A cool way to add interest to your arpeggios is to change the top note. Here is a A minor 5th string arpeggio (A, C, E). These examples are great for developing your sweep picking technique. In this example we are moving the five string arpeggio up in minor 3rd intervals. This is a common shape and is fun to practice. In example 3 we will add the 5th string to our D major arpeggio. Be sure you follow the suggested fingerings.Įxample 2b is the same thing as the previous example, but now we are adding the 4th string. ![]() We are moving the D major arpeggio up in half step intervals, the pinky and index finger is sliding up each time we move to the next arpeggio. Example 2a is great way to practice sweeping. Make sure you are lifting off the left hand slightly after you hit each note so the notes don''t run together like a chord. This is a great one to practice, and is really useful. This is an alternate picking exercise, so begin on a downstroke on the first fret, followed by an upstroke at the second.

The right hand pick motion is just down, down, up continuously. This is a great way to develop your sweep picking, just using 2 strings. Gradually increase the tempo only when you can play the pattern flawlessly at a slower pace. Focus on maintaining a clean and even sound across all the notes in the arpeggio pattern. ![]() This first example is a two string G# minor arpeggio (G#, B, D#).
