Chuck Berry
The architect of rock 'n' roll guitar. Chuck Berry's double-stop intros, bent-string licks, and driving rhythm — cut at Chess Records in Chicago on a Gibson ES-350T through a cranked Fender tweed — became the vocabulary every rock guitarist learned. 'Johnny B. Goode' is the Rosetta Stone of the electric-guitar solo.
