Alright I just worked this out for 2 hrs. Great concept. The way I see it is to look at it like you’re playing double stops of the “chords” in the major scale and add in the minor scale in certain places along with the major scale. But mainly the chords. Thanks!
Im an old chord strummer looking to learn some leads like these to expand my abilities. This tutorial has really given me some inspiration to practice and you make it achievable for someone new to lead like myself. Thanks a ton! New sub here!
Thanks for the tips--I've only gotten into Country music more in the last few years and I'd hear all this great stuff and wonder where it came from--well explained and I learned a few new things here! You just taught an old dog new tricks LOL! I've used double stops often in Rock and Blues for many years so this is new fun!
fantastic, i've always been a heavy metal guy but just got into playing my telecaster so this is hitting the spot. This stuff is so fun and so musical. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Like other viewers here, I'm finding this video filling a real need in my playing. It fills a gap in country guitar that many other teachers don't cover. Thank you!
Your channel is my a new favorite man! Love the sound the talent and the educational stuff here! From. An Old blues and rock guy working on adding in some country licks and tricks
I like how clear you explain this guitar licks on the guitar and technique that's behind it ; very well done . It is super practical without all the theoritic bla bla behind it. I subscibed ..........👍
Yep, don’t sleep on the flat 7! Once you start to recognize it you hear it all the time in country and blues as well. It’s part of the minor pentatonic scale so as you’re playing that scale you can make a point to land on the flat 7 there as well
Great lesson exactly I've been looking ! I hear this in every thing always trying to figure what is going on there lol. Excellent finally seeing how to get this sound thank you sir! Wow this is the stuff I've been looking for that nobody shows much 👍
Kickest assest video on the double stops I've found so far- woulda paid several dollars American for such a lesson and tabs. I screen shotted em. You're awesome- thanks, instantly going to be useful. I'm an imposter in a country band and this might convince them- keep me off their radar for a bit. Cheers
Hey thanks for asking, at this point unfortunately I don’t have any other platform for sharing this content…I’ve been considering setting up something else but haven’t gotten around to it yet
That shape of the G and bar shape is an A7 arpeggio, I'm sure you already knew that just for anyone watching. It's crazy how much of country is actually the right hand technique because I know a decent amount of theory but I don't play with a pick so I can get that snap with the high strings but that ghost note which is so essential is really hard as of right now....I also never play that fast lol. Great video, clearing up some questions I had about technique as well as cementing some theory.
Great lesson! 👍 Thank you 🙏🏼 Have always wondered about how to make the chicken pickin’ sound. Must agree with the others. This is the most comprehensive intro to double stops I’ve come across on UA-cam. Subscribed.
Love your lessons but could I make a suggestion? Could you do more of your lessons in the key of G and D? While I know A is a pretty popular key in classic country music, G is by far the most commonly used key and D is fairly common as well, especially down here in Texas, where we are still making country music. Nashville, not so much 😢 That way we can go straight into using these techniques and not have to start off with transposing these to the aforementioned keys. Just a suggestion, Thanks
Great lesson, Steve!! Wow!! Quick request, and I'm sorry if anyone here has already asked it... can you please share your signal chain? I hear a comp and delay? Maybe a little reverb? Or is that strictly the delay? And if you wouldn't mind... what do you set your delay to? Msec and mix if possible?? I know that's a weird request, but I believe a lot of what we are "hearing" comes from this setup as well as the note choices. Thanks again for the lesson!! Liked, Subbed and Shared!! 🙏
Thanks for the comment! I have a video on my channel where I go into my whole signal chain for this tone! (Look on my channel for “How to get country tone”) as far as delay goes I normally want it a little over half as loud and anywhere from 120 to 150 milliseconds
Thank you, Steve! I will certainly check your other videos in short order! I'm big fan of Guthrie Trapp and Tom Bukovac, and I see them doing stuff like this all the time, however, you have been kind enough to share this little secret with the rest of us!! I look forward to more for sure!! Cheers!!
I’ve been working on that, at this point I don’t have a platform to share files on. If you’re on Instagram you can message me on there with an email address but probably not a good idea to post it on here 😂
This guy is the best country electric tutor on UA-cam imo.

This guys got the timing nailed. Years of bad blues playing has warped my timing. This is great. Thanks for this.
Don't blame the blues. The devils music is a bully, but you gotta woodshed. Nxt you gonna say "yrs of bad country double stop pickin"... go practice.
These lessons are incredibly helpful. Thank you very much Steve!

Ty...for sharing..... Your Knowledge.... Im really into Albert Collins....and His finger pickin on Tele...and wanna learn chiken pickin..
Do it, it’s well worth the time and effort!
Thanks for explaining how the b7 works into country for this. The explanation I needed!
Yep, don’t sleep on the flat 7! Once you start to recognize it you hear it all the time in country and blues as well. It’s part of the minor pentatonic scale so as you’re playing that scale you can make a point to land on the flat 7 there as well
Great lesson. Not just for country. This lesson can be adapted
to other styles as well. Well done!!! Thank You.
Alright. I love this guy. These are some great videos! Thanks for the help.
Thanks, I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos!
well made lesson Steve. Clear explanation and really helpful tabs. Many thanks. Keep up the great work.
Thank you, Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic lesson - the best - and great to mention Brent and Johnny
Finally someone who can make double stops sound good!
Excellent lesson. Thank you. Could do with further double stop lessons from you, certainly will add to my soloing. Again thanks.
I’ll try to keep them coming 🤘
The muted note is what I was missing. Thank you!
Thanks, Steve... That was the breakthrough I needed. It was in front of my face the whole time but I never connected the dots.
Thanks. Never thought of the dead note, make's a lot of scene sonically. Good job.
The dead note can make or break the country sound…don’t underestimate it!!
Great lesson exactly I've been looking ! I hear this in every thing always trying to figure what is going on there lol. Excellent finally seeing how to get this sound thank you sir! Wow this is the stuff I've been looking for that nobody shows much 👍
Glad to help!
Excellent tutorial Steve. Thank you for this
You bet, glad it was helpful!
Your videos are great man! Exactly what I was looking for 🙏
Glad you found em!
This really helped me understand those country runs I always hear and had no idea how they did it. Thanks
Brent and Johnny. Two of my favorite players
Kickest assest video on the double stops I've found so far- woulda paid several dollars American for such a lesson and tabs. I screen shotted em. You're awesome- thanks, instantly going to be useful. I'm an imposter in a country band and this might convince them- keep me off their radar for a bit. Cheers
I feel like an imposter most of the time as well...Keep on pickin!
Such a great lesson! Thanks
Great content Sir excellent breakdown of these types of examples...

Glad you like them!
Like everyone here I found this lesson the key to understanding and immediately getting that country double stop technique. Great lesson!
Sorry I am so late to find your vids- You are an awesome teacher and I am really enjoying your content. Please keep it coming. Steve "do no" Harms!
Thank you for a really helpful clip. I find your explanations and the way you support them visually very helpful. 🙏
Very clearly explained! Thank you!

I paused and took a screenshot of each messure I wanted. You could try that if he never gets around to it.
