Mr Chuck Berry

He's got that rockin swagger going on.

Check out the two Marshall heads at around 3:37 on the floor.
I know he used tweed bassmans and saw him use em and other amps,
but these may be JTM 45's.

Enjoy-

When I was a kid, I thought he was the koolest.
Slingin' the guitar around with-fun-to listen songs made a good impression on me.
(A little Elvis too for that matter...)
I didn't know anything about guitar just know that alot of hollywood mimicked his "stuff".
He probably influenced my thoughts about playing an instrument without even knowing I wanted to play guitar.
There were soo many others but he stood out with his *stage presence.
*The old school that new school uses...

WoW!!! Nice Jimi J thats a Hot looking amp.

I just dropped off a 30ish Puerto Rican Girl ( first date) that might look a little hotter in black. I bet she breaks up smooth too.

Yes, Chuck is a reeal good foundation base to work from. It feels so right
that its tempting to stay put there in those rythums. Keith Richards knows
real well., beat / backbeat. Since I've been here in PR the latin beat ( not
that there isn't Latin / Jamacian music and all that in Brooklyn
where I live) is all around and it gets in your system.
I don't know if this makes sense but it seems related, anyway...

Its good!

At 1:57 in the video it looks like either a Marshall 4x10 or a black tolexed
late 50's Bassman

Jimi James,

your amp and playing sounds really... really good!!!

I hear a nice rythum underneath some really tastefull sound.

Its an example of how much depth in talent and experience this forum has. (also Metro/Marshall equipment)

Wow! Nice!
