Advanced: Guitar Bushido Options

GUITAR BUSHIDO: ADVANCED

Congratulations warrior for taking your first step on the path..

TASK 1: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Picking-Arpeggios/

You're thinking 'That's strange.. he's given us a level 3 lesson'. Well, technically, it isn't that hard. Physically it's a different story. If your hands are not used to stretching for chords like this, then they will be burning after a few minutes The picking pattern is also a good test for your accuracy.

When you put this whole lesson together, this serves as a great warm up exercise. It gets the blood flowing through the fingers because it engages the muscles and tendons that you need when playing the guitar.

If you master it whilst sat down, then it will be another challenge to play it whilst standing. So, there's lots of fun to be had !

Your task is to record and upload a version of this lesson by Wednesday 1st Feb. As you are the highest group you have the biggest responsibility to the Temple. For every task that is forfieted, you will be made to 100 pushups 3 times a day with a broken arm.. for a week. Have a nice day

Ok, this take is so embarrasing that I won't dare even uploading it to youtube . To be honest I've never really played or practiced playing chords (except powerchords and basic major/minor shapes), and changing chords was always difficult for me. And this stretch.. My fingers are too short for it . Also I've noticed that it's harder to play that stretchy chord on the second fret not only because of bigger stretch, but also because of the note order. Normally I would put index and ring fingers first, and then stretch pinky kind of from the ring finger (using it as support). When I first have to put index and pinky, the pinky assumes wrong position, and as a result the string under it becomes muted.

And timing is all over the place as I've tried not to mess up everything else so much that I didn't pay attention to it. Oh well, I need more practice with chords .

Hey that's not bad at all ! I could tell you found the add9 chords a bit tricky but overall the piece still sounded good. I liked the tone as well

Task 2 awaits you
