Shred Arpeggios with Sam Bell - Introduction

In this video

Learn to incorporate arpeggios into your shred lead playing with Sam Bell!

In this course we're taking a look into using arpeggios within shred playing. We'll be covering techniques such as sweep picking, tapping, string skipping and using triads, all with a focus on using arpeggios.

What is an arpeggio?

An arpeggio is essentially a chord broken down into its individual notes. There are a number of ways we can use arpeggios, and they're very common in shred playing. For instance, a sweep-picked arpeggio can be used to move quickly from a lower register to a higher register without just making an awkward jump or running the whole way up a scale.

What is 'Interactive tab'?

Every exercise in this course is fully tabbed using interactive TAB synced to a video of that guitar part. With this feature you can see exactly what note is being played and by which finger in real time. Turn on the fretboard graphic to see what note and scale shape is being used - all in real time.

Basically - it's the ultimate way to learn lead guitar!

A crucial part of building speed is starting slow and increasing the tempo gradually without losing the timing or technique that the part requires to be correct. With interactive tab, you can slow down the video and tab to learn it correctly, then pay along and build the speed back up until you have mastered even the fastest of licks. You can loop sections, and even click on a note to see exactly what the fingers are doing to play that give note or part.

This interactive tab in available for nearly all premium courses as part of the new Andy Guitar AAA membership.
