Today I want to share 3 essential Chuck Berry-style blues guitar licks with you. These 3 licks will give you immediate insight into some of his signature guitar moves, including tricks like staccato bends, double-stops, and repetitive phrases.

All of these licks are in the key of Bb major. But once you get them down, you can move them to any key you want by simply changing the fret they start on.

So make sure you’re tuned up and let’s get started!

Lick # 1

Lick #1 starts off with a quick bend on the 8th fret of the 3rd string. Here we are right away going to be a signature Berry technique, staccato bends. A staccato bend is a bending technique where the bent note is played with short and distinct, separated articulation.

So instead of sustaining the bent note, it is played briefly and quickly released, creating a crisp and punchy effect. The staccato bend adds rhythmic emphasis and can be used to create a dynamic and expressive playing style. This note is going to be bent up a whole step (2 frets).

Then right after the bend we will play the note F twice on the 6th fret of the 2nd string.
