Jack The Ripper by Link Wray | Guitar Lesson

Time for a look at another Link Wray track. Raw, primitive rock n roll; pretty easy to play too. Lots of fun. As usual, gear and tone info towards the end of the video.

this is a fundamental guitar lesson and will save humantiy from shredders, cork sniffers and sweep picking bluesmen for the sake of rock n roll's survival!

More Link Wray! I don't know if Link was the first to wear a black leather jacket and dark shades, but he did it best. That's rock n' roll.

'For maximum twang' is almost the most pleasing thing I've ever heard anyone say, nicked, for song album or stage name, and this is my current favourite link wary song, along with black river swamp, thanks Adrian.

[Pattamatt]

I'm a simple man, I see Link Wray as a topic, I press like

[randyhall]

Simply love your taste in music, Adrian. Every song you select is... nails.

[jacko]

"Rumble" along with "Apache" by The Shadows should be in every guitarists repertoire.
Thanks Adrian, great lesson.

Link Wray's birthday was just couple weeks ago May 2, 1929. Great choice Adrian. Thank you for the lessons.

[buddhamus]

I love this lesson. Link Wray is so overlooked when it comes to guitar lessons. Loved your playing on it. I hope you do more lessons like this one. Thank you for this.

[adamelsdon]

More of this stuff, Link Wray is totally kickass!

[reverbdave]

The Real Deal. Got to see Link back in the ‘90’s. I’m still recovering. Thanks very much for this one. All your lessons are great, but this is where I live.

[PureMadMetal]

Smashin video Adrian, I think the key word I heard was 'space' something that us guitarist's are a bit afraid of. Link Wray was a master of the 'less is more' school of guitar playing.
Good intro video to an awesome guitarist who influenced many including Mr James Page to name but one. Great video Adrian more please

[brentmc]

Published one year ago and your still teaching people like me how to play great songs…… thank you for all of your work in putting these easy to follow lessons together, , love them

[lemurdream]

Hell yes. "Rumble" is one of my favorite songs to play.
Thanks for this! I'll now have a new Link song to learn.
You da man Adrian.

[hombre-del-campillo]

On the money! Thanks for promoting the great LW. Good one for beginners to learn R&R attitude.

Years ago I remember reading a Link Wray interview in which I believe he said that his combo amp had a 15" speaker, which he said he liked to mike from across the room when he recorded. The big rounded guitar sound that gave him, you could really hear on his "Caroline" instrumental! (On his Moonlight Walk album)

[ranman]

Great playing and lesson. Probably my favorite Link Wray song. I was lucky enough to see him twice in his later years.

[fabiopunk]

That combination (and dosage) of effects is a killer Adrian!

[ricopedrajrs]

You were totally trying to hold yourself in your seat there, Adrian! Thanks for the lesson. Great playing:>)

[thejamnasium]

I got into Link's self-titled album earlier this year and personally decreed 2021 to be "THE YEAR OF LINK WRAY"

[franklinrwful]

A great example of less is more in really dramatic rock 'n roll music.
