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"

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!

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
