Thinking about exercises that really changed how I see things and play the guitar, this might be top of the list - an old exercise from ‪@HoraceBray‬ that I think he may have called the Golden Warmup or something?
The preset is "Dual Jazz Tone"

Oh my goodness, this is superb. I just picked up my guitar at the 5 min marker and just those first 6 notes of the arpeggio that you show have had me inspired and practicing for the last 2 hours! This is going to give me months of material to practice. Thank you so much.

I never comment on videos but this was huge in giving me more options for lead playing. Probably the most useful guitar video I’ve seen in years

@bruceanderson5188 6 ай бұрын

I had a hard time getting this under my fingers until I visualized each arpeggio as three 5th's stacked a 2nd apart. In case that helps anyone else. Watch out for the tritones! There are 3 of them in the ii, IV, and vii° chords. Awesome lesson, John. Thank you!

Coming up with more open voicings of arpeggios is a super great concept. Thanks. I've got my "normal" voicings down fairly well and they can definitely sound a bit trite. Also, adding interesting scale notes such as 4th or 6th is super interesting. And of course it makes sense to add the Maj7 over a Maj7 chord, or the dominant 7th over a dominant chord.

What I love about this is it’s arpeggios but not arpeggios. You don’t have to really worry about the “chord” anymore so much as keeping a motif harmonious with the key you’re in. I rarely play straight arpeggios but I could definitely use this in my playing.

I came for a review of a Sire S7 a couple years back, stayed for the music. John creates new backing tracks and improvs every single day for his intros. If just for listening to them alone I watch his videos every morning. John's a big fan of your playing as well, as he mentions often throughout his back catalog.

I've always hated "Shredding". But when you play fast, all the lines have huge emotion. Like a well bent note with great vibrato. I know! It's like your lines are a flowing river to a destination that only you know till we get there with you. I don't have enough words. I'll just say you are very appreciated.

Excellent. This lesson is one of your best that you’ve done. Very insightful. I hope that you continue sharing your theory and thoughts behind your beautiful and very melodic playing on your intros. While your gear demos and HXStomp presets are great, your lessons are what make you unique. Have you thought of offering a TrueFire course yourself? My only other thought is that you could have used a Freeze pedal at the end when you were hitting the chord and then showing the arpeggio.

@@Steve-si8hx for me its opened a different way of visualizing the neck . Its completely different to anything that I had in my arsenal per say. And the fact that is sweepable also is really cool or at least for me it is since I'm reasonably decent at sweeping. Also working on how each position sounds against different chords of the scale. So for me it was a great lesson 🙂

What makes the lick so beautiful is that it contains TWO broken arpeggios : F#m7 and DM7 (A / E / F# / C# / D / A ) The first four notes belong to F# m7 and the last four notes belong to DM7.

Thia is essentially a variation on the common arpeggios in thirds namely: 1, 5, 6, 10(3), 11(4), 15(1). Interesting also to play arpeggios in 4th, 5ths and mixing them up.
