Jam Track 15 - Picked Arpeggios with C & Am

We learn about picked arpeggios, where we pick individual strings from a chord to create flowing, musical phrases. Think of it like a harp - picking individual notes from multiple strings rather than strumming everything at once.

• Clean boost and reverb amp settings I use to make arpeggios sound professional

• C major to A minor chord progression with minimal finger movement

• Down-down-down, up-up-up picking pattern with proper hand positioning

• 6/8 time signature - counting to six instead of four beats per bar

• Pick holding technique and palm muting position for stability and control

I'll show you why this is one of the hardest beginner techniques, but also why it's worth learning. The key is keeping your picking motion small and resting your hand for stability, just like writing neatly with a pen. Don't expect it to come together immediately - this skill builds over multiple practice sessions.
