Rob Schumann: The subject of this tutorial is string skipping arpeggios and this is a very advance Lead concept. It's also are physically demanding so make sure that you practice this slowly and with good techniques you don't end up with Tendinitis or some other degenerative disorder.
The benefit of string skipping arpeggios is, they can give you a little bit more fire, a little different sound for your solo playing, they are also great for your Legato technique with hammer-ons and pull-offs and slurring. The difference of string skipping arpeggios is with that they are laid out across the strings.
If I look at a traditional major arpeggios, let's just pick a G major appear at the tenth fret. I can hit the tenth fret on the fifth string, ninth fret on the fourth string, seventh fret on the third string, eighth fret on the second string to the seventh fret on the first string. And unless I am doing sweep picking, it's really hard to do anything with that riff wise or lick wise. However with a string skipping arrangement, it makes a little bit more apt to be inclusion on some type of riff idea. So to do that I am going to use that same route note, I will start with my second finger on the tenth fret of the fifth string, going to the ninth fret on the fourth string and then hammering on to the twelfth fret on the fourth string.
And then I am going to skip over the third string hence the name and go to the eighth fret of the second string and then the twelfth fret of the second string. So in this case, my G major arpeggios will sound like this. So I have a little bit more ability to do hammer-ons and pull-offs and do things that sound a little bit more appropriate when they are repeated. So now that we have looked at the exact technique and the left hand is talking about what the right hand is doing. This can be a little bit tricky, you have to really move your pick around and be pre-accurate so one option is also to try hybrid picking on the string that you have to skip to. That way you are not having to this leap that pick as quite as much.
So, at this point we need to look at some regular chord fingerings that we can then apply to the arpeggios. So let's look at a major fingering. So for a major arpeggio, you will start with the route note on the fifth string using your second finger. You will go one fret below, so in this case I am on the fifth fret, fifth string. I will go one fret below to the fourth fret on the fourth string and then use my fourth finger up three frets on the seventh fret, fourth string. And then in going to the second string I will stretch this first finger back one more frets and now I am on the third fret, second string and I have to do a stretch here to the seventh fret of that second string. So this major arpeggios will look like this. So it's really important to keep a good hand position here so that I can make the stretch. We will look at the rest of our arpeggios in some other applications in our next segment.
