Hi there, today we go back to basic rock techniques, Palm Muting under spotlight again, this time we will concentrate on how to play muted arpeggio sequences. The procedure is quite the same (if you missed my previous lesson, check "Palm Muting Primer". You have to rest your right hand palm, slightly on the bridge, while articulate arpeggios, with constant down up sixteen note picking, more tips on the explanation video.
This Lesson Will Improve:
Right Hand Picking
Palm Muting
Arpeggio Knowledge
Muted Arpeggios
----------------
Today study is a modern rock/progressive arrangement that uses muted arpeggio and substitution, to create background harmony and rhythmic interest, instead of a "truly and trusted" power chord part.
The progression is:
Im7 - Im7 - Vm7 - IIIbMaj7
Im7 - Im7 - VIbMaj7 - Vm7
Im7 - Im7 - Vm7 - VIIb/II
Im7 - Im7 - VIbMaj7 - IVsus
That in E minor will be:
Em7 - Em7 - Bm7 - GMaj7
Em7 - Em7 - CMaj7 - Bm7
Em7 - Em7 - Bm7 - D/F#
Em7 - Em7 - CMaj7 - Asus
Techniques Focus
----------------
In this lesson you have to mute trough different string set,
this means that, while your right hand palm,
will rest on the bridge saddles,
your wrist has to angle to move from on string to another
(more of this in the explanation video)
Theory Focus
-------------
Arpeggio substitution, means to expand
the basic sound of the chord
with another arpeggio from the diatonic scale
Ex.
E Minor Scale:
1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7
E - F#- G - A - B - C - D
E minor triad (arpeggio of just 3 notes)
1 - - - 3 - - - 5
E - - - G - - - B
G Triad Substitution:
1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7
- - - - G - - - B - - - D
Playing the G triad over a E bass note or an E minor chord
will extend the arpeggio to the 7th because the 5th of G triad, D,
is the 7th of Em. You can do this with all
the diatonic arpeggios from Em Minor.

Van Halen "Ain't Talkin' About Love", Period.
Pro Tips
--------
Try to not apply to much pressure on the bridge,
or you will go out of tune
Joe KataldoFrom this course:
- I Got Rhythm Guitar 1 - Drop DLEVEL 3This first part will address the following topics: Drop D, Riffing, Palm Muting, Alternate Picking Dexterity, Drop D Power Chord Knowledge.
- I Got Rhythm Guitar 2 - Palm MutingLEVEL 3This part takes a step back to the basics of Rock/Metal Rhythm Guitar, a technique that every whythm guitar player should know: Palm Muting.
- I Got Rhythm Guitar 3 - Ford Blues StyleLEVEL 3This part is in the style of Robben Ford, and will prepare you for a virtual band situation. Playing with an hammond player, you have to create a complementary guitar parts that will melt with the other instruments, with out interfering with the piano/key part.
- I Got Rhythm Guitar 4 - Bossa StudyLEVEL 3In terms of harmonic structure, Bossa Nova has a great deal in common with jazz, in its sophisticated use of seventh and extended chords. Bossa Nova is most commonly performed on the nylon-string classical guitar, played with the fingers rather than with a pick.
- I Got Rhythm Guitar 6 - Funk Basics ILEVEL 2Funk is an American musical style that originated in the mid- to late-1960s when African American musicians blended soul music, soul jazz and R&B into a rhythmic, danceable new form of music.
- I Got Rhythm Guitar 7 - Funk Basics IILEVEL 3This part will improve your left hand muting, right/left hand coordination and strumming.
- I Got Rhythm Guitar 8 - Funk Basics IIILEVEL 3Like much of African inspired music, funk typically consists of a complex groove with rhythm instruments such as electric guitar, electric bass, Hammond organ, and drums playing interlocking rhythms.
- I Got Rhythm Guitar 9 - Funk Basics IVLEVEL 3We will start scratching (ghost note) all sixteenth-notes (four per beat) with a constant down/up strumming, muting the strings laying lightly an E9 chord (the James Brown Chord), and adding pressure to play different accents.
- I Got Rhythm Guitar 10 - Arpeggiated Chords ILEVEL 3This is the easiest lesson on Arpeggiated Chords, where all the notes were played in sequences, from the lowest one to the highest. The picking motion is not the constant alternate one you are accustomed to, but follows the same rules of economy picking.
- I Got Rhythm Guitar 11 - Arpeggiated Chords IILEVEL 2The second lesson on Arpeggiated chords, we will keep to analyze and practice in a musical way the most common patterns from simple to complex.
- I Got Rhythm Guitar 12 - Arpeggiated Chords IIILEVEL 3Practicing the right hand movement, alone, even stopping all six strings with left hand, will make you learn this pattern faster.
- I Got Rhythm Guitar 13 - Arpeggiated Chords IVLEVEL 3The final lesson in this series covering arpeggiated Chords.
