Mr. Jelly,
If I was Chuck Berry or Maybelle Carter, then I wouldn’t be asking for helpful suggestions. |

Thank you for the comments. Along with what Silly had to say, I’ve got a lot to think about. I’m rethinking the whole pedal thing. Again, Thank You. John |

Think?!!!

Not a lot to think about here, though; just BEGIN. Playing guitar is not a 'one and done" process, it's gonna morph and change and grow as you grow on the instrument. If you want to find the balance for your playing, just keeping thinking that and listening for it as you go. Experiment and find what works for you! There are no rules, really, and believe me, the human "machine" is an INCREDIBLY precise unit... most players can feel the difference between an 11 high E string and a 12, very easily... Adjusting minute amounts of applied pressure will be a piece of cake! Let us know how it goes for you! have fun with this; you're gonna find a ew style of play for you... I assume you play because you love music and the guitar... so enjoy the journey! This is definitely one of those "GET TO" not "GOT TO" items in life...

Most all the greats have high praise for Chuck Berry. One of the main reasons is because of his guitar style transitioning to a guitar break. They all learned it and use it.

Apparently I misunderstood what you were suggesting. I never listened much to Maybelle Carter and not much more to Chuck Berry! I'll have to give them both a listen. Any particular songs by either of them to recommend? And Thank You. |

What I'd recommend is to look at some YouTube lessons of their styles and try to apply it to the lead breaks in the songs you like to play.
