The Riff Meets Arpeggio Etude Beginner

The Riff Meets Arpeggio Etude BeginnerThis is how I like to practice going between rhythm and lead exploring not only new licks and rhythms, but also how they connect together. Includes: Full Guitar Pro & PDF transcription Spoken Analysis PDF with analysis

and a combination of Stratocaster & Les Paul guitars

I've carefully dissected the method for you:

Introduction to lead playing: Pentatonic scale

emphasizing the importance of short-term rewards to avoid getting discouraged

providing you with a solid foundation for any scale later on

Space & Freedom: Featuring only my rhythm guitar

discuss key concepts of modulation

Simple 3-Step Process: Master accurate timing and respect musical pauses and silences to perfect your riffs

Just a few minutes of daily practice can give you a breakthrough

I played around with some loops in my DAW and ended up with a really cool House / Electronic backing track

Gradual Difficulty Increase: Build speed and accuracy through progressively challenging material
