Saw Chuck Berry in St Louis in 2015 in the Duck Room at Blueberry Hill. Very small venue. Seated at the stage .. even set our beers on the stage. He was definitely not in his prime in 2014 but it didn't matter, the guy is one of the great legendary guitarists of all time. He even joked that he had to do the duck walk early in the set cause otherwise he wouldn't be able to get up afterwards. It was such a thrill to see him so up close, I'll never forget it. Thanks David.

Who hasn't stolen his lead and rhythm licks, a true legend. Definitely doesn't get the credit he deserves. Great lesson. Keep it up Mr.Brewster.

On a Chuck Berry riffs learning roll right now. Thanks David!

I agree,chuck was and is the king of rock and roll.

THE KING!...TY Dave.

Chuck's influence is just sitting at the beginning waving to all of us

This type of lessons are for me very motivating. Thank you very much, David ! Best regards, Jeef / The Netherlands ( Europe )

Total influence on Rock N Roll...a true legend.

All hail Chuck!

Great vid thanks👍

And Angus took the double stops and made them even better 👍 Great video, respect to "father rock" 😊

Thanks for this post...sweet as

Chuck lived about 20 miles from me. I always wanted to go by and ask him if he wanted to go fishing. LOL

Thanks for the lesson!

Always dig the slip-n-slide licks

great lesson/video...yet again...Chuck = legend....!!....and all you said about him is spot on.....the only regret i have is, that the radio stations back in the late 50 didn't play him here in germany often enough...guess it was just too wild....!!...;-) and i still love playing his signature licks.....as obviously do you....

Now for something completely different!!!!! Chuck Berry!!!! Thanks, David!

Amen! You are 100% correct about Chuck Berry being the true King Of Rock and Roll. I have admired and idolized the man all my life. He was a fantastic guitar player, but in addition to this a supremely talented songwriter and singer. To this day, there is NOBODY who comes close to him in terms of his enormous talent and influence. He was a complicated man in many ways, but nothing can take away from his musical greatness.

Brewster that is a nice Les Paul.Its wendsday and I am purchasing my 3rd one to day mood out. Brass tail piece makes all the difference in tone

Great lesson

Love your late night lessons! Thanks for making it interesting!

Had to come back to this epp again. EVERY guitar great to owes there life style to I AM , CHUCK!

Hey Dave, so cool man , just love the lesson's !! C. Berry , Yea , pretty much king of rock with electric guitar . And he could play like ringing a bell. Thanks Dave .🎸😎🌴

Pretty much the rock guitar archetype 👍🎸⚡

You got me thinking about Johnny Winter now! 🤙

Thank goodness for Marty McFly

Dude... I have learned so much from you... As an old bass player. I am aproaching being a shitty guitar player 😜. There is so much to know.. And applying it to trying to write songs is no small feat. Im still waiting for the chords of david brewster...

Johnny B Goode, still the greatest rock n roll record

Excellent!! Great lesson as always bro, I agree Chuck was the king of rock and roll, So many good tunes and such a grooving driving player, I used to jam Chuck tunes with a band yrs. ago and I remember our drummer had a tough time keeping up!

That first clip was from Don cushner rock concert. Host was the guy from David letterman show.

Love your stuff David!! I think, though, it's time for some Glen Tipton!!! PLEASE!!

cool Hendrix shirt

Everybody has been recycling licks.from the King for decade's. It's all in the tone of it.

Elvis Presley was a GREAT Singer ..Chuck Berry was the King of Rock N Roll .

Sending appreciation for this comprehensive how-to lesson. LNL work better than most because of the relaxed approach you bring to these licks. Nice blue lava lamp too. Hadn't realized previously that double stops seem to require only downstrokes with the pick.

Cool lesson as usual. Always thought Hendrix's cover of Johnny B. Goode from Berkeley was a nice example. Earl King is another guy that Jimi and Stevie Ray dug.

Big fan of this channel, as an FYI the levels on this lesson are all over the place. Voice 5, Dave Guitar 10, Chuck Guitar 2. No hate messages please. Sent with love

Perfect timing for me. I am just getting caught up to the 50's! btw...Dude, you are the best.😏🤣😎

I thought CC Deville took all Chuck Berry licks and gave it a new facelift with the made 80's glam rock riffs and licks. If late night lessons makes a CC Deville Solo licks lesson you will hear a lot of Chuck Berry licks and Randy Rhoads scalar sequencing at the same time. CC Deville lesson and Jerry Garcia 1974 live at winterland lesson used Chuck Berry licks for the uptempo songs with his Garcia scalar sequencing

If only you were there to explain it to Keith Richards so Chuck wouldn't have had to get upset with him.

Another great session!! How about a lesson on Cliff Gallup?

This was a good one. Double stops are excellent for adding those extra notes and harmonics. If I could recommend lessons from two other guys from that era with cool licks it would be Eddie Cochran, and Cliff Gallup from Gene Vincent's band. Along with Hank Marvin from The Shadows and Scotty Moore from the Elvis Presley Band, they were also very influential. But Chuck Berry... wow. He, then later Hendrix and Van Halen completely changed the way the instrument was approached and they inspired millions to play guitar.

The thumbnail looks more like Marvin Berry’s guitar.

What about 3 David Brewster licks from 2021?

love this series man.what about some Tony T S McPhee - The Groundhogs licks :)

Love this one and now wonder what took you so long to do this one. 😎 Chuck is the godfather of rock 'n' roll for very good reasons! He just rocked and had fun doing it, the very spirit of rock music was definitely established within his approach to doing the songs, I'd dare say.

nobody talks about his lyrics.....He wrote great lyrics

I'm always surprised Little Richard isn't mentioned in the "King of Rock n Roll" conversation.

Should do a marty mcfly lick video 😁 even tho its not him. Killer licks in bttf version of johnny b good

👍

Dave have you done any licks from Hear t?

To be Adult about Chuck and Jimi's styles , one is Cocaine Blues and one is Lsd Blues .

Beautiful carve on your black Standard... Also what is that flickering amp on your lower left and what wuz today's signal chain (?) Thanx in advance & Cheerios

Brewster have you ever done a comparison of holly and berry styles, Holly was a major loss At his time both to the fans and to the record company's.

Chuck Berry is and was always king. Elvis didn't even write or own any of his music. Elvis crashed when an lost control of his life when he found out it was all fake.

What about his cousin Marvin Berry?

Any truth that Chuck used .008 gauge strings?

What about T-Bone Walker?

how bout 3 from johnney guitar watson?

🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁

Chuck AND little Richard are the Kings of Rock and Roll. Elvis was more like a pop star. Alright B🐓!

Dude what is in your tone chain

Johnny B. Good had nothing on Chuck Berry.

That first clip was from Don cushner rock concert. Host was the guy from David letterman show.
