Rock, Jazz & Shred Lead Guitar Arpeggios - Lesson No. 1

[toejam498]

this stuff takes time to learn. im too lazy

[TheManbearpig64]

I have the same name as this guy

[myfairvanity]

The Fluid Soloing series is an instructional masterpiece! If you make any more books i'll pick them up the second i see em, without a doubt. Kudos...Mad Kudos.

[quinnguitar]

@myfairvanity Thanks for your endorsement! These books are dense, packed with repeating melodic exercises, so I always recommend to my students to learn a just a couple examples first, and then stick with those for a while until you actually implement them into your soloing. Then, when you are actually using those, then add another one or two at a time. Keen on pickin'! TQ

[UrbanAssault5150]

Thanks for this video! Everyone check out my video "jason becker style arpeggios" thanks.

[the8thvanguard]

really badass man you gave me some good ideas thumbs up for me

[GuitarAndWow]

coolest thing ever

[GaurasSkate]

Is this is Ibanez rg 320 fm?

[quinnguitar]

@GaurasSkate yes

[arpeggioxmajor]

@BEY0NDWARD agree.. this is really something to learn..

[HiImJerry8]

i just got the book! its amazing! i love it!

[chicks161]

love it tim , just ordered the book ,i am pretty sure this is how greg howe looks at his approach to soloing , cheers

[Mrmuz1000]

It should be nicer if he can play it a little bit slower  :/

[quinnguitar]

@Mrmuz1000 Yes, I do understand that would be very helpful. But as you can see, I am trying to present an overview of a very specific and thorough concept of guitar arpeggios. This is a BIG subject. This video is just a glimpse as to what is in the book. It is really all in the book, which comes with a CD demonstrating all 164 examples/exercises. I believe this book will provide you with a complete method for developing a knowledge base of arpeggios that will last a lifetime. Mahalo

[THEUNSPOKEN100]

Wheres's the Slow Mo button...

[MGkings]

I like it.

[richpatino]

Great Lesson



[NailedSolo]

nice

[TheJonesyable]

Dude that is just incredible! Clear, well-paced, and inspiring. Particularly love the maj7 arpeggio work out at the end...really clever idea man, thanks for posting this vid :)

[brun0rtiz]

Damn man, I love your tone! Wich pups are you using? And how much of them and how much of the amp you'd say that makes your tone?

[Perfecttargetstudios]

how is this a lesson, he just plays his arpeggios im not learning anything but this guy still is great

[CityLights2009]

Proof that you're amazing...you can take the driest distorted sound I've ever heard and still make it sing. (ha no worries, I understand why you'd want a clean crisp sound for a lesson vid)

[Lateralus03]

lol, his amp looks like it says "FUCKS"

[quinnguitar]

@Lateralus03 Fuchs Overdrive Supreme

[dragonnight812]

@quinnguitar it's a nice amp

[quinnguitar]

@Lateralus03 ..its a Fuchs amplifier. Damn good boutique amp. I know it looks like the "f-word". Fuchs is a name of German heritage. Andy Fuchs knows how to make amplifiers! In German, the word "fuchs" means:

n. fox, type of animal from the dog family; shrewd and cunning person

v. vex, anger, annoy, harass

perfect description for a guitar amplifier...a cunning, shrewd, vexing, angry animal from the dog family. yup, that about describes it. Works great for jazz & blues, too.

Peaceout

TQ

[DaveDaveDaveCanada]

@Lateralus03 Oh, and it's pronounced "Fukes" - but I have to admit, I chuckled like Beavis and Butthead the first time I saw a Fuchs amp...

[DigitalGideon]

I bought it and it's the best arp book i've found so far. I would give it a six star rating if i could.

[FERISCA]

how much this awesome stuff????

[DigitalGideon]

[dmmc1043]

where did you learn this fingering system (6-1, 5-4) etc... it seems that this is a very popular naming system among teachers from the 70s-80s... possibly even before... i think will leavitt came up with it, but i'm just curious where you learned it!

[quinnguitar]

I learned it from jazz guitarist George Van Epps in his book "Harmonic Mechanisms for Guitar". The great thing about this labeling system is that it is totally objective, scientific and exact. Thanks for your comment! Tim

[GunthorX671]

man u are so good!

awesome lesson man

ur arpeggios are so clean!

[quinnguitar]

@GunthorX671

Mucho Gusto, mi Amigo. Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Anyways, I like to keep my kitchen floor clean, and so it goes for my arpeggios :) Thanks for your comment. Peace TQ

[quinnguitar]

@GunthorX671 Thank you, Gunthor. They gotta be clean. Peacebro! TQ

[27adry]

gracias por este video

[merdeuxlolz]

Your amp has the name of my litterature teacher !

[nikki435]

Man this is crazy, wow I've been sitting here for hours!!!!

[BEY0NDWARD]

great tone, feel, and VIBRATO!

[BEY0NDWARD]

This is the best arpeggio method for guitar soloing I've ever seen...

[BEY0NDWARD]

GOOD STUFF!!!

[justreleased09]

i bought the book....I still do not understand the picking. Are we supposed to alternate pick or sweep? Can you explain the picking for me.....

[quinnguitar]

Sure, I will help you understand. These are not sweep picking arpeggios, but rather melodic arpeggios. The approach to picking is very methodical, specific, and critical to play the arpeggios fast. Among virtuosos, there is very common approach to picking a constant flow of notes even when it utilizes slides, hammer-ons, or pul-offs, as in these arpeggios. This approach is explained in great detail on page 101-102 of the book. Please let me know if you have any questions. Many thanks! TQ

[justreleased09]

So the pick for the first pattern in the book(e minor 7 arp) would be down(hammer), up, down(hammer), up, down, up(pull off), down, up(pill off), down, up(pull off) and finally down on the low e? then you would have to start the sequence with an up on the repeat?

[the8thvanguard]

ey is that amp brand says fucks?

[quinnguitar]

It says "Fuchs". It a high-end boutique amplifier made by Andy Fuchs. Great amp!

[iWhor3]

Yo my guitar looks like urs :D

[terryfink]

before i get flamed i just want to say i think its importnat for any new guitarists to learn chords and how to pick before moving on to something like this.. this is the type of book which ould turn a noob away from guitar, that said some amazing array knowledge here.. Youtube has defintly helped my playing..

[quinnguitar]

Yes, as a guitar teacher for 20 years, I do not start my beginning students with this book. This book (as well as the other 3 books in my "Fluid Soloing Series") is designed for guitarists who can already play scales and chords. Thanks for your comment, and keep on pickin'!

[Axemaniac]

Great lesson Tim, many thanks, Just ordered your book! Would it be possible for you to do a vid on the wide interval/string skipping, and chordal playing books?

Cheers

[quinnguitar]

Thanks man! Yes, I plan on doing a video for each of the books in the series (hopefully very soon!) Thanks again

[tserhey]

Loved that Phrygian sound at around 5:00. :)

[beastmode003]

wow man..just looking at what you can do makes me wanna learn..but i dont like books=/ i like videos..i learn easier like that..but man..your good..

[xxHannahHeartagramxx]

OMA i want that book!

thanks for posting dude! 5/5

[stevieVantanna]

What is your book "Chord Lead Soloing" about?

...sounds interesting. when does it come out?

thanks

[quinnguitar]

Thanks for asking! BOOK 3 (to which you are referring), due for a July '09 release, focuses on developing the style of "Chord-Lead" type of playing used by Hendrix, as in the opening of "Little Wing", and in "Wind Cries Mary', "Castles Made of Sand", or SRV's "Lenny", or Steve Vai's "Sisters". Basically, the style involves using hammer ons, pull offs and slides around pentatonic scales and major and minor triads. Its a very textural sound, but a great style to have in one's arsenal.

[scenesfromamemory801]

I wish you lots of success with this book. As a guitar player myself I wish I could have had this information many years ago, but unfortunately every single book I would see at stores would be about chords and scales, and not on what you have explained here. Thanks a lot, I will be buying your book within the next week or two.

[kdjfnvjvd]

great video thanx!!! ur awesome and a great teacher. I favor the Bm7. and that run u do at 4:27 is awesome like all of them.

[quinnguitar]

thanksbro! I hope you get the book. It is loaded with melodic arpeggio runs and exercises. It took many years to formulate this stuff, and I think it would serve every guitarist at any level. peace

[stevieVantanna]

Do you include what pick strokes to use (up or downstrokes)? - not that would deter me from buying. thanks.

[quinnguitar]

Absolutely. The picking approach is crucial to getting these arpeggios to go fast. It is clearly laid out in the appendix of the book. The first run printing of this book had a small error in this area of the book (about the picking), but it should be fixed by now. Please let me know if you have any questions. The picking approach is very scientific and organized, and it works.

[jefftand]

Tim's one of the best guitar teachers around, and this book follows that lead.. excellent!

[BrianAllendorf]

Great book, extremely well put together. It is good for soloing in all styles, but it especially helped me achieve that Alexi Laiho melodic style soloing I have been looking to achieve. I can definatly see he loves arpeggios

[martimomc28]

Great book as well-Thanks Tim

[cCrazysSweet]

Thanks Tim, i def buying this book... i saw it on amazon and it had great reviews! after seeing you play i'm going to buy it FoSure!

[quinnguitar]

Thanks, rayray66. If you get the book, remember, section 1 is an encyclopedia of unique arpeggio fingerings that sound like licks. This is new-school stuff. Its because they use hammer-ons and pulloffs, which make them sound fast and smooth. Section 2 is a catalogue of arpeggio runs that use slides, which makes them sound more like licks rather than exercises. Lots of solos and arpeggio workouts are included. Rock on, jazz on, fusion on...its on!

[rayray66]

yo dis lokz good

[virtualsushi]

Sounds great. I'm going to pick up a copy.

[quinnguitar]

This video offers a scientific approach to blast arpeggios. Listen to the content. It is unprecedented.
