Next guitar intro is for Chuck Berry's version of Amish small burns down the road apiece. And this one I'm not sure how it's played. I think there's two guitars, Chuck Berry and Matt Murphy on this and the intro is kind of hard to play the chord part and the lead part and I'm gonna play it real slowly and show you you know, the two parts how they fit together. I think one guy, it's an E flat place this introduction, which goes like this sounds like Matt Murphy and then you hear the chord. And then you place it again. And it's kind of hard to do that just one guitar I've tried, but I keep watching it.

And it's hard to get back to the first position blue Xbox to play what comes next. So my guess is there are two guitars Matt Murphy's plan. The lead part, Chuck's plan. The cord like that. So I'm going to show you the introduction just kind of walk you through this one because it's hard to play it all by myself. So he starts out in the first position blues box.

And what I'm doing is starting on the 11th fret of the third string, hammering down to the 12th fret, getting the 11th fret of the second string and then the 11th fret of the first string and doing a little sly. And then the second guitar plays what I think is a E flat ninth chord. I thought it might be flat seven. But if you listen carefully, I think it's an E flat nine. Not getting first string at all just the second and fourth strings, maybe the fifth and then he does it again. Guitar goes again any place this And that's what's played on the, on the leaf guitar.

So what I'm doing here I'm climbing back down from the 14th to the 13th to the 11th fret on the second string. Then I'm going to the 13th fret to the 11th fret on the first track. And then doing that same climb from the 14th to the 13th. So the whole thing except like I do the slide, he's gonna go to the 11th fret, and then he got where he's gonna go 11th fret, 12th fret on the third string 11th fret of the second string, first string, and then to the 14th fret of the second string. There's a little slide out of that. So we got this.

And then on the beat, he's gonna put this cord down, which is a partial, this would be a flat knife, a flat ninth chord. You just hear this part of it. He plays a couple of riffs on that before going into the rest of the lead part. So that is how the song down the road a piece kicks off. Again, I think there's two guitars that you can try this and try to do them both. Hard to get back and keep the timing so I'm pretty sure there were two guitars playing, playing off each other here.

So we got this into the rest of the song. Really cool. And if you listen to that tune Matt Murphy plays a bunch of really cool little fill throughout the song that you can figure out using what we've learned so far. So there's another great Chuck Berry song guitar introduction
