double stops

[lukeism]

i have a question regarding these, i usually use the barring technique of my index finger to cover two notes. but when i play iron maiden i seem to fumble a bit. am i doing them wrong?, or should i just practice more.

You can bar them with a single finger, or use two fingers, like ring and pinky. It really depends on the situation. Try whatever seems practical and see what works better.

FYI: double stops can be any two notes, not just the ones played with a single finger on two adjacent strings.

yeah man, double stops are based on intervals so you can play fiths, fourths, seconds, thats the fun of double stops, check out george benson so u see what i'm talking about
