BEAUTIFUL ARPEGGIOS FOR GUITAR! (beginner to PRO)

[@Greengenes676]

I’ve been “playing” the guitar for I’m ashamed to say how many years. I could make my fingers do what I wanted but never really knew where they were supposed to go or why. Which limited me to only copying what I see rather than actually knowing what I was doing. I have learned so much more watching your videos in so little time. I see how it all fits together. Thanks Paul.

[@jamesbateman7131]

Also remember to follow your ear as you play. Sometimes your fingers won't know where to go, but as you start to explore the fretboard, your ear will.

what u play is in your head ....fingers just need to know pathways ...so, pathways not change ...once u learn it, u can play what u feel ....just like driving a car, going and turning where u wish, what u like personaly to hear makes up your style ...ooo i'm so smart ...

[@TheChelas69]

same here! playing guitar just by tab following instructions but not really knowing anything for years. Channels like Paul´s, Beato´s, Neely´s... etc.. and podcasts like Music Student 101 have made all the difference in the world.

[@Jack.Waters]

Thank you, I may never be "that fast" but these exercises help keep what dexterity I do have left, at my age. Playing arpeggios, even slowly, helps with the arthritis pain.

[@Xianpaul0523]

Im 32 and sometimes I felt the pain of having arthritis already 🤣. But whenever I practice the guitar, juices come back to my finger joints and removes the pain.

[@fletchdad]

This is off topic (sorry about this Paul, but I am sure you understand). Turmeric. I have different joint trouble, arthritis being one of the lesser ones (and it is not a lesser evil as you probably know). I have been taking about 3/4 of a teaspoon of ground turmeric in a tea mixture that I drink daily. Now, this is in about 1/2 gallon of tea, but I drink it throughout the day. It has helped tremendously, although it took about 2-3 months before I noticed anything at all, so regular intake is paramount. Just in case this is of interest to you.

[@stevescuba1978]

Your awesome man. It’s hard to find a guitar teacher with so many being self proclaimed professionals on you tube most are not as funny or as effective as they think. I enjoy your approach to teaching and I will be honest I love your accent. I am a self taught player who is realizing my stand offish perspective of learning from others has really kept me in the same place my whole life. I’m ready to change that and become a educated player with an open mind and merge it with what I’ve learned.

Paul, I really like your content for multiple reasons, one of them being that even when I know things about the topic, like arpeggios, I always leave your videos knowing more than I did before. You speak clearly and wisely. Thank you!

[@gonehome6245]

This I believe is the most sensible and consistent approach to arpeggios for guitar on the internet. Fingering is natural without excessively large jumps making movements more efficient. I've been studying guitar for (gosh) nigh on 60 years. I'm sometimes frustrated by teachers who don't really have it all worked out themselves. I like your approach and the use of Levels to show how to progress. I admit I've never tackled the problem of playing "up the neck" much before. But I am pretty fluent in position playing so I'm very ripe for this improvement in my skills. Thank You very much Paul.

nah... even tho he could play arpeggios in a blistering speed they are not very interressting in a harmonical sense.. its all neo-classical. It would have to be Holdsworth then (who had crazy arpeggios as well as crazy legato)

[@diegofloor]

I know metal and distortion are not his thing, but it seems weird to talk about guitar arpeggios and not mention one of its most widely usages. They are basically everything he said here but with strong emphasis on hammer-ons and pull-offs, plus instead of picking notes individually you need to master a coordinated sweeping up and down in order to get the proper speed.
