Guitar Lesson: Simple Arpeggios With Open Chords and Picking

bluesguitarunleashed.com – This lesson is something for my students to work on the picking hand and also see how this type of sound is created. Arpeggios are simply breaking up a chord into the individual notes instead of strumming the whole thing at once. It’s a great way to get a nice sound without filling up a lot of space, and can be combined with simple strums to really make a nice sound. You hear this a lot in folk, country, pop, and some blues music. Enjoy the lesson.

    Nice tutorial video. Could you move the camera just a bit so that your pick is not hiding behind your fingers. I couldn’t see what strings you were playing or what you were doing. If you have two cameras maybe you can create a split screen so we can see your left hand and your right hand. Great video though. I subscribed. I just bought my new electric guitar. Don’t know how to play it but I will be relying on you and my other YouTube friends to learn how to play my new guitar.
