How to Play COUNTRY DOUBLE STOPS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 чер 2024
- Double stops are an essential part of the "country" sound. This video covers how I think about and use this technique in my playing. I wish I had a video like this 5 years ago when I was really diving into country guitar so hopefully you all find this helpful!

This guy is the best country electric tutor on UA-cam imo.
Thanks for the words of encouragement at the end. Been workin' on this stuff for awhile, especially connecting chords.
Well done. This is the best explanation of double stops I have seen. Thanks for posing.
Awesome, glad you were able to make sense of it!
Im a rock guy,but these lessons r great.
These lessons are incredibly helpful. Thank you very much Steve!
Glad to hear it, you’re welcome!
I’ve been looking for a video like this one forever. Thanks for your hard work in putting this together!
Yessir, glad you found it useful!
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!
Fantastic lesson - the best - and great to mention Brent and Johnny
I learned so much from this one lesson! Thank you!
You're so welcome! Glad you found it useful.
great lesson, steve. this is some of the secret sauce for country guitar.
Indeed it is!
Most helpful country music guitar lessons I have found.
That’s awesome, glad to help!
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!
right on, there's always more to learn on this instrument!
Brent and Johnny. Two of my favorite players
Hands down the best double stop video I’ve seen. You got my subscription!!!!!

Awesome lesson! Thanx a LOT! 😎
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
Glad you found the channel and glad you’re finding it useful, thanks for sticking around! 🤘
Thank you thank you
Excellent
This really helped me understand those country runs I always hear and had no idea how they did it. Thanks
Bravo!
Now THIS is worth getting excited about learning!!!! 🔥☄
Looking forward to learning that lick, and making it smooth. Great lesson!
This is gold. So glad I found your channel.
Great job and great lesson
Thank you This is pure gold
🙏 Thanks!!
Great lesson. Not just for country. This lesson can be adapted
to other styles as well. Well done!!! Thank You.
Thank You so Much
Very clearly explained! Thank you!
Glad it made sense!
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
You bet, glad you're enjoying playing this style
great lesson, clear and well articulated (and killer playing). Thanks!
Very enlightening video .. Thank You Steve.
You bet! 🙏
Outstanding instruction... outstanding teacher! Thank you!
very clear and informative. helpful good lesson
Thank for your great course and explanation always clear great teaching
You bet, so glad you are finding this stuff useful 🤘
Wow, thanks so much for posting. Those licks and style of playing soooooo tasty.
It has been a long search for a lesson like this! Thank you
I try to make videos that I would have loved to have when I first started! 🤘
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 show and tell. Thank ya!
You bet!
Excellent tutorial Steve. Thank you for this
You bet, glad it was helpful!
Great lesson!! Many thanks
You got it!
To get that chicken pickin' sound even more- you can run a compressor pedal with higher output and lowish sensitivity.
Interesting
Chicken pickin with an octave fuzz is so dope
@@nsv-pd9bd copy
@@malgid5711 if it sounds good why not copy lol
I’m a blues/rock guy most of the time. I was wondering how the country guys were navigating that sound/style. And once again goes back to just a piece of triad and of course the good ol major scale. Thanks for the video.
Nice one!
Awesome! Thanks (4th vid I watched and finally a comprehensive lesson)
Best tutorial ever. Straight to it. Thanks for the tips!
🙏
Thank you so much!
You bet!
excellent video
well made lesson Steve. Clear explanation and really helpful tabs. Many thanks. Keep up the great work.
Thank you, Glad it was helpful!
Beautiful guitar and sounds great.
Awesome lesson. Thanks, man. I'll be watching this one a few times.
Thank you!
Dude. You Rock. Thank you
I try lol, thanks!!
Definitely have a need for the picking style u used.. can't wait to sit and try,,,thanks.....mike 66 still at it
Well done. Great info for woodshedding 🤙
Thank you, Happy playing 🤘
Great lesson, thank you much! I love double stops, and this gives me more to explore and incorporate. Subscribed.
Yeah dude this video is great! Thanks for making it
You bet!
Good stuff...thanks 🍺🍺🍺😉🤘💚🙏
Great lesson
Glad you liked it!
Brother , you are on fire !
I appreciate that!
Excellent lesson, will practice the techniques.
Best of luck!
Great addition to any picker's stash of licks!
It sure is!
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!
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 stuff man
Thank you!
Thanks man!
You bet!
SUPER, SUPER, SUPER.......
😀very good!
Very nice and concise sir. Subscribed. 👍
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 🤘
Great lesson. That was huge. Show me more of that double stop madness. Very cool.
I’ll have to start working on a part 2!
Wow, very informative. Thank you sir, subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
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!
Great content Sir excellent breakdown of these types of examples...
🤘🤘✌️🖖
Glad you like them!
Thank you very much. Very usefull one. Will surely subscribe
Appreciate it!
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.
Nice! Sounds like u been goin thru the Nashville chops and western style guitar hot licks video as well as the Johnny Hiland truefire course:)
If there’s an online telecaster course I’ve probably studied it 😂
Nice job brother
Thank you! Cheers!
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
The Beatles (George!) used country double stops often.
Great lesson! Would you mind sharing your amp and pedal (and settings) combinations?
I just made a video on that exact thing!

Hi Steve ,great lesson! where do we sign up for you're lessons with tabs backing tracks etc ?
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
great lesson- what gauge strings do you have on your Tele?
I use 10-46s
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!!
Awesome lesson mate! Is that an ac15 or ac10?
thank you! its an AC15 I have on the side there, audio for the video was coming through a helix.
Thanks mate 👌🏻
@@stevetharms I used to have the 15 but for home use it was too loud so I’m thinking of getting the ac10. What’s your thoughts?
do you have pdf for these? this lesson was awesome
I don’t have one available at this point, sorry.
11:43 BATMAN!
He’ll make surprise appearances every once in awhile. 😂
Great Lesson! Thank you. Could you make a PDF available? (new subscriber)
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 😂
I paused and took a screenshot of each messure I wanted. You could try that if he never gets around to it.
Im brand new to playing country lead guitar ive always played basic rhythm guitar what would you suggest to start with
I have some other videos on my channel with some more beginner level country lessons, I think those would be a great place to start!
Great video, thank you.. Maybe it's just me.. But I can't make out what you're doing with the "low string" technique at 2.43.. You say " I hope you can see what I'm doing" but I can't, sorry..
Sounds like the whole key to Billy Bremner and ROCKPILE is on this video. 9:49 You said this was an A shape but isn't it a C shape? if not someone clue me in
Hey Steve what gauge strings are you using?
I have some of my teles set up with 9.5’s and some with 10’s.
Brother,just a tad bit slower just 1 time on each.This has helped me tremendously but I want to be super sure my fingers are landing right.
There’s an option on UA-cam under the video settings where you can slow the video down as much as you want! I use it all the time when I’m trying to learn something, hope that helps!
It's called "hybrid picking."
Nah son its chickin pickin
Private Skype lessons etc?
Sorry at this point I’m not set up to do online lessons.
@@stevetharms bummer cause y’all very knowledgeable
A little too jarring on the ear especially out of context without backing. Perhaps a little more melodic e.g. the (country) solo used in ¨THINKING OUT LOUD" a nice little riff. ua-cam.com/video/lp-EO5I60KA/v-deo.html
Ew I hate country, except Hank Williams Sr. And Johnny Cash
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!
nice lesson dude!
Thank you! 🙏
