Avoid finger barring by using shifts

I've never liked barring multiple strings with one finger when doing arpeggios on the guitar, so here's a workaround that feels smooth and effortless.

Nice. Just one of those contextual things that become part of your own style

That's a cool idea! I would think the shift slows you down and chops up yhe arpeggio, but you pull it off smoothly.

Hey there! The shifting is all one smooth motion, when you play it slowly it’s stop and start but at speed it feels like my arm is just moving my hand smoothly up the neck, no stress. As for the fingers, it feels as if I were playing different frets on adjacent strings, like frets 7-6-5 on strings G-D-B. Zero effort, just coordination. Thanks and good luck!

Gives it a bluesy sound with that slide in!

Lovely, this is great for lefties who play inverted

Interesting, why is that?
