The Ultimate Arpeggio Masterclass (Fundamentals + Essential Shapes + Workout)
Arpeggios! Those magical, elusive patterns that every guitarist strives to learn. But why exactly are they so important? And what the hell do you use them for? Arpeggios are not only a way to exercise your technique, but are also absolutely integral to mastering fretboard navigation, improvization, solo writing and ear training.
In this exclusive, extensive masterclass I give you guys a complete rundown of the fundamentals of arpeggios and show you all of the core shapes every serious guitarist needs to know.
At the end of the masterclass we put everything we've learned into practice with a fun lil' arpeggio workout that I implore all of you, regardless of ability level, to spend some time on!
Good luck and don't forget to share your progress with everyone in the Discord server!

How do you do major third position with your middle finger changing 3 strings
Hi Bradley, this Masterclass is a godsend. This is the missing piece I knew I needed but just kept ... not doing the work. This video gave me the impetus to finally learn all the chord constructions once and for all, and be able to instantly play all of them in all inversions all over the fretboard. This is really the foundation that all western music is built on, and the glue that integrates all other technique and music theory pieces into a cohesive whole. knowing this inside out is such a massive unlock for everything else in music. As always, "the magic is in the work you try so hard to avoid doing." Thank you so much for this. Cheers.
Sure the first position of the sus4 arpeggio you're showing is correct? Shouldn't it be 5-10 on the low and high E-strings?
Cheers man, great catch! It's super common to play this shape with a 9 on the top string so I didn't give it a 2nd thought. Will correct
yoooo man can you show us how to really play Goodbye to Romance solo
Awesome! but there is no workout tab?
Yes there is!
