Hi all! Hope everyone's doing well.

There's more to the pentatonic scale than just blues and rock licks. In this video, I use everybody's favourite scale as a source of classic soul-style double stops. It's an easy and effective way to get some different sounds from familiar scale patterns.

Everything I talk about in the video is tabbed out below: scale patterns, licks and the piece I play at the top of the video.

Hope you enjoy watching!

I'll see you next week - I've spent the last couple of weeks planning and working on new content and there's some exciting stuff coming up.

Well I haven't even looked at the details yet but my wife loves the sound. So do I.

Dude, you are my favourite guitarist on the planet, never mind on YouTube. Brilliant, every single time.

Phil Atkin

So, conceptually, or harmonically, is the "note" being played the lower of the two or the higher?

Jim Moore

Outstanding Lesson !!!

I don't know why but you speak italian and the result is bad . I prefer the original language if possible.

Yes, I think YouTube has started automatically dubbing the videos. I've now switched it off for this video and disabled it for future videos, so should be OK now!

Really interesting question. I don't know if there's a definitive answer. People hear and perceive these things differently. For me in this context I'm generally hearing the top note as the 'main' note. But it depends. Often with vocal harmonies, for example, the main note is the lower one.

John Weatherford

A marvelous opening piece, and well played. And based on an uncomplicated concept you make understandable. Thank you.

Chris Hawkins

I often find myself fumbling around trying to do, what I call the 2 note harmony. Now I know what double stops are, and more importantly, how to form them. I can practice them now in a proper manner. They are so effective and sound great. Much thanks for explaining them, in a simple to understand way. Awesome…!!

Superb directly, usable lesson. Great instruction on tasty fills as advertised. I will also add harmonized minor and major pentatonic scales to the caged workout from several months ago.

Great lesson Adrian. This feels like one I will be spending some time on as I work through triads and the geographically aligned pentatonic scale. Love the vibe of this intro piece also!

Adrian, thanks for this lesson. I was able to pick up the "song" allot easier than I expected. This is really a fun way to perform the calisthenics of learning double stops. Keep up the good work!

Chris Williams

Amazing lesson sir. When one's guitar playing improves after only 19 miuntes, you know that the lesson is valuable and useful.

Tom Brunelle

First timer here. Love this piece! And the lesson,

Great lesson , Adrian ! Wonderful intro part ! Maybe the start of another piece of music !

I don't know if it's because I'm using Safari but I as I can't message you with this lesson idea. I'm putting it here in the hope that you will see it: using diminished chords as bridging chords, and in place of dominant sevenths in blues, country, and rockabilly settings.
