Buddy had the greatest little melodies what a guy!

Thank you very much for the straightforward lesson for this Holly classic. I really appreciate your 'to the point' style with no affectations whatsoever. I've been listening to and playing Holly songs since he was alive. He is the Alpha of rock and roll.

Great job. Buddy Holly & The Crickets, the first and best r'n'r band ever (2 electrics, bass and drums).

Man I just love this style of music! My mom was one of those flower power childs ...lol whatever it's called. Anyways born in 71 but growing up my mom would play all these tunes and more like 50's to late 60's and a wide variety, somehow I connected with Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, BB King, early Elvis and the list could go on and on, it just soothes my soul and puts me in my happy place.. so thank you for posting these. Great playing!

Wonderful. Well before my time but really getting into this.

Thanks man your style of teaching is great

This is a fantastic lesson Mr Randy.

I can't play yet and I'm knocking on a bit, but I always wanted to play this and also the high rhythm from Listen To Me. 60 year anniversary soon and he's still going strong!

Thanks for another great lesson! You're definitely the best Rockabilly teacher on KZfaq, and I m touched that you thought doing this lesson on Buddy's birthday - I ve been a fan for more than half my life now, and it wouldn't have been the same without his music.

I've been looking for this lesson and it's perfect. Dankeschön Randy.

I’m learning bass, love buddy holly though so ended up here by accident. I loved this video, watched it so many times now, you explain the chord progression so well, thank you..!!!

I have always loved this Buddy Holly song,, Thank you Randy... You're lessons never disappoint..

The best I have ever heard outside of Buddy himself. Buddy had something magical though that made strings vibrate beyond human capacity.

Deceptively simple, but the feel is everything. Your boys the Beatles aced it! Thanks!

Thanks very much, Randy. Great stuff.

Excellent...you made it simple and easy. Thanks!

That tone is so good.

You sir are the personification of perfect! You have so much talent👌👌

Great lesson...as usual anyway. Randy is by far one of the best teachers on the Internet...

You make so much enjoyment for people like myself who can’t afford lessons , I don’t know how much you realise your appreciated , Thank You so MUCH 🇦🇺🍺

Mr. Richter, I am very thankful to have found you here in KZfaq. I think, with your ways of teaching, I may be able to learn a few songs. Thank you for posting in KZfaq.

I been playing wrong for a long time. It was simpler. I always played the intro sliding my finger, but with the chords is easier and it sounds more like buddy holly record. Thanks, and very nice 50's guitar sound. Grates from Argentina

Hey Randy. I love this song and this is a fine guitar lesson,- thank you!

Thank you so much for making this video, I was able to learn this song because of this. If you're having trouble playing and singing this at the same time, there is an alternate way to play the verses that's easier

Wow, thanks. Slow enough for a novice like me to follow and understand!

i'm going learn this one

Great channel, I look forward to working on this! Thank you for what you do!

Excellent!

Straight forward . The best lesson on KZfaq. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the perfect video of a perfect song. Thanks for your channel.

thank you ,that was a great lesson, well paced and delivered,

Cool you did a lesson for rock n roll in the 50’s cool :)

Hi Randy! Thanks for this great lesson, and thanks, that you're teaching not only solos but some rhythm parts too.

THANK YOU. YOU'RE GREAT. LOVE THIS SONG. Very easy to follow your instructions.

thanks for your time

Great lesson!

I've never been so happy to hear only three chords

Thanks to you I just learned my first guitar song!

Randy, you are one cool cat! Thanks for the fabulously executed lesson. You nailed, the tone, feel, and made it easy to learn.

Very very fine lesson magnificet thanks very mouch .

Learned it in an instant. Thanks!

Thanks for the tutorial! Great song and very well explained. Thanks!

Thanks very much for your video! I first heard the Beatles sing this on Beatles For Sale and its been one of my favourite songs since!

Thanks Randy - I've been playing that wrong for too many years = got it now - thanks to your very simple tutorial.

two thumbs up. one of the best demonstrations I've seen.

Wow thank you so much for this, so much well put information in a nice 5 minute video, absolutely brilliant

Nicely done Randy..

Such an over-looked song from Buddy Holly but has to be one of his best. Great lesson and a lovely sound from that gorgeous Tele (I am biased because I've got one in the same colour!!)

Great lesson .I got it .solo very similar to Presley baby let's play house.Cheers.

Love this,, im a life long buddy holly fan, i even take every 3rd of February off work to commemorate him by attempting to drink the local bars dry 😂, nice one 👍

Very nice, thank you

Super lesson

Thank you so much for this lesson.

Thanks Love that' song

Happy birthday Buddy! :) Thank you Sir!

Excellent 👍👏👏

The Beatles improved this intro with their downward sweep thing in the first 5 seconds as much as I love Holly

well done that man...,nice

fantastic

Love this lesson , thanks for sharing your skills !!!

Gracias amigo me encantan tus lecciones, saludos from Spain.

That was fabulous!

Very. Very cool Randy . I promise it will be my first song while learning how to play the guitar. I have one that needs to be struck. Carefully. Cheers and so many thanks .

Thank u Randy for making it so easy for me to understand Mark Ramlucken Phoenix Durban South Africa.

Wow Randy you kinda look like Pete Seager. 👍👍👍 your a great guitarist!✌

Beautiful Tele.

That was a very good tutorial. Thank you very much!

Remember the great Niki Sullivan. He was a big part of this. 🙏

Very nice 👍🏼

Fantastic lesson!

Great!!

Great tutorial!

Brilliant , thanks for sharing this :)

Excelente clase!!!

From the side you look like a rock n roll Mr. Rogers.

So this is an amazing lesson for an amazing song. One thing I’m curious about is the strumming while he sings? When it goes to D it’s like a “duh duh” which I had originally thought was a slide up from d-flat to d. But that doesn’t sound right. Can anyone advise?

Would you play it tremolo style please

Love it!

Seems to be mistake at 3.25? Should be slide up from d to d on 5th fret and similarly wuth e

Nice tone. What pedal do you recommend for the slapback? Also, I couldn't tell which position you were in. Sounds too mellow for bridge of a telecaster.

Great lesson, which Fender telecaster are you playing ?

Could you tell me where you have purchased the shirt you’re wearing from?

gut gemacht, alten.

You're good 👍 😅

Gutes Tutorial

my slide is too quiet :(

Hi Randy! The tone is so good, is it just reverb or other effects?

Can u plz plz plz do a lesson on Learning the Game

brilliant bud 👍

Randy, why does no-one seem to tackle Listen to Me, especially the fantastic middle part? There is one great video by Tom Clark but it is not a tutorial. Others are on an acoustic and I don't think are fully authentic.

Are you using a tremolo?

I'm new to guitar and do you mind telling me your amp settings? Thanks

Great lesson 👍👏 bro u look like a Texas guitar slinger!!!

i don't know what any of that means :(

Randy Richter? .... he should know his scales!

7th of september is my birthday (:

surely thats not a standard A chord.... is it diminished?

What tuning is that in?

👍👍👍
