The lead story in this month's Guitar Techniques is Chuck Berry, and how his influence on the rock guitarists that came after him is as strong as ever. He was a massive force over The Beatles, The Stones and Beach Boys, and later on bands like The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin and The Sex Pistols.
Play through our fantasy jam with Chuck himself, Carl Wilson of The Beach Boys, Jimi, AC/DC's Angus Young, Steve Stevens of Billy Idol's band and, finally, Edward Van Halen.
Use Chuck's licks and style as a template for your own blues-to-rock playing; his style is as valid today as ever, and a few of his trademark double-stops can pep up any rock or blues solo.
Issue 170 is on sale now. What are you waiting for?
