Bluesify your Bebop with Double Stops

Do you employ double stops in your playing? In case you’re not familiar with the term, it was first devised by violinists to denote 2 notes played simultaneously. Nonetheless, it is applicable to any any polyphonic instrument!

You’ve probably heard and identified the sound of double stops with the blues throughout your entire life. But did you know they can also be used over practically any set of jazz changes? If you listen to a lot of jazz guitarists, you’ve probably heard double stops in the playing of George Benson, Grant Green, Kenny Burrell and even post-bop players like John Scofield and Bill Frisell to mention just a few.

In this lesson, I teach you a variety of cool double stops that are sure to bluesify any jazz standard!
