Lesson number 42 we're going to take a look at one last really cool check berry idea something he does in his instrumental to Liverpool drive in the KFC. He plays these really bizarre. I call them bizarre ascending and descending double stop licks and he moves them around different strings. He's in the KFC. But he plays like this. Let me try to put this together for you.

I'm gonna play it about half speed so I can get it right. He does that toward the beginning of the song. And he also does at the very end and I first heard that when I was in high school, I saw Oh, no, what is he doing there? And I honestly could not figure it out. A long time to really think about it and understand that this idea he's used before and and we've seen this in some of his turnarounds and other things. So I just had to make the connection there.

So in Liverpool drive, I think it's a second solo. He started out with this like like this. I've got that tabbed out for us. It's really cool because it double stops. Any winds up here, this is our first position, C bar chord and he's gonna put his pinky and ring finger on the eighth fret, first and second strings. And the first finger is anchored on the fifth fret, seventh fret and then dropped in the second finger on the sixth fret.

That's the first one. Now he's gonna take those fingers and move that he's going to put the pinky now on the 10th fret of the third string. And he's going to put the first finger on the seventh fret of the fourth string, and he's going to do the same thing, but this time he's going up instead of down. So now I'm starting from the seventh fret, I'm putting my second finger on the eighth fret, ring finger on the ninth fret, and then moving to the 10th fret. So we got this. That's he plays it really fast.

I don't think I could play it that fast and play it comprehensively for you, I think I'd lose you. So anyway, got these two strung together. Now he's gonna shift this fingers and the pinky is gonna go on the eighth fret of the fourth string and the first finger on the fifth fret of the third string, and now we've got, actually he's getting the third and fourth string. Now we're walking down again to removing the pinkie from the eighth fret. sticking the ring finger on the seventh fret of the fourth string, second finger on the sixth fret, so we got right there. So it's from eight, sorry, eighth fret, seventh fret, sixth fret, fifth fret.

Now he's gonna take that shape and just move it over a string and do the same thing. And that shape we've seen this before. Remember that with the N tag for no particular place to go, he uses that as a as a in tag slash turnaround. So we've got this whole thing so far. wraps it up with what I think is a single string, first fret of the fifth fret fifth string. Boom, first fret of the fifth string, open fifth string, fourth fret of the sixth string, third fret so we got this.

Play that for you one more time I'll try to play the whole solo verse starting with this lick this one. He started in a D position, double stop, C, D shaped C, go into the add in the first string 13th fret. Go into the 15th fret first and second strings. Seventh eighth fret, I think there's a little thing on the 16th the 17th or something like that. Then it comes back over here are down here. Like Nate can't play it, but I can show you what he's doing.

But ever play that with a band or play it live and have a reason to learn it. But just so you understand if you hear it on Chuck Berry's records, and you want to know what he's still on, I just saw that throw this one and I was pretty proud of myself for figuring it out. So I gotta gotta tell somebody. So now we're going to move into the next section of this lesson series and we're going to take a look at the licks that Chuck Berry uses to kickoff his his many songs.
