Hi.
Does any of us know a pro guitar player who primarily uses "double-stops" in their playing? Also wondering if, as a player using only (mostly) double stops...would you be able to function in a rock/metal band? I'm speaking solely playing riffs/rhythms?

Hmmmm. I'm a h-u-g-e KISS fan. Can you tell me some songs ( a beginner) should be able to grasp?
Just so I'm clear...."double-stops", are two notes played at the same time...right? Anywhere on here I can find more info on this?. This post has been edited by LYNCH-FAN: Jun 18 2008, 01:36 AM |

Mark Knopfler uses alot of double stops as well.
And by the suggestion of your name, Lynch does alot of double stop work too, but not nearly as much as Knopfler. As far as being effective only playing double stops, i don't know i can really answer that. You would have to try it and see, i don't see why you couldnt, but you would have to really develop a unique style to pull it off effectively imo. And yes, Doublestops means playing 2 notes at once. Another guitarist that i can think of that uses alot of double-stops and chords layered into his lead work is Andy Timmons, i think Timmons has the best of both worlds with his lead playing.

Arguably the one who pioneered double stops was the jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery - you can hear Wes's influence on early George Benson recordings as well.
