Hi JD,
Here’s a lesson on chordal scales: https://fiddlehed.com/chordal-scales-technique-lesson/
You need to place your fingers on the tips for most double stops so that you don’t put other strings.I recommend you submit a video for feedback. Go here to do that: https://fiddlehed.com/support/video-feedback-lessons/
You can email me if you still have questions.
cheers

Great technique for jams that are maybe just a bit above our skill level. I think listening and playing backup chords really help and just sitting in on the sessions trains your mind to move a little faster. Although you may need to sit in a few sessions before you feel comfortable doing it, when it is your turn to lead a tune, don’t defer! Then set the tempo at your comfort level. It won’t hurt all those speed demons to play one correctly at a slower tempo!
