How to Play 'Twenty Flight Rock' - 1950s Rock 'n' Roll/Rockabilly Guitar Tutorial - Jez Quayle

Музыка

In this tutorial I teach how to play Eddie Cochran's classic rock 'n' roll/rockabilly song, 'Twenty Flight Rock', in the key of A (written by Ned Fairchild and Eddie Cochran).
The version of the song I play and teach here is based on Eddie Cochran's 1956 recording.
A song sheet containing the lyrics and chords can be viewed or downloaded from my songbook blog here: jezquaylesongbookhome.files.w...
In this tutorial I refer to some of the guitar techniques I teach in my Tutorial #1, which can be viewed here: • Tutorial #1 - Acoustic...
A video of my complete, acoustic guitar version of this song (recorded in 2016) can be viewed here: • Twenty Flight Rock - E...
A video of me playing this song live with my band 'The Fast Rattlers' (in 2018) can be viewed here: • Twenty Flight Rock - E...

    The most important song in music history (otherwise Lennon and McCartney might never have played together) - and very well explained to boot. I am thrilled!

It seems that most people in our area are acting like the lockdown is over, so I'm not surprised there have been spikes in West Yorkshire. We're happily keeping ourselves to ourselves though.

    Yes, great minds think alike! 😃 I've been getting requests for tutorial videos for a few years on my rock 'n' roll channel, but always resisted until recently. It seemed too much like hard work! But I've always enjoyed teaching guitar and uke, and during this lockdown I've been teaching via Zoom instead of face-to-face. Been teaching folks around the world, including one of your countrymen -- a university professor in Seattle to whom I'm teaching punk ukulele ...it gets a little bizarre at times! "Okay, sing and strum along with me: "Anarchy for the UK! It's comin' some time, a maybe ..." Talking to a camera like that reminded me that making these videos may be a fun project. I look forward to seeing your tutorial video! All the best, Jez

    Thanx ,I'd been wondering about A or G. I like both a little more of a challenge in G. I do it as an instrumental, kind of an opening, then do the A w/vocal later in the set

    Thanks very much! When I perform this one at gigs I often tell that story about Paul playing this song to John at the Woolton Church Fete in Liverpool. I don't live too far from Liverpool, and I also know one of the Quarrymen (Rod Davis). Paul also played 'Be-Bop-a-Lula' to John. What a lot of people don't realise is that Paul borrowed a right-handed guitar to play the songs, although he's left-handed. He played the guitar upside-down rather than in the right-handed way, and so he didn't actually play the songs very well on that occasion -- not like you see in Beatles biopics. John was more impressed that Paul knew all the lyrics to the songs than by his guitar playing. Although Paul was already a much better guitarist than John.

    That's great! I've never been to Hamburg, but I'd love to visit some day. Whereabouts in the world do you live? Like you, I like to travel with an instrument (either guitar or ukulele). Here's me playing a rock 'n' roll song on my ukulele at Sun Studio in Memphis a few years ago -- standing on the spot where Elvis stood to record 'That's Alright'. It looks a bit silly, I know, but it was quite a thrill: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eoqZrNuvfb3WY5c.html
