  • Hi there, and welcome to a new lesson.
    This lesson is completely focused on beginners who want to learn this very useful technique called Sweep Picking.
    in this lesson we´ll play many arpeggios in every note of a scale, A-B-C-D-E-F-G- but, each chord will be played out of one particular scale. So, at first, we play all major arpeggios for each note, and then, all minor arpeggios for each note.
    Pay attention on timing, and learn the lesson in slow tempo. You can increase tempo as you want it, but remember: whatever be the tempo you will be working on this, the goal is to play it well, not only at high speed.

    What an arpeggio is: An arpeggio is a group of notes which are played one after the other, either going up or going down. All the notes belong to one chord.

    I hope you like this lesson!
    Take it step by step and have fun!
