Transcript

In this lesson we're going to take a look at Jack's most famous guitar intro, the one he played to start the song Johnny be good. It's in the key of B flat, and it goes like this. And that's how he starts off Johnny be good and we're in the key of B flat, and he's gonna lead into it by sliding from the fifth fret to the seventh fret on the third string, and then six, eight on the second string. And then he's gonna go to this double stuff on the first and second strings at the sixth fret and he plays 123123123 With this descending double stop lick or a single string run from the ninth fret to the eighth to the sixth on the second string and then from the sixth to the seventh on the third string and then he winds up on the eighth fret of the fourth string.

So we've got this one more time that he's gonna get. He's gonna get to this double stop here, which is really the fourth and fifth strings at the eighth fret, you can play it with one finger or two fingers. Whichever one is most comfortable. So we've got this whole thing so far. And that's what he plays. Listen to the original tune, check the tab and he's going to do this.

He's going to do this slide which is from the the HA, B flat position. And he's going to start it sounds to me like from maybe one step below the fifth and sixth frets into the sixth and seventh frets, on the second and third string, eighth fret of the second string, slide back down, sliding, sliding back from the seventh to the fifth on the third string, the third fret of the third string, the fifth fret of the fourth string. So let's try to play the whole intro to Johnny be good slowly. That's what I think is being played. They're really cool and just a little bit we'll take a look at the intro for another Chuck Berry song called it wasn't me, where he uses a very similar introduction in the key of C
