In this new video, Sean Daniel and Ian Stich take on double-stops, which are prevalent in blues soloing. As Ian explains, it involves knowing your seventh chords and applying partials of those chords to create some of the familiar blues licks we’ve all heard for generations.

At the end of the lesson, Sean and Ian jam for a bit to demonstrate double-stops in use.

Take a look. And when you’re done, check out Sean’s lesson on how to write a blues turnaround^[1] and visit his YouTube channel^[2] for more great video lessons.
