Hey everyone, This week’s new free exercise is now up in the classroom and I’ve gone back to one of my favourite types of fingerstyle practice exercises… arpeggios. For anyone unfamiliar with the term, an arpeggio is when you take the notes of a chord and play them individually instead of strumming them together. They are one of the best ways to improve fingerstyle technique because they help develop: • Fingerpicking accuracy • Right hand coordination • Thumb independence • Smooth chord changes • Timing and rhythm These exercises are based around common open chord progressions, so they’re also great for building confidence moving between chords while keeping a steady fingerpicking pattern. The Easy Version is available now in the classroom tab for free members. There is also a Full Version available for members which adds melody notes into the patterns to make the exercises more musical and help further develop fingerstyle coordination. If you’d like access to this exercise plus my full back catalogue of tabs, exercises, PDFs and Guitar Pro files, you can find everything here. 🎵 Any Gordon Lightfoot fans out there? If so, make sure to check back tomorrow because this week’s new fingerstyle tab is If You Could Read My Mind by Gordon Lightfoot. Both the Full and Easy Versions will be available tomorrow afternoon. Have a great day Jack

Ciao a tutti
