Learning how to play double stops in all forms, all over the guitar fretboard was one of the best things I ever learned. Suddenly I felt like I understood the guitar better, music theory more, and could play much more interesting, dynamic guitar solos in blues, rock, funk, soul, RnB and more! In this guitar lesson we'll go over how to play the three most common types of double stops in electric guitar: blues, thirds, and sixes.

On our Patreon group we will have all the tabs plus lots more double-stop guitar licks and other lessons that will take your guitar solos to the next level and help you to understand music and the guitar fretboard on a deeper level.

    Really like how this matched some very basic things I (and most of us) already know.. into something only slightly larger but then SO practical and useful.. and in each section it's immediately shown how to use each in a cool and versatile way. And really appreciate the laid back 🇨🇦 (it seems to me) style. Subscribed for sure.

    Great lesson. May I add that double stop “6ths” are picked out of a 3-5-1 triad. In this case the 3—1 is an inverted M3-1 or hence a m6th referred to commonly as a 6th. You can also pick ‘em out of 5-1-3 triads. Use the 5—3 pair. Use the 5 as your reference point to travel up and down the diatonic scale in correct intervals like you do for the root (1). The importance of knowing your triads and picturing them about the root on all four string sets. Picking them out this way gives you the correct version of the 3rd (major or minor) depending on the chordal key harmony.

    Listening to double stops in records, I used to think the guitarist was double-tracking. Thanks for explaining so well!

    Yes!!! Can't wait to watch this and put it into practice! Hoping to incorporate some of those great George Benson double stops into my repertoire!

    As I like to say about Blue...he has launched my skill-set into space! Two weeks ago 3rds and 6ths were a foreign language. Now I can use them readily. Think it's time I return the love and join the patreon.

    Blue, I’ve been eagerly waiting for you to drop this blues double stop video. If searched yt for them but clearly their lessons don’t have the choice demos yours do.
