How to do a “Double Stroke”

How to do a “Double Stroke”

posted on February 6, 2021

This technique will help you project certain notes in a musical texture with ease and consistency. It might feel a little unusual to repeat a finger on purpose but done with intention and a little choreography it can be a great technique to help your musical goals.

The name “Double Stroke” is a bit of a placeholder for me and I am not really sure what to call this technique. If you have heard of other names or you want to come up with a new one, please feel free to write it in the comments below.

    ‘Double Stroke’ is fine.

    Simple and effective …

    Can we see some detail on that knee stand of yours? Perhaps a video on the subject?

    Great examples! The old fashioned word for the E string on a violin (or those one or two top strings on a lute) was “chanterelle”. So it is kind of bringing out a singing voice, so to speak.

    I’ve heard this referred to as a ‘flamenco drag’
