Best Answer

Primarily rhythm (ie. strumming) guitar, however he also played bass and taught the man who played bass on the original "Rock Around the Clock" how to play. He also played lead guitar for the band on several occasions when the group had no full-time guitarist, most notably on the Milton Berle Show and the movie Round Up of Rhythm.
