Gabriel Leopardi21st October 2015Hi Slickster, I'm not sure about what you mean with your question. Have you seen the slow video parts? There you will find tabs and the description of which arpeggio is being used. Let me know if it solves your issue!

- David Wallimann2nd December 2008Great Lesson David! I have one question, what type of pick angle is suppose to be used. It appears to be differant for ascending and descending.
Thanks everyone!
As far as pick angle, I do incline the pick a bit depending on which direction I'm going.
The idea is to slightly incline the pick in the direction you sweep.
That is what works best for me, but try different ways, every player is different. :-)

In today's lesson we'll study a piece that should help you get some coll sweeping licks under your musical belt. The track will take you through 4 main 4 note arpeggios that will be very handy in any given situation.
Here are the arpeggios we'll use:
Major 7tg
Root-Maj 3rd- 5th- Maj 7th
minor 7th
Root-min 3rd- 5th- min 7th
Dominant 7tg
Root-Maj 3rd- 5th- min 7th
minor 7th diminished 5th
Root-min 3rd- dim 5th- min 7th
Make sure you sweep those arpeggios as shown in the slow videos. Whenever you are playing notes on a consecutive string, make sure your pick rests on the next string.
Have fun!
