I know most here are not into this very early style of Rock N' Roll, and it's all probably basic stuff , but today I had a flash of inspiration. I was looking around a general kind of store looking through a bin of CD's. I found a "Best of Chuck Berry" and a song I was looking for was on there,"Promise Land". First time I heard it was Elvis singing it in the Men In Black movie. I just loved it. Found the lyrics on line and it said written by Chuck Berry., unknown album. That was couple years ago. Anyway ,at first I just went straight to that song , then went back to the beginning to listen to the rest of it on the way home. As I was listening it struck me all the riffs,different tempo's, that could go in with the songs. I could "hear "it all in my head. As usual ,what's in my head and what comes out of my fingers are two different things. I thought if I could see and hear some basics "in the style of" maybe I can bring my thoughts to life. They are some really great songs as per all the artists that have covered them. Johnny Winter, Rolling Stones, George Thourogood to name a few. Surely no matter what style you like to play there's something here everyone could benefit from .
Gonna go back to some "Johnny(Sammy) B. Goode"! Thanks, Sam
