  • Hello GMC friends! In this opportunity we will study Major Arpeggios!

    For this lesson I composed a song easy to play! But at the same time, full of interesting things for every guitarist or musician!

    It is very important to do a correct execution of the notes and the technique that you are using. The arpeggios played with this technique are used by many known guitarists, as Joe satriani, Steve Vai, John Petrucci, Paul Gilbert and others! This etude is divided in many parts to develop it of rapid and simple form!

    The lesson is based in A major arpeggios. You will also find a D major arpeggio.

    In this lesson we will study techniques as Sweep picking, palm muting and Alternate picking!


    Do not forget to relax your fingers after every exercise! Developing speed ith metronome is very important!

    Audio Settings: to record this lesson I have used the POD X3 live. Stomp Distortion Screamer.

    Analog Chorus: Depth 66% Mix: 35%

    Analog Delay with modulation: 750ms Mix: 21%

    Scale: A major.

    Tuning: 440

    Nothing is impossible! Feel the music and God bless you.
