  • -Guitar Lesson:
    Welcome to this tutorial where I'll be sharing a technique to add richness to your guitar playing. We'll start by taking a closer look at a C major chord, specifically the E-shaped chord. From there, we'll examine the intervals on the two strings of the chord. Next, we'll identify a suitable scale that can be played over this chord. For instance, we could use the C major scale and position our second finger on the sixth string. Finally, we'll apply the Double Stop technique to this scale and chord to achieve a beautiful, harmonized sound. I hope you find this tutorial useful and enjoyable. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
