Now it's time to take a look at how Chuck Berry uses sliding double stops on the second and third strings, we're going to start out with the basic pattern and the key of D. When I say pattern, this is just a way to help you see how these fit together. And then if you're playing to help you figure out what you can play to make a melody, or to play a solo. So anyway, in the key of D, our pattern sounds like this. All those double stops are played on the second and third strings and they're all in the key of D. Here's our first position. D barre chord. Here's our second position, D barre chord and all these double stops we played are going to fit into both so here we're starting with that double step.

On the seventh fret, second and third strings, that is a D, we throw the fourth string and we've got a D chord. We're just taking mainly the second and third strings. And then we're going to go to this shape. Another shape we've used before as a seventh lick, but now we're going to use it as part of this double stop lick and D major. So that is on the eighth and ninth frets, using my second finger on the eighth fret of the second string ring finger on the ninth fret of the third string. I'm going to keep that pattern One, two.

And now we're in the first position blues box, the D. So second position, into the first position, go the other way around with any keyword, so if we go to C, we can find the second position C bar core Simple. Now we're going to add two more shapes to it, remember this. So we've done the pattern just like we did on the first and second strings. Remember the pattern where you keep the same position for two, two licks, we got this, one, two, and then back to these all the way to the 14th fret on the second and third string. So the whole thing again, that is our basic pattern. Now we're going to expand that and look at some variations on that as we go through some of these examples here.

Let's start out with a pretty simple tune. It's a tune called hit don't take but a few minutes which is not want to checks. You know, most memorable songs. I like it a lot. It's got a really nice set of lyrics and the guitar is simple but cool. And in that song, he plays this solo and he also plays this behind the singing Maybe we track this, I don't know.

But somebody is playing it as he sings and it just follows this pattern that follows the melody of the song. So let me try to play it for you. That's it. Everything I just played there. Let's start out. we're skipping, we don't have to play these consecutively.

So we're going from the D. Back to that second position, stop doing it again. Go to the 12th fret, second and third strings. So we got like this. Does that in a couple places in this I'm just trying to show you the basic pattern and then He's going to go which is really playing over the a seventh chord, which is the five and the song. So this is an A, there's an a double stop, a seven double stop. So he's playing, just playing those two licks, and then he's gone from the 12th to the 14th fret on the second and third string and bringing it back down to that second position, listen to his tune it don't take but a few minutes and see if you can get that solo down.

And that is a great way to practice the basic positions of the double stop slides on the second and the third strikes.
