POWER CHORDS

ARPEGGIO

making the most out of your chords

arpeggio = "broken chord"

add color and expression to your chord progressions by playing one note at a time

ARPEGGIO

some "rules":

begin with the root note

pick eighth notes on higher strings

return to the root note on the 1 count

tips:

keep your pinky finger rested just below the strings (on the pick guard, if you have one) for improved stability

 

pick lightly, and don't let the pick go beyond the next string
