    Incredible lesson. Thank you for mentioning the notes, not just fret positions. I study music theory and think in terms of notes and scales and modes. Definitely do more content like this. Albert Lee, Craig Burton (Elvis’s guitarist) and great country players use double stops. George Harrison learned it from Carl Perkins.

      Hey thanks for the speedy comment Anthony. I've always viewed the ability to use harmony as a sign of prowess. The players who really understand the fretboard use them often and it adds so much to their lead lines. Enjoy your practice and thanks again for the positive note. -Rob

    It would be helpful if you added a discussion of intervals. What intervals are these?

    • @kamarienedwards1757
      @kamarienedwards1757 Місяць тому +1

      Major and minor thirds! It would be beneficial to learn a little bit of music theory because he shows the notes in treble clef staff

    • @greenvelvet
      @greenvelvet Місяць тому +2

      Interval of thirds always sound beautiful, and their inversions which would be 6ths.
      Think Van Morrison
      'Brown eyed Girl'
      Those are 6ths

      Can you relate double stops to the caged system?

    Do you like Ween.....they have a song that uses the C mixolydian scale that reminded me of this....

    Double stop melodies, it's probably the easiest way to stop sounding like an amateur and starts sounding like a real musician.
    They make melodies 1,000 times better

    • @swiftlessons
      @swiftlessons  Місяць тому +1

      100% agree, it’s not a super difficult thing to do, but using them takes extra preparation, confidence, and more focus than one would use sitting in a single soloing box. Thanks for sharing!

    You could also just play the harmonized double stops of the A major scale and you are essentially (E Mixolydian). I prefer doing it this way, as they are essentially the same scale minus the flat 7.

    • @Brokout
      @Brokout Місяць тому

      So for E7 if you play A major on top you get E mixolydian?

    • @Jammaster1972
      @Jammaster1972 Місяць тому

      @@Brokout Absolutely. It's known as E Mixolydian if you start on the E note and then continue the A major scale to completion. Or you could just memorize the Mixolydian scale pattern and start it on the E. 6 of one 1/2 dozen of the other. Another way to look at it is the E is the 5th note in the A major scale. If you continue an A major scale starting on E, it has the Mixolydian pattern. Enjoy!

  • @alansimpson8962
    @alansimpson8962 Місяць тому +1

    Isn't the e mixolydian the same notes as A major scale?

    • @swiftlessons
      @swiftlessons  Місяць тому +1

      It does, so anytime you’re jamming over E7, you can use all of your Amaj scale positions. This will work very well over the progression E, Bm, A.

    Why do your strings look so loose?
    I just tune my guitar per an app.

    • @swiftlessons
      @swiftlessons  Місяць тому

      It’s actually an illusion created by the camera I’m using. Of course the strings are tuned to standard pitch, but they do look wobbly. I actually kind of like it, because you can see what strings I’m picking more easily.
