The simplest way to think about harmony in the key of G is, using G as the root note, harmonize with that note by using the 3rd (B) and 5th (D) degrees of the scale (the notes that make up the G chord). We can use the B or D notes above or below the G note to form a simple two or three note harmony.
In the standard notation and tablature shown below I've first laid out the G scale on the G string (figure 1-1). Next I've laid out the same scale form on the B string starting with the B note (figure 1-2). In figure 1-3, I've shown how these two scales played together form a harmonized scale. Playing two harmonized notes together on two adjacent strings is referred to as a “double-stop.” When you play through the harmonized scale play the two notes as if they were one.
