Another technique that Chuck Berry used quite a bit was a combination of licks where he was using that seventh lick that I just showed you. So let's use the key of C as a reference. So this lag and he would do these licks where he would use that and then go back into a lick in the first position, blue Xbox. What I'm talking about, I got a couple examples for you. One is from the song Carol, and it's in the key of C. And the first verse I think it is he does this lick toward the end of the first verse where you play something like this or something like this. Where I'm playing that seventh leg.
The first position blue Xbox. So let's take that last one. We're going to start We're going to be going from the 10th and 11th frets on the second and third strings and we're going to slide picking both strings downstroke getting both of them to the 11th and 12th frets. Then I'm going to go to the 10th fret of the second and third strings and get that so it's like this. This is my first finger on the eighth fret, hammering on to the ninth fret third string and also picking the second string. So he did this.
You could pick it more than once. Or you can wrap it up like this. Where instead of going to that I'm coming back to my see or my route, which is the 10th fret of the fourth string. So we've got this Something like that, or both are pretty common Chuck Berry licks. There's another tune also in the key of C, called beautiful Delilah not one of checks, greatest tunes, but it's got some pretty cool guitar in it. And during the break between versus he plays something like this.
Instead of playing, he plays the cord, which is kind of a neat idea. Now there's another example of the tune called baby doll which is in the key of E flat oh baby doll, where he does something like this. Where he kind of climbs the other way, going from the first position blues back to that seven foot which would be an E flat seven. So I'm just doing the same finger position. But I'm going the other way, I'm doing the hammer on to the 13th fret, second and third string, the seventh E flat seven, slide and back again. I think what you should see here is several different ways where you can combine that little double stop lag with some of the other licks that we've learned so far in the first position blues box.
Again, listen to Carol. There's a few examples of this there. And then also the other example that I mentioned was the Tim beautiful Delilah slipped my mind for a minute. So there's another example of some cool check berry stuff that you can play in the first position, at least box in about any key
