Guitar Lesson Overview
Here is how I play the intro to this Chuck Berry song Johnny B Goode. This style of guitar playing has lots of sliding notes. I also show a typical Chuck Berry guitar lick at the end of the video. Back To The Future!
Please note: this my version of this song - it is not exactly how Chuck played it.

Hi Michael, no sorry I don't have the complete thing. I was just showing one way to play the intro part.
I use my own backing tracks - I am working on a whole new batch of simple backing tracks, which will be for sale on this site in the future.
Do you have the complete Johnny B Goode? What do you use for backing tracks for your blues lessons?
You are great player. Thanks for helping many closet players like myself.
Someone commented that the great thing is how easy you make it look. I think that's the worst thing. I hate that. After spending a month trying to learn the opening to House of the Rising Sun a few decades ago, I decided to become an engineer.

Comment added on September 03, 2008What stuns me is how much control you have over your instrument! Like every great guitar player should, you make this stuff look easy, and the way you break it down makes it at least manageable for me. Thanks for the great lesson!

Comment added on April 09, 2008I think this is the intro to"Roll Over Beethovin," yet another great Chuck Berry song.Great lessons!Thanks!
Comment added on February 26, 2008This was a awesome lesson. I am so impressed at your teaching method, but also your skill. I can only hope to play it as good one day ;). Please keep the videos coming, and would love to see if you have any lessons on "Money for Nothing" from Dire Straits. That's another rocking riff.
Comment added on February 05, 2008Thanks all the great lessons, I thinny nk you really enjoy teaching and you explain concepts well. Thats a pretty unique strat-style guitar in the Johnny B Goode video! It looks like it has a set neck. Too bad we couldn't see the rest of the guitar in the video. Thanks again for the awesome web-site and lessons. -Johnny Humbucker
Comment added on February 05, 2008Gene, that is great to hear! It is very inspiring to hear my videos are helpful. Thanks again.
Comment added on January 23, 2008This is my first time on your website but I discovered your video on YouTube of instructions on playing the intro to Johnny B Good and I am so pleased to tell you that I followed your instructions for about 4 or 5 replays and now I can play this great tune after practicing a few times. To me, this tune is one of if not the best guitar tunes of all times. Chuck Berry was one of my all time favorite guitarists.
Thank you so much for a great instructional video. Now I want to learn how to play the lead break on this song. Keep those good videos coming.
