Hey there guys, it's Rick here. Hope you're all doing extremely well out there. I know I am. Hope you enjoyed that little video at the start of this video. That video was made almost five years ago and I was watching it earlier today and I thought I wonder if I can actually play it, still play it that is as well as I did back then. I'd be interesting because five years of a lap since then. And then I thought it would be a great idea to record this so that you can see kind of how I approach, perhaps in these things, or going back to relearn it kind of thing. So I've just put the camera on in front of me and we're just going to go straight for it. I haven't actually sat down and worked out the pattern. So I'm just going to try and figure it out and hope that the muscle memory kind of works and comes back pretty quickly. It should do. That's in my experience that tends to happen a lot. You know, if you've put in a lot of work to learn something when you go back to relearn it, so to speak, the muscle memory kicks in and the fingers start to go, ah, I remember this. So I'm hoping that is what's going to happen. I'm going to take it nice and steady. There may be some bad notes in there, so be prepared. So I'm going to take it nice and steady and see how it goes. OK, let's get straight to it. I remember it's in the key of A minor, so that's our first, a pedgio all the way up here at fret 17. OK, the first thing I'll start with though that springs to mind with this progression. It's a series of different inversions. And it follows this sort of descending chromatic bass line. And that's important to make sure that that's brought out when we do the pedgio. So that should hopefully allow the pedgios to present themselves. It should make it pretty obvious what I played. So we're going to start here fret 17. It's just a straightforward, straightforward minor, a pedgio, a minor, with a tap at fret 24. Whoops. Yeah, there we go. It's rolling quite nicely that. One thing that's really important to do when you do these arpeggios, make sure the middle voices pop out of the arpeggio. You don't want them to be a mess when you play it at speed. Every single note needs to be clear. So I've got to make sure my left and right hands are in sync, I'm coordinating it and everything's flowing smoothly. You've also got to be extremely honest with yourself when you play it. Just because you're playing it, you know, a crazy speed doesn't necessarily mean that the clarity is there and that you can hear each individual note. You have to really be honest with yourself when doing this. So that's our first arpeggio. So following that bass note movement, what's the second one? It's a straight ahead major arpeggio, but in the first inversion. But we get this. And that's what this arpeggio sequence involves is on the top e-string doing these extended hand positions with the tap. So that's our second shape. There we go. Now we can move down to G major. Yeah, it's flowing. So the muscle memory is working. OK, and then we've got the same thing as we played here, but a whole tone lower. And on the upper strings, or upper string I should say, what have we got? 17, 20, and then tap a 24. There we go. And what do we have here? Same major. Yeah, tapping it 24 again. I remember this one is a bit of a pain in the ass. Yeah, I know why. When I was putting it together, the actual sequence, I was considering using it. A E minor arpeggio. But I ended up choosing C major and then putting the A minor, put E minor, sorry, portion of that on the upper, on the first string. Oh, be careful of that. That's better. Yeah, it's pretty awkward that to get that stretch in. Then we move from there down to D minor, straight ahead. Tapping at 24. OK, good. And then finally up to the E arpeggio, E7. On the last arpeggio, I think I hit 22, slide up to 24, but I've got false nails on the moment, so I'm practicing a lot of classical guitar. I don't want to balls them up, so I'm not going to do that. But all means you can do that if you play this. So let's just go over it nice and slowly. First arpeggio. Second. There we go. That's the whole thing. One thing that I'm not going to do is I'm not going to play it up to speed, mainly because the way that I practice things is I keep things nice and steady until I feel like I'm really, really in control before I start pushing the speed. That's just the way that I approach things. So I won't want to take it any faster than that. But yeah, there we have it. That was actually a good fun to do to go back to some of the old stuff that I used to do. So I'm going to make this a series. So if there's any arpeggio sequences that I've done in the past, go through some of my old videos and leave a comment in the comments section and I'll see if I can play it now, you know, five years later. There's a lot happening in my play since then. So it really is interesting to go back and see how I would approach it now. But the muscle memory thing is interesting because like I said before, once you've done the work, you know, it should come back to you pretty quickly. But like I said, I like to take my time over it and not rush things too much. Anyway, there we have it. Just a quick reminder. There's still 50% off downloadable lessons from my website. Link is in the description box below. So make sure you get on it only a few days left for that. Anyway, that is it. Hope you enjoyed today. I will catch you up with you guys in the next video. Take it easy.
