  • Hey there GMC army!

    Time for some nice arpeggios in the style of Guthrie Govan, played over a dreamy Lydian progression! If you have listened to his song called ‘Waves’ you are most likely going to recognize the style and emulate it with the aid of this lesson!

    Here’s what you will be able to improve:

    - sweep picking
    - arpeggio shapes
    - following a progression by using arpeggios
    - building stamina
    - melodic approach to phrasing
