Description
I had a chance to spend a few days in Memphis, TN last weekend and while I was there I took the Sun Studio tour. I highly recommend that tour to any musician – so much history in that small building! Throughout the tour they were playing some of the great Sun Records recordings by artists like Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Elvis Presley, Ike Turner, and the list goes on and on. I created this week’s “Call and Response”, blues rhythm and lead guitar lesson as a tribute to some of the great guitar work that came from that vintage 1950’s era.

Brian,
All I can say, is that you are keeping me very busy!!! Another great one.
On this subject, my wife and I couple of years ago saw a great show in Vegas called “The Million Dollar Quartet” I was a great show. As you probably already know, it was about the impromptu jam session involving Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash back in 1956 (Ha!! year I was born), made at Sun Records. It also covered the history of Sun records. One of the best shown I’ve seen in Vegas. I believe Roy Orbison was also at that recording, but was not part of the show.
Thanks for all the great lessons.

sure is a privilege getting these classic licks from Brian..keep it coming Brian! AND THANKS FOR SHARING!
Brian Many thanks for this one its an almost perfect lesson for me to get up to speed
cheers
Really love this lesson!
I love the lesson! I love the shirt. I loved Sun Records. We stayed in Memphis for a while when we had to leave New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. It was the highlight of my trip
Awesome B.. I was born in ’58 When ever I would play a snappy tune like this Mom use to start dancing say’n Dad and her use to Dance to tunes like this… I’m gunna learn this one for Mom 😉
Thanks for that!
did just got in! thanks for the subway!
All I want to say is for advanced (modest) players.. the new featured sound slice software is incredibly useful ..love the genre as always..thank you Brian once again!
Another very interesting and useful lesson. Shows how something can be fun to play without being that difficult.
Hi Brian,
We were in Memphis this May and took the tour of Sun records. I’m glad my wife convinced me to do Stax records also. So many artists are represented there like Booker T, Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding. Got to see one of Steve Cropper’ guitars. Very cool tour!
Mike
Great lesson. Every time I play the lesson, or play along with it I get a big ass grin. Really gets the juice going. How about a follow up lesson along the same vein.
Hi Brian
Brilliant lessons as usual. Don’t apologise about you T shirt. Think is absolutely brilliant as well.
Regards
Kim

Great lesson Brian . Really fun to play, although not yet as fast as you play it! Thanks. Countryman.
Haven’t been to Memphis but I cleaned windows for Donald “Duck” Dunn for about 5 years and upto his death. I still do business with June, Ducks wife and her son Jeff .. I’ve seen all his basses including his 59 fender precision.Duck was one of the nicest and most humble people you could have met. His office was full of gold and plantinum albums….By the way, Brian, thanks for the great lessons!!!!!
I took the Sun Studio Tour last month and it was well worth it. Great Tour.
Thank you, great lesson! Can’t wait till I can get started with it; there’s so much on the site to keep me occupied when I have the time. Your lessons are just right.
G/day Brian, This particular style of guitar brings back so many memories for me musically. It was the Rockabilly thing that really grabbed me when I was probably only seven or eight years old. Love the music, thanks for the lesson, and thanks for the memories.

Just started this lesson and really starting to appreciate R&B stuff now…the surfing music is starting to take a back seat. Would be nice for you to have some CCR later on ! Keep up the “chops” !
