Here's how to play Rock Around The Clock by Bill Hayley & his Comets from the 50s! I love the early rock n roll genre, and this is one of the songs that started it all!
This song is a 12 bar blues in the key of A and has just three chords; A major, d major and E major. We will also cover how to play the 7th versions of these chords A7, D7 and E7 so add an authentic blues/ rock n roll vibe just like the original!
