A fast descending pattern to get you down the neck in style.

Master the diatonic pattern once and for all using systematic approach! In this lesson (which is the second in line) we will cover 3 note per string method. 3 notes on every string make 7 patterns starting from every note of the scale. If you want to learn to shred you just HAVE to learn this.

This is the easiest lesson on Arpeggiated Chords, where all the notes were played in sequences, from the lowest one to the highest. The picking motion is not the constant alternate one you are accustomed to, but follows the same rules of economy picking.

Welcome to this little bitta Bluegrassy Chet Atkins viberoony thing! This tune is easy enough to play once you get the components in position. Namely the righthand picking pattern (repetitive) and then the simple lefthand partial chords. Basically the same righthand pattern is used throughout, just changing the emphasis (or loud/softness) on certain notes.

An etude for your practice routine. This also can be used as a warm-up exercise.

Practicing the right hand movement, alone, even stopping all six strings with left hand, will make you learn this pattern faster.

The second lesson on Arpeggiated chords, we will keep to analyze and practice in a musical way the most common patterns from simple to complex.

In this series we will go through some main stages of making a good sounding jazz composition. Many people think that scales and arpeggios are what are most important, but chords are actually the most important thing.

I always use this kind of exercises for warming up, before a gig, before recording, even before my practice routine.
