Good Lord, I wish I were 13 again. To be able to tap into the insights of musicians with decades of experience under their belt is priceless. Focused use of resources like RUclips is kinda like tapping into the Library of Alexandria. Thanks Chris.
Dude great video. Playing changes has been my favorite thing to practice and try to get good at for the last year and a half. Its wildly beneficial even if you don't necessarily wanna play that type of music. Making arpeggios musical and starting chords on the nearest chord tone. There's little melodies inside the structure if you practice that way. I think if you can make your way through an entire blues, jazz standard highlighting chords, moving with the changes, it'll be a light bulb moment.
Hello Chris, I’ve been watching your videos and doing the exercises you recommend for a few months and I must say your I really enjoy your teaching and I am absolutely grateful for what you share…. Your videos are pure gold! Looking forward to join the studio platform this week! Thanks for everything 🙌🏿
One of the things I focus on when playing Arpeggios is going slow and getting a good tone. I don't try to be fast, no finger slamming, etc. Nice even flow of picking, consistent volume, the timing of picking, and releasing of notes. Chris does it so well that he really makes it look easy. @8:50, his Micro Problem is excellent!
You’re definitely on to something. Check out this 2.12 snippet from a classical guitarist. The exercise is designed to override muscle memory and hardwire desired technique. Hope it’s useful. ruclips.net/video/m5i448Jlq-U/видео.html
Found you via your Circle of Fifths video on Marty Guitar such a great lesson I had to come here and subscribe straight away and I can see I will be spending a lot of time on your tutorials. Cheers
I can play these arpeggios. It took a while, but I eventually got the sweeping motion down. Recently I have been moving them up and down the neck, but it doesn’t really sound musical. I think it was good for drilling the technique though. This will definitely be fun to add to my practice. Thanks
You're so welcome! I think it's important to notice the difference between training and playing/performing. Sometimes training a new skill can't easily be done "musically", where as this example follows the circle of fourths (until the end) so it comes across as more melodic, generally. Thanks for the comment~
Great one, again. I got to say, it it a bit over my skill level this one, but hey. That could be a good thing, as I just watched your other video about setting goals for the guitar playing. Keep hammer em out and I'll do what I can to absorb it.
Yup, thats it. And this technique isn't any easier or harder than playing scales, it's just different. And it's a skill you develop in a matter of hours (cumulatively). Try that small micro-problem at the end, that stitches the technique together quickly. Good luck!
It's all about sustained effort over time. But the task at hand here is really only measured in hours, it's ll about how quickly you spend them...over a few weeks...or spread out over years.
Again thanks and great stuff, it took me a week but I just played it through! Thank You Jesus! God Bless America And Here Is A Toast To The Devil And Chris...
CHRIS, if you can do a Uli Roth Arpeggio lessons because he uses a lot of arpeggios SHIFTING in his solo albums from the late 70's early 80's. The arpeggio SHIFTING also marty friedman does on the whole album of medadeths rest in peace and albums after that in his solos. Make more videos about arpeggio shifting
The progression is just major chords descending through the circle of fourths. As far as transposing you can use this technique with any chords really, the big task is mapping them out ahead of time to get the arpeggios to lay out efficiently.
@@curiousguitarist yikes! Maybe I'll just sing your praises from afar? All joking aside... I've been looking for Cary Sporinsky. There's so much I want to tell him
Gotta love how practical these videos are
Glad you’re enjoying them, KZ!

Agreed 🙌🏼
Same! When I started, music theory and information were like gold.
Rock on, Mike! Glad you're here.
So true!!
So true
What a fun little bit. I'm away for the weekend without a guitar (sacreligous!) and you make me jones for it. 🥶
Another very useful lesson. One thing I really like about it is how musical it sounds as opposed to a typical guitar exercise. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks DS, I try as much as I can to integrate some harmonic movement and tie these back to a musical example. Glad you're here.
Glad you showed the micro problem at the end. I'll get that down before tackling the whole arpeggio, thanks!
Ahhh great! Yeah I worked that for a while and it helped me get the overall technique.
I'm also curious and want to always understand what I'm doing, not just try to learn some song. Thank you, your teaching is very good.
You are so welcome, Post Office! Curiosity is the best engine to get you moving forward! I'm glad you're here.
I really enjoy your lessons, Chris. Keep up the great content. Beautiful guitar, btw.
Thanks, Franco!

Truth!
This is great! Finally, a practice with some melody to it... thanks for helping us become better musicians.😁😁
Sweet SG too!

@@Mike-rw2nh I actually struggle with this so much, I always "alternate pick". Then I practice the same thing "Finger Picking".

Damn it. I am already watching this for the second time and at half speed! lol
Great Lesson Chris.
Excellent advice, thanks
Another great lesson!! thank you sir !
Of course TG!
Excellent again Chris.... And I love the guitar... 🎸
Rock on, Dean! Hope all is well!
Great lesson Chris,thanks for the tips and tricks 👍👍👍
You bet, Bubba! Thanks for all your support!

Thanks Steve! Welcome aboard.
Great class Cris !!!!! Thanks!!!
Glad you enjoyed this one Andre!
Great lesson as usual. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Another great lesson, thank you!
This sounds so pretty - and I might finally get the chance to try it out tonight :)
Have fun JG! So great to have you on the team!
Thanks Chris! :)

Super lesson. Thanks!
You are welcome
Nice and helpful 👍👏👏
Sounds very crispy but it takes years of practice! I want to do the same 🙂🎉✅💜
Not years, only hours. But you decide how quickly you spend them…could be days :)
Great one, again. I got to say, it it a bit over my skill level this one, but hey. That could be a good thing, as I just watched your other video about setting goals for the guitar playing. Keep hammer em out and I'll do what I can to absorb it.

I've added this to my practice....I'm def missing arps in my toolkit.
This would be better over a looped chord progression ❤️🙏🏻😎
fantastic video, thanks so much. will there be a follow up video showing how you apply this to a solo or jam in the future. if love the channel
Thanks so much, and I'm glad you enjoyed this one.
Yeah I think a follow up is a great idea. Thanks again!
Love how that sounds. Could you do it in context of staying in key of a 2 or 3 chord progression?
Definitely! In fact this exercise is designed to get you switching between arpeggios to eventually facilitate just what you are suggesting.
One day I will master arpeggios! It's tough but one day I'll get it right.

Rock on, love it!!
Take your time with these...once it starts to stick, there's no turning back!
Can you please make a video on walking bass for guitar?
Cool stuff, had a no show, used my hour to my advantage. See you tomorrow.
Yup, looking forward to it Chris!
Good stuff. Also, I say: you have great hands. Then you say: Mark, my eyes are up here. :)
Haha! I remember Marty saying that he had a sense memory watching these close shots :)
sounds like a great Phish tune (YEM)

Will do!
@@curiousguitarist thanks
What’s the relevance of the chords you picked ? 😎 and how to transpose to other chords ?
The progression is just major chords descending through the circle of fourths.
As far as transposing you can use this technique with any chords really, the big task is mapping them out ahead of time to get the arpeggios to lay out efficiently.
Would you do another lesson more in-depth ? How would this sound in a musical context !? Is it relevant across different genre ? Thanks
the ''out takes'' at the end...😀
I figured if anyone is still watching by then, then you're probably going to find them entertaining :)
I'll fight anyone who says they love this man more than me.
Hahaha! Might come to blows with my wife or kids I guess :) Hope all is well!!
@@curiousguitarist what age are the kids? A teenager could probably take me down. Much love to you and yours, sir! ❤🤘
@@redstep-child3096 18 and 20, plus you’d be outnumbered!!
@@curiousguitarist yikes! Maybe I'll just sing your praises from afar?

I'll fight any toddler... No shut it down.
Sounds like gutter Ballet
I have no clue as to what that means
