When you “build your own blues” tune out of different elements, it can be a challenge to “find” anything outside of your normal open position “box 1” pattern that you’re really comfortable with…
So I thought I’d show you some double stop ideas that I like to use, even though they’re outside of the scale… and one really doesn’t make any sense but I love the sound of it.
Have fun:
More of this type of thing can be found in Acoustic Blues Guitar Unleashed…

These look and sound great. Can’t wait to try them out
Are these double stops movable? For instance, can you use the same structure (minor 3rd, major 6th) for the IV and V chord, too, or are they mainly to emphasize the root? Thanks – good stuff.
Awesome, I’m actually on a ukelele, but like your style,
Thanks Griff. Good beginner stuff! Always something to learn! I’ve been following you for a long time. Your my favorite teacher!
Thanks, Griff! I now have this idea to play with! Plus, I want to hear how you can practise inspired by yourself! I need to find a download of it!
@ Clem: I like to play “on the porch… out of earshot of most people”, too, except the animals that might hear me either Howl or run away, LOL! Keep on playing, anyway. GOD BLESS
Really liked this lesson, as a beginner, I mostly play “on the porch” out of earshot of most people, except for the few animals that might listen.
