Joe Pass Chord Licks 4: Bluesy Double-Stops
Another classic Joe Pass chord sound is double-stops.This run is built off
of a series of 6ths running down a C9 arpeggio.Here is where Joe differs
from a lot of other jazz guitarists when it comes to double-stops.Normally,
cats would run up or down a scale using double-stops, normally 3rds or
6ths, but in Joe’s case, he likes to also run down arpeggios using two-note
harmonizations.This line is tricky to get down, especially at a quick speed,
but once you have it under your fingers it will really add a nice touch to
your dominant chords, especially in the context of a blues or bluesy
sounding phrase.
