How to make electric rock guitar song intro part 2

In the last article I showed you how to use double stops as an effective tool to construct electric rock guitar intro. In this article I will introduce another electric rock guitar intro using double stops but adding an open string to spice up the chord progression.

By adding a open string to double stops, using a total of three notes, a modal chord progression is created. Have a look at the intro.


By using simple double stops forms like major and minor, and adding a open string, you can make a modal sounding chord progression. Try to find simple two note chords and try them with a open string. Move the chord form up and down the neck to test it's harmony against the open string.

Some will not sound good at all but there are many that will do. Learning the guitar is an trial and error. You should be able to find some nice chord forms with this method.
