This is really great information and an excellent demonstration Megan. I'm currently trying to figure out the double stops on the instrumental of Jimmy Martin's "Honey You Don't Know My Mind" in A. I've been scouring YT covers of this song without success on how to play it. This video has really helped. It sounds fabulous for a lot of tunes in A. Thank you so much. 👍
I'm going to Sore Fingers this April in Brian Wicklund's class. In the meantime, I'll work through your new book in preparation. Please keep the videos coming, they're really good.
I call it my warm up stretch lick(s). I start out with that intro to She Thinks my Tractors sexy. But yes, into those bluesy double stops and slides. I just go fine to course. But I'm gonna try course to fine. I should work on my 1,4,5 double stops in E, but my arthritis makes me put it off. THANKS!
Thanks for the lessons Megan. I am working on my double stops and know some theory. Is that a 7th cord sliding down to a 9th chord? Are there other uses of extended chords?
Hey Joe, it's mostly focusing on using the flat 7 note as a passing tone toward the 4 chord. And in bluegrass and other forms of traditional music, that's about as much as you'll see in terms of extended chords. As you get more into swing and modern acoustic music you'll have more of that.
Love the fiddle, but am not a player. Earlier this morning, I was listening to your version of 'Tune For Andy'. I think a buncha double stops going on there, yeah?

Oh excellent, I'm so glad this is helpful!
@@MeganLynchChowningIt was VERY helpful, thank you. Can you perhaps demonstrate some more of these double stop progressions please.? Cheers. 🤔
You are just the best!!!❤
Shucks, Bill!
I love this! So fun to play!! I've been working on my double-stop chord progressions and this is just what I needed. Thanks!!
Yes! I love when the timing works out like that.
What a great lick. Awesome
Yay!
Wow I'm going to try this
Excellent!
Very cool!
Thank you!
These little videos are fantastic !! Please come and do some workshops over here in the UK.
I'd love to - I haven't taught over there since Sorefingers in 2008 but I'd be happy to come back some time!

@@martincole2213 I hope you had fun with Brian - he's always a blast. And I know you had fun at Sorefingers in general. One of the best camps!

Ha, yes!

You bet - you've got a good ear!
My little hands can’t do a 4 on the D and a 1-2 on the A 😢. Do you have some exercises I can do to strengthen or tips to accomplish this?
I totally understand. Start with just going 3 to 4, 3 to 4, then 2 to 4, then 1 to 4, then 4 without anything before it. That will help!
