I thought I saw my future bride walking off the street. Next lesson, we're going to take a close up look at Chuck Berry song, the dean in the key of B flat. And he uses a very unusual rhythm, pattern rhythm, riff in this song, and actually two of them. And so let me play through the first verse of the song and show you the first rhythm pattern that we're going to figure out. Go something like this to be flat. So we're going to be playing this riff over the B flat second position barre chord.

Really fun to play. looks hard, but it's really not. So what I'm doing is playing over the first position, second position B flat bar core. And I start out with two strokes on just the base strength, the fourth and fifth string. Then I'm going to downstroke kind of a choppy downstroke and get the second, the third, second and first strings actually fourth, third and second strings. You don't get the first string on this, so it's like this.

And then right away, we're gonna go to the fourth fret of the sixth string once and then to the first fret of the sixth string. And then back to the fourth, fourth fret. So we got that. Right here, I think he's just letting go of that and that's where you get that beat. I don't think he's getting an open A string in there because it wouldn't fit it's in B flat. So I think he's doing that I'm using my right hand palm to kind of mute things a little bit and keep the strings from ringing.

Now when the song goes to the four, I'm just moving that shape to the E flat between the sixth and the eighth fret. Playing the exact same thing, this time by basis between the ninth and the sixth frets. Back to the one. Then when it goes from the five to the four to the one, he's just playing the second position barre chord, F. E flat back to that. So that's what you hear throughout most of the song maybe now, several times, like three times he goes into this kind of stays on the one and sayings and he what he's doing Here's a riff kind of like this and it's over the first position, B flat bar coordinate something like this. played out like that.

I need to get the frets filed on this guitar because I can't get that sound out of that's kind of a hammer on pull off. I do it without the bar. still kind of hard to do, but I hear I hear a little bass in there. So I think what he's doing is holding that first finger barring at the sixth fret, this would be a first position B flat barre chord, and then he's hammering on the second finger to the seventh fret of the third string. And then flattening out the ring finger on the eighth fret, second and third string. So it's like this.

In between, here's just a little base in there. I don't know if he's sliding the cord, strumming the bass you listen to it, see what you think. But he's doing something there. That's what he's playing are trying to play. And then there's no solo in the tune. There's no n tag it just fades out at the end.

So those are the rhythm parts for Chuck Berry song ne D, which is one of my favorite Chuck Berry songs to play just because this is so so different.
