Study - alternate-picked arpeggios
| Tempo recommandé : 80 bpm
Instructions
Playing arpeggios with alternate picking is generally a difficult and unglamorous technique, but one that will definitely move your playing forward.
By practicing this exercise regularly you'll develop dexterity, ear training, left/right hand synchronization, and build vocabulary to enrich your improvisations.
You'll also pick up fingerings that come in handy when studying pieces by famous guitarists, since there's a good chance part of their creativity comes from exercises just like this one!
Make sure to clearly separate each note by lifting the finger so as not to let two notes ring at the same time. Thanks to Hagbard for the comment!
Exercice 1
Play slowly at first. You can also say (in your head or out loud) the name of the arpeggio you're playing. Playing with the metronome is of course mandatory, and make sure to keep your playing clean by clearly separating each note, lifting the finger so the two notes don't ring together.
