Rockabilly is how the country music world has appropriated the black blues, accelerating the tempo. The result was eventually rise to rock and roll, but we found the original technical blues guitarists revisited how Appalachian and Nashville. The first rockabilly guitarists like Carl Perkins, Scotty Moore and the Everly Brothers, all had strong roots in traditional country music.

The first rhythm is most often "swing", with accompanying technical syncopated, most often based on melodic bass lines borrowed and boogie. The basic range remains the pentatonic blues scale, and the chorus often favor solos note doubled. The book finally goes from bluesy ballad rock to boogie woogie.

I've been hooked on rockabilly lately, having recently discovered Johnny Burnette.

Here're some more rockabilly licks

I have recently had my interest in rockabilly rekindled and have also been a big Johnny Burnette kick.

I'm not sure I'll ever get the Travis picking thing. I have a hard enough time locating one string to pick.

I stumbled on Johnny Burnette and the Rock 'n' Roll Trio in my late teens back in the early 80s. I don't think my life has been quite the same since. They kind of blew my mind: I was coming at it from the perspective of a young punk, so when I heard those guys I thought, "Man! They were punk in the freaking 50s!" I mean, what can you say about a band who, in the 1950s mind you, recorded a song that includes the line: "Don't make me nervous/I'm holding a baseball bat"???

Yeah, I certainly wish I'd heard them a lot sooner. I too got into old 50's rock back in the mid-80s, but apparently didn't even scratch the surface as to what's out there.

Here's a good box set for classic rockabilly:

Merle Travis may be my favorite, him and "Mr. Guitar" Chet Atkins. Although im pretty comfortable with a flatpik i nevrr have had much success with Travis picking, hybrid picking, etc. The site in the title has a bit of everything.

This rockabilly kick has me considering selling my CP Jaguar to pick up some kind of Gretsch with a Bigsby. I figure my CP Jazzmaster can cover my surf needs.

Had the same experience as LordWellFleet, was into punk as a teenager in the 80's, but a friend of mine gave me a tape with psychobilly bands (Meteors, Cramps, etc). One of the songs was Johnny Burnette's 'Train kept a rollin'. It had the most fuzzied guitar song I've heard in RnR. It has been a constant favorite since then (next to Cramps, Link Wray and Stooges).
If you want some classic Burnette for a budget price, nothing beats this CD box (4 CD's for under 10 euro's):

If you only want his raw RnR-trio stuff, this Norton re-release is a jem:

That's the album I recently got from iTunes. It is as raw and gritty a release as any punk album I've ever heard, all the more so when you consider it was recorded 20 years before punk broke.
