Course Description

Who out there has NOT always wanted to learn to play the electric guitar like the late, great Chuck Berry?  Now is your chance to do it at a ridiculously reasonable price.  In this lesson series, I will take you through 100 separate lessons covering the most important aspects of the Chuck Berry guitar style - both rhythm and lead.  There are more than 7 hours of instruction here!  That's a lot!  

You will learn all of Chuck Berry's signature licks that you can use to play his music or any form of rock and roll.   You will learn his most recognizable song intros, solo licks, end tags, turnarounds, fill licks, and more!   You will learn the chords and progressions and rhythm patterns used in his most famous songs.   Examples and specific licks are included from more than 50 (different) of Chuck Berry's original Chess recordings.   Each lesson includes TAB + charts of chords and other information to help you figure it out.    All lessons include detailed explanation and instruction - NOT just me playing things for you to figure out on your own!  

Lesson highlights include:

- lessons on all the basics of Chuck Berry style including chords, rhythm guitar parts, soloing, signature licks, and song structures.

- lessons teaching more than 40 of Chuck song intro licks for tunes including "Johnny B. Goode," "Carol," "Maybellene," and No    Particular Place To Go."

- lessons teaching 25 specific Chuck Berry licks heard in the solos of songs like "Dear Dad," "Sweet Little Rock & Roller," "Promised    Land," and "Down The Road a Piece."

-complete lesson teaching Chuck's instrumental classic "Guitar Boogie."

- chart with chords for all Chuck Berry songs mentioned in this series!

- detailed lessons on Chuck's sliding double stops heard in songs like "Carol," "House of Blue Lights," and "Promised Land."

- Complete lesson on "Jo Jo Gunne" including note-or-note TAB for all guitar fills and licks!

- lessons on fill licks, end tags, turnarounds, and chord licks heard on Chuck Berry records.

& much, much more!!!!!

To my knowledge, nobody has ever tried to present such a complete course that covers every aspect of Chuck Berry's guitar playing.   Well, here it is - and for much, much less dough than it would cost you to learn the same stuff from a professional instructor.

This course is for beginners or any guitarist who wants to immerse themselves in the Chuck Berry style.  The things you learn in this series can be used in all kinds of blues-based music - from classic rock to heavy metal and punk!   

So, if you want to learn how to play guitar like Chuck Berry did, this is a great buy for you.  There are enough lessons and material here to keep you busy learning for many, many moons.  

As with all my lessons on Udemy, I am available for questions and help when/if you should need it!

the damn program won't play

By Juha A on 1/4/2023

The best Chuck Berry course available! There are hundreds of Chuck Berry lessons in You Tube, but this is the only one that makes any sense. David is a good teacher and he covers the style of Chuck Berry in an easy to approach method. This course is suitable for advanced beginners and more experienced players.

By Ken Spiby on 8/23/2021

David Moore in my view has put an awful lot of work into sussing out the licks runs solos etc as a lot of them by chuck berry where played as single and double string incorporating bending which is very difficult to hear when transcribing from the original records,It takes years of knowing what to look for and hear.Very good Course on the Best Rocker

By Matt Mawhinney on 8/14/2020

In the past I've learned some of Chuck Berry's songs and licks, but it's been years and I knew I wanted to dive deeper into his style. When I stumbled upon this course, I knew it was EXACTLY what I was looking for. In 25 years (or so) of playing guitar, and after taking many courses, buying lots of tab books, etc. I'd say this is the best I've seen yet. The teacher breaks it down into logical pieces, explained and demonstrated very clearly. There's tremendous value here, thank you!

By Shon on 12/23/2019

Down to earth simple informative ...he’s done all the homework and has packaged it beautifully as a good teacher should do! You will find some tasty snipets of the style of this iconic player of yesteryear !

By Ted Kowalczyk on 11/22/2019

This is a very well presented and very comprehensive course, it will take a while to take this all in and retain it all This is really good stuff if you like vintage rockabilly and genuine rock n roll..

By David C. on 9/15/2019

The first few sections are for beginners but that is fine. I am more interested in the material presented after. Dave lays down the fundamentals which are crucial to know when learning something new.

By Steve Cowley on 4/9/2019

Really enjoyed this course. It's opened up a whole world of possibilities - not only learning to play Chuck's songs but finding great ideas that I can incorporate into my own playing. The teaching style is brilliant and I love the fact that, by David's own admission, he is not a classical musician but just puts things in term's he can understand. Really works for me.

By Alex Pineiro on 11/7/2018

So far, yes, it's a good match. Love Mr. Berry's musical style and the course so far is very clear in providing details on the basics of his style of play as well as fun history on the roots of Berry's influences

By Roger Bowerman on 7/11/2018

Really enjoying this -would like the tab to be on screen with video but that's a small quibble
