Double stop licks in Monroes 'Tennessee Blues'
Just working on playing this "as it was wrote" on the original recording. Got pretty much all of it down and up to speed apart from those double stop licks, one at 1.09 on the recording, the other at 2.30. For some reason, I am struggling figuring those out. Very grateful if anyone can enlighten me...
Thanks in advance.

That's 7/11 (on A/D strings), to 12/11 (throw the pinky on and hold the 7/11 shape), back to 7/11, then to 10/11 (ring finger) at both places.

Many thanks!
For some reason I was just not hearing that right. Helps a lot.

I had the same problem with Bill's "Uncle Pen" and then I found that he was doing double stops on the open A & E strings! I'd never even considered that ... live and learn ...
