on that turnaround is G6 moving chromatically up to B flat 6 and back down.
Omg thank you so much, I'm trying to learn this for mothers day for my mom as she requested it and this is the easiest tutorial/lesson I've found so far. Thank you!
You are welcome...I hope your Mom enjoys watching you play it... thank you for commenting.
Thank you !!! I've been trying to learn this song for awhile and finally got it down. Your teaching style made it a piece of cake. 🤟🏽🙏🏽
Not just the tabs, but a real in-depth explanation. Thanks for the time you took on this.
This looks familiar.... LOL!!!. Great lesson dude.
thank you
Well done on the tutorial. Love how you explain some theory around the phrasings and chords. Well done.
Listen to Danny Gatton’s and Larry Carlton’s versions of Sleep Walk they each did a great job covering this tune!

CMAJ7, (C-B-E-G) then he plays an Fm7b5, (F-B-Eb-Ab), then finally the C6 (C-G-E-A)

My thoughts exactly

Excellent, I am glad you enjoyed it! Good luck with playing! Thank you very much, have fun and take care.
Man what an insightful detailed and easy lesson. I've watch a 100,, the best by far

Great analysis and in-depth tutorial bro!👏👏
Awesome video, I like your vibe. One note: the high slide part is played by putting the slide on the third fret and doing an artificial harmonic in the 15th.
One of the better instructional videos I've seen. Thanks. :)
The high “ slide” part is just walking through the notes of a C maj 7
Excellent, cheers from Canadà.....
really good tuition kevin, 🤔😀😎👍
25:44
Just found this video
Great teaching easy to digest
Great tutorial on this classic song. “I cheesed out and played it an octive lower” 😂😂 Pretty tough to learn but maybe worth the effort and time..Thanks!
Thank you sensei !
A good lesson, Kevin M Buck. I am having fun.
This is a great tutorial! Thank you
u are welcome, thanks for the comment.

What type of scale are you playing out of for that first lick you said you could add in over the (C7) chord at 31:18
I was just playing random stuff over C7 lol...looks like the first bendy blues lick is a C Minor pent mixed with Major pent (Mixodorian)...then I played some C7b9 arpeggios (C#diminshed7th) then I played a whole tone sounding thing (C9b5b13)...but was just explaining that it is C7 chord, and you can play any Dominant Seventh licks that you want there etc.
Johnny ends with those 3 “C6” variations but the second one has a dominant “E” note..
Very very good job, pal!
Very cool
Do you have access to some backing tracks of Santo and Johnny’s music?
no, I have never found anything really accurate.
What is the really high part called? I have been searching it up for ages. I can by the way not play the guitar.
You could look at it a few ways...maybe an easy way to think of it is just as a G Major Pentatonic Scale melody...(over the g7 it gives the sound of a G13 arpeggio...when the C major chord,l sounds, it gives the sound of an implied C major 7 chord.)
Nice chording Kat
Thanks for vid, u have a lot of personality too, enjoyed!
Ritchieeeeeeee
Great lesson btw, you explain rlly good
Thanks kev

Is this tuned down to e flat?
I'm not sure, I can't remember lol
probably standard, or I tuned it to that video I'm playing along with
Great job! But way over my head. I'll come back when I reach this level.
Thank you for the tutorial.

Not creepy my friend. Thank you very much!
Thank you. Explained everything very clear👍🏼

No, sadly I never did.
Very nice.
Bro gives you. History lesson too W video
Good Job!
Try a Larry Carlton version!
Why stretch it out so long ? I just want the notes the style will be mine 😮
thank you so much
helpful thank you
GREAT explanation about whether it's F or F minor. that seems to be what teachers are yelling about and disagreeing about! I'M HITTING SUBSCRIBE! any chance someone could just ask them ...if they're alive?
Great video! But yeah less theory I just wanna learn the song don’t necessarily need to know the theory behind it lol
Change your weeding ring with a slider ...
Eddie Cochran died in 1960 this song came out in 1959
Sorry for the misinformation. Thank you for the correction.
You are so wrong. Secont chord is Amaj , next is Fmin. This is through the enrire song. Intro into chorus is C,Fm,C,C7,,,,,.
Would have been better without the background track.
I don't think we need to know the whole rock history
You’re not playing the lead refs. This is just all rhythm. That’s why I’ve become a finger style guitarist. I got sick of read them all the time. I put some pizzazz into my music.

Hablas mucho compa.
Your not the best looking guy either, they came up with a great song and you are the critic lol,
I was just trying to say it doesnt matter what you look like a great song is a great song. Sorry if I came across rude there.
Jesus Christ died for you so live for him

sorry, but this has been the most dreary boring tedious so called lesson on sleepwalk i have ever seen.
The non-beginner lesson for "Sleep Walk.
To much theory and slain'n and not enough song
Just want to learn the song. Not why the song is.
