@jackHNv Which, I believe, is pretty much what I said. I'm done with this.

@southwestcds No, I wasn't fiddling with a guitar in those days, I didn't pick a guitar up until 1977, I have however played professionally for over 30 years since then.

I didn't say CB was a great player, I said he was influential, which he obviously was. The Beatles, Elvis, Stones, Hendrix, Dave Edmunds, Setzer, The Who, Mountain, Ten Years After, Beach Boys, Johnny Winter, Pistols, AC/DC, and countless others - what have they all got in common? They've all recorded CB songs, I rest my case.

Speaking of Berry, often overlooked is that he's arguably one of the handful of greatest lyricists in rock along with Davies, Dylan, etc.

It's like this. When Chuck Berry toured, he didn't have to take a band with him. He'd pick up a band in the town he would play because everybody knew his music and would jump at the chance top play with him. Simple? Maybe/.Still listened to and copied 55 years later? You better believe it. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame charter member.

@HUBBAHUBBAWOOWOO Good Lord! Chuck Berry didn't invent the three chord riff. It has been around as long as the four chord riff. Where do you people get this stuff?

[southwestcds]

@jackHNv Hi, Jack. You most likely weren't fiddling with a guitar in those days like a lot of us were or you wouldn't make such a claim. The fact is that CB wasn't a player. I'm sorry but he just wasn't. As I said, he found his niche and worked it with success much like folks such as Bo Diddley did. It didn't make them players. Any player who 'cut his teeth' on those guys eventually learned to toddle. When they could, they did. After a week or two, there was nothing left to learn from them.

@southwestcds I don't think so! Who's the most covered song writer in rock? Almost every band from the 60s and 70s cut their teeth on Chuck Berry songs, and his influence can be heard on the playing of every rock guitar from Jimmy Page to Slash.

Obviously there are others, blues players and jazz players who had influence but no-one as much as CB.
