Arpeggio Techniques

Arpeggio
Arpeggio is a combination of tones that gradually and sequentially rung, which is formed by a particular chord.
Tips for practicing arpeggios should we pay attention to the accuracy of tone, picking technique, the position of the finger. remember to start training with a tempo that is until you become accustomed to and then speeding up the tempo little by little, if you just rely on the speed of the left hand fingers and not supported by picking an accurate then the result would have sounded notes are not clear, therefore the key is synchronization your left hand fingers with your picking. Start the exercise with a slow tempo, focus for the accuracy of the first tone.

Ex.1 Arpeggio descending

in this exercise we will use 4 Dmaj chord, Em, F # m and Gmaj, Dmaj chord we're going to do with the sequence of arpeggio tone DF #-ADF # (Dmaj) EGB-E'-G (Em), F #-AC #-F # '-A' (F # m), GDB-G'-B '(Gmaj).
