Transcript

In this lesson we'll learn yet another one of the essential Chuck Berry licks. And this is what I call an eight position band, or a second barre chord band. And let's use the key of G. And there's a tune called Sweet little rock and roller that Chuck plays and he uses this as a fill this lick is a film it goes like this. probably heard that one before. What I'm doing is I've got my first finger on the 10th fret of the first string, and my second finger on the 11th fret of the second string, the first finger is staying put, and the second finger is bending. How do you know where to play this?

Well, here's my first position g barre chord, there's my second position G bar chord. That's what you look for. And within that you play that lick first and second string. And that is the the lucky plays and sweet little rock and roll, we place it as a Phil between verses and then as the song is baby now he's playing that as well. Now he would use that lick in a number of different keys. And one of the most famous examples is from his 10 no particular place to go.

And I'm not sure if I'm right about this, but I think when he kicks off the first solo, he plays that same leg, we're still in the key of G. But he plays a little differently plays that kind of like this. where he's bending kind of picking up and down rapidly picking and he's bending the second string letting off bending the first example He's gonna find the second string, and then pick the first string. In no particular place to go. It sounds like picking them both at the same time. If you get on YouTube and you see different people doing guitar lessons for the song, all of them play it differently, but I don't think they got it right when I hear that guitar lick, I hear that band, whether he's playing it like this with two fingers or somewhere else, I don't know. But I'm sure he's playing it.

Because I hear the string bending, listen to it yourself the first solo and see what you think. So that's that same leg just picked differently. Now there's another tune in B flat route 66 where he combines the slick so he's a B flat. So a B flat. There's my second position B flat barre chord. There's my lick right there.

And Chuck Berry kicks off, I think a second solo in the song. He does. Something like this. And so he's combining that band with the double stop, which is really just the bottom or the top part of that. B flat barre chord 15th fret second and third strings primarily. So he's gonna band three times on that on that core.

Or you might just get the third string like that, which is more of a bluesy, Freddie King was that electric blues guitar player, he used that lick. So, so what this is it's a band, which is played over the second position barre chord. And most of the time when you hear this it's being played over the one. So in G He's playing it over the second position G bar chord. There is an example I can think of a Chuck Berry tune is his version of little Richards rip it up. And in that solo, he actually goes to this letter and he plays it over the four which is a C songs in G do that very often, but he does do it and it does work you can do it.

In fact later he has a he does more with this lick and won't we'll take a look at this and one of our miscellaneous Chuck Berry liquor lessons. So anyway, there you have another one of Chuck's basic licks, bendy in a shape and then the key of G. Listen to the tune sweet little rock and roller, listen to no particular place to go. And then those in route 66. There's an example of him playing that same lick in the key of B flat. He doesn't see and lots of other places too.
