Yeah. Our second Chuck Berry lick in the first blue Xbox is another one that he uses all the time. And I'm going to start out in the key of B flat, and I'm going to show you the lick approximately as it's played in the tin called 30 days. And he uses this life to kick off a solo. And I'll show you the whole thing when we get to some of the take off licks for Chuck Berry solos, and he plays this leg. Where I'm going from this double stop here to that first one that we learned and what I'm doing is playing over the first position blues box, and I'm putting my pinky on the ninth fret of the first string.
And my ring finger on the eighth fret of the second strategy is to stabilize that lick and to give you some control, you're going to put Your first finger on the sixth fret and get the first and second strings and then put those other two fingers down. probably heard this one before t bone Walker played it like this as a diminished chord, but jack Jesse is the first two strings. Now this leg he often uses in conjunction with that first lick that we learned. So we got something like this. Something like that we're going back and forth between that lick and that lick. And just like all these other links that we're going to learn here, these are movable.
Another example that I have for you is from a tune called Ramona say yes, which is one of chucks later recordings. That's an E flat e play something like this. Not sure exactly what the melody or the rhythm of that is, is can't remember everything. But he's an E flat so there's a first position, E flat bar chord My pinkies on the 14th fret of the first string, my ring finger is on the 13th fret of the second string, and my first finger is on the 11th fret first and second strikes. Then, sometimes they'll do a little something with that lick no particular place to go in the key of G. During one of the solo breaks, he does something like this. Where he plays that lick and G first position blue Xbox Pinkie, on the sixth fret of the first string, ring finger on the fifth fret of the second string, first finger on the third fret.
And what he does is as he's picking up, he's bending up with his Pinkie and his ring finger and then letting it come back down. So he's playing that lick, but he's bending that he's doing something to it, just like 30 days when we get to that solo, he's gonna double it up. Play it with a different Right hand approach. And so you can take that simple lick and play it in so many different ways. And again, that's the genius of the Chuck Berry guitar style, is how he took all these simple licks, and then fit them together over and over again in different ways to create, you know, different kinds of solos different ideas. So anyway, that is our second Chuck Berry like so so far, we're in the key of B flat, we got this one.
Just a double stop on the first and second strings. We've got the rolling into this. And then we've got this, combined with this, or by itself. Lots of different ways you can do that. So that is our second basic or really elemental Chuck Berry lick.
