Here is my favorite Chuck Berry song, “I Want to Be Your Driver.” The composition was recorded during his 1960 sessions for Chess Records and later included on the album Rockin’ at the Hops. It is another strong example of Chuck Berry’s mastery of blues guitar, built around sharp blues lines and clear, spunky rhythmic phrasing. This cover is my humble attempt to interpret the piece in a fingerstyle setting. Although the song follows a blues scheme related to the 12-bar form, it is actually extended to a 19-bar structure, which may seem unusual on paper, but when you listen to the original recording and follow the lyrics, the form feels natural and flows smoothly.
