Guitar Arpeggio | Guitar Techniques Guitar Lessons Video

Guitar Arpeggio | Guitar Techniques Guitar Lessons Video
In music, an arpeggio (plural arpeggi or arpeggios) is Italian for broken chord where the notes are played or sung in sequence, one after the other, rather than ringing out simultaneously. This word comes from the Italian word "arpeggiare" , which means "to play on a harp". Formed from scales, the arpeggio is based on the relative scale playing the "key" notes or those affected by the key signature.

Paul Gilbert Guitar lesson on Arpeggios


Guitarists use arpeggios extensively in certain genres, such as neo-classical, and often while employing the sweep-picking technique.
Arpeggios are bulid from the notes of a chord.The different between chords and arpeggios is how they are played.You play chords with a strum,while the arpeggios are played one after another.

Martin Goulding's "Lick of Doom" in Arpeggios Guitar Techniques


Charles Sedlak shows you how to perform Arpeggio picking - a note played in single chord form, or a broken chord.

Tap Harmonic - Free guitar solo techique video

Tap harmonic is a technique used with fretted string instruments, (usually guitar). It is executed by tapping on the actual fret wire most commonly at the 12th fret, but sometimes at the 7th, 5th or, more rarely, the 19th fret. It can also be done by gently touching the string over the fret wire instead of tapping the fret wire if the string is already ringing.

10 Different Guitar Strumming Patterns - Free guitar lessons

Strumming by Luis BONVIN

Strumming is a guitar playing technique that every guitar player should master. Even those who learned and play mostly by reading music notes, should learn to play by strumming, and play it very well.

That way, they will certainly add richness and variety to the song or piece they play. Further more, they will surely come to a time when they are required to strum the chords of a song or melody that others are singing or playing.

10 Different Guitar Strumming Patterns - Free guitar lessons

The most important thing to take into account when learning and playing guitar strumming, is sound quality. Strumming is not just some noise made while others are singing or playing. It is music too!

You must focus all your efforts on getting the most clean, neat and musical sound out of your guitar.

You strum a guitar strings by stroking all or several strings in a single downward or upward right hand movement.

Sometimes you strum all six strings with a single quick movement. Sometimes you just strum the bass strings, and sometimes you strum only the treble ones.

Some guitar players, when strumming downwards, like to use the nail of the middle finder; others like to use the nails of all fingers (except the thumb). Generally, they also prefer to do upward strumming using the nail of their thumb finger.

But there are many players that like the sounds obtained when strings are plucked or strummed using the fingertips (fleshy part of the finger end).

The best form (and that used by most pros), is a combination of both forms, nails and fingertips, combining them in upward and downward strokes, on all six strings or bass or treble strings only.

Besides, not all strokes are played with the same strength (intensity). Some of them are accented (played louder) than others.

This way, you can achieve very colourful and rich guitar strumming patterns.

A strumming pattern is a repeated sequence of upward and downward strokes, each one of them with its own characteristics (nail of fingertip, upward or downward, accented or not).

You can learn guitar strumming patterns yourself by reading and practicing guitar lessons and books. In that case you must listen very carefully to recordings of music with some guitar strumming showing up. You will certainly learn a lot, too, watching videos about guitar strumming. Go to YouTube, do a search, and you will find a lot of them.

Remember, quality of sound is your goal.

String skipping _ Guitar solo lessons

String skipping is a guitar-playing technique that is used mainly for solos and complex riffs in rock and heavy metal songs.

String skipping is a method of achieving a guitar sound that is different from more traditional solo riff styles. In more traditional styles, the guitarist will often play several notes on one string, then move to the adjacent one, noodling on the fretboard in a melodically linear manner. In string skipping (as the name implies), a string is often skipped during the riff. Essentially, this technique is used to introduce larger intervals than are usually common in guitar melodies, thereby creating melodic interest.

String skipping _ Guitar solo lessons _ by Paul Gilbert

Songs featuring string skipping
A famous example of string skipping is the intro riff to Sweet Child O'Mine by Guns N' Roses. Another specific example of string skipping can be heard in the song "Cliffs of Dover" by Eric Johnson, during the intro (measures 6 and 7). Johnson, who has built his guitar style "combining the music of many influences with his own ideas" has said that string skipping is an important part of his soloing. Johnson refers to executing "wider intervals" with the method, and also says with skipping, you're sometimes "replacing certain notes into another octave." He mentions it "gets a little more interesting" when the guitarist comes across a note normally fretted, that can be replaced with the open string version (played instead on a "skipped" string).

Guitarist Paul Gilbert (of Mr. Big, Racer X, and G3) often employs string skipping.

Pinched Harmonics _ Guitar lessons

This is a difficult technique to master and will take you some time before you can play it on demand. Like the artificial harmonic it allows a harmonic to be played on a fretted note.

When carrying out this technique what you are trying to achieve is to pick the string as usual with the plectrum, but then hit the strings with your thumb almost simultaneously. For this the plectrum is usually held so that only a small proportion of it is sticking out from beneath your finger and thumb. The string is fretted, the plectrum is used to pick the note and then the thumb hits the string soon after.

Pinched Harmonics _ Guitar lessons


Please note that the thumb only momentarily makes contact with the strings. Also it is vital to note that the position where you pick the strings matters. There are locations along the string often referred to as 'sweet spots' and the string must be picked here. If you fail to do so the harmonic will not sound.
