It wasn't until the late 90's that this riff was conquered....as so many tab books had it written incorrectly, with KZfaq the community put it's ideas on how it was played together and eventually it was cracked - absolutely great tutorial :)

@@IndianNuclear1 you just jacked my swag comment about the bass line in that song. The vocals are what most ppl focus in on, the guitar riff is iconic and so are the drums in the intro. Everyone knows it whether theyre a musician or not, but I invite anyone to isolate the bass track to learn the extra special ingredient that makes the whole song move

very interesting lesson. I liked your suggestion about slopping in other notes on the 10th fret, as well as the open string for double tracking. Those are great and I can never be reminded too much about them as useful tools for the toolbox I think you're missing one thing. What i am hearing are the first three notes (the low C) are not swung, but played straight. At least with the guitar panned left (the one panned right has a lot of variations). This gives it that Chuck berry feel over and over and over again, which I find very very cool

Now you can bar the C chord at the fifth fret and reach all the tasty notes to make it swing. Also gives you access to the high notes for those signature 'deet deedee' moments. Sure, now you've got to move the main riff, but it's well worth a try x
