Lesson number 87 we're gonna look at the lick that Chuck Berry uses to kick off his solo and his version of St. Louis Blues. And I've got a bonus like for you, it's just too good to pass up. So the opening lick in St. Louis Blues go something like this combination of things we've learned so far. So we got this, Ron that he uses a lot to go into these double stops, but instead of going here, like he normally does, he's gonna go to this and then he's gonna go here. So from the eighth fret, first and second strings, ending up on the 10th fret of the third string, we got that that double stops With the combination of double stops, check the tab on 10th fret eighth fret. First like the place to lead into the solo and St. Louis Blues.

Let's do it again slowly. Now later in the same solo, he does this really cool lick that combines some bass string, double stops along with some bendy and double stops. You play something like this. See if I get this right. Something like that. Really neat.

I've got it tapped out for you. So he's going with this double stop. fret third and fourth strings bouncing to the 10th fret of the fourth and fifth strings. He does that he's gonna go to the eighth fret of the second and third string 123 he's gonna do this band where he's bending up on the 10th fret of the second and third strings real slow and then releasing back into that leg. So let's try the whole thing all together. Something very close to that, but the idea of combining the bass string with those that bendy double stuff that's always like that like a lot.

So those are two examples of Chuck Berry licks from St. Louis Blues. And that was lesson number 87.
