I'm so glad I discovered these guys. They're so easy to understand what they're saying, and they're monster players. I come to these guys for new licks

The real musicians that watch this video will steal all of the licks that were played in this video

[@clintjones9848]

Yep well said. There's a whole lotta stuff that's really important vocab that noone ever standardizes, lays it down and teaches. People have to figure it out on their own. But you guys are doing just that and it's a really big help. I'm deciding to go with Hammond as my main instrument right now and I really need this as a part of my vocab. Then I happened to come across this vid. Thanks so much.

[@b00i00d]

Yeah, yeah, you hear a recording or summat and there's all those tasty double (or more?) stops that you start figuring it out by ear but you don't find much (any?) lit on them. Good topic guys! And nicely covered - I like how you guys brought your own listening and playing experience into this

[@pianopeter]

a great blusey double stop intro is who's lovin you with Jackson 5.

[@bluesroad9606]

Peter! Make a blues jazz solo and break it in slowly for Us!!!! hehehe It would awesome to study the lines!

[@walkercatenaccio]

You can also use sixths, for example, descending chromatically. It's a Chicago blues move.

[@dereklarsen]

You guys are totally Awesome! Your videos have Connected so many of The Dots for me! Thank-you.

[@scheck006]

This video was mind-blowing, guys. Keep up the good work!

[@AntKneeLeafEllipse]

That crunchy 2nd thing is so sweet, and so easy to implement. Sauce I actually loves that sus thing too, as you just started to talk about the 4, cause it pulled the sound into that IV7 in a really surprising way.

[@judsonclinton3790]

Watching this and the video about reharms back to back. Would like to see Part 2 to both videos consolidated into one. Always intrigued by all of he chord changes that work between double stops and enclosures!

[@pickinstone]

Just what the good doctah ordahed (Dr. John, that is). I've been trying to get these double stops into my own guitar playing--especially after listening to all the great organ trios. By the way, Larry Goldings Trio was up in the PNW--when are you two gonna follow suit? Also, what about my melody episode I've been dying to see redone? Not trying to be rude, because you guys are...the guys! I rock my "You'll Hear It" shirt at work everyone asks about it. Just really wanna see you do the "using the melody in our solos" request in the new podcave. Dueling piana style --Mr. Space Man

[@wisegamer706]

Yeah some of those they played are straight out of the doctors vocab. I truely believe he was the best to ever play New Orleans style blues.

Amo este espacio desde mi alma, les doi gracias por lo que hacen y les deceso una larga vida y en salud haciendo lo que más aman, soy dichoso de poder verlos y aprender de maestros como ustedes y lo más impactante de todo es la humildad que tienen, gracias por el gran aporte que hacen, a los músicos que como yo no tenemos los recursos económicos para pagar una clase como la que imparten gratuitamente, son los mejores de todo youtube, soy su fan.

[@travisguide4516]

I tried looking up double stop and nothing came up with piano in it which surprised me because it is pretty much the basis of my simple style and i agree its our way of bending notes and i use it for swing and rhythm i try to get them out of my style but no they are the basis and maybe why they can’t be categorized in piano because its so many wide ways you can stop twice

[@glenn_6044]

You guys should jam on this for a bit. Would love to hear you trading bluesy double stop riffs.

[@andyscott5277]

Like seeing the notes on the piano, now I need to see a close up of the hands directly underneath so I can figure out the fingerings. Sounds like you both have twenty fingers each 😅

[@macclift9956]

Wow!

[@jacksonpage47]

With the min maj thing with the ab and A, I think the Ab is borrowed from the IV7, resolving to the 3rd of the I7. Thats how I think of it instead of major and minor

I don't think you hit this one: Flat 7 on top, Flat 5 grace note to 4 on bottom. Example: Key of C, Bb on top, F# grace note to F on the bottom. Although it's not exactly the same, I credit the Pink Panther theme for the inspiration.
