What are double stop bends?

[Destroyed]

Just curious....and yes I should know this, but knowledge has to start somewhere amirite?

As far as know a double-stop bend is bending two strings at the same time.

A doublestop, generally used as a blues term, is when you play two notes at the same time, generally on 2 adjacent strings. THis way you can create different effects than with one note, at a basic level you can play a minor third like this:

e---8--------
B-----10------

or a major third like this:

e---9--------
B-----10------

Bending double stops would just be bending two notes (assuming you know what bending is).

Edit: Fixed major second error. :(

That's a major second, not a major third, :).

is it a doublestop bend if you only bend one string, and keep the other one straight while playing both? y'know, it makes for a nice wail if played at the right intervals. yeah is that a doublestop bend?

wait, it doesn't really matter, does it :upset:

Yes.
Remember, a double stop is just playing 2 notes at the same time.
