Great for both hands. And also a confidence builder when u are achieving a mobility through out the neck and not just at the first position with G,C&D major chords Way to go Elliot u are the Man!!!

[@dylanisraelian901]

there's a wonderful example of this technique in Tango en Skai by Roland Dyens

[@susanbidmead977]

awe that man is fantastic on that instrument..I was mesmerised...

[@gc13084]

Thank you Elliot.

[@michaelpaglia3219]

Wonderful. Ty Eliot.

[@yeahyeahyeah5089]

lmao I thought the story was gonna end with 'by the time I was done there was nobody left in the audience" xD

[@superdeluxesmell]

His right hand is at a right angle to the strings. I used to do that and was told to stop. I’m self taught and I don’t know where I picked it up.

[@RobertoMartinez-kv5tp]

Buen ejercicio ✔

[@plumleytube]

The moveable chord with some open strings ... very Villa Lobos esque.

[@rjlchristie]

1:41 wtf? it's not E minor if it lacks a G natural.

[@rodrigokehoe5860]

Y que seria lo innovador o extraordinario?

[@StringsByMail]

Here's some more great "Tips For Guitarists" from Eliot Fisk. He discusses right hand arpeggios along with a funny story.

[@5geezers]

Good exercise, there's a million of them out there. I use that chord for tuning and as Elliot's video shows, it's unforgiving as you ascend the fbd [as when he gets to 10th position..."G" on 5th sting] BTW I don't recommend using only this one chord for tuning, if you flip that chord around you get a different stack of 4ths and 5ths...E A E A E A low to high... the idea is to avoid using intervals of a major 3rd, which has to be sweetened slightly according to whether you have one or more major chord in a very exposed situation. [If all else fails....get a clip on tuner...from String By Mail of course] lol

[@guitarlots]

Has a little Sebastio Tapajos sound to it

[@richardho_1]

What is the moveable chord that is being used?

[@StringsByMail]

Rick Macha It looks like the moveable chord he is using is essentially a type of barre chord on at the 2nd frets on the 4th and 5th strings, and the 4th fret of the 3rd string and 5th fret of the 2nd string.

[@MatthewJohnFaunce]

Rick Macha It's what is commonly called a 'power chord', which is a chord that consists of only the root and fifth. The first chord he plays is spelled, starting from the bass, e b e' b' e" e". The second chord is e f#' b' f#" b" e". n.b. The standard spelling for middle-c is c', and is spoken "one lined c." The open strings of the guitar are as follows: e a d' g' b' e", and the e"' at the first string, twelfth fret, is a "three lined e." (Each higher c above mid-c gets a new line.)

Need to be that fast ? formula one driver ?

[@calebfrederick3860]

"you don't have to play it that fast." I don't think anyone can.

[@JoelSalazarM]

Actually, any guitar professional can :)

[@Geakopov]

Are you teaching or just showing how fast you can play arpeggios !?

[@franciscozamora3742]

E is the root of all the chords, so almost all the names are wrong

[@DarkInvader1963]

FranciscoZamora Could You Explain That Please ? I Don't Understand. Thanks !

[@DenianArcoleo]

No, the open E strings are incidental. He's moving in the cycle of 5ths using the note fretted on the 5th string.

[@ITOTOSSAB]

Why do you always run? He has to teach slowly what he does, we are not Formula 1 drivers

[@humol3731]

Que sonido tan feo y siempre tocando rapidísimo. Se tira las obras que toca.

[@JamesMessickNC]

Not really "ha ha" funny.

[@LL4love]

Wonderful!. Next time, could you please do not speak at same time you play?

[@he_was_a_skater_dog]

To his credit, you can see he's put a lot of effort and discipline into playing awfully

[@nicolasmonterotorrealba315]

No es buen guitarrista,

[@tonygSDWR]

Shit taste in political leaders, but fabulous technique.
