That is one of the better double stop explanations, great practical examples.

[@waynesworldofmandolin3616]

Thanks Timothy! You can expect more double stop themed sessions soon....

[@janbeverly1021]

I believe Wayne is the best, so talented. Thanks

[@waynesworldofmandolin3616]

Thanks so much Jan! I'll be diving into more double stop content soon....

Tons of beginner content on youtube. How refreshing to be able to dig in deep to advanced concepts with such clarity. I love your modal playing Wayne and the way you use these modes to move around in different keys. The idea of using a C chord scale to be able to move through my Dm work never occurred to me.

[@maplifiers]

Another excellent lesson. Thank you Wayne.

[@1965RonnieP]

Very helpful Wayne, Thank You !

[@paulcowham2095]

Thanks Wayne, that's a great lesson :) I kind of knew some of this stuff, but this really helped me. Thankyou

[@waynesworldofmandolin3616]

Thx Paul. More to come on double stops in the future for sure....

[@datkinson31]

[@waynesworldofmandolin3616]

Thx David. I intend to follow this up soon......

[@ScottBowmanMandolin]

[@waynesworldofmandolin3616]

Thx Scott. I hope to dive back in on some more double stop content soon....

[@ScottBowmanMandolin]

@@waynesworldofmandolin3616 don’t worry I will and am doing so, thanks for the amazing content man ✌🏻😎

[@jvtreacy]

This a good introduction to using the major and minor third double stops, and how they lay out on the mandolin. One small nit that I have is the use of the term half-diminished to describe a triad. The only time half-diminished should be used is to describe a type of 7th chord. The triad based on two stacked minor thirds is simply a diminished triad.

Thanks Wayne, Big help!!

[@waynesworldofmandolin3616]

You're welcome Roy. Glad this is a help. Try tranposing this concept to a different key .......

[@reckonimokie123]

Thanks a million,

[@waynesworldofmandolin3616]

You're welcome Teresa. Good luck with double stops and expect more on this topic in the future......

[@joeycovington4681]

Thanks again!

[@thepelican3810]

oh it helps, it helps a lot :)

[@waynesworldofmandolin3616]

The positive feedback helps me! Thanks....

[@reckonimokie123]

Double stops are root & 5th?

[@waynesworldofmandolin3616]

Double Stops can be a lot of things. Check out the Making Scales work for You video here on WWOM if you wanna go a little deeper on that subject......

[@jeffcantwell9701]

Question: what’s your opinion of a Fender A style? Would it be suitable for a beginner?

[@waynesworldofmandolin3616]

If the playability and intonation are ok then it would be suitable. I will say I've played a few of those mandolins thru the years and the "factory" set-ups were horrible.

[@9hewittd]

Can any major one just be made major just by flatting the 3rd?

[@waynesworldofmandolin3616]

Thx for the question Dan. A major chord can be made minor by lowering the 3rd a half step. Check out my video about minor chords in the "chord playlist".....

[@reckonimokie123]

Do you use light or medium strings?

Wayne you need to be a teacher in school. You can get the lesson across to where a beginner can understand the concept.

[@waynesworldofmandolin3616]

Thank you! Years of teaching one on one in person and Skype sessions definitely helped me when I started WWoM. Talking to the camera (cell phone) is still a challenge.....

[@vandoan7462]

Completely lost after 3:50. Latin.

[@waynesworldofmandolin3616]

Check out my Chord Scale video then come back to this one. Good luck and hang tuff.....
