These 5 Double Stops Changed My Guitar Playing

Learn 5 double stops that instantly improve your blues soloing and rhythm guitar — all in one position, perfect for blues, rock, or Hendrix-style licks.

Want to make your blues solos sound fuller and more expressive — even in a trio setting? In this lesson, I break down 5 essential double stop licks in the key of D, perfect for lead and rhythm players. Inspired by the sounds of Hendrix, Clapton, and Cream, these moves will thicken up your tone, help you break out of single-note soloing, and make your playing way more dynamic.

All 5 of these double stops live inside the D minor pentatonic/blues scale, so if you're familiar with that shape, you're good to go!
