Boogie Woogie rock n roll guitar lesson

[MrPhilfridge]

Interesting little video.....but think it would sound nicer with dynasonics....single coils just seem to be better for rock n roll.

[33inberlin]

There is absolutely NO Boogie Woogie in ANY way shape or form in this video!

[33inberlin]

Original Boogie Woogie was just piano people....do some research.

[Allanlol86]

I love boobie woogie... and trying to build a collection of this kind of songs...

Any suggestions? (Especially guitar, base and drum based songs)

[alecmanfull]

Sweet

[Ryboner1]

yer now drop d it, slow it down and add loadsa gain and your rockin man !

[FormerMPSGT]

Please let me know what model you are using; I like it I had both the 6120 and 6122 got rid of both of them, just not the Upper Eschelon I expected or remembered as I stated below I am not a professional nor did I have over $2000.00 to spend (I had that for two guitara an Acoustic and Electric so I bought them).

[FormerMPSGT]

if you want the TV Jones Pick Ups or Ultra Sonics by the original and not the cheaper line of Gretsch; but if you dont play professionally most will find the cost too high by professionally I mean your an excellent player you would hardly be in need of such a great guitar. Nothing Sounds like a Gretsch; if you dont think so listen to the Grown and that of the Early Beatles! Enjoy!

[plektren]

Play you on a Fender amp?

[meatbundle]

@plektren Looks like it was a 1965 Princeton Reverb with a 12" Celestion Vintage 30.

[meatbundle]

I played one of those cheap Gretsch guitars the other day, nice big neck, pretty darn good. For the money, I think they are good.

[MisterNatale]

I'm 16 , and I love Boogie woogie, and I play it!! Yeah. good job ser!!

[meatbundle]

@MisterNatale  I'm just an old goofball, but I like to rock! These are the first kinds of riffs I learned in the 70's listening to records.

[hopop313]

haha....."today's children have lost the ability to boogie woogie" you say that so seriously like a news reporter lol.

[meatbundle]

@hopop313 Pretty serious man! Strats rock! Buddy is my hero!!!!

[MrZiggycatt]

@hopop313 its true man

[meatbundle]

@MrZiggycatt YOu tell 'em!!!

[MrZiggycatt]

@meatbundle

Im also 16 years of age....and i cant find anybody my age to jam with its fucking crazy!

The only guys i have anything in comman with musically are my dads friends lol

[Razor61289]

@hopop313 Brilliant!

[hopop313]

I don't have a Gretsch guitar....I have a Fender Strat....But Hey, thats what good old Buddy Holly played so thats good enough for me!

[silentmaninvalley]

ihaaaaaaaa))



[007snake1]

Thnx I needed to learn this XD

[1971SuperLead]

I forgot how easy it is to rock!

[nunchaku1992]

doesnt get into deep stuff

but does get u laid

[Rontaz123]

Thanks a lotttttttttt man ;) that sounds great gonna dig in this and keep trying untill i have got it .....

:") yehaaaw lol

[mitch5j86]

Thank you, sir!

[meatbundle]

I dig Setzer, he cranks out quite a few good solo records. Also like Jeff Beck a lot! The Rev, Gene Vincent, Beatles, Stones, Hendrix, Chuck Berry, The replacements, The Cramps, Holwing Wolf, Muddy Watters, Crapton, Buddy Holly, The Sadies, The Love Me Nots, The Stooges, all kinds of American one hit wonders, anything that's kinda garage like is cool! Thanks! Maybe I'll do some more clips again soon.

[lewars1912]

That "unfortunately" bit is bad for the health of my pinky.

[busessuck1]

great sounding guitar

[Jetgui22]

Fucking awesome skills!!

but I didnt' learn anything :(

[thedeadpost]

THIS IS AWESOME!! @ meatbundle Thank you for this lesson! What bands are you into? Mostly old stuff? Any new stuff? Thanks!

[9Robin1]

Awesome. Too many people know how to play the same stupid brian adams ballads and it makes you sick after a while...

[jfl125]

LOL. U gat a nice little tune goin there. nice guitar dude

[BRYANJONATHAN13]

honestly no bs everytime i jam with my pals we always play this, without hearing about boogie woogie? never heard of it is it like rockabilly?

[meatbundle]

@BRYANJONATHAN13 There ya go...not that much intellectualization needed, just bone head rock

[Ugonawin]

YEHHHH HAWW!!! very nice, fun and thank you

[meatbundle]

@Ugonawin It is fun!!! Did you get to the B chord?

[twirlyboggs]

uh-HUH

[guitarpop]

Gotta work on that yee-haw there brother!

[meatbundle]

Hey guys! Keep up that simple bone head rock n roll! Getting that swing feel?

[medman69]

Sir, you are absolutely right kids today definitely do NOT know how to boogie woogie. Nice lesson.

[pedro123456789597]

bad

[miiiido493]

thanx :)

[gruveb]

I love how you build the riff.

[jjmmcc01]

Thanks meatbundle,

You’re an insparation. Rock ‘n’ Roll l Rules.

[meatbundle]

@jjmmcc01 I keep hittin it year after year!!!!

[Tanner0050]

Man i just learned AC/DC's rocker and ZZtops brown suger its got great buggie woogie riffs in it man thats the stuff i love to play man u keep rockin Bro ur doin an awesome job iv watched ur video atleast 30 times iv almost got it down pat Great job man

[aomf]

hey it's awesome man! I like the rhythm, thanks :D

[BrazosPiano]

I would like to hear this played on an acoustic.... would it work at all?

Can you get similar Gretsch for around $1k? That old one sounds pricey...

[meatbundle]

You could look at getting some TV Jones pickups in one of those cheapies....I think it would sound killer on any guitar. Really it's all in your hands and mind. I spent decades chasing down vintage guitars and they are cool and all, but the public sure does not care! I bet a re-issue Gretsch would be cool too.

[TheMosseh]

I'm a Metal Head and this is my favourite style to play on the guitar! Boogie Woogie!!

[Feet4hands]

You seemed to enjoy it! I hope I get as much from it. Many thanks

[pat17091975]

lol, my arms hurt :-)

[meatbundle]

@pat17091975 I forgot to mention keeping your arms, wrists and hands kinda relaxed and loose.

[lunasco23]

You rock the way it was meant to be man thanks this is so helpful for my band

[meatbundle]

What kind of stuff do you guys play? I am super hyped to be helpful!

[lunasco23]

@meatbundle

We play Rock 'n roll kinda like the 50's but we try to kinda modernize it

[Martaan66]

Nice little lesson...Thanks.

[DaveStoertebeker]

"this is gonna kill you!" ... haha yeah man! his is great rock n roll! thanks for this vid!

[DaveStoertebeker]

yes "instant rock n roll!" xD great!

[meatbundle]

Anyone else have any theories on the orgin of this guitar? Who's got eagle eyes?

[Dalamar100]

@meatbundle Looks to me like a Chet Atkins Solid Body. maybe 1959 model? though it doesn't have the stupid flappy bit. Is the Vibrato tailpiece a Bigsby B3C?

[Dalamar100]

@meatbundle Looks to me like a Chet Atkins Solid Body. maybe 1959 model? though it doesn't have the stupid flappy bit. Is the Vibrato tailpiece a Bigsby B3C?

[meatbundle]

@Dalamar100 Pretty close Dalamar100....'57 6121. Has a Bigsby added and Filtertrons were also added, all before I bought it super cheap.

[Dalamar100]

@meatbundle Ah of course. its the stained orange headstock that gives it away as the 6121 model. as far as I know all other gretsch models have a brown or black head stock.

[fitrightt]

that is not a fake gretsch !!!!! it is a new one made over seasessssssssssss!!!

[058lwdcity]

fake gretsch

[meatbundle]

@058lwdcity enlighten us please

[moojay100]

your shite

[johnk4881]

hhaahaha nice!

[SerialZ70]

u rock !! xD like it ^^

[meatbundle]

Thanks! I'm just an unsupervised goofball. I like to play.

[karolis1906w]

Nice!!!! It could be with better quality :/

Rock ON!!!

[punkguitardude16]

hey im 16 and i play all kinds of music like boogie woogie to metal i was and still raised up on 40s 50s and up that kind of music. but you are right kids dont play the good stuff no more like the beach boys and elvis stuff like that its sad.

[meatbundle]

Go for it! Awesome! Gotta swing a little bit now and then. Thanks for checking out the clip! I have fun doing these and they are kinda tounge in cheek.

[Riverdale270]

Wouldn't really call this boogie woogie, because that's more the style that Albert Ammons and such played on the piano... This is more rockabilly, which kicks ass equally hard by the way...

[meatbundle]

Ya get that rockabilly! I call everything boogie woogie....just rambling

[jazzstars]

try it with no strings.

[tricountymusiccenter]

Its almost that song about a hot rod lincoln..

[madipl]

lol boggie loogie

[meatbundle]

Not boogie loogie.

[MegaDean01]

.........that today's children have lost the ability to boogie woogie! lolololololol!!!!!!!

[meatbundle]

Teach the children to learn, they can be learned

[azzans]

They can be taught

[daddyseek]

nice george harrison rocked a grescht a 12 string but man im16 and i can boogie woogie man i can shake rattle androll man ican rock just ashard as lennon boogie woogie will comeback i promise

[meatbundle]

I hear ya lewd and clear! Thanks for watching my major studio production! I have a new CD out called "Something Weird". My band is called The Surf Zombies and I play the Gretsch on that record a bit on the rhythm tracks. Look us up on myspace or itunes or CDBaby if you are so reclined.

[DanLFC1991]

awesome vid mate, great rock n' roll licks right there!

[terregator]

dude! that was amazing! i don't think i've ever seen a better instructional video!!!

[meatbundle]

Is someone paying you people to be nice to me?

This is the kind of basic rock n roll I've been playing since I was a teenage weirdo.

Glad you enjoy!

Remember to keep the element of fun first and foremost!

[kool4joe]

Awesome mate!

[ag25at]

excellent!!!

how i wish the video was clearer...

[lewars1912]

Well done. Speed's always been my problem.

[meatbundle]

Thanks for watching everybody!

Are you all learning to rock n roll real cool?

[meatbundle]

Hey guys!

Just feel the boogie woogie, you don't need a tab!

[foley62380]

very very good man!!FoLeY bY FRanCe

[ScaredHelmet]

I like it.

[meatbundle]

Hello...I can help you. The point of this little demonstration is to use your ears and rely less on tablature. Do you know E5 power chord? Start there with your first finger on 5th string at 2nd fret. Hit the two big strings...that's E5...then add the other bits. Let me know how far you get....I'll help you.

[yaleo21]

Who have tab for this lesson,help me please))

[yaleo21]

who can show me tab for this lesson?

Senc you)

[y2joylen]

[GibsonSGsRock1]

--Matt

[fenderplayer489]

great vid

[noelweller]

Got The gretsch.. just need a nice practice amp, what would you recomend?

[meatbundle]

An Epiphone valve JR is awesome. Go tube all the way. Or...check on Ebay for an old Kay combofrom the 60's. I just got a Blackheart little Giant and I love it. Check all three out and let me know what you think.
