MIKE SHOUSE

Arpeggio Study


This study uses 16th notes. It starts with an Emin arpeggio adding the 2nd (F#) on the fifth string. Moves to a Bmin arpeggio adding the F# at the end which helps move back down to the Emin arpeggio adding F# again. Finishing with a Gmaj arpeggio. Repeat or use this technique of adding a note to the arpeggios you all ready know and play.
