  • Hey guys!

    In this lesson we will play a nice solo, built essentially around a couple of arpeggios.
    It's useful in order to discover different chord shapes on the fretboard.

    I use a lot of sweep and alternate picking in this lesson and that is a nice exercise you can do to test your control of the guitar! Remember to play it slow and to figure out the chord shape before practicing it at the normal speed.

    Of course, pay attention to the timing.
