Quote:

You've got to be kidding, Mac....Rhythm and blues playing guitarists have been using double stops since the cows came home... Recall a fellow named Chuck Berry, then check memory cells for a Texan named Johny Winter, and most blues guitarists of our generation including, Clapton, Duane Allman, all the Kings, Hendrix, and Stevie Ray Vaughn, and most slide players as well. ...



I would never kid about something so important (grin).

You must have overlooked the part I wrote about *scale-based* double-stop runs.

The example you cite is not a Double Stop. Duane was *arpeggiating* there, and he used a slide, which would make the scalar motion double stop in 3rds or 6ths unable to cross from major to minor on the steps of the scale where needed. And the two notes must be played simultaneously to do what I'm talkin' about. -- "Brown Eyed Girl" man.

And Georgie don't play no double stop scale runs.

Now, if you had mentioned Skunk Baxter...
