Lesson 85 we're gonna take a look at the lick that Chuck Berry used to kick off his solo and the song sweet little rock and roller song we haven't talked much about so far. And this lake is really different. He doesn't really use this kind of lick anywhere else and let me play it for you one time. Really cool. what he's doing is starting out in the first blues box in G, and then he's moving up the neck to the second position G bar chord, where he's playing those licks right there. So let's take a look at the first part.

We're starting with a rake over F shaped G chord starting on the fifth fret of the fourth string, get in the fourth fret of the third string, third fret of the second string. Then we're gonna go to the fifth fret and sixth fret on the second string. Kind of a different sound, they haven't heard that combination of notes yet. And then he goes from the first third fret of the first string to the fifth fret to the seventh fret. Like that, that's that first letter. Very quickly.

He's gonna slide into that double stop, position G bar chord, first finger on the 10th fret, third finger on the 12th fret and he slides where he gets the 12th fret of the second string Before going into that, let me try to play it slowly for you one time. To play slow, you got to make that quick plays around and listen to the soul. That's the solo and sweet little rock and roller in the key of G
