Found out about him through listening to the Beatles when I was a kid. A true legend and pioneer...

Good innings alright, considering he outlived many that he inspired. Must learn the intro to Jonny B Goode properly now.

Played it at a gig today. Tribute complete.

Johnny B Goode good night.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...
