Join Sean Daniel and Ian Stich as they explore the wonderful world of blues guitar double stops. Learn how to connect them all through the fretboard and when exactly to unleash the beast. Check out Ian's channel: goo.gl/kySv0X
Every time I watch a video of yours, or Ian's I can't help but think, "Damn, this shit's easy as fuck! why don't I already know this!?" And it's so true, y'all make learning these concepts SO simple, and cohesive in the context of more of a class (Watching every vid as it comes out, or marathoning vids), AND in the context of just one-offs! It's amazing!
@@Tman53535 oh fuck, I didn't mean to bro, my bad. I'm glad that leaving this comment for me helped you, I'm sure *youl* be much better off in life telling someone to quit a passion of theirs. lmfao
I've been playing guitar over 20 years and didn't know what a double stop was until I watched this. Though I have been quite familiar with Sean's version of the double stop since high school, except I've always known it as the "creep her out unintentionally" move lol
You should do a joint channel for this stuff. Works really well when you tag team the info. Think it would be a major RU-vid success. I watch a lot of this shit and your stuff is by far the best already.
Thank you Sean! For the first time I tried the double stop and it helped me so much man, in the context of picking up chicks. Now I shall try it on guitar as well..
Thanks to both of you. I spent a significant amount of time today playing to backing tracks without having to spend so much time and effort moving from one "box" or the other depending on which of the I, IV, V chords the backing track was on. I stayed in the key and worked more on landing on the correct notes. Freed me up alot. Obviously I want to learn and move between the various boxes but you gave me the freedom to learn notes (fretboard) while improvising and having fun. Much more productive on several levels. Thanks
This is what i call the REAL TEACHING GUITAR !!! Ur amazing guys , i was searching for these little tips that could help everywhere in youtube , and finnaly i found you !!! Thanks !!!
Those triplets remind me of the opening to I've Just Seen a Face by the Beatles. Been playing double stops for years and didn't even know it! Thanks Guys!
Man... How I love this channel. Funny, teaching important stuff, in minimum time and keeping me glued to my guitar for hours. What else would a student want. Thank you :D
I read some of the comments and I agree. I think you guys teach very well. practicing on what you guys teach after awhile has made me a better player. Not as good as others but better than if I did nothing. plus you guys are fun.
i am really glad, i found this channel.. you are doing great work man!! please tell me, can you put out some videos or a pdf on music theory for guitar? That will help alot. thanks
When you're playing the 4 double stops in succession, are you following notes of E minor pentatonic or are you picking notes from specific chords you want to play?
It's actually not from a scale perspective, it's from a chord voicing perspective. So an E7 has 4 notes (E - G# - B - D) and these stops are taking directly from the chord. Hope that makes sense!
Very nice mooove! hahahaha Suddenly I found the main subject from the video so boring compared to your "double stop move" hahahah! ... But I recovered and regained my focus on the real double stops 🤣🤣🤣
*Nice1, I always thought that Double stops sounded exactly like a Semi Truck's horn!, I have always been* *attracted to it, it sincerely makes your guitar scream like a bitch!. Motorhead played a lot of double stops.*
I really don't get everyone using fret numbers. When talking about scale degrees or chord vocings it is so much simpler to use the Nashville numbering system. It's not that hard. Make this standard. It would make this so much better.
My knowledge of music theory is very, and I mean very rudimentary as I'm self taught. Can someone explain to me what do the numbers eg: "seventh, ninth, etc" mean?
So, what IS a "double stop"? Fail. You initially define it as two notes played at one time(followed by a bunch of jibberish about chord voicings), and then you give examples in which you do not play two notes at one time. Perhaps just show various examples of what it is right from the get go? Or, at least use working definitions. I am no less confused by the end of your video.
WELL FUCK ANOTHER TEN YEARS OF LEARNING WHY COULDNT I JUST BE SMART GRRR!! (SMART=BURNING MY GUITAR THE SAME DAY I GOT IT!!) THEN BOUGHT A PIANO ITS ALL LAYED OUT ITS GOTTA BE EISER
No where do you show how to pick double stops, especially perplexing when they're not adjacent strings. Sean, I gotta say, the lessons you do with Stich are so disjointed compared with your own lessons. His intentions are good, but his instruction leaves me cold and generally confused.
That's helpful context to know, so thanks. To the degree you can set the stage (with context) and connect the dots (with logical, linear explanation) the more useful the demonstration. Not being able to see the picking hand deprives me of information I need to know to understand the lesson. So, the video may be "strong" by your own standards (which is fine), but as a student of guitar I can say it leaves me with a few significant unmet needs. Thanks for responding.
