It's interesting... electric guitar came about so that the player could play
single note horn-like lines and be heard. Before guitar amplification, it was
strictly a rhythm instrument...and barely heard at that. For the most part it
seems to me that it stayed that way (except for some blues) until Chuck came
along and, in a sense, "dumbed down" electric guitar playing with his
lead/rhythm style. Yet, he invented a style that never went away, that almost
every modern rock guitarist to this day owes something to. Surf guitarists were
certainly influenced somewhat by Chuck.
However, because of Chuck's enormous influence on guitar playing, rock and roll
guitarists in general stopped playing horn-like lines and concentrated on the
blues/pentatonic scales, bending full, not half tones, as they went along.
If a seasoned guitarist who knows his theory sits in on jam sometime, he won't
have to ask what the key is or what the changes are. If a player who has only
played Keith or Eric or Chuck sits in, chances are he'll want to play Johnny B
Goode.

You make some good points. First of all you're right the tune

Horn players, as a whole, seem to be a different breed of animal.
The few I've worked never ask what key or what's the cord structure,
they just seem to know what to do. I've seen really good guitar
players do the same thing but its rare. I don't know maybe it a
training thing. Horn players I've come across usually have had more
formal training and a greater overall knowledge of theory.
That bit about wipe out was my poor attempt at sarcasm...I meant that
knowing one piece does not make you proficient on an instrument
regardless how good you can play that piece. A keyboad player once
taught me the opening cords to "The Nutcracker" and I can play it
really well and it sounds really impressive, however, it's the only
thing I can play on a keyboard.
I doing another jam for guitar players on Saturday 6/18 on 30th
street from 12 noon to 6pm in NYC. If you or any cats on this list
are around you're welcome to drop by. Email me a note off list and
I'll give you the details.

P.S. If you get me drunk, I'll play Johnny B. Goode.

Guitar players chose Johnny B. Goode over Roll Over Beethoven because
it's about a guitar player. You're right, we don't hear reed players
stuck on Deacon Blues and Jazzman but that's because, in general, the
guitar players in the bands don't know those tunes. The guitar
players know Johnny B. Goode (that Chuck Berry song about a guitar
player). The reed players have no trouble hanging with a I IV V like
Johnny B. Goode so they go with it.

Many rock guitar players have trouble jamming once you leave the I IV
V pattern.

T-Bone Walker and Charlie Christian both played soem killer
electric guitar in the 1940s...Lines that sound "Blues
Rock" to my ears...I'm sure good old Chuck Berry copped a
few of their lines...
In a lot of ways, we all owe a great big "thank you" to
good old T-Bone Walker and his killer Texas-style Electric
Guitar...that dude rocked!

That makes sense...I was just guessing re: T-Bone because
old T-Bone was pretty well known in the 40s and early
50s...
but, most of those jazz/blues cats were pretty aware of
each other...especially with the segregated-sub-culture of
the day...segregated clubs, radio, record distribution and
cinema were all prevalent...in other words the jazz/blues
community was rather small and self contained at thet time,
I suppose.

but playingwise there's a whole lot of t-bone in chuck's playing....

We can't forget the recently passed piano player, Johnnie Johnson,
whose band Chuck joined and soon took over. Chuck himself mentions in
"Hail, Hail, Rock n' Roll' and in other places that he was just
trying to emulate Johnnie's right hand boogie woogie leads on his
guitar and that's how he came up with the signature JBG lick. He also
mentions that he knew every Jimmie Rodgers song as a child and grew up
in the more prosperous Black area of St. Louis known as The Ville,
where he was exposed to more white (hillbilly) music, plus some Latin
American rhythms. There are tons of stories where he plays to all
Black audiences at places like the Apollo and in the South, where he
is booed of the stage for sounding so hillbilly. Muddy was a hero of
his and hooked him up with Chess Records.

According to the bio, Chuck spent many months with Muddy, who was truly a mentor
to him in many more ways than forging a connection with Chess. The bio stated
very bluntly that Chuck learned Blues riffs from Muddy, that he later adapted to
fuse into Rock & Roll songs.

i hear a LOT more t-bone then muddy in chuck's playing.....muddy's pretty
much known for his silde work...
muddy sent chuck to chess.....so maybe that's the "influence"....
but playingwise there's a whole lot of t-bone in chuck's playing....

i'd believe that.....of course my ears still tell me it was t-bone's blues
licks muddy was teaching chuck.....
chuck doesn't play like muddy....he does play like t-bone.....muddy very
well may have taught him t-bone's licks....but chuck's style has very
little in common with muddy's....so while muddy surely was big influence on
chuck as a perfomer/person/musician...it's t-bone who seems to be the
biggest influence on his style, even if that influence came thru muddy.....
