- Lonnie Mack had a hit with this one. I can not play it as well as he did, but I did it for fun. If you like it and don't know how it is played, this will help.
My all time favorite ! . . . .
Not enough cats today that can play guitar as good as this and know this type of music
Get it man ,Yea Hell Yea
Thank you!
Nice job! One of the first guitar songs I heard when I was a kid at least 60 years ago. And I’m still playing now.
I learned it way back as well! Thank you.
when I was a kid this big bearded guy used to come to our farm and go fishing in our pond and then him and Dad would sit in the barn playing guitars , smoking doobies and drinking beer. I just knew him as Lon . I didn't even know til decades later that he was an extremely talented singer and guitarist who had played with people like Clapton and Santana and Stevie Ray Vaughn. I just thought he was some friend of Dads which I suppose he was , but I didn't know he was this pioneering blues rock musician who'd traveled the world and accomplished great things
You must be an Indiana boy as am I. Used to sit at a little tavern eating lunch there he'd be playing the dime pinball machine I used to ride by his house on the way home a back road so
So the smoke wasn't as noticable coming from my car.
Cool man never to old to rock n roll
Too young!
Now that's how that song is played. Me and my uncle used to play that and he absolutely killed it . He's passed away now and I just found this cover of you doing it and I hit my volume booster and the rest is history
Thank you Wendell. I am still trying to get this up to Lonnie Mack's level, and have been trying since it came out.
Wel played sir 😊
As a 64 year old beginner, I would legitimately give my left nut to be able to play like this. So awesome. God bless you.
Hang in there. I am 73, and was 14 when this song came out. I immediately started trying to learn it, and I'm still trying! Thank you for your comments!
64 myself. Give that sumbitch up, we don’t need both any more. Get a good instructor, your dream guitar, a decent little modeling amp, practice and have a ball
gotta practice son....gotta practice....take one bar at a time....all good
Excellent guitar player. Very nice.👏👏👏👏
You ROCK dude!
Thank you!
Спасибо за Урок!❤
Great song this was one of my favorites back in the Day good Job.
Memphis represent woooo
Classic song classic axe.
Well done Rick. God bless you.
that 's what we are talking about, nice job rick just came across your channel , love it
Thank you!
That sounded gooood!!
Hi Rick. You did a really nice job on my all time favorite song. I've been playing it since it came out. I like it so much I named my son after Lonnie Mack. Personal: I lost my guitar buddy of fifty years today. I played all evening in his honor,. Your playing did my soul good. Shalom/gw
Thank you. This is a great message to get. You made my day! I am sorry you lost your friend. Keep playing it, and so will I!
Gibson Les Paul de Luxe Gold 1972!!
COOL!!! If ya can't sing, then PLAY, BABY!!! 🎵🎵🌟🎵🎵
I think you did it just fine!
Thank you!
Great... thanks and I will take heed ...
Very best authentic sounding sir!
Thank you! I actually think I could have used a little less distortion, but I could still never play it as well as Lonnie. I used a Marshall 50 plexi into a little Microcab speaker.
@@audiocam Oh very interesting comment about playing Chuck's Berry's cover version "Memphis". Very good playing Lonnie Mack's legendary songs!👏
Super sweet, Rick. Them mini Buckers don’t get enough love
Thank you! I do love this guitar, and I bought it new in 1972.
My pleasure and that’s fawesome.
The favorite in my pile is an R4. Watched a comparison of 3 Gold tops the other day. PAF’s, P-90’s and those minis. I’ll be darned if the minis didn’t give me the biggest grin
@@orneryhombre9078 I don't know what an R4 is. Is that a Gibson production number? Mine is a 72 I bought new. My guitar hero, growing up in Atlanta, is Barry Bailey (of ARS.) Most of his playing on the ARS records is a Gold top with mini's. I think his was one of the first ones from 1969. That was what he used on that beautiful playing at the end of So Into You. I have known him since around 1965, and he was about 2 years older than I was. His playing is the best example I know of those guitars with those mini's.
Very impressed, Sir. Sadly I see we lost him way early not 2 years ago.
And beg your pardon, R4 refers to a ‘54 Les Paul reissue from Gibsons CS. Sweet as pie. I’ve a caboodle of lovely ladies but she’s what I grab more than others. I’ve an R8 as well, a ‘58 Reissue.
But you’re the real deal, Rick. I’m just a hack for the last 55 years, a few years behind you at 65
@@orneryhombre9078 Those sound like really good guitar! Yes, it was very sad to lose Barry. He had MS and was not able to play for the last 20 years of his life. I really hated that he couldn't play, I alway looked up to him as the best I ever knew. He and I grew up almost in the same neighborhood, and he could play all the Freddy King instrumentals when we were just kids!
Really cool!
Greetings from Germany ;-)
sooooo good man!
👍🇧🇪Bravo
You did that well !
muy bueno. Muchas gracias maestro.
that''s Mojo !!!
Vey nice! Great cover of a great song! Thanks!
Thank you!
GOOD JOB RICK FROM ANOTHER GUITAR PLAYER !
Thank you!
love it..great job.
Thank you!
whaaa!!!! quel son !! superbe et merci Rick pour cette video
Thank you!
Well done Rick...It's a good one to learn if my fingers can still do it..haha
Ah memories of my stolen Les Paul Deluxe 😞
What a drag! I am sorry to hear your guitar was stolen. Many years ago, I had an ES-175 stolen from me. It was a fine guitar that I had gotten when I was only 16 years old in 1966, and the guitar in question was a 1959. The Deluxe you see me playing here was bought new (by me) in 1972, and it is a great one!
Chuck Berry and Johnny Rivers did nice covers of Chuck's version.
Nice job
Fkn perfect,. Tone man ....... Perfect
Pretty cool m8!
Thank you!
Nice job Rick! I like playing this one as well.
I got the tempo just a little too fast for me to handle! I sure do love Lonnie Mack's original version.
Great
Lonnie....I had a band called the Mystics back here in Hardy, AR in the 6os and we played the heck out of your song.....love it stil....be did in in A but almost exactly like you do it. In those days I had an SG red double pick up...man we could not sing very well so we did a lot of instrumentals like scratchy....done by your bor in Memphis, walk don't run, Apache, wheels, matilda, sleepwalk, wipe out, out of limits, let there be drums, surf twist (Larry Don from Jonesboro recorded on Alley), pipeline, and others...when the British come, we started to sing more as the words and quallity did not matter any more! Great to see you do this old standard...one of the best of my life. I have a 73 Les Paul Delux I have used since the early 70s, and has the quality like yours does. Best Wishes
Thank you for your story. It sounds like we grew up around the same time and did a lot of the same stuff. For instance, I also tried to learn Travis Womack's Scratchy. I was born in 1950, and got an electric guitar in 1963, a Les Paul Jr. I wish I still had it. My 73 Deluxe is probably a lot like yours, and I bought it new. My earliest influences was all the stuff you mentioned, and Freddie King's instrumental album. In addition to wanting to be like the Beatles once they came out, I wanted to be like Steve Cropper. These days, I am in a surf band. We are all old guys, and call ourselves the Flying Saucers. So, at 74, I am having more fun than ever!! Best wishes to you!!
mentioning the Beatles...I have a long story to tell...that I have told many times..about 4 of us here who got to meet them during their stay at the Pigman Ranch in nearby Alton, Mo., in September 64. Yep, I like the name you have..fitting for us old guys who grew up watching the 50s movies about Invaders from Mars, The Day the Earth Stood Still, the Blob and others. Those were wonderful days.
@@edwiles5258 Would love to hear about meeting Beatles! 64? Not 65? I was in a battle of the bands in 65 in Atlanta when the Beatles played here. The winner got to play on stage before they played. It was not us, but it was a friend of mine's band.
Great Rick!! You are so talented.. Your friend, Randy#9
Thank you kindly!
I hope we have one more reunion!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
👍👍👍👍👍🤙😇
Lonnie played it on a steel guitar. Rick is awesome.
Actually, Lonnie played it on a Flying Vee. I can't play it as well as he did, but I have been trying since it came out.
No, he didn't. He was playing at his Flying Vee at the end of a girl group's session. There were 20 minutes left so he let it rip with "Memphis".
@@harvey1954 Thank you, I didn't know that bit. He was a Memphis based session player at that time? I guess I was unaware of the history, but I know how it absolutely grabbed the 14 year old me when it came out. His record is an amazing and inspiring performance!
@@audiocamuh idk about the Harvey persons thing but I know that Lonnie had played memphis for the guy for fraternity and he liked it so much he asked him if he wanted to record it and he did and it was probably that guys best decision as fraternities number one hit was Memphis
Guess what: You're playin' it pretty good though.....
Rick, it would be great if you'd post an actual how-to lesson for this song. It's kind of hard for a novice like me to figure out what you're doing on that fret board.
Steve, I don't really have time to do that, and I am not playing note for note what Lonnie played on the solo part. I think you could google a better instructional video, and I am going to look for one.
I found an instructional video. ua-cam.com/video/tqwNoTIe9jE/v-deo.html
Sorry Sir: you didn't play Chuck Berry's Memphis Tenessee song. Whose version is this one ?
No, I never said I did! This instrumental version is by Lonnie Mack. It came out in 1964 and I have been trying to play it as well as he did ever since, but his is way better. You should check it out!
@@audiocam I got you & I apologize for what I wrote. Keep the good music roll.
@@nidranrebreski2828 Thank you! I actually learned this song way back when I had only had a guitar a few months, and I had just joined a little band, and I was only 14.
Thanks for sharing that Rick! Always loved it, now I can play it!
very good
I like it,
but JR's I like better.
As a matter of fact it has always been my favorite R&R song
(I'm 67)
Thank you. I'm 73. Lonnie Mack is who I am trying to copy. His instrumental version came out when I was 13 and had just gotten an electric guitar.
@@audiocam
Yes
of course I knew all that
You did a very good job
na ja...ein Ohrwurm ist es nicht!!!°
Schüler Klasse 1 kanns besser. Schnell kann jeder.
Not sure what you said.
