Written by one of the founders of rock n’ roll (if not THE founder) Chuck Berry, Johnny B. Goode is considered by many as the ultimate rock song of all time.
According to Chuck Berry, the song is loosely based on his life with a few details changed.
Performed live by too many artists to count, Johnny B. Goode is a song that every aspiring rock or blues guitarist should know.

HI everyone, I need some help with this song.
He uses the 12 Bar Blues and sounds excellent to me, but here is the problem:
I´ve got a live version of the song, played by Chuck Berry himself, and I must play the same but one semitone up (So, I cant use the open string), also I have a backing track and have the same problem. Why is that?? My guitar is at normal tunning (E 440).
Thanks a lot

Blues could be faster too, and rock and roll could be slower too!
23 LinkBulletBill // Mar 15, 2009 at 2:42 am
LOL! Sorry… But this isn’t hard… Shit, I’m not a beginner and I clicked on a beginner vid for this song, I want to learn the real thing! Shit, all the tabs I found were all 3* rating… And he couldn’t show your the intro, wow! That would have took about 30 seconds…
