I'm not sure I'd call Berry a virtuoso. I prefer rock and roll when it's a bit more basic, and here's someone else I like from later in the 1950s.

Interested in what you think of this bloke:



He has made a lot of "in the style of" videos, many of them Dire Straits, here is another good one, all about the solo at the halfway mark:



But he does others, too:



The vocal impressions and phrasings are as good as the guitar interpretations, in my opinion.

I'd love to know what you (and others) think. He hasn't quite got the subscriber numbers I think his talent deserve, and he reinterprets a few of the songs posted in this thread so I thought I would spread the word a bit.

Would be nice to find a clip of him playing "Unchained Melody".

He invented a unique way of guitar playing which involved barre chords and constant downstrokes.

https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/l

From the article.

Only a few people can credibly claim to have invented an entire style of guitar playing. Chuck Berry with rock and roll lead guitar, Dick Dale for surf rock, and Tony Iommi with heavy metal make up a relatively short list. But one person has to be included on that legendary list, too: Johnny Ramone.

Clever, probably took him an age to do.

Sorry to kill your thread before it really gets going mate, but it ends here!



Agreed, it ends with Prince and this.

The story is great. The ultimate guitarist Eric Clapton was doing the choreography and of course there was practice run throughs. Prince refused to take part. It’ll be ok. Don’t worry about it was his line. They had no idea what was he was going to do and you can see that in their faces.

He just blew it away. Out of the park. Thank you and goodnight. Boom!

Not a fan of Prince’s stuff tbh, but omg what a genius he was. RIP.

Hard not to do anything but chill to this. Great band, Ralps and Burrell (Bass) on guitar. Enjoy.
