Chuck got most of his moves from T-bone.

"All the things people see me do on the stage I got from T-Bone Walker." - Chuck Berry

T-bone was Jazzier, though, and played a hollow-body with a real clean sound. Chuck added the grittier guitar sound and upbeat songs. That's what really made him rock.

T-bone even had all the rock star moves before the time of Chuck Berry or Jimi Hendrix.
