The arpeggios are pretty difficult, but I will master them. I only have a little problem with my left fingers. I´m not sure how I should grip the following passage: CODE --------------------12----16-14-16-12----12-------\| --12----------12-------12-------------12----12----\| -----13-11-13----13----------------------------13-\| --------------------------------------------------\| --------------------------------------------------\| --------------------------------------------------\| Should I play the notes on the 12th fret with a barré or each note with another finger?

But I found it easier to play with barre, especially the last part, but it's up to you.... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
