Transcript

The third break goes something like this. That's a little different. In fact, he goes away from this pattern for one verse, He plays something different. Let me try to play it one time for you. Probably the hardest, I think the hardest stuff time and the whole song. And I'm not gonna worry about me playing it smoothly.

I'm going to show you what he does. So when he gets to the stop, he goes into this seventh g7 flag and you hear that he's gonna slide from the front The sixth fret to the sixth and seventh. He's playing it faster. He does it again. Now four times he's gonna go before he slides to the C, seventh double stop, which is the 11th and 12th frets, and you got to get the time and you got to get the stop and then slide 12341234 whoops, hit right there on the one. That's what he's doing.

And then from here, he's gonna do these double stuff. What I'm doing is playing over the core, so here's a C, C, 710 fret, C, double stop, eighth and ninth fret, so he just does the same pattern. He doubles up the strokes of the pic goes over the ones Now for the five, he's gonna go to the D. He doesn't play the D seventh double stop, and he goes back to the C seven and then the G seven. That's what he's doing. Let's try to play that whole section one more time. So this one is the one I always found the hardest, especially getting the timing.

So we got and there we have the end of the third verse for Chuck Berry's guitar Boogie compared to that last verse, the rest of the way is pretty smooth sailing. And in fact, in the fourth verse, He plays something really good. Pretty easy and very cool goes like this. Mary had a little lamb he did that before with Jojo gun, but he played it on the second and third strings. So here's what we're doing double stop over the second position G bar chord, first and second strings moving on to the eighth and the D position g which is the seventh and eighth. So walking it back 123 and now we've got 12th and 13th frets 10th and 12th and then we're staying on the eighth and we end on that D shaped G chord, first and second string.

Let me play that again slowly for you. back into the to the next step time guitar Boogie Boogie baseline which is always been one of my favorite Chuck Berry lines to play and it goes like this. Really neat. What we're doing is starting out in G, the fifth and sixth strange is that first barre chord bogie position, doing it twice. Now, we're going to go to the sixth and seventh fret of the sixth string that to the fifth fret of the fifth string and then seventh fret, fifth fret, fifth string, fifth fret fourth string, check the tab. twice and the third time we're going to get to the fifth seventh fret of the fifth string twice, then to the fourth string, fifth fret now we're going to do this.

So we're walking from the fourth string, fifth fret 875 on the fifth string. So it's that six, seven on the sixth string, third fret of the sixth string, which is our one RG. I think he just lets it open. Even though it doesn't really fit in there. He just does that because he goes right into that into the court. So let me play that stop time.

Stop, break slowly. Really neat stuff. Now when you're picking That right hand technique, you've got to use up and down strokes to be able to play that quick enough to keep it in time. That might take some practice. So that's the next stop break for Chuck Berry's guitar Boogie. The seventh stop time verse for Chuck Berry's guitar bogey goes like this.

And then he goes into all courts and some sliding courts. And this I haven't, you know, I can't say with 100% certainty that this is exactly how he played it, but I think I'm pretty close. This first part, he's got a second position, G bar chord and it's just going back and forth. Between the G and the F. And that F, I hear a little slide down the neck, because then he comes back with something like that, where he's just keeping the barcode shape, sliding it from maybe the third and fifth, which is a C to the G. Listen to the recording and see what I'm talking about. So we've got this this part right here I hear where he's sliding from the 12th fret, second barre chord position to the 10th fret. So he's gone from the G to the F. And then he's gonna come all the way to the fifth fret.

Pick strong down and slide. Actually, it's strong, strong again and slide like that. So we've got and what I think is going on here is he's using downstroke Right there because you hear the bass strings, it's more of a basic thing. So we got this hard to do like that, and then he's right back into the, into the tent. So I'm gonna play that whole verse one more time slowly for you. That's kind of hard to move that quickly.

And get into that slide the way he did it, but that's what he's doing. So anyway, that's the seventh verse for guitar Boogie. Now the eighth verse is pretty simple. And I'm gonna leave this one up to you to figure out on the G and then move it to the B flat. Do the same thing on the see the flat And then go back to that. It takes it around five for one and then there's an N tech and I'm going to show you the N tag along with the introduction and in Lesson number 70.

So you take all those links, put them together, and you've got Chuck Berry's guitar Boogie, which is one of my, one of the songs that really inspired me to want to play guitar. I heard it on his golden decade album, Volume Two, when I was probably about eighth ninth grade, and I always loved the song
