Chuck Berry Playing Approaches
In this first lesson we’re going to talk about the king of Rock N Roll, Chuck Berry.
Chuck Berry had an enormous influence on so many people that came after him that I thought it was only right to start off this series with him.
First we’ll start with a demonstration then we’ll dive into some playing approaches and break it all down.

Albert King Playing Approaches
In this next couple of lessons I’m going to cover the mighty Albert King. Now, while most of this series is going to lean more towards Rock, I think we need to cover some of the old school Blues guys like Albert King since they laid the foundation for those that came after them and the Rock genre as a whole.

Keith Richards Playing Approaches
In this lesson we're going to talk about Mr. Keith Richards. In the early 60’s we were introduced to The Rolling Stones who were heavily influenced by American Blues Music and, as Keith Richards has openly admitted, Chuck Berry.
First I’ll play a demonstration then we’ll dive into a practice session and break it all down in detail.
