Hendrix style 'Double Stops' | Guitar Essentials 

Everybody moaning about cleaning my fretboard: I clean it every time I change strings, but to give some more details since you apparently can't stop talking about it: 1) This guitar has been played a LOT. It's more the wear on the fretboard itself you see than dirt. 2) It's probably due to the harsh lighting that it's a little more present. I'm playing this Strat as we speak and it's hard to see any dirt tbh under normal light conditions. 3) I don't care. 4) I do a little bit, because I'm doing all this to prove a point. 5) Thanks for reading 6) Bye.

Great lesson Paul!!

ive been teaching myself how to play guitar for the last 8 years, and I'm not going to lie, this may be one of the best videos ive ever watched

This guy's editing is so good. @1:20 the background music even resolves to the D chord he strums.

Oh man, the tones, the tones! Love that Strat

I just started playing guitar last year (I'm 61) I'm a huge Jimi H fan and found this lesson to be incredibly useful. Well taught and very articulate. Keep up the great work!!

THIS is the true genius of Hendrix!!! .... His masterful use of chord progressions and embellishments that made chords sound almost like leads within themselves.

I am 49 and I wish I had subscribed to this channel 30 years ago. Oh wait, there was no internet back then. Darn!!! Better late than never anyway. Thank you so much sir!

"The trick is, playing a little sloppy. So don't be too precise". And this made so much sense... Awesome content, once again

I REALLY LOVE the way you teach. You use like pedagogical ways to explain things that seem complicated but coming from your mouth everything turns out so easy to understand... I have to say that not all great guitar players are able to teach, and you are... so, you're a GREAT guitar player and a great Teacher. Thanks and sorry my English.

Paul, I love your style of teaching. Your delivery is just the right speed and you are clear. The video accurately shows what is to be done. I recommend you to all my students.

Am I the only one who can't help but obsess over his obsessive color composition? Everything we see on the screen is intended to be visible, and it all comes together so wonderfully.

This is my favourite guitar tone and I love the Little Wing style such as Yellow Ledbetter. Thank you for this great lesson.

This is a must watch for every guitarist. A perfect explanation for how the major and minor pentatonic scales are connected through different chords!

This is exactly the video I was looking for! Understanding the pentatonic and being able to use double stops really enhances your guitar playing. Thank you for making it make sense!

Having just gotten back into guitar after 2 decades away from it, I have found your videos to be some of the very best on youtube.

I watched this video about six months ago and it changed my playing completely. Really phenomenal video

OMG I needed this lesson. I've been trying to figure this out for ages. Really wanted to learn it to spice up my solo playing and such. Thank a bunch!

Your voice, instruction and playing are always such a joy. Bravo!

I love how you explain this so it gives the viewer inspiration to create out own licks and how to transfer to another chord shape and pentatonic scale.

That lamp introduction at 0:26 really made me laugh. Anyway quality stuff as always :)

I never pass up on a "hendrix double stops" youtube lesson. This is a good one.

Brilliantly explained for 4 different chord shapes (maj- minor), all in a simple video. Great sum up of double stops, the way Jimi used them.

I just want to say how amazing you‘re little lessons have become. It is stunning how much I can learn in a 13 min‘ video of you in comparison to my years of inconsistent playing... Keep your doing what youre doing man - the likes speak for themselves.

I was on a few other "instructor" type pages, been trying to learn Something new, but.......I think its all in how easy it is to follow what the instructor is saying as well as how slowly they demonstrate what it is their teaching as well as how enjoyable or non stressful it is trying to understand whats being taught or shown ....... So Ive been on the other 2 channels for many weeks, trying to not give up & learn SOMETHING, but no matter what its always too advanced or too complicated or isnt something that I think I could use. .. Stumbled onto your channel tonight , watched 3 videos - Im subscribing. Good work man, slight bit of occasional humor, clear with your demonstrations & you dont fly thru the stuff youre demonstrating. , Thumbs Up =D

Beautiful sound and chords. You have a very clean and fluid technique. I really enjoy your videos. keep it up.

Love this video! Sometimes getting back to basics is the best thing!! These simple riffs lend such a nice and bluesy flavor and a richness to the chords! Thank you, Paul, for this simple lesson!

This was so helpful Paul. I have been doing double stops just because it felt and sounded right but when you break it down, it makes whole lot of sense and now I play with purpose.

This is one of my absolute favorite lessons. Outstanding job, Paul.

Wow! Always sounded so tough to play but now I can do it no problem.. Amazing tutorial! Thank you!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the last 3 mins of this video because every time I come back to it I get half way through and I’m already absolutely buzzing off how cool this sounds 😵🤩

Thanks for the lesson. I come to your channel often when I'm starting to feel burned out on playing guitar and your lessons always help to get me thinking about new ways to play and things to work on. Thank you.

That was a treat at 12:00, I'd love to hear you play Little Wing in it's entirety. You definitely have the skills and soul to bring it to life! Good video, thanks.

Amazing sound 🔥 Great class. This may be the single best guitar lesson i’ve ever seen. I vote for more ‘basic’ lessons!

I love the way you teach. You make it so easy to understand what you're talking about, and super easy to actually see what your fingers are doing in the demos. It's a seamless blend. If you ever get tired of teaching Guitar, I hope you take up teaching people how to teach Guitar. Future generations will thank you. Nvwadohiyada. (harmony to you)✌

wow so in-depth but basic at the same time. You are able to explain so much information in the most basic form that everyone can follow around. Thank you

Love that sweater, love the "interior enhancer" aka lamp. Love the Hendrix, "Bold as Love" hat tip.

That’s the most beautiful arrangement I have ever heard.!!!!

Man, you are so smart - such a great teacher and player. So clear

Double stops are so beautiful. Thanks a lot, Paul! So intuitive and so well explained.

That Sweetness of the Guitar...!! WOW!

This is probably the best teaching video I've ever come across on youtube

Beautiful tone, highly relaxing & enjoyable lesson. You have helped me to understand how to use double-stops and their relation to the current chord shape and the patterns that they make along the fretboard. I shall enjoy practising through this lesson again & again! Thank you, Paul!

Paul you are some man. Great content as always man. Respect! Helping me finally advance my guitar technique and better understand my way around a guitar. A long way to go as yet but after 15 years playing in now trying things I never really bothered with. Keep it up dude!

Awesome stuff, dude! This is something all guitarists should have in their improvisational arsenal. Thank you. 💥

Amazing, some of the finest videos on RU-vid and the little mites are worried about the fretboard!! Grow up people!! Great work Paul thanks for sharing your precious time and talent!!!

Paul, you’re absolutely an awesome guitarist. Simply because you make things look so simple when actually they are not

Playing 12 years and thats one of the most important lessons I've seen, thanks

Where have you been all my life! Bless you!

This is what I've been looking to learn ever since I heard John Mayers solo on Slow dancing in a burning room, he uses a lot of these double stops. Took me years to find someone explain it as well as you!

man thanks so much for all you have done for me and my playing technique just love your style man it hits all the right spots in my minds hands down thanks paul

Wow, that may be the most informative, helpful video I've ever watched. I'm 63, finally played my first John Mayer lick!!! Love the double stops. I've been trying to figure out how to use triads, forget that for now, I'm rocking double stops. Pentatonic scales and double stops!!👍

Outstanding Paul! Beautiful progressions. Thank you for breaking it down for us brother. Wish you had these shapes pasted off in the corner of the screen while you played - but that’s only because I’m a novice and slow on visualizing. I appreciate your generosity nonetheless brother.

Greetings from Italy. Great lesson, as usual, and above all a beautiful guitar sound. For me the reference of the sound I would like to get. Thanks, Paul

What a great tutorial. Learned so much. Thank you for the break down, having loads of fun playing around now.

Paul I've played on and off for 25 years and the last 6-8 months of watching you has taught me more than two decades. Granted my focus wasn't always there, but you're a major contribution to me becoming the guitarist I want to be after all this time. Thank you.

Love the style of your explanation,your video-editing, your sound....and your lamp too🤣 Keep goin' 😉👊🏻👍🏻

Obviously great video (and tones) as usual, but can we all just take a second here and honor how awesome that lamp on the amplifier looks?

Thanks mate. It's videos like yours that keep inspiring me to chase the magic.

Paul Davids, you're the best for these free lessons. You have helped me formed style and ive learned so much theory from you man! please keep up the awesome videos !

Lekker gitaar lesje weer hoor Paul! Tasty AF! Ga zo door! Groeten uit Amsterdam.

Tone is fkin divine dude!

This is the best “beginner fundamentals “ video I have watched on this subject. There is so much content and application! The scale / chord relationship, the technique, the application, ... incredible.

I love the style of your videos. Been subbed for a while now and I’m really glad I did. Amazing stuff

Excellent feel and explanation, good playing relies on subtleties often

1:26 Monica Geller in friends jaja

This only took 4 minutes and 20 seconds to blow my mind. Seriously, just a coincednce but this clicked in my playing that fast. I just picked up a guitar a year ago and have not put it down since. Thank you so much!

You always find a new way to inspire me to pick up my guitar. Thank you for the wonderful insightful lessons. You are my teacher.

Dang... this was a Huge "ah ha" moment. Thank you so much!

9:48 "so great to play like this" 😂 definitely is!

This is excellent. Showing how to apply the pentatonic scales to each chord is great. Thanks.

This is so exciting! Thank you! So beautiful

Noice, Bold As Love !! Between you and Rabea, I have so much motivation, I never want to put my guitar down. I need to keep working on this style. My Hendrixisms are not strong enough.

I was honestly listening to Jimi Hendrix as I sae this got uploaded haha 🤘

Beautiful. These embellishments make the guitar sound alive and inspire me to play. Thanks for the great explanation.

Brilliant video, man. The past few days I've been struggling to add embellishments to major chords and this method helped me a lot. Thanks! 😁

"don't choke the D" sorry, I'll show myself out... Amazing videos!

2:10 literally perfect Otherside by the Chili Peppers tone

My favorite guitar video, started doing this and man it just changes the way you play.

Thank you, so helpful iv been playing for 20 years self taught and somthing so simple as this has always confused me till now.

Oh my god! You have the best strat tone on youtube!

The first section harkens me back to “The Maker” by Willie Nelson, from the Teatro Album.

Great lesson!! It really takes a basic chord progression and turns it into something much more musical!! It makes playing exciting!! Keep up with the awesome lessons!!

Thank you for a very informative post. I have grown from it on my long journey to play nice stuff. From Australia - good on ya, mate !!!

It's time to drop my xbox controller and grab the guitar!

Lamp - interiour enhancer

First of all, dude THE tone 😍. Most instructive video I've seen about double stomps, thanks!!

I ENJOY YOUR VIDS AND ALWAYS LEARN SOMETHING LOVE THE TONES OF YOUR RIG AND APPRECIATE YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND YOUR SHARING IT FOR THOSE OF US THAT CARE 👍🔥🎸🦅

You NAILED Hendrix’s tones!!! How did you do this? Awesome video.

What I've learned: -double stops -*that I want a Stat*

Your videos are just excellent. Thank you very much for all these explanations

Awesome lesson Paul! I really enjoy your videos. I’ve been playing for over 45 years and you have taught me so many cool techniques! You can teach an old dog new tricks!!!

So our chord progression is D A Bm G. I-V-vi-IV in D major. And you're telling me D major pentatonic, A major pentatonic, Bm pentatonic, and G major pentatonic all fit in the key of D major? Crazy

Great lesson..can you post something country blues and jazzy blues licks

It's really a magistral demonstration of the Hendrix style. Wonderfully done.👍🎵

After practicing scale patterns, the CAGED systems for the past few months, this video really helped unlock the fretboard for me. Thank you sir!

Great as always :-) How about a lesson on soloing on acoustic guitars? Differences between electric and acoustic techniques allowing it as well as making it sound the best without sustain and playability of an electric guitar. Thanks Paul! Keep it up, you're the best :-)

Where was this video 3 years ago when I was trying to learn to do this stuff xD

Really enjoy your videos, have been playing for a few years and have learnt from videos a lot, recently found it hard to find relative content, but your vids are superb and entertaining, keep it up👍🏻

Hey Paul, i really like the peacefull vibe coming out of your vidz, amazing work my dude
