Palm Muted m mute p pull off Hint: Practice the intro slow at first but don't be afraid to get into it.  I've heard many versions of this song by Chuck Berry.  This is the easier version. I bet some of you are wondering "Hhmmm, Where did rock come from?" Well I'll tell ya.  It came from this guy and the black R&B community of the 50's. So hear is the song that changed it all.
