Blues in G arpeggios — fast tempo New
Arpeggiate the 12-bar blues grid in G (G7-C7-D7) note by note at a fast tempo, never strumming the chords: every note must stay distinct from the others even at speed.
Tips
At this tempo, the difficulty comes as much from the picking hand (note-by-note accuracy) as from the fretting hand: isolate a single chord on a loop first before connecting the whole grid.
