Arpeggio practice can get old fast.<\/h2>\n

So you have learned the basics of movement, and some (or all) of the primary arpeggio patterns. \u00a0But practicing them on open strings get really old, really fast.<\/p>\n

Ideally, you practice arpeggios almost every time you sit down for your guitar practice. \u00a0If arpeggios are not enjoyable and satisfying, chances are you won’t practice them. \u00a0And that’s a shame because they are super-important to your overall classical guitar playing.<\/p>\n

Want to make it just as fun as playing pieces?<\/h2>\n

So what we need is a way to make practicing arpeggios a rich and rewarding experience in and of itself. \u00a0Not as some dry “investment in my technique” (that sounds like fun…not.), \u00a0but as something that you can actually look forward to.<\/p>\n

Arpeggio practice has to be every bit as fun as playing your pieces, or your scales (if scales are fun for you, like they are me).<\/p>\n

To make that happen, there has to be something going on that sounds good. \u00a0Something that makes a simple arpeggio into a great work of art.<\/p>\n
