A lesson in Guitar Techniques magazine required me to understand and recognise 3rd, 4th and 6th double stops, so I turned to UA-cam. Your video was the first I found and answered it perfectly. I look forward to practicing all these. Thank you for this!
This is a much better "double stops" lesson than (I won't mention a name). If the first thing I hear/see is an ego maniac blowing up and down the neck at a hundred miles an hour I am immediately put off by it. I know it is going to take a long time (if ever) to do what he is doing. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this great lesson. Double stops have remained a mystery to me until your lesson explained them so clearly and musically. With gratitude. Rowan.
Thank you for a great lesson - really clearly explained and well-paced. I've never incorporated double stops into my playing very effectively, but you've really inspired me to have a proper try! 👍
That’s a great video. I’d played double stops before but didn’t understand the harmonic relationship. Awesome information that opens all sorts of possibilities. Thank you very much for posting
Buddy, I've been gigging since 1965 and have played Double Stops for Decades. I want to complement you for sharing this with the folks who need this knowledge. I enjoy your playing, taste and discretion. Good job,thanks. 👍

Just came across your video. I know and play most of what you showed here but learned them by ear. Now I know what I'm actually playing/doing, thanks to your explanation. One can easily understand what you are showing. Great lesson. I will check out your other videos and will be subscribing. Thank you!
No, tabs are not needed here. He took the time to create this video at no cost to you, explains everything clearly, and demonstrates it in a video that you can rewind and slow down. But for you, that's not enough. You demand tabs. "I need tabs! Boo-hoo." Do you want him to practice for you as well? The sense of entitlement is stunning. Stop whining like a poo-butt and start working like a savage. You'll never be good because you're a lazy ingrate and want everyone to do all the work for you.
Thanks for the very clear and straight forward lesson. It seems to me that the 6ths are actually the same as the 3rds (the low notes and the high notes are just swapped). It is used in the "Brown eyed girl" solo.
Fantastic lesson here, I've been working on a song in 3rds and now you added some 6ths I can use as well! 🤣 Glad to learn the 4ths but they'll stay in my toolbox for a different song! Extremely helpful, I appreciate you boss! 😊🎼🎸🙋♂
Great stuff man! You always post top notch videos with awesome info, presented in a very understandable and immediately useful way. 👍🏻 Makes me think of Steve Cropper and Wes Montgomery in some ways.
Hi Jack, What a fabulous lesson. Why, when playing 4ths, does the fingering change on the F? I noticed that it doesn't follow the same pattern as the other notes in the diatonic scale. It looks like an augmented 4th (or one fret higher than the fourth). Thanks
Makes me feel kinda dumb. I've been goofing with these for years without thinking about playing them in position. Horizontally only. My brain must be really closed off.Thanks my man
And John Plantania, great player on Van Morrison's Moondance, Too Late To Stop Now...etc and Amos Garrett ,solo on Midnight at The Oasis and Paul Butterfield's Better Days
can the double stop 6th be considered as a double stop 3rd inversion of its relative minor chord? like C with A is 6th, A with a C is a minor 3rd? cos the first shape you showed as a C double stop 6th sounds more minor than major. or it could be just me haha.
Absolutely, when you're playing intervals that when added amount to 9 (ex a 3rd+a 6th), one is always the minor and the other major. A to C is a minor 3rd, C to A is a ''major 6th''. In practice, the 6th degree is more often referred to as 13 (and flat/sharp 13), this scale degree (not necessarily interval, a confusion that seems to be widespread in guitar videos on youtube even by experienced players) is seen as an extension more often than not.
Although he was starting with an A over a C that is actually the minor 6th of the A note in the scale. The major 6th with the C on top and E in the base is considered the major 6th.
ua-cam.com/play/PL5C7D63E116887729.html. What’s this style of spanish guitar on song 5 here? Anyone know? What intervals do they use, how do I learn to do this stuff? I know it’s a dumb question, just really like it and don’t know how to word it. Are they triads or harmonies or what?
A little tricky. I felt like I had to be aware that Dorian has a major 6th to know that the 6th above D while also diatonic to C has to be a major 6th and not a minor 6th even though D minor is the 2nd chord.
Aren't you complicating things a bit here? Everything is diatonic to C major here so no sharps or flat, no need to think in modes. When you're harmonizing your major scale in 6th and starting from the D note, your 6th is your B, no sharp no flat.
@@jfar3340 I don’t find it complicated. Yes D’s 6th is B as long as D is major or Dorian. If this was a D in the key of F or Bb then one needs to know that the 6th is now minor and would be a Bb. Not important for memorizing these shapes but still interesting.
@@RedLion88 No I'm not saying you found it complicated, I said that you're complicating things by thinking in terms of mode, which is not wrong per se. I'm going to use your example: you are harmonizing F major in 6th intervals, then when you're playing your 6th interval its D-Bb, not primarily because I know that D is aeolian in the key of F which has a flat 6, simply because I know that B is flat in the key of F major. In this case, when harmonizing a scale in a given interval, thinking in terms of key signature instead of modes for every single interval is, in my opinion, simpler.
@@jfar3340 Yes that works too, especially for C. It came quicker to me via thinking mode scale vs major scale, but this is a concept I learned 4 years ago. Initially in harmonizing the 2nd I was thinking the 6th would be minor but realized that wasn’t the case
Lots of conversation and confusion about major/minor intervals, inverted intervals and how it all works. This is because most amateur guitar players are self taught, care little about what notes they play (mostly care about shapes and playing by ''ear'' or ''feel'' wtv that means for them). All this confusion can be cleared up by studying basic music theory, the kind of music theory people learn in high school.
double stops a wonderful way for the less talented player to play "Songs" on the guitar, so much better than playing single string melodies. Learn the double stops in G and you can play hundreds of songs and sound like you know what your doing....Try Proud Mary with double notes and those 4 or 5 notes sound 100% better than just playing single string melodies.

Hey Benny. Jack is great! One of his pals in Nashville also has a channel that I go back to again and again. Guthrie Trapp. He's great too.

Nice introduction to double stops, simple yet very clear and as you said we can expand with what we just learned.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the great tips! I play thirds and sixths all the time, but I never thought about using fourths.
You bet!
Do ray me fa so la ti do!
Thank you for this great lesson. Double stops have remained a mystery to me until your lesson explained them so clearly and musically. With gratitude. Rowan.

Ha! Just listening to Hendrix, and this pops up! Can we say Double Stops? Very Cool, Jack! Always, always, always enjoy your lessons! 👍🎸✌️😎
Thanks again!
Very good and very clear lesson. Thank you

You are a blessing Jack. I will be watching every video you do. God bless you and all you love.
You make it look effortless
Super well done and clear!!!! This explanation/demonstration PERFECT for what I’m working on!!!
Great to hear!
Best video on double stops. Love it.
I have been looking for these double stops for a long time, Thank you!
That’s a great video. I’d played double stops before but didn’t understand the harmonic relationship. Awesome information that opens all sorts of possibilities. Thank you very much for posting
His YT videos make you realize that theory doesn't have to be a pain in the arse. What better place to start than harmony.

Thank you so much
Thank you for Easy-to-understand explanation.
There enough to pick up from your knowledge, but i learn most of all from your peace. Thanx!
Thank you!
GREAT LESSON JACK!!! Thanks for posting!!!
Very informative yet concise and digestible..
Please more lessons in this topic 👍..
Thank you..
Thank you, I will
thx jack for your work
this helps us all

A side benefit of this lesson is it helps you recognize intervals on the neck.
You are an awesome player and an awesome teacher! Thank you!
Masterful!
You did Cornell and Co proud there, Jack. Beautiful examples.
I could listen to you play for hours. 😉
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent instruction 9:22
Seriously smooth, and packed with technical knowledge 👍
Great lesson, very clear and easy to understand!
Great lesson for me to improve my playing. Many thanks
You're very welcome!
More instructional brilliance and a great refresher on double stops! Thank you so much.
You're very welcome!
Real nice, Jack. I hope to make it up to Nashville to see you and Guthrie both. You guys are world class players.

Yes, sixths are third inverted, just like fourths are fifths inverted.
Thanks Jake! I always get inspiration from your lessons!
Good lesson. Thanks from Madrid
Thanks!
Great lesson! And sweet guitar! I have that same color Tele, a Squier Standard series, one of my favorite guitars!
Great lesson

Another superb lessen as usual.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great tutorial. Thanks.
Thank so much for this! Can't wait to try it out.
You are so welcome!
Super clear and useful lesson.
Awesome. I always wondered how some of these sounds were achieved.
Glad I could help!
You explain well.
Sounds awesome.
This is IMPORTANT knowledge!! ☀️😃
Thank you!
I love your guitar tone, man!
Thank you!
Great lesson!!!
Just what i was looking for... thanks Jack! 🤙🏼
Happy to help!
Highly enjoy your videos, thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Love this lesson, thank you!
I’m hoping you do a lesson on your tone. 👍🏽👍🏽
Love this!
....have you ever heard of the Canadian band: the Bahamas. Worth checking out and the guitarist, Afie Jurvanan is amazing. A great lesson once again.
Thanks a lot Jack… great lesson.
My pleasure!
Thank you.
Great teacher 👏 thank you!!! It would be nice to put a picture of the scales and tabs. Awesome 👌 Thank you 🎸🎶
Beautiful
Great stuff thx! Btw, ROBIN TROWER uses 6ths on 'Too Rolling Stoned' and 'Day of the Eagle!'
Beautiful intro song
Good lesson Thanks man.

When can we expect a follow-up to 2ble stops and going deeper int this concept. Thanks Jack.
Deeper into double stops? Stack another 3rd, 4th etc on them and voila , triad
Awesome lesson! If you don’t mind me asking, what chords make up the backing track?
Will there be a follow up.....
Once again a fantastic lesson. Can I ask you to share the backing track please?
were you keeping the root on the B string? On your first example.
I've been using minor third diads in compositions for ages.
how to combine different double stops? Like 3 with 4; 4 with 6; 3 with 6?
You play really well --but tabs are needed !---Do we have to pay for them ?
When you play the fourths horizontally, shouldn't you play F and B (first string seventh fret) instead of Bb (first string sixth fret)? Thanks!
The real difficulty - is what pentatonic to use ? MAJOR OR MINOR ?-- Over what chord progression ? how is this achieved ?
Good to hear someone call them double stops. So many guitarists call them ‘chords’ which is very unhelpful IMHO.
Makes me feel kinda dumb. I've been goofing with these for years without thinking about playing them in position. Horizontally only. My brain must be really closed off.Thanks my man
Happens to the best of us
Never forget Don Felder the champion of melodic double stops within chord change.
And John Plantania, great player on Van Morrison's Moondance, Too Late To Stop Now...etc and Amos Garrett ,solo on Midnight at The Oasis and Paul Butterfield's Better Days

00:20 I just want to fly. Put your arms around me, baby.
Sooo basicaslly I have to memorise all of those positions. There's gotta be a pattern to make it easier.

I also am confused on the 4ths demo. You play an augmented note (B) above the F as commenter:@thomasdequincey1 also mentioned a month ago.
1 month ago
It’s because we’re harmonizing a scale. When you harmonize the major scale in 4ths, this is how it lays out.
Great lesson!
