Hendrix style 'Double Stops' | Guitar Essentials

[@PaulDavids]

Everybody moaning about cleaning my fretboard: I clean it every time I change strings, but to give some more details since you apparently can't stop talking about it: 1) This guitar has been played a LOT. It's more the wear on the fretboard itself you see than dirt. 2) It's probably due to the harsh lighting that it's a little more present. I'm playing this Strat as we speak and it's hard to see any dirt tbh under normal light conditions. 3) I don't care. 4) I do a little bit, because I'm doing all this to prove a point. 5) Thanks for reading 6) Bye.

[@fve1352]

guys.... rosewood fretboards do indeed wear out if you use your guitar for playing instead of decoration ;-)

[@seanmurphy.]

Your playing sounds so clean, it can't be THAT dirty! ;) So never mind what anyone has to say about the "dirt".

[@IbervilleMusic]

@@fve1352 rosewood fretboards do indeed wear out, but the part that wears out is supposed to become matte. not the part that your fingers don't touch. what you see here is dirt. It's amplified a lot by the studio lighting but it is indeed rather dirty.

[@tomaszkaczmarek3369]

Hi Paul, what is the brand of your cardigan or where one could buy it?

[@canadianrushfan12]

Even if he doesn’t clean it, who cares! It’s his guitar. His problem. His life. His business.

[@NikauCottage]

3 years on. How’s the guitar playing going ?. Are you happy with your Jimi ?.

[@christophersuggs8487]

THIS is the true genius of Hendrix!!! .... His masterful use of chord progressions and embellishments that made chords sound almost like leads within themselves.

[@matiasarteaga4548]

Yeah, Hendrix is a great way to see how rythm and lead are just to sides of the same coin

[@johnmac8084]

Hendrix got it from Curtis Mayfield

[@dannyhood7433]

Yes indeed, I always liked Hendrix .I Remember guitar player magazine back in late 80s listed 30 different guitar players with their top 5 records of all time. Every list (except for one (I forget who it was) out of 30 guitarist did not mention Hendrix on his list) the other 29 guitar players either listed electric ladyland or Are you experienced) albums.. Those were the only 2 hendrix records mentioned on every players list. Joe satriani had both Hendrix albums on his list also, but Joe's #1 record choice was (axis bold as love) that meant something. Learning songs from( axis )seeing the fingerings ,hendrixs rythm n blues chops he'd taken up another notch. Lil musical things playing over chords. flood gates

[@tonymurphy9795]

"True genius of Hendrix"?? There is NOTHING ORIGINAL in these licks, FFS.

[@HeyJoeyYea]

Playing 12 years and thats one of the most important lessons I've seen, thanks

[@KatherineV06]

I REALLY LOVE the way you teach. You use like pedagogical ways to explain things that seem complicated but coming from your mouth everything turns out so easy to understand... I have to say that not all great guitar players are able to teach, and you are... so, you're a GREAT guitar player and a great Teacher. Thanks and sorry my English.

[@guillaumemunsch7899]

"The trick is, playing a little sloppy. So don't be too precise". And this made so much sense... Awesome content, once again

[@ericbergmueller2981]

Paul, I love your style of teaching. Your delivery is just the right speed and you are clear. The video accurately shows what is to be done. I recommend you to all my students.

[@stevewebertampainvestments2097]

Having just gotten back into guitar after 2 decades away from it, I have found your videos to be some of the very best on youtube.

[@dtiger5]

This is a must watch for every guitarist. A perfect explanation for how the major and minor pentatonic scales are connected through different chords!

[@AdaptivePhenix]

This is my favourite guitar tone and I love the Little Wing style such as Yellow Ledbetter. Thank you for this great lesson.

[@scottdykema5385]

Wow, that may be the most informative, helpful video I've ever watched. I'm 63, finally played my first John Mayer lick!!! Love the double stops. I've been trying to figure out how to use triads, forget that for now, I'm rocking double stops. Pentatonic scales and double stops!!👍

[@conordunne2460]

I watched this video about six months ago and it changed my playing completely. Really phenomenal video

[@shuflleduty]

I just want to say how amazing you‘re little lessons have become. It is stunning how much I can learn in a 13 min‘ video of you in comparison to my years of inconsistent playing... Keep your doing what youre doing man - the likes speak for themselves.

[@galenfrazer8541]

I never pass up on a "hendrix double stops" youtube lesson. This is a good one.

[@alexojeda8915]

This is exactly the video I was looking for! Understanding the pentatonic and being able to use double stops really enhances your guitar playing. Thank you for making it make sense!

[@wintaassefa8479]

Am I the only one who can't help but obsess over his obsessive color composition? Everything we see on the screen is intended to be visible, and it all comes together so wonderfully.

[@jeashleyiii]

It’s the first thing I noticed about this video :) I think that’s kinda the point

[@jye_24]

I think he’s just naturally tasteful

[@Hiro.the.God.]

Aesthetically pleasing.

[@gregcox9205]

I have to admit the only things i paid any attention to was his words, hands and guitar neck. I actually thought you were talking about the "color composition"of the 🎶 lol!

[@robotrooster3160]

I think it pops because he's as good at post production as he is with video composition. His color grading is on point. I can tell this dude is just enthusiastic about life in general, and loves mastering everything he touches.

[@thmp3r]

Man, you are so smart - such a great teacher and player. So clear

[@97warlock]

I was on a few other "instructor" type pages, been trying to learn Something new, but.......I think its all in how easy it is to follow what the instructor is saying as well as how slowly they demonstrate what it is their teaching as well as how enjoyable or non stressful it is trying to understand whats being taught or shown ....... So Ive been on the other 2 channels for many weeks, trying to not give up & learn SOMETHING, but no matter what its always too advanced or too complicated or isnt something that I think I could use. .. Stumbled onto your channel tonight , watched 3 videos - Im subscribing. Good work man, slight bit of occasional humor, clear with your demonstrations & you dont fly thru the stuff youre demonstrating. , Thumbs Up =D

[@alanwallace4413]

I love the way you teach. You make it so easy to understand what you're talking about, and super easy to actually see what your fingers are doing in the demos. It's a seamless blend. If you ever get tired of teaching Guitar, I hope you take up teaching people how to teach Guitar. Future generations will thank you. Nvwadohiyada. (harmony to you)✌

[@marcusbarr1357]

This is probably the best teaching video I've ever come across on youtube

[@bonsaitigerMTB]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the last 3 mins of this video because every time I come back to it I get half way through and I’m already absolutely buzzing off how cool this sounds 😵🤩

[@JMartinDA]

This is what I've been looking to learn ever since I heard John Mayers solo on Slow dancing in a burning room, he uses a lot of these double stops. Took me years to find someone explain it as well as you!

[@dphotos007]

I love how you explain this so it gives the viewer inspiration to create out own licks and how to transfer to another chord shape and pentatonic scale.

[@hardtobearit]

OMG I needed this lesson. I've been trying to figure this out for ages. Really wanted to learn it to spice up my solo playing and such. Thank a bunch!

[@jonahcbarnett]

Paul I've played on and off for 25 years and the last 6-8 months of watching you has taught me more than two decades. Granted my focus wasn't always there, but you're a major contribution to me becoming the guitarist I want to be after all this time. Thank you.

[@1cleandude]

Amazing, some of the finest videos on KZbin and the little mites are worried about the fretboard!! Grow up people!! Great work Paul thanks for sharing your precious time and talent!!!

[@jimilo9313]

Paul, you’re absolutely an awesome guitarist. Simply because you make things look so simple when actually they are not

[@jakubgraus13]

That lamp introduction at 0:26 really made me laugh. Anyway quality stuff as always :)

[@bwise4691]

This only took 4 minutes and 20 seconds to blow my mind. Seriously, just a coincednce but this clicked in my playing that fast. I just picked up a guitar a year ago and have not put it down since. Thank you so much!

[@HerrMeier007]

Beautiful sound and chords. You have a very clean and fluid technique. I really enjoy your videos. keep it up.

[@phoenixmichaels]

I think you are A) a very clean player, and B) a good teacher! Lots of youngbloods can learn how to play with melody from you.

[@stu9000]

Amazing sound 🔥 Great class. This may be the single best guitar lesson i’ve ever seen. I vote for more ‘basic’ lessons!

[@agent_of_cthulhu]

Thanks for the lesson. I come to your channel often when I'm starting to feel burned out on playing guitar and your lessons always help to get me thinking about new ways to play and things to work on. Thank you.

Awesome stuff, dude! This is something all guitarists should have in their improvisational arsenal. Thank you. 💥

[@iamwhatichoosetobe3389]

Double stops are so beautiful. Thanks a lot, Paul! So intuitive and so well explained.

[@danxylight]

Where have you been all my life! Bless you!

[@psndsh]

This was so helpful Paul. I have been doing double stops just because it felt and sounded right but when you break it down, it makes whole lot of sense and now I play with purpose.

[@TrueBlueBoogie]

Outstanding Paul! Beautiful progressions. Thank you for breaking it down for us brother. Wish you had these shapes pasted off in the corner of the screen while you played - but that’s only because I’m a novice and slow on visualizing. I appreciate your generosity nonetheless brother.

[@williammcdonald9833]

I am not a beginner. Been playing for 25+ years and this video was awesome it showed me another perspective to incorporate scales into chord progressions and is so useful in every type of music. Thank you

[@iloovecats6567]

Wow! Always sounded so tough to play but now I can do it no problem.. Amazing tutorial! Thank you!

^^TRUTH^^

[@jordandangelo180]

Analogman King of Tone will do that. So versatile and doesn’t change the tone of the guitar or amp not even a little. I was lucky enough to get one for $80, ( I traded a few old pedals I wasn’t even playing ) and it’s the best overdrive along with the Duellist. Actually, I’d say it’s like a combination of the King Tone Blues Power and Duellist. Just compared the King of Tone with King Tone pedals and Paul is playing through a Tone King amp. The 3 Kings of guitar king 👑 👑 👑 haha

[@ntm112294]

So our chord progression is D A Bm G. I-V-vi-IV in D major. And you're telling me D major pentatonic, A major pentatonic, Bm pentatonic, and G major pentatonic all fit in the key of D major? Crazy

[@colinjohnson3814]

What'd be crazier is if dorian, phrygian, lydian, mixolydian, aeolian (minor), and locrian scales fit within the ionian (major) scale. Oh wait... they do... and they're all septatonic. Even better, what if keys didn't apply to what I just said. Oh wait... they don't.

[@dawidpawlikowski3512]

Great as always :-) How about a lesson on soloing on acoustic guitars? Differences between electric and acoustic techniques allowing it as well as making it sound the best without sustain and playability of an electric guitar. Thanks Paul! Keep it up, you're the best :-)

[@willem9688]

Dawid Pawlikowski good idea.

[@J-BirdFlysAgain]

Try putting elixir .9 extra light guitar strings on your acoustic. It takes about a week to break em in, but the tone is so vibrant and Loud. Also learn how to play with a heavier pick for more sound and sustain. Plus the light strings make an acoustic 100 percent easier to play for 12hrs at a time
