Exploring Rockabilly and Vintage rock and roll guitar

This series explores three key songs from Rattle and Hum that showcase simple but effective chord progressions, expressive lead lines, and dynamic rhythmic textures, offering guitarists a deeper understanding of roots-inspired playing.

Rockabilly and early rock ‘n’ roll guitar playing blends blues, country, and swing influences, creating a dynamic, percussive style filled with walking basslines, fast picking, and rhythmically driven lead lines. The twangy tone, slapback delay, and fingerpicking techniques define the sound of pioneers like Elvis Presley (Scotty Moore), Gene Vincent, and Brian Setzer.
