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.

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?
