Now we're going to take a look at how Chuck would vary that same double stop slide pattern on the first and second strings, how he would vary it when he would play it over the forecourt, which he often did. And we're going to start out by looking at the guitar solo in almost grown in the key of G. And in that tune, he starts out the solo in the first blues box. back we're gonna look at that lick a little bit later. But then when this goes over the C or the four, he plays this variation on the double slot, double stop slide. Really neat. And what I'm doing here, normally if I'm in the key of G, what I would do is start The second position, G bar chord.
But if you take this lick here, the double stop and you do that you take off the ring finger and put the second finger on the 11th fret. That's where you're going to start this. This is a little different than watch how I do the pattern he's going from here. So the pattern changes a little bit when he goes over the over the forecourt, so instead of playing difference, slightly different because he mixed up the pattern. So I have this sorted out for you. And this is something you could memorize, but if you're playing over the four, we'll see another example of this here in a minute.
We're gonna start with this shape. And then we're gonna go to that shape on the Eighth and 10th frets, keep that shape, sixth, and eighth fret, we go back to that check first finger on the fifth fret of the first string, second finger now on the sixth fret of the second string, but then we don't keep this for two like we did in the first first example. Instead, we go right back over what would be the C or the second position barre chord in the song with the first finger on the third fret of the first string, ring finger now on the fifth fret of the second string. Then he goes a little double stop lick to get back to the one. So let me play that for you again. That is an example of how Chuck Berry would play these these double stops slides a little bit differently.
Now in the tune House of blue lights that we mentioned earlier, this is also in the key of See, he does something similar and he starts out the solo. This is the second solo. So he starts out he goes and he goes back to the one. So the whole Solo is double stop slides in the key of C. So when he starts that second one look at this. He's kind of start just like we did and almost grown. Remember, we started with that shape.
Over the second position, bar chord, the song is in G. So this is our second position, G bar chord. This is the one and what he's going to do this time, the song House of blue lights is in C. So he's going to start over the second position barre chord. So what he's going to do is start right there. He's gonna go to this shape, which he would normally go to. So if he was playing over the one remember he do this. But now over the four, he's gonna skip that and start with this.
But from this point on, he's gonna go back to the pattern, watch this. See how I did that? watch it again. So I've got this one, each played one. So then I go back to that pattern of to see if that makes sense to you. He mixes it up.
It's not the same in every song, but it's basically there's a logic to it. There's a code, you can figure out a pattern that you can identify and then we'll help you figure out or create what you want to play. If you're playing it your way or figure out what textbook If you're trying to copy something Exactly. So the main point of this lesson is when he plays those double stops over the four sliding double stops on the first and second string so often start out with this shape over the second position, barre chord and when he plays it, he'll mix up the pattern he plays it differently. Listen to almost ground, look at my my tab and go back over this lesson. And then also listen to the hustle blue lights, the second guitar solo and see if you can pick up on those those very subtle differences.
Now we're going to see some more here and the lessons coming up.
