I don't' know how I only JUST found you. The algorithm has failed me until now. But, you're an incredible teacher, and your content really preaches to me. So, thank you. I've been going through your whole catalog today. SO good. Keep being awesome. - Ryan

Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel.

That two-fingered Curtis Mayfield thing is the deal…how did I never play that before? Great teaching style!

[@JameyArent]

Thanks!

[@michaelogden5093]

Hey, this guy even tells you what scale and key he's in so maybe you can relate a little bit to a scale you've played a bunch of times. Don't know why others often seem to miss that. Thanks man.

Outstanding lesson! I am excited to go grab my guitar and sit down with this video and go through the entire thing. First time I have ever seen a video that had so much rich content yet was right at my level and completely achievable and would make a tremendous instant improvement in my musical vocabulary. I cannot thank you enough. ! Absolutely tremendous presentation style, great playing and great tone as well. Subscribed!

At 3 : O8. Please show me the fingering for that C major chord you play --on the 7 th fret ? Never played C there !

[@JameyArent]

Frets are 7 of A string, 5 of D and G string. Using 3rd finger on the A string and a first finger bar on the D and G string.

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

Tried so hard to emulate Hendrixes double stops for 15 years --never got it right --hope you can put me right ?

[@joeurbanowski321]

I’m still trying to figure out how the 1,3 and 5 relate to 6th’s…?? I’m gonna have to watch again to see what I’m missing…😩

[@JameyArent]

In the Steve Cropper example, the distance between the notes in each chord is the interval of a 6th. So in that first two note grouping we have a D and B. That D (7th fret, 3rd string) and the B (7th fret, 1st string) are six notes away within the major scale, so that’s why we call these intervals sixths. Count up from D to B = D E F G A B = 6 notes away within the scale.

[@mindcontrol67]

I think of 6th's as 2 notes from a chord, major or minor.With major its the 3rd and the root and with minor same 3rd and root.

[@joeurbanowski321]

@@JameyArent .. ok.👍🏼Got it now.. It just sounded like you said you were playing the note in a triad…1..3…5… Then you said something about the 6…. Got me a little confused.. Thanks

[@danielcantrell9227]

John Mayer ? You mean like Hendrix and SRV played

[@tofuComputer]

Just some constructive criticism from a semi-newb guitarist... While this is a valuable lesson and thanks for making it, I find it very frustrating that little time was spent on how to do the right hand. Since I'm holding the pick and also striking a second string I don't know the proper technique. Is it a pinch? Do I pull? Things to consider? Personally I find this part to be the most difficult and struggle to get any volume and I haven't been able to figure out how to do double stops as a result.

[@JameyArent]

Thanks for this. Unless it’s a specific technique that requires the picking hand to function a certain way, I don’t really focus on picking because there are many methods of picking that can be used for double stops like these. Fingerstyle, pick, hybrid picking etc… So I instead chose to focus more on the notes, articulations, and the double stop specific elements. Picking hand technique could be a great idea for a future lesson.

[@Exdol-rb6iu]

Hey great job love ❤️ the video

[@ileutur6863]

I never understood why we call them stops. Like you're not stopping, you're playing a chord

[@JameyArent]

From here on out, let’s call them “double keep going”

[@altadena57]

It comes from the concept that when you “fret” a string, you are “stopping” the string down from vibrating the whole length of the string, to a shorter length, in order to produce a higher pitch note. Thus when you fret 2 notes at the same time, you are producing a “double stop”.

[@jamesmmusic5806]

​@@altadena57well double stops themselves appeared in music in the 1600s, not sure when the actual use of the phrase was first used though. To me it's always been a violin term not a guitar term

[@ebisu8824]

[@Otisleevonridge]

Jimi Hendrix or Stevie Ray, mayer is a poser and doesn’t belong

[@JameyArent]

His playing is certainly heavily derived from SRV and Hendrix, but I chose to include him because he is relevant and significant in today’s guitar culture and lexicon. My hope is someone stumbles upon this lesson because of the John Mayer example, and as a result learns who Danny Gatton, Curtis Mayfield, or Steve Cropper are. It’s all about connecting the dots from Mayer to SRV to Albert King, to Lightnin’ Hopkins etc…

[@Otisleevonridge]

@@JameyArent Thank you for the reply! I have respect for all guitarists and didn’t mean to sound any other way and could have worded it differently however thanks again for what you do and your prowess and I look forward to more. Thanks again. Ed PS he’s from my hometown and at first when he made it his attitude was poor and he seemed very full of himself and it turned a lot of people off.

[@Ston247]

These are not double stops. This is called parallel motion.

[@JameyArent]

The definition of double stops “the technique of playing two notes simultaneously on a stringed instrument” so these qualify. They don’t have to have parallel motion to be double stops.

[@MyTwangyGuitar]

A double stop lesson with no mention of Chuck Berry? Stick to what you know young man 'cause this ain't it... 👎

[@JameyArent]

Chuck Berry is the innovator of it all! He’s on the Mt. Rushmore or double stops and a huge influence. I didn’t include him in this particular video, but of course, without him, most of these other licks would not exist.
