This guy has to be one of the most well rounded instructors on KZread. He taught me shadow play by joy division now chuck berry

No apology necessary to keep the most iconic rock and roll lick ever created in front of the masses, not only for the new players coming online that need to know how to do it right, but as a reminder to the experienced community that this lick alone is indeed the reason so many of us HAD to pick up the guitar so many years ago and never looked back!

This multi part Masterclass on such an important song deserves a MAJOR AWARD greater even than a leg lamp!

I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet... but your kids are gonna love it.

There are so many "lessons" on KZread on this one, but each has some flaws and, one way or the other, does not seem to sound right. We needed this Adrian! And now we eagerly wait for the next parts - we want it all! Thanks for spending the time to make this available

Chuck is one of the guitar players I already loved as a child, years before I started to play the guitar myself.

One of the first things I ever learnt, trouble is, clearly, I learnt it wrong! Thanks for this, seems spot on, it's darn difficult to unlearn something I've been playing for 35 years though. Love all your lessons, so clear and easy to follow, one of the top youtubers for guitar.

This sounds like the most accurate version I've seen on youtube. Thank you!

Then you haven't seen justinguitar version

I went to several other guitar instructors takes before this one was found… This is by far the most thorough lesson[s] on this iconic classic that I found! Outstanding lesson[s] here Adrian! I must admit, this is very difficult for me… I’ve been playing 10 years, but I never did go down the Chuck Berry approach portal! As you said , Chuck Berry is by far one of the greatest guitarist ever…In my mind, he was the Ming of rock ‘n’ roll! THANK YOU ADRIAN… I HAVE FOUND MY PROJECT SONG for the next good while!

Thank you, Adrian. Your lessons are by far the best, your enthusiasm and unpretentious presentational style make it an absolute pleasure to learn.

This is the best JBG tutorial on YT.

Your's is the best lesson I have seen to date and I am an old bastard that has been looking at these videos for a long time

Brilliant lesson! i ve been playing guitar for 30 years and now i m learning JGB thanks to you - never too late for this great song.

still one of the greatest guitar songs heck one of the greatest songs of all time...there is a ton of golden nuggets in this song...and almost everyone plays this wrong!!

I have enjoyed your channel and have learned so much from you as an Internet guitar teacher. When I put in my search to finally get around to learning this classic bit of guitar riffle, I immediately went to your video when the boatload of options surfaced. "Oh, Adrian's got one for that. Done". Your teaching style really works for me. Thank you for so much over these years.

Good lesson, I've been playing 30 years but learn new stuff all the time, thanks for the wide variety of material.

Adrian you are the most thorough teacher hands down .... SUPER lesson my friend , thanks a MILLION

Nice playing and probably the best comprehensive lessons for JBG on KZread. Thank you.

Agree! Adrian is a fantastic Teacher and great player! 🎸

I really like your tutorials. Most accurate I’ve seen, and I like how you explain them.

You dont understand how happy I was when I realised he did this lesson like I learned this charming man in a week off by heart by far the best

Great lesson! And YES we need the second half of the lesson to this great song!! Thank You

This is superb. I really like that you include the counts - that helps so much getting the correct timing.

So cool. And it's great to see the pleasure you take out of playing it!

This is a blues riff in B flat. Watch me for the changes and... uhh... Try and keep up.

Did you know on the film he just says b and not b flat ! And did he really have a cousin named Marvin !!! 😞 great movie though 🎸😎✌!!

You deserve 10 times as much views man. This is exactly the right methode to teach a song to other guitar players - building it up from slow to fast. Thanks a lot for this tutorial. I will subscribe. Good job!!

So fantastic, Adrian! How I wish I'd had this in 1977 when I was trying to figure it out (at age 14!)

Adrian, being new to the channel I would say you are definitely in left field. You my friend are all over the board and I love every bit of it. Every week is an adventure, love your style and will not get to nerdy just trying to play it and make it sound “cool “ like you do.

Sleep soundly tonight, young man, knowing that an old lady wore a broad grin all day, and howled with laughter when (I did my best) to play this. I don't play guitar but there's been one in the house for about a month. The last few weeks I decided..... I really should learn to play, just a little something. And sound like - Hendrix. Why not? I have a greater gift -- indeed, for inviting massive disappointment - than I do playing the guitar; nevertheless, had so much fun. thank you!

Having fun is the most important lesson. You already got that down! If you keep having fun with this one there will come a day when you are having fun AND can play it. It's all about putting in that time every day,

You are one of the best guitar teachers on KZread mate, great lesson, I've been trying to get my head around that for years, thanks.

Brilliant lesson!! Really enjoying trying to learn this one. Thanks Adrian!!

Adrian, that was great! Thanks for sharing it. You're such a good teacher.

Amazing! You're a great teacher. Thank you for the lesson!

By far the best lesson on the internet for this riff.. thanks Adrian 🙏🙏🙏

very easy to follow,you are an amazing guitar player, the best and easiest lesson on the internet, had problems before trying to follow the other instructors and finally gave up until I found your tutorial, thanks I am really working on that famous intro that you have made possible, Thanks again, very to the point no mumble jumble just great teaching technique

Thanks so much for this great lesson. The lick that changed it all. Rest in peace Chuck!

I love coming back to this one. Great job!

Excellent lesson clear, concise and not rushing too fast I had the tab for this but now I know how it should really sound thanks man!

Thanks Adrian!.....Best Johnny Be Good lesson out there, very easy to follow with no ego....love your teaching methods, you got the gift my friend

A fantastic tutorial! Thank you very much for it and for sharing the music score/tab.

Adrian, I had a bloody good laugh at myself trying to get that bended G on the 8th fret at 10:00min mark. There are a lot of tutorials on KZread but your tutorials are by a long shot, the best. Keep up the great work.

You could always do it as a slide, like Earl Hooker did in The Hucklebuck

Great job, you're an excellent guitar player! I appreciate you taking the time to explain every step!

It has been said a lot but it can't be said enough you are a great teacher, really you do it right, thank you!

Great tune to cover! What an awesome instrument too, amazing! That guitar sounds so good! Thank you!

Superb tutorial, Adrian. Thank you!

Thank you for this. There are others out there, but you are a great teacher. Love the Jazzmaster!

Thanks for being one of my fave tutors on u-tube! Clear and concise and nice persona!

Adrian I have to say you are the easiest person I subscribe to to learn songs from on you tube Most rush through and it is hard to follow but I find you are very easy to follow thank you I learnt the smiths charming man watching you

Adrian, you are the best!!! Excellent guitar lesson for Johnny B Goode. Love it!!! Thank you. I like your style .

You are so right Adrian! Going back to a song may be heard differently as we progress in our playing. Thanks!

I was nervous clicking on this. Your lessons are always accurate and I've been playing the intro for years. I was dreading finding out I had it wrong. Luckily I was playing it right. Looking forward to the rhythm and solo videos.

Just came across your channel there now and I am really impressed by how you were able to slow it down so as to make it more easier for people to play along to I will be practicing this piece until I really can get it thanks Adrian for breaking it down slowly so that people can really see and hear the notes clearly of what your playing amazing

This is a great lesson, after years of fumbling around this to actually (be nerdy) and learn to play exactly as Chuck did is great. I found the most difficult bit getting used to playing with almost all down strokes, being used to playing up/down up/down with a few rakes and a bit of cross-picking thrown in mostly. It dawned on me why it is essential to play this way to get Chuck's sound and drive - he derived a lot of his inspiration and licks from the New Orleans barrel-house piano players and that's why he played that way - there ain't no up strokes on a piano! He was playing as a piano player would.

What a beautiful guitar, and a great lesson.

Great performance at the top of the video! Great lesson!!! Thanks for posting!

great lesson adrian as always

Another great lesson playing a classic Chuck Berry song. Thank you.

Your teaching method is my favorite way to learn these guitar solos. Thanks. I’m a fan.

This is the best lesson for the famous song!! You nailed it!!!

I really appreciate this, I'm in my late 40's, never really learned more than a few basic chords. I'm pushing myself into regular practice now, having recently acquired a new well setup guitar really helps playing a lot and doesn't hurt the fingers near as much as a badly setup instrument (my other guitar, a '91 Samick strat is great but needs fretwork before I can lower the action, I'll get around to it). After a lot of practice getting it right I was finally able to follow you note for note in the slow play through at 15:05 which was a big achievement for me - it's a great addition to the tutorial to help make sure you have it all in order before speeding things up. Now to work my way up to the actual song speed before taking on part 2. Thanks!

Ha, I'm still playing a lot of songs from Adrian's fingerstyle lesson in such a slow motion that they don't even sound like the same song at first. But I gradually get faster. Doing things slowly and correctly is truly the only way to get there.

thanks Adrian !! As with all your lessons, JBG is totally well done! You have explained ALL of the notes, and timing, plus the sounds, and the guitar techniques used by CB to get the groove of this song. Even I can understand it. btw, thanks for all your lessons!!

Your skills and enthusiasm are amazing.

You really are the man. I am following all your lessons.

Never been able to do that… till you did a lesson. Thank you, Adrian.

Great concise instruction, Adrian.

Fantastic lesson, thank you!!

Simply wow we are going to spend quite some time on this thank you.

I wasn't that interested when the link was sent to me for this as so many people play this tune 'adequately' including me, I first played Johnny B Goode in bands many years ago, but actually you really do nail the detail and I'll be going through this to pin it down (at last). Thanks.

You are a great player and love how you show them so its easy to follow along

You’re a great teacher. Love the website

This is the best lesson on this familiar riff I've ever seen. Thank you so much for this. I hope one day I can finally play it.

Awesome work, man. Thank you!

😀 Thank you Adrian, the best Johnny B Goode lesson out there.

Awesome, my thanks goes out for this lesson. May the sun shine on you, your fingers stay flexible and you play with enjoyment as you age. It's an issue for me but I;m thankful for this lesson.

Just beautiful, can wait for parts II and III.

Fantastic tutorial. Thank you.

You sir have earned a subscription. Thanks and look forward to more.

Great lesson, you're wonderful!🎸🤘🥃

Your the best teacher on you tube thanks for finally doing this iconic guitar riff.

you are a great teacher thanks!

Thanks Adrian, Happy New Year 2020. All the very Best. You truly are a fine player and teacher 😎 from Sydney Australia 🎼

Of all the lessons I tried on KZread, this is the one where I finally got it. I love the way he explains it. I have all the notes down, trouble is developing the speed. Thats gonna take weeks 😂

Wow been trying trying to play this all week cheers

It's Adrian Chuck Berry..Gr8 teaching man..broken down well so we can read and learn it..I will come back to this and work on it..me from the 1950's ..raised on Chuck lol.. gotta have it..Thanks m8..you're good at what you do...

This is the best lesson of this!

This is one of the very best tuitions and believe me I have worked my way through loads of them. I am struggling a bit with the very last bit but it will come. Listening to Chuck's record it is so fast that I wonder if they speeded it up. Thanks fkor the help.

your lessons rock Adrian, thanks

Nice Work!

Awesome session !!!!! Congrats from Brasil !!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✌😎✌

Excellent!

Whoa! Love this channel.

I think I'm finally going to tackle this one. I laughed to realize that the first 17-minute lesson covers just the first 17 seconds of the song.
