Bar Chords in 5 Minutes #5 - (Barre) Bo Diddley Beat

[diptwares]

That is fun, how about the next part ??

[JohnGee1977]

Thank you - I'm rockin' now - feeling like Robbie Robertson!

[silkee59]

A few points you should consider when trying to go for BO

He played in open E , and used a capo this will give your guitar a much different sound. And to get that feel play it slow and funky with a good dose of Tremelo

or Vibrato and a touch of slapback.

txs bud i preciate it

[RobertWhiting]

Nope, that's all there is. E and A. If you want to play along to the lyrics go to Google and type in.... who do you love +chords .......and you will get lyrics with the chords

[notroexpress407]

on the Goerge Thourougood who do you love was there chords other than e and a?

[woOOui]

But when Bo played it, he never went to the A.

[ThatGvy99]

[AaronJayCole]

I can hear this slightly in KT Tunstall's Black Horse and a Cherry Tree :))

[BMC500]

This beat is also in not fade away by the rolling stones and I want Candy

[ddecto]

Bo diddley made that beat. He was those songs were meer spit on a wall compared to bo diddley's songs.

@ddecto

BTW

Hambone Willie Newborn used that so-called beat already in the late 1920's but BO DIDDLEY introduced it to rock&roll. I think NOT FADE AWAY by the STONES or BUDDY HOLLY can compete with any of DIDDLEY's songs.

To proof I really appreciate BO DIDDLEY s music I like to invite you to my BLUESCARTOONS No.4 featuring my animation &my music in that 1-minute tribute.

bye

Cool it's a lesson that is easy to follow for a beginner thanks for spreading the Bo word.

Please enjoy our Bo Diddley tributes from The Blues door {A Morrison Youth RePete}

Bo almost always used the Open E tuning,(I once saw him take it down to Em open tuning for one number)Playing the riff in open E gives a completely different feel to using the standard E chord shape

[Tooth4U]

lol tune that guitar dude.. .. thanx

[RobertWhiting]

Dear Snowhead, You're completly right. I mixed up my Thorogood cover (of Bo Diddley's "Who Do You Love?". Thanks. - RobertWhiting (with a cobra snake for a necktie)
