quadruple stop

For a quadruple-stop, you can think of it as "two plus two" - GD to AE. Place the bow on the G and D, and then roll to the A and E. Use less than half of the bow for the bottom two strings; you can trust that they will ring.

1. to produce two tones simultaneously on a stringed instrument by drawing the bow over two strings at the same time. noun.

Triple stops Three strings sounded together. A section will normally play a triple stop divisi (i.e. notes shared out between instruments). On a solo instrument, triple stops only work at loud dynamics, otherwise they would be arpeggiated. A minor. G major.

A double stop in sheet music looks like two notes sitting on top of each other. Double stops are always played on two different strings simultaneously, so you'll need to figure out where the two notes should be played – in which position and on which string.

Violins come in nine different sizes: 4/4, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/10, 1/16, and 1/32. 4/4 (full size) being the biggest and 1/32 size being the smallest. Most all adults use a full size violin.

Then two four means there are two crotchet beats in a bar two quarter note beats and a bar. Four four means that there are four crotchet beats in a bar. Or four quarter note beats in a bar.

Triple stops Three strings sounded together. A section will normally play a triple stop divisi (i.e. notes shared out between instruments). On a solo instrument, triple stops only work at loud dynamics, otherwise they would be arpeggiated.

They sound brighter and more strident than fingered notes so it is hard to balance and blend them with fingered notes. If the double stop contains an open string so tuning and finger placement should not be an issue, I have found players will often still ignore it and divide.

A triple-stop requires that three strings get equal energy at three playing points (the parts of the hair in direct contact with the string at any given moment). To do that, find the exact angle, speed and "sweet-spot" pressure where the hair can touch and engage all three strings, without crunching.

[English] The performance of three notes simultaneously on a bowed string instrument.

There are several specific double-stops that are commonly used to create consonant, melodic phrases on guitar, namely:

• Major and minor thirds.
• Fourths.
• Major and minor sixths.
• Octaves (the root note of a chord, combined with the same tone an octave higher)

An x placed after the fingering number indicates a forward extension: 4x means extend the 4th finger forward to play the note.
