Here's how to play one of the best Rock n Roll songs every - Roll Over Beethoven by Chuck Berry!

Most people find this easier to learn than Johnny B. Goode, Many people 'wing' the ending and make up their own solo and just focus on getting the first bit right - which is fine! This has been covered by everyone from The Beatles to Status Quo along with countless rock n roll cover bands.

Learn as many licks and lead guitar moves as you can, but don't be too hard on yourself - I can't actually find a live recording on YouTube of Chuck Playing it like the record at all!!
