Extreme - Arpeggios

By Francesco Fareri



This is the third lesson of a new series of exercises.
It is made up of 6 lessons on:

  • Alternate Picking

  • Legato Playing

  • Arpeggios

  • Tapping

  • String Skipping

  • Combinations


  • Arpeggios is my favourite technique and I've tried to play it combining more positions. The first player I've heard to play them in a different way was Jason Becker and thanks to his albums I discovered something really new for me. This technique is based on playing in the same picking direction when you find one note on string and using legato or alternate picking when you find more than one note on a string; in this case I use to play alternate picking to give more strenght to the arpeggios but also a legato is a good example. A lot of examples are available on my Instructional CD-Rom where I show about 65 examples about arpeggios with tablatures and videos.



    Hope you'll enjoy it and for any kind of questions or comments please visit my site.
