Frantic and groundbreaking solo by Danny Cedrone
Isn't this the coolest, but most underrated guitar solo ever, the best tutorial on YT.
Totally on point..
Honestly, add more overdrive to it and it’s pure shredding. (Not that it already isn’t shredding)
I come from Bill Haley territory. My guitar teacher as an adult was the late John Kay. He replaced Franny Beecher at the age of 20 and later played with Franny when they were in the Comets together. John said Haley tol him they had three hours to record their single. They spent 2 and 1/2 hours recording "13 Women". Producer Milt Gabler told them they had 1/2 hour to record a B-side and left the studio. Haley had no lead guitarist in the Comets, but would call in Danny Cedrone from The Esquire Boys. Cedrone had played the solo on "Rock the Joint" so Haley told him to use the same solo for the B-sdie, Rock Around the Clock. Two takes later they were done. Spliced the takes together. Ironically Haley resented Gabler making them work so long on "13 Women" that Haley never played the tune ever again. The record came out and flopped. It would take the movie "Blackboard Jungle" to turn RATC a hit. Cedrone would never realize his solo would become so famoust as he was murdered by a mobster a few weeks later.
this is first Ive heard of "murdered by a mobster,"....it wasnt an accident or heart attack like is always stated in all sources Ive found? Do you know details?
@@joejones9520 Have you read Bill Jr.'s book? It is in there. Among Haley fans it is widely known. Haley and the band had warned him to stir clear of the mobsters, but he continued to collect the nickels from the mob owner jukeboxes. Evidently they thought he was skimming off the top.
@@joejones9520 It's always been listed as a fall. He didn't die at first. Took a day or two.
@@harvey1954 Damn!
@@joejones9520 I read he fell down stairs at his home and broke his neck
Being a big fan of Steve Howe and a guitarist myself. Whenever I hear this I say "I think I know where Steve got the inspiration for that ascending up the neck run on I've seen all good people! I love that whole lead and I love what you can do with chromatic scales and such.
Thanks, its always easier to see the entire solo first, so the student can have a frame of reference as it is broken down into pieces.
He does play it in the beginning
How ahead of its time was this solo!? This is 1956!
Around Around The Clock was released in 20 May 1954. It was then released a second time in May 1955.
Thanks so much for the lesson. I think it’s great that musicians like yourself are kind enough to share your knowledge and technique this way. It’s a great help to me and I’m sure to a lot of other guitar players.
That has always been one of my bucket list solos to learn. Thanks for sharing it.
Pioneering shredding in the 50"s. Cool.
Check out Django Reinhardt
Bill Haley from Hamtramck Michigan about a 20-minute drive for me always wanted to play the solo thanks Pure Clean NOFX no overdubs Wicked solo they didn't call it shredding way back then but it sure was
While not the first rock and roll record, this one song greatly popularized the genre! Interestingly, at the time, pretty much only jazz guitarists had those kind of lead chops. For those whom might care, Danny Cedrone was the guitarist who put down this song's famous guitar solo. He was a session guitarist (who also had his own band) that Haley used on the original's (Haley version) 1954 recording. And if you listen to Haley's 1953 version of "Rock the Joint," you'll basically hear Cedrone play pretty much the same solo, just a bit smoother.
Crazy, but Cedrone made a mere $21 for the recording session - a pittance for such a wonderful, iconic, early rock guitar solo. But far more cruel, just three days away from turning 34, and only 10 days after this solo's/song's recording, Cedrone was killed, breaking his neck in a fall down some stairs (perhaps, a heart attack?). Thank God for recorded sound, else, next to no one would remember Cedrone.
he fell and died from a fall, i think at home and never lived to realize he made this big hit
so sad !
i know it's SO horrible he died before even reaping the reaping of benefits
Most amazing and iconic guitar solo's of its time. Phenomenal!
@@philipatoz thank you for the story I'm going to look up Danny cedrone friend of mine recently passed away falling down the steps
Thanks for the free material and history, people like you keep it alive
I can’t do any of this but I salute you for this extremely detailed tutorial. I wish all were like this.
Ace. Been stuck on that last spidery run down for years. Thank you 😊
Very well done. The chromatic descent is so pretty; you even get in a rest in before the rockabilly bit on the 6th and 5th strings.
Excellent lesson! Definitely one of my favorite guitar solos of all time. Thank you
I'm astonished how many video "lessons" there are for this solo-which get it completely wrong. Thankfully, you NAILED IT! Accurate, thorough, precise work, sir. Much appreciated!
EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thanks!!!
it's amazing that what's basically the first rock n roll shredding guitar solo was done by a guy who fell downstairs and died before he could even play the damn thing live
When I perform this live for the first time I will use distortion. I'm sure nobody will mind and it'll give me a little extra confidence. This lesson is the best I've found. Thank you.
Add distortion and nobody will recognize it as the plain flavored jazz riff it was. no hardcore rock lover would ever consider Haley as "true formula" rock
Great tutorial. The end was hilarious because ironically enough I was learning this on an......Ibanez with gauge 9's! Lololololol
Sad story about it's creator, Danny Cedrone, who had an accident and broke his neck few months before "Rock around the clock" were included in the soundtrack of "Blackboard jungle" and became a massive hit for The Comets. He couldn't enjoy the success but this lick will be for ever in the Olimpo of the pickers. He was already replaced by Franny Beecher, another virtuoso that matches Danny's lick note by note...
Great lesson, so true about the hand movement.....i discovered that watching Gary Potter....his hands seemed to hardly move.
superb, this solo is my nemesis!! but you helping ta!
carlton johnson pd
Very good, straight forward lesson. Thanks!
Great job!
well done
very nicely done. That has cleared up a few mistakes i was making :)
Great! Thanks for sharing!
perfect! you might want to use the neck pickup for that jazzier tone.
Maybe some heavier strings too.
You Brits are killer at playing that old stuff!
Brilliant!
Great tutor - thanks
very cool thanks
Well done, clear and concise lesson.
What type of Clock do you recommend for this?
Something that can be rocked around..
this sounds REALLY like danny cedrone! i just watched a bunch of players play this so wrong!
The metronome is your friend, but it’s a tough live friend.
great tutorial thank you for teaching this great song
Thank you! Lee
Nice now to learn this but it's hard when I have the attention span of a flea!
but am going to work hard on this.
I saw them arrive at Sydney airport on TV.
great
Excellent. Totally accurate. Well done!
Like number 700 !
Respect from Hampshire
:◎)
PLEASE DON'T USE SATURATION the sound must be clean, this was the sound of The COMETS AND BILL Haley.
+Christian Jamet Even with no saturation it would be very hard to get a similar sound...
yea.. it should be a clean sound..
Great lesson!!
awesom, excellten job, thank you very much
What is that music you have at the beginning of all your videos?
Very cool chords.
I want to learn that shit😎🤘
AC/DC was invented in this riff. That’s how important it is.
its so funny that a 50s lead break can be this difficult to play, easier to listen than play, thanks mans for this tut
It’s easy for us to forget of course that a lot of the early R&R players learned from jazz, country and country swing players and were very skilled - like Scotty Moore for example.
THANK YOU VERY MATCH MAN. IT IS BRILLIANT. IVAN-HECTOR.
Se nota que es una excelente demostración y explicación; lástima que mi idioma es el español y entiendo muy poco el inglés, por lo cual no me sirvió gran cosa. De todos modos muchas gracias.
Es una lástima que mis dedos no son rápidos ahora. Pero yo puedo practico mucho💪. Ingles es mi idioma primero pero yo se un poco de español, ¿que partes en este video tu no entiendes? Yo puedo doy ayuda
Very good lesson.
Excellent
you nailed it ,brilliant instruction too signed in just to give you a thumbs up and
i dont even like doing that these days credit where credit is due
stay away from vax type side effects on bitchute
Great lesson mate
A tip: play it out of the front pickup
thanks, man.
Thank you very much , I got it, i think..
Frank Beecher was a guitar monster in the 50's
Bravo!!!
Спасибо
10:06 I know this vid was made way back in 2014, but just to inform you that girls and women also play guitar in 2019. :D
It’s a figure of speech for Pete’s sakes. Have mercy. 🥺🎸

BTsMusicChannel Carlin was a genius. I’m 60 years old my friend. When you get to be my age you will not be offended by a mere figure of speech, believe me. I love all people no matter their gender or their indifferences to me and my opinions. We are all God’s children. Peace n love to you. ❤️✌️
@@scottt3100 Who says I'm offended? What I am worried about is old fucks who don't know any better. I am more just sick of their stupidity -- it's a pain in the ass to deal with it. We probably need some generations to die off. (The above words are just a string of figures of speech.)
I think most of have been in awe of Jennifer Batten as a musician. The album 'Local Objects' by Zsofia Boros - my favourite 'Solo Guitar' album (and I have many in my collection) and one I can highly recommend, It's all about and only about the music ;)
April 12, 1954: Danny Cedrone played it.
Indeed he did, I go into some of the history of the track in the downloadable PDF in the video description! Happy playing!
cool...
but 3/4 video timeline teaching the first couple strings licks!!!??
Porque complicar tanto
What guitar u using in the video mate ?
Its my Gibson ES-175 with Thomastik Infeld flatwounds on. An elegant weapon for a more civilised age
he used 16ths\\ then triplets 12 per bar
The guitar is a 225???
Porque no lo explican en español.
Hablas demasiado, pero se agradece el intento no todos saben enseñar.
what kind of guitar is that
Brian Ralph it’s a Gibson ES-175 an absolutely beautiful instrument!
@@Willhayguitar yes indeed, George Thorogood uses 175's too, great sound !
how about that open B on the intro?
what is he saying?.." its almost like".... a load.?. of what??
What's the name of the video's intro song?
what's the tempo of the song, what's the bpm
avoir les dialogues en francais
Sounds like the intro to AC/DC's "Thunderstruck".
cliffedward thundersuck intro sounds like this
Now I begin to understand many things.
where can I buy one?
What's the name of the song in this intro?
Rock around the clock
Funny to see, the first notes looks like AC/DC thunder struck....
This solo is sick.... Timing is so difficult.
Why the distortion? The original solo is a full and warm sound. Sounds like a wasp in a tin jar. Please respect the original.
I'm often pressed for time recording these and no one pays me to spend my time making them so apologies for not quite hitting the mark. You're more than welcome to record and upload your own version with whatever tone you choose however, thanks for stopping by!
Will Hay Guitar Your lesson completely respects the original. It is very well explained. Thanks for taking the time to create the lesson and share it.
voxsupreme. Have you posted your 'respectful to the original' version? I would like to hear it.
Thank you for this. Finally learned this solo and now feel like I'm hot stuff (kidding). One critique, your voice is quiet but the guitar too loud, high pitched and grating.making it difficult to listen to. A "fatter" sound would've made learning easiest. Just my 2 cents.
😝😠ooooo
