Thanks guys!
Ajmurrell: I don't have a forum board. You can write to my profile. 
Alex8729th October 2008Good job man
Ajmurrell28th October 2008This lesson is so much fun, I've learnt all the fingerings so now its metronome grinding time
This is where the GMC instructional videos really shine out above the rest, with the multiple angle shots so I can really work out the fingerings and picking technique. I tried learning the Malmsteen arpeggio thing that he did via youtube video's and just couldn't find a comfortable fingering pattern to nail it.
Do you have a forum board where we can post questions about this piece? I can't seem to find it.
Awesome job by the way! Love it

Hi, Piotr here. Welcome to my second lesson. This time we will focus on chords and arpeggios. As we know, in music - arpeggios are chords taken in pieces.
A good way of practicing arpeggios is "Arpeggio Etude". I wrote it once by myself to make arpeggio exercises more pleasant.
The first part is based on A-major and E-major chords. We will play this part with alternate picking. Picking must be precise and slow to get the best results.
In the second part we have a bit of sweep picking on chords F#minor, B-major, C#major.
The last part is a coda, written for right hand relaxation. Here we have tapping in moderate tempo based on pretty fast riff which I show in the 5 th video.
We are going to use:
- triplets,
- alternate picking,
- sweep picking,
- vibrato,
- tapping
This is the preset I used for the POD XT live for this lesson:
Amp: Bomber Uber - Drive 7 - Bass 5 - Middle 7 - Treble 5 - Presence 8
Cab: 4x12 2001 Line 6
Dis: Classic distortion - gain 3
Com: Threshold 10 - Gain 10
Dly: Delay Time - 178 (Quarter note) - Mix 35%
Rev: Slap Plate - 35%
The lesson is available in the guitar pro 5 file, mp3 backing track included.
I hope You'll enjoy it.
Piotr
