That Twilight cookout we choose you to know more. For our final Chuck Berry guitar intro example, we're going to take a look at the way he kicks off a song called u two and u two while you space Tw O is a real jazzy kind of song and I'll show you some of the chord chord progression. Here's a little bonus in this lesson. The intro is really interesting starts out with this kind of E minor based riff. And it goes like this. It's in the key of G and we're going to play this and that is the lucky uses to start the song.
So this is an E minor, all I'm doing is using my first finger and getting the fifth, fourth and fifth strings together. And I'm getting them twice. Then I'm going to the double stop and G Which is on the third fret first and second string. So we got this. Then I'm gonna go back to that E minor base, and then to this chord, which is a D flat seven. So we've got this.
Whoops. And then we're just gonna go right to D seven. So the answer goes like this. And then he kicks into the song, right there. So let's do that again. That's what you hear.
I always loved that little introduction. I could never figure it out. I just kept listening to it. I know there's an E minor chord, so I thought E minor. And then I heard this and I knew I was onto it. So one more time The song is really needed.
A DS or a D seven Yes, this little progression goes from a D seven to a G to a G six. That's what I hear. Does this G kind of a different thing as a couple songs where he uses some more complicated chords, it's G, G seven, C, C minor, and it goes back to D something like that. And then he's got this really neat part in between where he plays the g7 c seventh and then goes to a seven he listened to it and and mess around with it. And this is one you can use it. It's kind of a puzzle to see if you can figure out the chords that he's using.
I'll give you a clue. It's it's the Sabbath g Geez sex, and then he's using what else in there? Oh, it's gonna go to a g7 c seventh played here. And then he's going to come to an a seventh as well. So those are the chords and see if you can arrange them and figure out that song. It's a great song and we're going to do a lick from that song before we get on here.
So there are a boatload of Chuck Berry song introductions, all those little riffs, all those licks, you know, those are things we learned earlier. And I'm just showing you examples. these intros are great examples to work with because it's short to the point and you can dissect them pretty easily and see how Chuck fits these licks and single string rounds and chords and all these things together. He did the same thing for solos as you do for introductions, you can also create end tags. Think of all Chuck Berry's licks like a bunch of Legos. And you could put them together and you know, infinite number of ways.
And the next section we're going to take a look at a bunch of kind of random really cool check berry licks from specific solos. That he played and we'll get into that here in just a minute.
