It also says he traveled around the world only with his guitar hiring a new band for each place, expecting them to know all of his songs without even get so much as practice or even a setlist. I still love him though and i write this with outmost respect for the king of rock and roll, but im a very moral person and when i like the music i feel i need to like the person so i need some kind of reasurence from some of you that is familiar with his history if he is a straight forward good guy that just made a couple of mistakes in his life like: armed robbery, tax fraud, mann act and installing cameras in the ladies bathroom in his club. What im trying to say is Chuck a guy i could have trusted, would it be fun to play with him, or would he be an arrogant bastard who wouldnt even talk with you and had absolutely no regrets about his past. These are just thoughts ive made up i have nothing against him really i love his music and play it almost every day, but i need to know if he is a man to respect not only for his music but for his persona.(EDIT: I REPETE I AM NOT TRYING TO PUT CHUCK BERRY THE GOD OF ROCK AND ROLL IN A BAD LIGHT IM JUST CURIOUS ABOUT HIS PAST!)

The thing is that when i see him live he has this spark and glow and is always smiling telling jokes and making these awesome tricks with his guitar, and in a way i see myself in him but i just needed a reasurence that he did not just "wear a mask" onstage. I mean if i ever get to go onstage with a band i will be the same guy offstage as onstage. So my forgive my suspicous mind but i wasnt shure if he was the man i see onstage. Thanks i can no let this pass from my mind:P(I think to much) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

On the stage he was chuck berry, the father of R&R. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
