#272 - Arpeggio Picking Workout CHALLENGE
Added 2023-05-05 14:30:01 +0000 UTCMy friends, it's time to work on our technique skills once again! I just returned from a 2-week work vacation, and I created this workout challenge for my routine - so I want to share it with you :)
Here are your files for this workout challenge (play-along video, tabs, guitar pro, backing tracks): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/17vSTrgltQXXVacoMKsvrG3WXlLHtodLn?usp=sharing
This is not only a great picking routine, it's also quite challenging for your fretting hand - keep an eye on your pinky and try to keep it as close to the neck as possible!

I struggle with measures 10 and 11 keeping the alternate picking displine. I have to accentuate the up / down motion to keep from using two up or two downstrokes comming back from 6th to 5th string

2023-05-22 11:38:03 +0000 UTCIs it okay if I subconsciously switch to economy picking when doing the triplets parts?
2023-05-22 00:28:20 +0000 UTCthe triplets session is the easy one. i can easily hit the 120 bpm on that...the arpeggio is challenging though

2023-05-09 10:56:37 +0000 UTCFor the arp. section, the guitar notes fall into the E harmonic minor, and the bass notes are B G A B, which are the V, III, and IV of that scale. The 16th note section guitar notes and bass notes fit nicely with the E natural minor. Though B Phrygian kinda fits well, too.

2023-05-05 20:03:08 +0000 UTCThanks! This is great! Are you using your index and middle fingers on the first two bars on the b and g strings so you don't anchor the index finger on the e string?

2023-05-05 16:33:07 +0000 UTCreally cool exercise as always Bernth! I'm playing the last measure one repetition of the 15-17-19 and then I go to the 17-19-20 for the last half but still ending on the 19 for the high E, sounds pretty nice with the feeling of the backing track
