    Excerpt: Hello again! In this tutorial we'll be learning another Frank Gambale sweep. A few months back I covered a sweep idea in the style of Frank and this month we'll be talking about an arpeggio shape that you may have seen him use before. Like always we will be playing each shape diatonically and in this case we will be in the key of A major. Amaj7 - Bmin7 -...

    Excerpt: Our first arpeggio is of course A major 7! As mentioned earlier pay close attention to the time to get the right hand picking down correctly. Also, pay close attention to the fingering on the left hand. It stays pretty consistent up until the last arpeggio. Any of these arpeggios are great economy/sweeping exercises.

    Excerpt: Our 2nd and 3rd arpeggios happen to be the exact same shape. As mentioned in the video make sure, when barring, to "role" your finger over each note to avoid notes bleeding into each other.

    Excerpt: Onto our 4th and 5th arpeggio! The D major will be the exact same fingering as our first A major arp so nothing too new there. Our E7 arpeggio will be a new shape.  Make sure that you still use the same left hand fingering as the major 7 arpeggios. Specifically using only your 1st and 4th finger on the D string. Making sure that the 4th finger is th...

    Excerpt: The final 2 arpeggios! The F#minor7 is nothing new shape wise, so no explanation needed there. The G#minor7b5 arpeggio will use a different fingering in the left hand. Every other arpeggio we have started with our third finger but in this case it is best to use your 4th finger to start. Besides that, the rest of the arpeggio is fingered the same as the m...
