Third, check bury lack basic lick in the first position voicebox is actually kind of a combination of legs more of a pattern. And I'm going to reference a couple tunes. The first one is around and around, which we talked about before in the key of B. And during that song when he starts singing the chorus of the song, the guitar lick that he plays over the top goes like this, which is really cool. And so that little pattern Chuck Berry uses all the time and he plays it in different ways. So let's learn this is our third little third example of what you can play in the first position blue Xbox key of B.
The first lick is one we've just learned first and second string, seventh fret, and then he's gonna go to the ninth fret second fret strikes another double stop. Then he's gonna put his first finger on the seventh fret, second and third strings, and hammer his second finger onto the eighth fret of the third string. And he's gonna pick down and get both the third and the second string. This is a double step. So we've got this or like this. And then back to that.
So the whole lick goes like this. Pretty cool. That, you know, if you could only play one thing on the guitar, and that was it, this might be the lick you wanted to play. At least for me, it would be true. It's so much fun to play that lick. Just rocks.
Now, you can take that same lick and play it in different ways by varying the rhythm and the accent on each one of the double stops. Let's look At no particular place to go, which is in the key of G. And in that tune one of the solos he takes that same lick, but he plays it like this where he's just playing it faster and the tin no particular place to go. It's more of an up tempo tempo. So what I'm doing here is starting with that same leg, then go into the fifth fret, second and third string. Still doing that hammer on from the third fret to the fourth fret on the third string and second string. And then back to this.
Something like that. Listen to the solo and no particular place to go and you'll hear what I'm talking about. So that little idea, that pattern that you see there and around and around, no particular place to go. That's really important. That's one of these building blocks that Chuck Berry uses, and some Different ways to create his wonderful solos. He uses that lick in his introductions and we'll see this many times before we're finished here.
So make sure you get that one down and like everything else I show you make sure you can play it in at least the keys that Chuck Berry used, which I have listed in the handouts. So that is our third example of a classic or basic check bury lick in the first position blues box.
