Vox Celebrates 60 Years
July 12th, 2017 at 8:43 am EDTHey Friend, Just a quick diversion away from chords and arpeggios today… Since most of us have spent at least a little time listening to The Beatles (and other British bands) over the years, I thought we’d pay some tribute to the amplifier that ...
Morphing Arpeggios
July 11th, 2017 at 8:40 am EDTHey Friend, The exercise today is an expanded take on yesterday's lesson material. What’s interesting to me (and maybe a little exciting) is that the song I was thinking about for the second section (today’s addition) isn’t part of the song ...
Arpegggio Exercise in A Major
July 10th, 2017 at 8:36 am EDTHey Friend, I came across some other exercises I created quite a while ago that fit in well with the current discussion on arpeggios. I guess that should be a clue to me that I need to spend some time going through all the old exercises, maybe shake ...
A Classic Arpeggio Example
July 9th, 2017 at 10:11 am EDTHey Friend, I pulled this one out of the archives for today… When you want an arpeggio-based song in a very pure form, you don’t need to look further than Johann Pachelbel’s "Canon in D.” Not only is it beautiful, but it provides you with ...
Spicing Up The Key of G
July 8th, 2017 at 8:50 am EDTSometimes a Little “Hysteria" is Good
July 7th, 2017 at 8:36 am EDTHey Friend, I’ve got another treat for you today. That is, if you like Def Leppard… The opening riff for the song “Hysteria” (title song for the album “Hysteria”) is another fairly easy piece you can play using arpeggiated fingerings. ...
Arpeggios Aren’t Just for Chords
July 6th, 2017 at 8:37 am EDTHey Friend, I don’t have a new set of arpeggio exercises prepared for you yet, so I went on a hunt to find something cool and relevant to share. I think I found some incredibly rich arpeggio lessons for you. This particular lesson is from a ser ...
It’s Never Too Late...
July 5th, 2017 at 8:36 am EDTHey Friend, For love, that is. Well, for most things. Like playing guitar. Or starting a new business. Whatever age you are, you might think “if I’d only started when I was…,” or “if I was just a little older…” Naw, quit thinking li ...
Happy Fourth of July
July 4th, 2017 at 8:44 am EDTHey Friend, We’ll take a little break from arpeggios today to celebrate the Fourth of July here in the States. What better way to reflect on freedom than to have a listen to our national anthem? The Star Spangled Banner was written by Francis Sco ...
Another Arpeggio Example
July 3rd, 2017 at 8:37 am EDTHey Friend, Happy Fourth of July Eve! Hopefully most of you have a cool gig that gave you today off (or at least a half a day). I, however, will be sitting at my desk waiting for calls from clients that are most likely at home enjoying a day off wit ...
