Guys, this is my conceptual idea for lesson material on arpeggios and for practicing them. Let me know your feedback on the Soundslice exercises. It's kind of static sounding when you run them up and down like that, but it's just a method to get you to see the shape of the arpeggio. You should always work on making musical ideas from them, as I tried to show in the overview video.

Great practice idea[s] It can only help to know and be able to see all the sweet... target notes on the neck. And for blues it would seem no other arp would be better to know than the Dom 7th arps.
Good idea.

Just had a chance to give this a look. Another relevant lesson, which I am sure we all can use. Keep going with it!...Will
PS) Good finger workout as well. I dig the tempo changes ! Soundslice makes it enjoyable to practice. Love it

I love this lesson, as it is really motivating me to practice. Soundslice makes it very easy to sit down and drill at a "doable" tempo, slowly bumping it up to full speed as my fingers get used to things. More please for more arpeggio shapes!

Let me know how you like it. The exercises may sound a bit mechanical, that's why I try to just improvise some lines on the spot, showing how these arpeggios tie into the pentatonic or whatever scale you like really.
Feedback is important - tell me what you think!

Can you also let me know what you think of the guitar fretboard I used here? This is the beautiful Ramos guitar. I'm wondering if it's easy enough to see where I am on the fretboard, since the markers look different than on my other guitars?

different neck, for sure! I had no problem seeing where you were, Robert. What is the neck wood?..Will

Nice lesson Robert. The 4th fret on the 2nd string took a bit of practice. So used to playing the minor pentatonic that my fingers did not want to hit that note. Muscle memory is a strange thing because after awhile I had no problem. Please keep us going with these arpeggio lessons. I've heard you talk about these and the chord tones so much that I know I must learn this. Also, love that guitar neck. Not hard to see at all. Is that figured maple?

I have the same issue. My fingers want to play the pentatonic scale! I guess it kind of shows you how the chord tones sit in relation to the scale. Pretty cool once I get the fingers to co operate..Will

The neck is flamed eye maple.
I'll continue with more of these exercises for sure!
