_ [Db] Hi everybody, Corey at Gemini Guitar.
Welcome to this video.
This one is a short one today to break up some double stop riffing ideas.
_ _ [C]
Okay, so basically what a double stop is, is when we position our finger [Ab] over the [C] same
fret on two adjacent strings.
Now in this case, _ [F] the fourth and the [Bbm] third string.
_ _ The first double stop we're going to [C] play is at fret two.
[D] So position the first [G] finger over the second [Ab] string.
[C] _ _ _ Should sound like [Am] this. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ The other double [E] stops we'll be looking at will just run across onto the [Ab] same string.
But we'll be at fret five [C] and _ _ _ fret [Abm] seven, at which point [C] we'll use our third [D] finger. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [N] _ File one sounds a bit like this, slower tempo.
[A] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [D] _ [A] _ _
_ _ [N] Now what you'll notice in, _ _ _ sorry, what you'll notice is going on here is that we're playing
the double stop and then we're going back [E] to the open fifth string and palm [Ab] muting that.
And this creates an overlapping sort of effect.
Okay, so we play the double stop at fret two and the fifth string [A] twice. _ _ _ _
Go to fret five, same thing.
[C] _ _
[A] _ _ _ [B] Fret seven.
_ [D] _
[A] _ _ _ [Am] Back to fret five. _
_ _ _ So [F] we're getting [Ab] us pretty much groupings of [A] three.
_ _ _ [C] _ _
[A] _ _ [D] _ [A] _ _ _ [C] _ [A] _
_ [C] But we need something to end off the riff with.
So what I've chosen to do here today is [G] _ _
[Ab] play the double stop at fret seven again, but bend
up a half step and then bring that back.
Now basically to do the bend, it's not a full step, so you don't need to bend it big.
[N] _
You'll need to really squeeze down in order to pull it away.
So it should sound something a bit like this.
_ [D] _
_ So [Ebm] _ [D] _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ [C] basically then we end up with something to [F] this effect.
[Db] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [C] _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
[A] _ _ [C] _ [A] _ _ _ [Ebm] _ [D] _
_ _ [G] So we bend up and [D] release. _
[Am] Pick the fifth fret.
_ _ _ [D] _ [F]
[Ab] Now we can hammer on [C] back to the seventh fret double stop.
[D] _ [Gb] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [F] Now in the second time around, there's none of that [N] at the end.
What we do here is play an open G5 power chord.
[C] And it's a lot shorter, this idea.
So we play the second fret, then the fifth [A] string. _ _
[C] Fifth fret, then the fifth string.
Sorry, fifth fret double stop, then the fifth string.
_ [A] _ _
[F] Then the open [G] G5 power chord. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ So you get something [Am] like this.
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N]
Now really the only other bit to explain, because [F] [C] the next bit after that is the same
as what we did in the first two bars, so [Fm] I'm going to [C] skip across then to bar seven.
_ And what you're going to do here is something like [A] this.
_ [F] _ _
[A] _ _ _ [C] _ Third fret on the fifth string, pull the open G.
_ [A] _ [N] Go to fret three on the string [G] six.
_ [C] Then fret _ one [F] on string [C] six.
So _ [A] that's [G] _ [F] _ _ [Gm] third fret fifth [C] string, pull the open.
_ [A] _ _ _ [Gb] So [C] that's what we've done. _
_ _ So that's what we did. _ _
[G] So three on string six.
Then one on [F] string six.
[C] _ _ _ [F] _ [G] Back to fret three on string six.
_ And then finishing with an A5 [A] power chord.
_ _ [F] Which is the double stop that you did at the beginning over [G] the second fret, fourth and [Am] third string.
Plus the open fifth string with [A] it. _
[D] Okay, to end things off, [F] I'll be doing this one at a slower tempo, [Db] once through.
Don't forget [G] too that you can get the tab for this at the website, gemini-guitar.com [F].au
And [Em] that will help you a lot.
[N] Here we go.
One, two, three, four.
[A] _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ [D] _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ One, two, three, four.
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[C] _ [D] _ [A] _ [Gm] _ [F] _ _ [A] _ _
