Kristofer Dahl7th January 2008Awesome!
For my playing there is no doubt that this, along with the pentatonic scale, is the number one "theoretical tool".
eddiecat7th January 2008Great lesson David.
Very useful!
Thank you, Eddie

Love it!!
shellshock19117th January 2008Awesome! This is just what I needed right now because I'm working on improvising over chords and arpeggios are a good way to start out.
Tuubsu7th January 2008Nice lesson! Gonna give it a go once I get couple of other lessons "Out of the way"
krudtaa7th January 2008very useful lesson. thanks

Just what I needed (and wanted) - really looking forward to a follow-up. nag-nag!

Lol video 5 was confusing me forever because it says B minor arpeggio yet it is currently tabbed as a D6 arpeggio. You have the note on the B string tabbed as A (10th fret), it should be B (12 fret).

Whoops I meant video 6, my bad!

I checked and am not sure what you mean. If you're talking about the very first triad, even though it shares the same notes as for D6 it still is B min.
B min triad = B - D - F
D 6 = D - F - B
Is that where the confusion is? - shellshock19117th January 2008
The B minor triad you have in video 6 and 7 is tabbed with B-D-F-A. 10th fret on the 2nd string is A, 12 fret is B, you have it tabbed with the 10th fret. Your fingers play the 12th fret, the tab says 10
Gerardo Siere8th January 2008Wow cool, always new ways of learning while having fun
Tomy Jeon8th January 2008Cool stuff, cool lesson!
ballistic318th January 2008yessssssssssss a arpeggios lesson without sweeping.............cause at the moment me and sweeping hate each others guts.....lol
Crazyfret8th January 2008Oh great lesson David. Always wanted to incorporate the odd arpeggios in to my playing.
Gonna have to learn this one- David Wallimann8th January 2008The B minor triad you have in video 6 and 7 is tabbed with B-D-F-A. 10th fret on the 2nd string is A, 12 fret is B, you have it tabbed with the 10th fret. Your fingers play the 12th fret, the tab says 10

I have been trying everyday for the past 3 months to achieve your pace and I must admit to have failed so far. I almost can play at 65bpm but not all the time???
I have played guitar for over 25 years and wonder what does the rating (#3)means in terms of level.
Is there anything you would suggest me do to improve speed?
Thank you.

Just checked out this lesson again. I agree, the level is more than 3!
Maybe a 6 or 7?
Just keep working on it slowly and with precision and be very analytical of your playing rying to eliminate all unnecesary movements.. 
Daniel Realpe30th April 2010you've got excellent technique and this sounds very musical to practice

Welcome to this triad study!
What are triads? Triads are arpeggios made out of three notes: the root, 3rd and 5th.
In this lesson, we'll develop some ideas using the triads found in the A Major scale.
To do that we'll take the notes of that scale and construct triads on each tone of that scale.
That gives us the following 7 triads to work with:
A Major
B min
C# min
D Maj
E Maj
F# min
G# min b5
Memorize the following triad shapes that I suggest and then work your way through the examples.
Triads are fun and very helpful to create melodic leads.
Oh, one last thing, I threw in there a more complex arpeggio on the first lick. Instead of playing a D Major triad, I extended that arpeggio to 4 notes adding the 7th. That's the only exception...
Have fun!
