Charles Edward Anderson Berry (born October 18, 1926), better known as Chuck Berry, is a highly influential American guitarist, singer and composer. Berry was born in St. Louis, Missouri and was part of the first group to be inducted into the new Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on its opening in 1986.
While there is debate about who recorded the first rock and roll record, Chuck Berry's early recordings, including "Maybellene" (1955) fully synthesized the rock and roll form, combining blues and country music with teenaged lyrics about girls and cars, with impeccable diction alongside distinctive electric guitar solos and an energetic stage persona. Chuck Berry also popularized use of the boogie in rock and roll.
My Ding-A-Ling
When I was a little biddy boy My grandma bought me a cute little toy Two Silver bells on a string She told me it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling
My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling won't you play with My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling won't you play with My Ding-A-Ling
When I was little boy In Grammar school Always went by the very best rule But Evertime the bell would ring You'd catch me playing with my ding-a-ling
Once while climbing the garden wall, Slipped and fell had a very bad fall I fell so hard I heard birds sing, But I held on to My ding-a-ling
Once while swimming cross turtle creek Man them snappers right at my feet Sure was hard swimming cross that thing with both hands holding my dingaling
Now this here song it ain't so bad Prettiest little song that you ever had And those of you who will not sing must be playing with your on Ding-a-ling
Chuck Berry是早期黑人摇滚乐的代表人物,也是50年代的吉他大师之一。1955年跨入乐坛,1984年被选入格莱美的摇滚名人堂。
布鲁斯、乡村、一点点的拉丁…在上个世纪五十年代中期,Chuck Berry将这些音乐风格全部融入到了他的个人招牌式的摇滚当中。作为当时的吉他灵魂人物之一,Chuck创造了最基本的12小节摇滚solo的乐句模式,他的吉他licks至今仍被众多的吉他手模仿和研究。他在舞台上弹奏吉他时跳着滑稽的”鸭子步”和煽情的摇摆舞也是让众多歌迷疯狂地爱上吉他音乐的原因。六十年代,两支欧美最受欢迎的摇滚乐队Beatles和the Rolling Stones都受到了Chuck Berry的影响。可以说正是Chuck这位黑人开创了白人摇滚的神话。如果要给摇滚乐一个名字,只能是 Chuck Berry...

特点:
汇集了布鲁斯和乡村音乐的风格,大音量的吉他licks和充满暗示的歌词,显示活力的double stop(在独奏中同时弹奏两个和弦音)和轻松幽默的推弦是他的演奏特点。
