English term or phrase: descending pentatonic double-stops
I've also seen this term referred to as "minor pentatonic double-stops". It is supposedly a Chuck Berry's invention that revolutionized guitar playing, a paradigm in rock('n'roll) music. The real problem here is particularly the term "double-stops". Is there any flexible way to translate it into Polish without making it more convoluted than it already is (i.e. transforming it into a unified, intuitive term)?

Explanation:
Wg kilku słowników double-stops to dwudźwięki. Co do 'descending', to nie jestem pewna, przetłumaczyłam to z 'minor' na 'molową', ale z tego co czytałam, to jest 'descending minor' i 'ascending minor', więc trzeba je jakoś odróżnić. Więcej informacji tutaj: http://www.tititudorancea.com/z/minor_scale.htm

Dwudźwięk zwany jest albo 'dyad' albo właśnie 'double stop'.
