#92 - 5 Amazing Arpeggio Exercises!
🕑 Added 2020-06-19 12:00:05 +0000 UTCTime for some killer arpeggio workouts! Here are 5 cool exercises for your routine - alternate picking, sweep picking and fingerpicking included :)
These arpeggios are all augmented, yet another topic from your wishlist for this month. Augmented arpeggios have a really cool dissonant and suspenseful sound, here we have a major third and an augmented fifth! So we can always compare augmented triads to major triads (just raise/augment the fifth), just as we are comparing diminished triads to minor triads (there you have to lower/flatten the fifth).
Let me know if you like the augmented sound, we can dive deeper into the use of this color in another lesson :)
A quick summary of the practice goals:
Exercise 1: Alternate picking with string skipping - master the transitions between the strings without getting stuck! The picking angle is of great importance here once again.
Exercise 2: By grouping 2 16th notes BUT starting with just one accented 16th note, we get a really cool syncopated pattern. This one is harder than it looks since your brain wants even groups of 2 across both measures - but you will be rewarded with more original phrasing ideas!
Exercise 3: Sweep picking! For this exercise, you are sweeping up- and down a common augmented arpeggio, memorize this one for practical applications in the future!
Exercise 4: Finger- or hybrid picking and odd-meters (7/8). With this one, you are practicing your timing and it's also a great finger exercise due to the odd moving intervals.
Exercise 5: Sweep picking once again! This is another cool shape that you can use for your compositions.

Hello Bobby, thanks for asking that! Yes, you can also play them on YouTube if that works better for you: www.youtube.com/bernthguitar :)

Is there a way to download these videos or play them on you tube? On you tube you can slow down the video to see exactly what your fingers are doing. On your site, it goes to fast (even when you do it slower) I am trying to see how you fret certain notes on some of these exercises. Great stuff though, thank you!
