Watched this today. Chuck Berry is a complicated and flawed human being but mainly comes across as an intelligent likeable guy. Keith Richards says of him, "He gave me more headaches than Mick Jagger, but I still can't dislike him". And this after being told "Don't touch my amp!", and describing how despite rehearsing arrangements and keys, Berry still wandered on stage and played anything he wanted in whatever key he felt like. I enjoyed it - one of the best 'rockumentarys' I've seen.

What a guy - without Chuck none of us would be doing this.
(I've been onstage with him)
That said my very favourite part is where he and Keith Richards have the row about the amp and where Berry gets his revenge by illustrating at length how Richards is playing Carol the wrong way.
Still, he's one of the greatest poets of all time, regardless of what he did or didn't invent in terms of playing guitar.
