Another type of double stop that Chuck Berry uses in the first position blues box is what I call an E position, double stop. It's one that you hear typically and blues both acoustic and electric, played in the key of E. And what it basically is is a seventh double stop. So let's let's take a look. This is the key of E. and blues. A lot of times you hear them play something like this. Listen to lightning Hopkins or even some Robert Johnson stuff.

I think the original sweet home Chicago uses something like that lightning Hopkins did this a lot. Jimmy Rogers, who was a electric blues player in Chicago about the same time Chuck Berry was recording for chess, that Jimmy Rogers plays on. A lot of Chuck Berry records, rhythm guitar, and he would Looks like that. T bone Walker is something like that. But he did it out of a first position blue Xbox, which is what Chuck Berry did. So let's say we've got the key of G. And you can do something like this to get that same lick instead of playing it.

In E, we're going to play it in G. And how do we do that? We go right here. And how do we know this? Well, right here, that is a g double stuff. First finger, I can use second and third fingers. My first finger is on the third fret of the second string, second finger on the third fret of the fourth string.

That's a G, if you move that up, 3123. You got g seven. Maybe you've heard a Stevie Ray Vaughn song where he does something like that, that kind of lick and that's a typical, like old timey electric blues lick. So anyway, three, and we've got a V seven and Chuck Berry would take this on. Blue sheet here something like this. Chuck Berry would play looks like this is a term called school day where he uses this leg quite a bit moves back and forth between the first position blue Xbox licks and that seventh flick, which technically is in the first position, blue Xbox, it's one that you know, it's right around there.

And it's one that Chuck Berry used quite often. So how do you find it? Let's say we're in the key of B flat. There's my B double stop the flat double stop 123 A, B flat, B flat seven. You're in the key of C. Here's C. C says cset. Sometimes Chuck Berry would just play this kind of like this.

Mustang Ford on the guitar brakes, he just keeps that double stop going. And that's another idea that Chuck Berry incorporated into his style of playing. I have a few examples tabbed out for you. And that's just a double stop. Lick played in the first position blues box and that's one that Chuck Berry used quite quite a bit.
