Ready to channel Slash’s legendary Guns N’ Roses guitar style? Learn how to play double stops and more with these 25 essential tips!

Double Stops: Fret two strings (e.g., 12th fret E string + 13th fret B string) and pick together for a powerful sound.

Minor Thirds: Play E and G (12th E + 13th B) in E minor pentatonic for a bluesy feel.

Major Thirds: Use C and E (8th fret B + E strings) over a C chord to outline harmony.

Fourths: Try E and A (12th E + 15th B) for a rock edge.

Fifths: Hit E and B (7th A + 9th D) for a heavy, power chord vibe.

E Minor Pentatonic: Master the E, G, A, B, D scale for double-stop positions.

Natural Minor: Add the E natural minor scale (E, F#, G, A, B, C, D) for melodic solos.

Bending: Bend one note (e.g., 13th B string) in a double stop while holding the other.

Vibrato: Add vibrato by shaking your fretting finger for Slash’s emotive phrasing.

Slides: Slide from 10th to 12th fret on E and B strings for smooth transitions.

Hammer-Ons: Hammer-on from 12th to 15th fret B string, holding 12th E.

Pull-Offs: Pull-off from 15th to 12th B in double stops for fluidity.

Downstrokes: Pick double stops with downstrokes for an aggressive attack.

Palm Muting: Lightly mute strings with your palm for tight, chugging riffs.

Chromatic Passing Tones: Add a 14th fret B string note between double stops for tension.

Bluesy Phrasing: Combine bends and slides in E minor pentatonic for soulful lines.

Dynamic Phrasing: Vary picking intensity—soft for intros, hard for climaxes.

Chord Progression: Play double stops over C-Am-F-G to complement chords.

High-Gain Amp: Set up a Marshall-style high-gain amp for Slash’s gritty tone.

Humbuckers: Use a Les Paul with Seymour Duncan Alnico II pickups for warmth.

Overdrive: Add a touch of overdrive for sustain and bite.

Delay: Apply a 300ms delay for epic, soaring solos.

Reverb: Use light reverb to give double stops a spacious feel.

Bridge Pickup: Select the bridge pickup for cutting, aggressive riffs.

Neck Pickup: Switch to the neck pickup for smooth, bluesy double stops.
