Guitar Lesson #40: Double Stop


A double stop, in music terminology, is the act of playing two notes simultaneously on a melodic percussion instrument (like a marimba) or stringed instrument (for example, a violin or a guitar). In performing a double stop, two separate strings are depressed ("stopped") by the fingers, and bowed or plucked simultaneously.

A triple stop is the same technique applied over three strings, while a quadruple stop is over four strings (which is all the strings on a violin). Double, triple, and quadruple stopping are collectively known as multiple stopping.
