Another great lesson. Too few guitarists pay attention to their rhythm playing. You can learn so much from Blues, R&B, and Soul players like Cornell Dupree, Steve Cropper, and Curtis Mayfield. And it can be applied to many genres of music.
Funny, cause I couldn’t help thinking of Mick Taylor the whole time. Even if he didn’t invent that, I mainly learned it from him. Also, you almost played the intro of Roxy Music’s “If there is something” from their first album. A good way to start with 6th double stops.
You can take your pick among 2 approaches. 1. Learn theory so you *know* what's right. (Use the C mixolydian, harmonize in 6ths for each note of the scale, and use that.) 2. To get from one chord to another, experiment and use what you think sounds good. I recommend approach #2. Don't worry about whether you should use "crooked" or "straight". Pick one, try it. If it sounds good, it is good. If you don't like it, try the other. I don't cover approach #1 here, but it's reasonable if you're not intimidated and want to take the time to learn the theory and practice enough to get it into your ears and fingers.
Help me, I don’t understand how you arrived at E as a sixth of C. E is a third and in the chord, also the diagram showed the E string 5th fret which is an A.
Ah, right. The A is mis-labeled in that first diagram. Sorry about that. Perhaps I'll be able to cut that diagram out with the TH-cam editor. (Can't change it, but I can probably cut it.) With C and E, they're separated by an interval of a 6th if you count down from C. Count down 6 notes from C ... you get E. 6 notes. So E is a 3rd up from C, but a 6th down from C. (E, F, G, A, B, C ... that's 6 notes) Sometimes a 6th is called an "inverted 3rd". Most people find this confusing, so that's why I recommend avoiding it in the video. Just to be clear. I'm not recommending you learn 6ths by counting (either forwards or backwards). That's the whole discussion around using pieces of a chord and moving between chords. If you think: 1) I'm using a piece of a chord, and 2) I'm trying to get from one chord to another, then you'll be able to use 6ths immediately without worrying about counting or whether you need to use the Ionian or Mixolydian or Dorian mode to do it. You instantly find the 2 shapes for any pair of 2 strings and you're using your ears to find what sounds good to you.

Thanks, and well said!
Cropper, Dupree, and Mayfield are the holy trinity of this style for me. I love fourths as well.
Really like your teaching style and the genre of music you play. Thanks.
My pleasure!
Nicely Done Man 😊
Thanks!
I love c7. I was just playing last train to Clarksville today before work. Mark, thank you.
STOP Monkeeing around! (sic)
@@DMSProduktions lol. Nice!!
@@davidp7833 Indeed!
Rock on!
John Foggerty used these types of double stops alot also!
Absolutely.

The blues at the end sounds similar to the melody of “Blue Monk,” a tune I dearly love.
Interesting!
Very cool! Thx for
Glad you liked it!
Good lesson Mark
Thank you!
Thanx Marc 👍
My pleasure.

Glad you enjoyed it
good video. thanks.
Glad you liked it!
Very nice
Thanks
How do know when to use crooked or straight.

@@MarkZabel thank you for your lessons, I’m 73 and always looking for something new
@@MarkZabelthanks I was confused as well
Awesome video to be honest have a great day Mark my best friend ❤😊
Thanks! You too!
👍👍👍
Thanks!
great video, but at 2'44" you named the 6th as 'E' , this should be A ;-)
I was very confused too… thought I must not be able to count to 6 in the C scale… still a great lesson. Always enjoy your method of teaching.
Thanks both of you. As soon as I can, I'll delete that diagram, as it was mislabeled.
