sig -> RE: Tips to speed up my three-finger arpeggios? (May 9 2014 16:57:43)

I know exactly what you mean. I played guitar for a number of years with a pick, electrics, acoustic but never finger picking. I had tried but could never seem to master it. I decided that I wouldn't start any lessons until I could at least fundamentally do a simple arp. I worked for close to a year before I started lessons and it helped quite a bit. I would suggest like others have, go very slowly. as that's the best way to proceed. If you can master it slowly you will have little trouble speeding it up. Enjoy the learning process as much as the actual playing. A technique that I have used and has helped with arps and tremolo is master one finger at a time. For instance against the metronome slowly on each click, play the following arp combination use any chord you like, I like using an E maj, p, plucks the 6th string followed by the i on 5th string: p,i,p,i,p,i then add p,i,m,p,i,m,p,i,m then add the next finger p,i,m,a etc... Maybe the first day you only work the p & i fingers and add the next one the following day. The key is to make is smooth and controlled before fast! Sig--
