James Rundle

James Rundle, known on YouTube as Rocklicks72, is a British guitarist specialising in the analysis and teaching of classic rock licks and solos. His channel is a repository of guitar vocabulary drawn directly from the greats of rock.

James's approach is eminently practical: each video focuses on a specific lick, technique or concept, broken down and explained clearly so any guitarist can learn and use it. His tutorials on the style of the great rock guitarists of the 70s and 80s are especially popular.

With decades of playing and teaching, James brings the stylistic context that makes learning a lick far more than memorising notes: it is understanding where it comes from, what makes it work and how to adapt it to your own vocabulary. An essential resource for any rock guitarist.
