Chuck Berry's introductory guitar riff and solo on Johnny B. Goode is the foundational statement of rock and roll guitar. The double-stop bends, the rhythmic drive, and the showmanship encoded in every phrase created the template every rock guitarist from Keith Richards to Eddie Van Halen built upon. NASA included Johnny B. Goode on the Voyager Golden Record as a representation of Earth's music.
