In this sweep picking progression always start by ascending the arpeggios. Given the complexity of this shape it’s the most logical place to add any more additional notes to this arpeggio.Ĭonnecting The Dots – The Full Progression The additional note is the E note on the 12th fret on the high E string. ![]() It’s also a great shape to have in your arpeggio arsenal. Once you get it down however its a really great sound. This is a particularly tricky shape because it has two rolls with two different fingers. To keep all these arpeggios in the same section on the neck we now drop down to our 6th string for a D add 9 arpeggio. You could consider this a lydian arpeggio. This presents us with a #4 scale degree, if we add this note to our major arpeggio we get a lydian sound. Because C Major is the IV chord in the key of G Major, this relates to the lydian mode. This arpeggio takes the ever so common first inversion major arpeggio and adds an additional note. We’ll start with the second inversion arpeggio because this allows us to keep all of these arpeggios in the same section of the neck.Ĭ Major #11 – Lydian Based Arpeggio – First Inversion For a silky smooth sound I would suggest hammering onto these notes and pulling off for the descend. Notice the additional note on the 14th fret on the high E string, thats the note F#. This shape is known as the second inversion. G Major 7 – Second Inversion Arpeggioīecause this is a I – IV – V progression we’ll start with a G Major7 arpeggio. Once you have each of these under control I would recommend practicing transitioning cleanly between each pair of shapes before connecting all 3 together. Before we get into the full progression lets break this into the basic single shapes with their additional notes. To execute this sweep picking progression we’ll be using some shapes you may already be familiar with. This means we can do a huge sounding sweep picked progression without having to move all over the neck. We’ll strategically choose our arpeggio inversions to keep each shape within the same position on the fretboard. This takes a very normal sounding sweep picking progression into something with interesting and unusual sonic quality that will really grab some attention. The real magic in the sound of this progression is the extended notes we’re adding in to each arpeggio. ![]() ATTENTION! In this weeks episode we’re going to be looking at creating a beautiful 5 & 6 string sweep picking progression that flows seamlessly through 3 altered major chords.
