The Secret Arpeggios Of Racer X

Here's the next episode of Breaking Chords with The Secret Arpeggios Of Racer X. As I mentioned in the video, we've looked at the music of Racer X and a lot of Paul Gilbert's fretboard wizardry several times on this channel, including two PG Three-For-All episodes, a Bruce Bouillet Three-For-All, Racer X & Mr. Big Chordplay lessons, and even a Paul Gilbert style Breaking Chords episode. But this time we're taking some of the string-skipping information we've explored in the past a little further by introducing some different shapes, sequences, and ideas from the mighty Paul Gilbert.
The examples in this lesson range from locating arpeggio fingerings using a string-skipped fingering shape/pattern that you can easily locate in Paul's music, not to mention the playing styles of other guitar greats - such as John Petrucci, Nuno Bettencourt, and Guthrie Govan (to name a few). Once we've declared a key and located an initial fingering for this lesson, we're mutating the arpeggio into major and diminished fingerings, followed by moving these arpeggios through various chord progressions and shifts in tonality.
If you're a fan of Paul's music or Racer X in general, you'll find plenty to sink your teeth into in this lesson that uses many of the familiar sounds and common elements found in Paul's playing style. From his Racer X days to playing with Mr. Big, to his solo material and beyond - if you're a fan of Paul Gilbert, this is the lesson you're looking for!
