The rain water blowin' all under my hood I know that I was doin' my motor good..
while rock and roll is in known for white guys trying to sound black, Chuck invented rock and roll by imitating and mocking white country music. it's hard to imagine what we would be listening to today without Chuck. Perhaps the greatest influence on popular music and music in general than anyone in history. Rollover Beethoven.
He didn't invent R&R but made it popular for whites....Rocket 88 is said to be the first real R&R song in 1951 .Chuck did make the guitar lead the R&R signature...There are songs from the late 40 that also have R&R elements https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gbfnh1oVTk0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_lqJk5JzeA

I was debating whether or not it was too soon to "celebrate" Chuck's freaky side.
I might disagree, Rockin 88 and Rock Around the Clock were earlier than Chuck. But Ike and Haley's bands had horns and saxes, Chuck was all guitar and keys- like a country western band.
You are correct about the C/W guitar influence...but it's the lead and rhythm beat that makes it R&R, not the actual choice of instruments...In my opinion...
I'll quote Mark Knopfler .....They don't give a damn about any trumpet playin' bandIt ain't what they call rock and roll
