In this video Mark Smith refers to a double stop as a two note chord, so I guess it’s a chord.

Interesting, I’d never heard the term “double-stop.” Yes, any time two or more notes are played at once, it’s a chord. Specifically, for two notes, a dyad (had to look that up to remember it). At least for every other instrument I have played.
“Double-stop” looks like a term that started with guitars, cool. Learn something every day.
@John_E - I’ve only played two monophonic instruments and only one of those for any length of time, so I’m far from an expert, but I remember “arpeggios” as a thing on those too

I thought it was quite older than guitar. Here’s what I found.
The invention of the double-stop is generally credited to violinist Carlo Farina , whose Capriccio Stravagante (1627) was published in Dresden while he was Court-Violinist at Saxony.
Edit: I have a vague memory of learning this on the B2B course. I may be wrong.

I am sure the technique goes way back. I’m kind of curious where the english term came from.

Nice!
Getting the first few under my fingers today. Need to record them tomorrow.
I can see how these are really useful for dexterity and fret hand control already.

Awesome! Looking forward to it.
For #18, the sheet music doesn’t match what he is playing. At least to me.
I played this one the way I heard it.

Man. These escalated quickly from the Peter Gunn and Louie Louie soundalikes this all started with

I am really glad I started these.
They certainly help with dexterity and control, and are actually a lot of fun.
Also learning how to video edit a whole bunch of files.
Here are the first 5.
Perfect - no, but I am good with it.
I do feel like I hear improvement as I go.
I was originally going to wait to get the testbed bass back from having the pickguard done and do different pickup combos in each groove but can’t wait any longer, so will cycle through some basses as I go.
EDIT: I just realized that by combining the first 5 audio files Abelton matched the bpm of all 5 drum tracks, so I am going to go back and redo these, arrghh.

I just went back and watched some of your first ones, you have really progressed a lot!!
Hoping I get to the same level as you as I go.
WOW.

Nice @John_E! Good start and it sounded great!
My original intent was to record these in groups of 5 as well but ended up doing them individually.

Thanks!
Yes I feel I’m doing better and it’s getting easier to play stuff. Still have a long way to go, but I think these exercises have helped me a lot.

Thanks. Going to redo them with the right speed tracks. I knew something was off on some with tempo but it didn’t hit me until I was done. I pulled all 5 audio clips into abelton and it automatically matched the tempo of the first clip (which I knew I’d did and forgot).

I like #19. This one is fun to play!
The ghost notes sound ghostier in real life. They sound more like a full note in the recording.

Here is my #1-#5 fixed.
Turns out #2-#4 were already faster than the original tracks by a few clicks so I just left them.
I had to redo #5 which was much slower than it should have been!

another great one, I am really glad I started these.
They are quick (ish) and fun as heck.

#5 sounds much better at speed. Good job!
#20 looks impossible! I’m gonna be there for a while!
