Hey Ben,

I'm pretty new to GMC and have really enjoyed your Becker and Malmsteen made easy lessons, there's huge amount of content on here and was wondering if you could recommend an arpeggio lesson similar to the Becker & Malmsteen lessons? Reason I ask is the level of these are really great for me at the moment, nice bit of technical content, bit of theory, and not ball breaking to get down ;-). Also melodically you do a great job delivering fun lessons to learn so thought you might have a Sweeping Arpeggio lesson in a similar vain?

Thanks as always,
Trev

This might be a little fast , but I found starting with three string arps and then adding strings gradually works well

Hi Trev,

Speaking of Becker.. and arpeggios... try this one out

http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Sliding-Arpeggios-Jason-Becker-Style/

It's a bit tricky to memorise and play in time but the speed is manageable and gives ideas on how to shift between shapes

Thanks guys, a bit of a step up on both of those and I'll put some grind in there next ;-) cheers.

Don't forget that just because a lesson is recorded at a certain tempo you don't have to play it at that tempo... learning it and keeping it at a manageable tempo means you can get the goods out of any lesson on the site

From there, you can work on whatever sections you like at your own pace.
