In this lesson, we're going to take a look at yet another variation of this double stop slide pattern on the first and second strings. We're going to stay in the key of C. And we're going to look at an example from the second guitar solo in Chuck Berry's my Mustang Ford, one of the songs he cut in the mid to late 60s. It's a really cool song. And in that song, he plays this variation. And let me just play it for you out of context. And what he's doing is he's playing over the four so most of the songs over the the solo starts out over the one.
Please, that licking? in there somewhere. Now what I'm doing is I'm starting from the 12th and 13th Brett's in this position, so I'm not using those two I'm starting from right here, which is really a short or an abbreviated version of this, which is a D shaped C chord. So if I take my D, my normal D chord and I move it to the 12th and 13th frets, that's a D, that's a C rather. There's a C first position barre chord. So what he's doing is starting really when he's still on the one that he's sliding in to this, which is mostly being played over the four.
I'm gonna show you this little pattern here. This is another one of these patterns. This is this may be goofy. This is not very musical, but this is how I you know, it's a non musical. Train person. This is how I understand what Barry's doing so I can do it, too.
Let's look at the C chord. And the song Mustang Ford is in the key of C, the four chord is an F. So this f double stop is right there. So I got my first finger on the eighth fret first string, ring finger, 10th fret second string. And there's a pattern here look at this pattern. And that is a pattern. Chuck Berry is a lot in blues.
Sometimes you can be played in different places on the guitar, playing these double stops over the four so what he's doing here he's not playing Part. This is an f7 here's an AF, double stop if we take it 123 f7 skipping that, and he's going from so it's still in C so he's gone from the D shaped C. Keep going and then he comes back with the blue Xbox. So when you hear Chuck Berry songs and you hear a song like Mustang Ford, or Betty Jean, or I'm talking about you or any of the many songs where he plays these kinds of licks on the first and second strings, first thing figure out where is he starting from? And that's what I'm trying to show you here. He doesn't always start it over the second position bar court, like I showed you in the first couple examples here, he's starting over the C or the D shaped C chord.
And when he does these, he almost always winds up back in the first position blues back somehow one way or another. So listen to the song, my Mustang Ford. And he does he does two or three guitar solos in this. I'm pretty sure this isn't the second solo and you'll see what I'm talking about. Keep in mind you're using the same shapes, but again, slight variation on the pattern.
