Bye Bye Chuck - The Ultimate Rocker
19 Mar 2017
Bye Bye Chuck - The Ultimate Rocker. Everything in Rock’ n’ Roll guitar belongs to this mans legacy. Every guitar player before him looked wooden. The first time I saw him live, as a kid, I realised that his electric guitar was an extension of his body and it sounded how it looked. NO ONE had done that before. He was the first to make the guitar the star and EVERYONE who wanted to play guitar followed in his style. Chuck Berry's guitar was not an Axe but was a living breathing female and he knew it. EVERYONE from Hendrix to Lennon knew it.
“I always play a little Chuck Berry song
Cos the times you rock are the times you can't go wrong”
