Double Stops in Thirds and Fourths: Week One
 

Double stops are an integral part of the mandolin’s unique sound, and they’re a great way to add an additional bit of harmony to melody lines. In this series of workouts, Ethan shows you double stops in thirds and fourths on all the string sets in the key of G, and shows you how to fill out the melodies of the fiddle tune “Shove That Pig's Foot a Little Further Into the Fire” and the bluegrass standard “Long Journey Home” with double stops and drones. In the first week’s workout, Ethan shows you double stops in thirds and fourths for all three string pairs moving up and down the string sets.
