During the solo, Berry relentlessly churns out the same one-measure lick over and over throughout the chord changes; while playing the IV chord he switches from an F formation to a ninth chord formation, but few notes are changed. Notice the rhythmic variation of the standard backup lick during the chorus.

Berry presented it to Leonard Chess as IDA RED, his variant of a hillbilly tune, with a rockabilly beat. Chess suggested a “bigger beat” and (according to pianist Johnny Johnson) chose the name MABELLENE from a popular hair cream (prior to recording Berry had been a hairstylist). Notice the distorted guitar sound; Berry was playing a fat hollow-body Gibson ES-350T. Later records featured a clear- er sound with reverb added. The country-style backup — root in the bass/chord — fifth in the bass/chord — is also atypical.
