Arpeggio Lick


We're very glad to have Marcel Coenen as guest columnist here at CFH!

Hello there,

Welcome to my first column here at Chops From Hell. It is a big honour for me to be a part of this. I hope you will like the column, have fun with it !

The lick showed below is an arpeggio lick, it involves sweep picking, legato phrasing, tapping and slides. The key is B-Mixolydian.

I use sweep picking throughout the lick where it is possible, for the strings which have more then one note I use hammer-ons and pull-offs and some tapping and slides.


Cheers,

Marcel
