Justus West Teaches Double Stops | Technique of the Week | Fender 

A nice combo of a player with staggering technical proficiency, but still makes the guitar seem approachable when he talks about it. He has the ability to “explain like I’m five” and also seems to not have forgotten what being a beginner or intermediate player feels like

This guy is sooo cool. Hes so chill that he doesn't make me feel like my double stops are absolute garbage

Some teachers (any subject you choose) can't teach - for me, at least, the teacher's attitude, temperament and voice are what m'brain uses to give or deny access. This vid went straight to the centre - playing a whole song with double stops just blew my mind and made "other stuff" fall into place - a few more things just fell into place. Grateful for this.

Been playing for ever and thank God for this guy. It's something about how kind he seems that helps it not seem so intimidating

Justus not only a top knotch musician and amazing player but also an outstanding communicator with amazing vocabulary and skills to teach! Blown away amazing !

what an amazing fun and clear teacher, made me feel capable of learning something new that actually sounds cool. Thanks!

"Wrong notes, are not wrong, if you do then on purpose..." should be on a t-shirt... 🎸😎👍 Outstanding video!

Love your teaching Justus, second thing applying it on a tune, a part of tune, it’s a bonus!

Incredible player, and a really useful video. Nice!

ah you make a good teacher someone i can finally understand

Wow! Thank you.

This lesson is great! Clear and concise and a few good smiles along the way! Phenomenal teacher! 🙌

Beautiful playing and a very cool guy. Thank Justus!

Awesome lesson! Fender... please make him a regular!

Amazing tone in the beginning

Great lesson, thanks

Such a great guy...tanks for this awesome lesson!!

oh shoot he just explained this in a very simple way. wow I don't know why I didn't think about it that way lol. Thanks Justus!

Much gratitude to you, Justin.

SO nice to hear someone explains things by frets and string names! instead of tenth fret on the second and third strings. Thx

A well done video by a master.

OK, Justus makes me want to work harder on my triads. Also makes me want a strat even more cuz I love his sound! Gotta wait for the rona to end first :D Thanks!

You sir are a very good instructor. And an amazing guitarist.

Great explanation and demo of double stops. Thank you.

Justus is the man.

Thanks for doing this Justus, I appreciate it :D

Okay but teaching aside, this guy is a GREAT player

Love you for this! Thank you!

exactly what i needed

Thanks very much. You unlocked some Chet Atkins stuff for my playing! 🎉

Hey! I know you! Mac Miller tiny desk concert!. amazing groove. Justus West fan now!

I got to say something about a Squire Contemporary in red from China. Dude this guitar the quality is amazing. I bout it new to or $288.00 usd. I wasn't expecting much. The quality of the fret work a basic setup and even the quality of major parts. The pickups aren't great but not bad either. I purchased an EVH mexico grey 5150 edition. It was nowhere near this. I had to change strings. They felt cheap. The action was way too high. This one. I've always wanted to experience the fender experience. I've played a few. I only found one that felt right in the 90s. I was into the fast loud floyd diving. I just wanted to try a fender. I couldn't find one low in price. Thinking I wasn't going to like it. That's why I ordered this. Their qc department is awesome. I love the 2 post tremolo. The saddles aren't bad either. I lubed the nut and pivot points. It stays in tune. I'm blown away. The volume knob is located perfect. It's a Squire. I always thought they were like entry guitars. I'm really satisfied. I even got on Amazon and found 2 aluminum scratch plates on sale. Now I can build them and switch them out humbuckers and 3 single coils. It even has a route for the middle pickup. I was afraid it was like a bath tub body. Nope it isn't. I really am shocked no joke. The quality of their workmanship. I would put it up with the fender custom shop. The work on finish to setup all in-between frets are really perfect. I paid close to $1,000.00 on the EVH. And with this no the pickups aren't great or the tuning machines. Or the pots aren't high quality. But I've got a great platform. The tremolo is amazing. This still had factory strings. It plays like butter. My action is low no buzzing out either. And I didn't do anything but a half total turn on the truss rod. And went down about a mm on the saddles. That's it. I really do want to get a Fender still. It's gonna be a while. But I'm really satisfied with this Squire.

Thank you for a great video lesson. By any chance do you have the tabs somewhere? Thanks again

He is so good, he got me to watch. I am a Bass player and had 0 idea what a double stop was. 🤣😂

I liked it I couldn't keep up with you but sounded really cool

Inspirational vid. Rock souls like a cradle bruh. M.R.

There’s a hint of Allman Brothers in there. Sounds really nice!

awesome lesson

woh oooah that was a super cool and useful lesson ! thank you !

Justus seems like an awesome kindhearted person and a very knowledgeable musician, also the guitar is out of this world (the sound of that Strat plus the Cobra blue finish). The video was really informative, thanks!

ty very much ur very appreciated thanks

Nice Strat.

badass my man

Super cool.

Awesome player and seems like a really good guy

Love this this will fit in with I’m trying to achieve perfectly in my quartet gospel.

Man this guy is so good and nice 😂 you’re awesome, and you are awesome, and you are awesome!” ... you’re awesome mate 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

What man this is cool!

Neat, again

Damn, that's one nice guy :)

I’ve been looking for this guy for a while. Never knew his name but seen him play for other artist over the years. Good lesson

Very nice.

I’d love to take a lesson from you. Great vid.

Good video. Wish you put pictures of finger placements. I'm a beginner and I am learning. It's not easy, but it can be done.

It would help if you could give more of a close up of where you're putting your fingers. How do you know where all those places are to play for each key? Do you have them memorized? I like you btw you're really good and maybe you have a closeup video of how you do that picking? Thanks

Nice video! Does anyone know the intervall of the 4th shape he showed? So it goes 1, 2minor, 3minor. And whats the 4th chord? Which interval?

Opening sequence: There is nothing this guy can teach me...I'm envisioning a rocket scientist trying to impart his wisdom to a puppy... Incredible. Play on...

0:59 “or even try some Disney” on the subtitles 🤣🫠

Such a great lesson! Thanks so much!

Will this work on a Jackson

Curtis Mayfield II cool cat.

What model Strat are you playing?

"So I think it's not a triad, I guess that'd be a dyad" SWEET!!!

7:13 was looking forward to the fun only to be the end of the video. video is basically a human guitar book.

Love the fake grass on the desk, I have some in my house too ❤

What mic is that

Can you make it look like you're trying? I don't even want to play now after how effortless you made that intro look lol.

This Strat looks EXACTLY like mine... is it a 2014-2016 American Standard Shawbucker Stratocaster? (I absolutely LOVE mine!)

What the hell? Lol. This dude is so good it blows my mind

I love fender Am from Algeria

Can someone explain what a double stop is?

I read Jesus West about 3 times.

how about your wur wur wur wur speed improvisation. like a train.

Yeahhh

Where is the Abasi guitar?I

These are NOT double stops. This is called *parallel motion.* Power 5ths & 4ths as well as 3rds, 6ths and octaves can be played together. Examples of Double Stops are 1) Muff- John Tropea 2) Universal Lobe- Lenny White 3) Hocus pocus-Gary Howie

Awesome technique bro, and love your name. That’s my brothers name also a Bible name not commonly used these days, at least spelled as “Justus”. Church baby here. Lol

Anyone have tips to learn chords faster

Dear Justus, thank you for the excellent lesson. I immediately found on this scale the melody of "Stasera mi butto", a big Italian hit of the Sixties sung by the American singer Rocky Roberts.

👍

Damn

I want to EAT that strat!

I wish ! Some people stink of talent so badly.
