Best Rockabilly Guitar Riffs of 1956!
Vložit

- Carl Perkins, Cliff Gallup and Grady Martin laid down these iconic opening riffs in 1956. I feel that year was possibly the pinnacle of Rockabilly Guitar, and whilst Scotty Moore will always deserve a mention, his most popular work was already well and truly circulating so I left him out of this mini compilation / lesson! These three players influenced the likes of Brian Setzer, Danny Gatton, Jeff Beck and countless others, so it's always good to look at what they did.

What amazes me is the fact that the music played back in the 50s is being played overseas! We need more of this style of music in America.
Yeah it’s funny how it goes that way, even back in the day the blues artists seem to get so much more acclaim in Europe than they did in their homeland!
Thanks Adrian, the tone I'm digging is likely the result of the jazz pick. I've got a few I'm going to check it out. Thanks, my friend.
How’s your tone journey going mate?
Thanks, man! Great stuff! It helps me understand better the way they thought!
Buddy Holly recorded,”Rock Around With Ollie Vee,” in 1956.
An amazing upload. Thank you for sharing these great riffs.
Greetings,
David
Cheers David, very nice of you to comment! I’ll have to have a look at your channel given your title!
Honey don't! I'm a 63 yr old picked up guitar again during pandemic...just tuned in to your Matchbox tutorial...how did I miss Carl Perkins guitar growing up in 70s...for shame!

Very nice!

I’ve said it before, but man does that tele look and sound amazing! As for other riffs, I’ve always loved that guitar riff/lick that loops throughout The Fool by Sanford Clark. Great video Adrian
Cheers Austin! Yeah I’m really happy with that guitar, teles just sit in that sweet upper mid area, you just can’t help twang on them! Checkout mick brierley pickups as well, an Aussie guy wound those pickups!
@@AdrianWhyte oooooo I enjoy new pickups. will do!
Johnny Burnette! Great sound! Thanks for the lesson!
Glad you’re enjoying it Eli, thanks heaps for taking the time to comment!
Lonesome train is great ....check out the version by the pirates with Mick green on guitar
Cool concept for a video!
‘Race With the Devil’ - classic
hello from Hollywood Joe
Hey Adrian! Great video and lesson! Any of those could be a favorite on any given day. On this day, I’m feeling “Honey Don’t” the most! Hard to imagine that as a B-side it’s so good! Saw Lee Rocker and his band perform that tune in their set back in 2016, so good! 🤠
Cheers Cc! That would have been really cool, he’s got that thick voice that would sound great belting out that one! Yeah I could have gone with Blue Suede but I couldn’t resist, it had the evil sound like the other two!
@@AdrianWhyte - I’ve only seen Lee and his band 3 times, but they blew me away each time! Buzz Campbell is a great guitar player too!
Lonesome train is my favourite. Tjeyre all great.
Great Intros and for me the right lesson. I Love the old school thinks 🎸🎼😎😎☕☕☕☕☕☕☕
It’s good stuff isn’t it! What coffee are you drinking today my friend?
@@AdrianWhyte Black Coffee in the Morning Sometimes a little bit sugar but First Thing i do in the Morning give my Tele a big Hugh and then a kiss for my Queen. Can you understand me???? I dont use a translater and i Work on my English. Wish you all best Buddy.☕☕☕
I can dig it !
vielen Dank👍🇩🇪
the best rockabilly song from 1956, Ubangi Stomp by Warren Smith! How about a lesson on that one?
I’ll have to cover Warren Smith because that’s two people who’ve raised him lately! I do like the solo from that song and would definitely consider doing that!
Lonesome train its played by Paul Burlison on guitar...from JB trio...😎
My favorite is the lonesome train intro.
Great choice Ed!
Hi Adrian, love your vids, I learn so much its incredible. Would mind telling me what gauge strings your using. They sound kind of heavy. Thanks again, Ric . . .
Hey Ric, I mainly use 10-46, I have also used 11-50. I would say though more of the thickness comes from the jazz 3 pick! Hope that helps!
like em all great sound vibe ,the lonesome train chord changes woul be a good thing to post adrian if you were to do a video ,after the vamp on the g bflat notes ? ,.
Hey Paul, I have a full tutorial on that one where I show every note in the song from start to finish, I also discuss the chord changes and you can get the full note for not transcription on my Patreon with the chords labeled above if I remember correctly, let me know if you can’t find the video!
... great! I know all those riffs, but I'm not able to play them... :o/
Let me know if you’d like the tabs, happy to send you them!
@@AdrianWhyte yes, thanks a lot, it would be useful, but... my main problem is... small hands, short fingers, playing guitar has always been so difficult!
What type of pick is that in the video, I always have a hard time keeping the pick in place. Thanks
Hi Albert, it’s a black mountain pick! They are great! If you order one let them know you saw me playing with one!
Grady Martin, Bob Moore and co were slated to accompany Gene Vincent in the studio. When Cliff Gallup launched into Race With The Devil, Grady realised that he wouldn't be needed because Gene's band were the real deal. I think they were the only rockabilly band in that studio that weren't replaced by Grady's A Team.
Isn’t that crazy? I had heard this but forgot all about it! “Take the day off boys” is what the house engineer must have said to Grady and co.. what an era. I really thought the musicianship was reaching a peak for the period!
Per interview (youtube) with producer Ken Nelson, no such thing. (paraphrase) "With an unproven singer, we never would have invested in paying top studio musicians".
@@jlewand Grady Martin, Bob Moore etc appeared on large numbers of rockabilly recordings by unproven singers that never made it beyond regional interest. Many of the recordings weren't even local hits.
Those top studio musicians were the house band and they were on nearly everything that came out of that studio, day in day out.
czcams.com/video/vuGMHrTKWDk/video.html
5 minutes in Nelson explicitly states that for Vincent, he did not hire studio musicians.
Not true ,do some research, with no disrespect to you
Like deployed 👍
😎🎙🎸✅️
Nice lesson, Lonesome Train intro is best of the best. I mean, if you want to torture somebody play that intro then stop. Repeat
I visualised that, and you’re right- it would be pretty mean- meaner to someone who knows the song!! I agree, love that intro and guitar tone! Thanks man!
Honey don't very cool
It’s a good tune, E to C, who would have thought of that?!!
Let’s talk please
?? Sure!!
Nice work!how this bad boy? Cajun by Bad Boy Roy w/ The Tele Toy! czcams.com/video/1KenlfJ5sM4/video.html

Or ... 'ear me now ! England
Is a bitch Mon, me reckon any James in Flames Burton, when he's slinging for Ricky,Hello Mary Lou is epic! Where's that Aussie Wünderkind Bass Man Nowadays? With a Prosper from Tazzy Triple slapped out ? Gorbioired of a mean ,republican alky boss? Went back to Wulla Wulla up in the big muddy ? Hire him Jackson! Super Slap McGhee ! Nice work!TY
Cheers mate! Will check out that track you mentioned!
You talk too much & play very little.
Well, I’m kinda ok with hearing you say that because if someone said they’d rather hear me talk more than play, I’d be mortified! 😨
