[Bars 77-94] The first solo contains many of the main Chuck Berry style licks (as borrowed by Keith Richards), including double-stops based on 3rds and 4ths. The predominant harmony here is B Mixolydian rather than B Major, so the A natural (b7) crops up instead of A#, a popular rock ‘n’ roll approach when a little bluesy grit is needed in a major key. The key to this solo is repetition and rhythmic development.
