That's very pretty, thanks, but really not what I'm talking about. Originally Posted by janjakut

So, as a relative newbie (longtime bassist that picked up the guitar a couple of years ago), it would be cool to see some other examples of the "classics" - and I mean the greasy/bluesy double stop licks ala Kenny Burrell, Grant Green, etc. I've searched the web, but never found a good compilation of the most common examples. Maybe folks could post some of their favorites or recommend a resource that covers this? Originally Posted by christianm77

On George Benson's instructional video there's a burst of double stops maybe 20 seconds long that he demonstrates that blew my mind. Wish I had a transcription of it or could find the video. I'd steel every one.

Hey Jan, maybe this is not what Anton was after, but it's really nice stuff. I'm working on getting this kind of thing into my playing, (which I think of as holding 2 and 3-note chords under a single note line, as opposed to punching them in, a la barney kessel) I was motivated by Originally Posted by janjakut
a lesson I took with Steve Herbermann recently, and also careful listening to Gilad Hex, and Lage lund, and all the other guys Anton hates
but to the original topic: practicing major scales in 3rd and 6th double stops doesnt take long to incorporate and gets at that bluesy double stop thing.
Playing in 4rths and 5ths is also pretty easy on the guitar, but is bit more ambiguous sounding.
Of course you can cheat too: I remember tying to cop a Jim Hall solo in parallel 5ths, only to realize he was using a pedal!

Yeah double stops (or dyads) is just two notes at the same time.... You may as well ask, which players still play blues ideas?
Who is the bluesiest of the current crop of jazzers?

I took a lesson with a guy online, and after playing a couple of lines for him he said, "You've got some good blues in your playing. Don't lose that." Originally Posted by mr. beaumont

'Cause yeah, for about, oh, 25 years there, blues was all I played. Well, the occasional Knopfler style dorian run, but mostly blues.

Like you said, you got motivated, and i never did, and it means I'm outta the game! There is no future for me, arghhhh! But at least i have my double stops, I'll stick to it, I did it myyyy waaay .

That's cool! I think the guitar he's playing is the same Eddie Van Halen used on ''Little Guitars''... But I might be wrong. Originally Posted by neatomic

I think Herb Ellis is not quite relevant to this discussion. Originally Posted by gtrplrfla
