In the video, it is specifically an interval of a 6th between the two notes of the double stops being played. This is a very common blues-rock technique. Sometimes it is accomplished by hybrid picking because you have to avoid the B string. Other times, players simply mute the B string while striking all 3 top strings.

Hope that helps for clarity! :)

Oh haha, okay! Hey, no problems I guess I never looked too into exactly what the Slash was doing, I was probably thinking too hard. I knew about the term double stops, but using 6ths specifically for a particular sound is something I did learn, so either way, more knowledge! yay!
