[E] Right, we're on to the final arpeggio now, arpeggio number 10.
Essentially what it is is a series of descending dominant 7th chords.
I love playing these arpeggios, they sound really, really good.
Nice kind of flurry to the sound.
That has a lot to do with the way I articulate the arpeggios.
[Gb]
So what we're going to do is we're going to play a dominant 7th arpeggio.
We're going to start with E, then we're just going to descend through various different
dominant 7th arps.
The other thing that's worth noting is that when we ascend through these shapes, we're
going to put the 3rd degree on the bottom E string.
But when we descend, we're going to shift that and put it on the A string.
That will help the flow of these [E] arpeggios.
So, if I just show you the first pattern.
[B] So [G] that's all it is, it's just literally an ascending [E] dominant 7th.
Down, hammer, [Bm] down, down, [E] hammer, down, [G] down, hammer, [E] down, hammer on, pull off.
[E] Here, the way that I do this again, as always with the others, when you descend, you can
experiment with just hammering from nowhere.
This time, we're going to add in the 4th degree and then slide down to the 3rd.
And then we're going to go down at fret 12 of the [B] E, hybrid at fret 14 of the A, and
[Ab] then we're ready in position [B] to play D7 arpeggio with the same [D] pattern.
[Am] Okay, so we have [E] E7.
[E] [D]
Now we're going to [C] do C7 in the same way.
[B]
And then finally, B7.
That's how we're going to end.
And that's just bending this degree [E]
[Gb] just a semitone higher and then finishing [E] with the root.
Okay, so once you've got the picking [G] pattern down, you know, it flows nicely.
So make sure you work on getting that articulation down as well and work on the hammering from nowhere.
Because that will really help your playing to have, especially with these arpeggios,
to have kind of like a cascading effect, you know, with the sound.
So if you're picking the notes all the time, every single note, I find it can be really,
really stiff sounding.
So if you want that fluid kind of sound, it's a good idea to be specific about how you're
approaching your hammers, you [A] know, and try and incorporate some hammers from nowhere,
you know, because it's to sound really, really smooth.
There we have it.
That is arpeggio number 10.
