I called this technique "Repetitive Sweep Picking" because you can do your arpeggios more attractive and less difficult by repeating a few notes in your sweeps.

A fast descending pattern to get you down the neck in style.

Welcome to this little bitta Bluegrassy Chet Atkins viberoony thing! This tune is easy enough to play once you get the components in position. Namely the righthand picking pattern (repetitive) and then the simple lefthand partial chords. Basically the same righthand pattern is used throughout, just changing the emphasis (or loud/softness) on certain notes.

Master the diatonic pattern once and for all using systematic approach! In this lesson (which is the second in line) we will cover 3 note per string method. 3 notes on every string make 7 patterns starting from every note of the scale. If you want to learn to shred you just HAVE to learn this.

This is the easiest lesson on Arpeggiated Chords, where all the notes were played in sequences, from the lowest one to the highest. The picking motion is not the constant alternate one you are accustomed to, but follows the same rules of economy picking.

Essential exercises to get your hybrid picking chops up and running at a basic level.

Time to look at the style of this extremely popular heavy metal guitarist. Conveniently enough, this lesson comes right after the Matserclass "Hot Blues" lesson - because Kirk Hammett's style is in fact heavily inspired by blues. This lesson will mainly deal with Kirk's solo style from the Metallica "Black Album" and onwards . Mr Hammett himself claims his goal with his new solo approach was to get "a bit bluesier" - and the result was an effective blend of metal, blues and wah-wah driven madness. This lesson will take you one step closer to playing like your guitar hero.

By using the very simple concept exposed in this lesson, you will soon be able to create some very complicated sounding riffs.

A progressive series of basic pentatonic licks to help you with your right and left hand technique, your stamina and to increase your speed and to have more options when you are playing.
