Sus2 (Add9) Sweeping Arpeggios

[seanSHRED87]

That Bm add9 arp sounds like a super nintendo game. ^_^

[DownSouthable]

1:04-1:05 Fig tree huh. :p

[Marcofrydshou]

You are Talented Guitar Player... Very cool..

[HImynameis303]

kurt cobain is alive??????/

[HImynameis303]

my brain exploded

[MaLaKaThIsS]

Sounds a bit like Skwizgaar lol. Nice lesson btw 

[Aaarrrggghhification]

Why does he look so bored?

[maamaano1]

dont look at me like that

[numbersabcdefg]

Nice - have you ever thought of making an etude with the figures?

[cromlechs]

Very good lesson!!!!! :)

[CobHatecrewNor]

What is the difference between for example a Dm9 chord and a "sus" chord

[ddNicKbb]

@CobHatecrewNor ill try to explain:P

an add9 chord has a ninth note of the scale instead of seventh

an sus4 chord(for example) has a fourth note of the scale instead of the seventh

and when you have major add9 chord you use the major chord to it out:P

hope it helped:P

[HarvesterOfSorrow061]

The Em add 9 sounds awesome

[ConnorShawMusic]

they are different..but the 2 and the 9 is the same note... the 9 would just be an octave higher

[yuen99471996]

Add9 and sus2 is different

[anonymous564]

Which is it? Add9 or Sus2?

Because i'm pretty sure add9 has the intervals 1-3-5-9 while sus2 is only 1-2(9)-5

[mikey020495]

man, my brother has always been doing this but he didn't know the chords name. nice lesson, btw

[666jet]

OMG! thank you SO much for an intelligent and thought out reply! the last reply i got on this was from jan1080 which you can see below and i felt it was a real cop-out thing to say. that and i get so many stupid replies to comments on here that it makes me want to punch people!

i like your idea and i'll be looking into what you said. thanks for a fresh outlook!

[666jet]

even with high quality on it's still a little difficult to see because you can't slow the video down and really look. personally i can figure it out because i'm a relatively experienced guitarist but i still had to view it a few times and repeat some areas.

still, you should post some tab for those people who can't see it that easily; like people who maybe wear glasses and such... it's not like it would be that hard to post a tab...

[Botdra]

It would be easier to figure it out by ear, which you should do from now on if you want to be a good musician.

[dumpinfoolz420]

@666jet I've been playing for abt. 2 1/2 years and its easier for me to listen instead of see

[666jet]

you should really have some tab for this so we can actually practice instead of just watching you play them. the video isn't clear enough for anyone to figure it out by watching... unless this video is meant to just be like masturbation for you to watch yourself be awesome! i mean, it doesn't really help anyone out, you know...

anyways, is that an RG 220 B your playing?

[jan1080]

It's not hard to figure out. You can see the finger positioning easily.

[CarlAugustTidemann]

More vids. will come this fall:)

[Aanalleinoneman]

uummm do you have tabs?? :)

[TheKidGuitarist]

You just melted my face with your awesome playing! How do you get them to be so fast?

[JerichBlakk]

A W E S O M E !!!!! Carl..thanks again we need more videos from you PLEASE!!!!

[freaky666freak]

he looks demented when hes playing

[Sirmalice192837]

learn scales and how to build chords

[Eiki7]

you know alot of arpeggios 0.0 did u take lessons?

[damnationofsociety]

dude, do you have tabs for this?I dont know music theory so I kinda need tabs.lol

[TransparentWishes]

Thanks man.

I will try to learn this.

It sounds really awesome :)

[SevenString007]

DUDE THESE ARE THE BEST ARPEGGIOS EVER! ! ! you are my hero and im infinitely jealous of ur long blond hair.

[RockStarByNight]

Figs 2 And 3. those Were EPIK! Can You Tell Me The Frets And Chords?

[Gmanmusiclover]

E minor add 9 (sus 2) chord, and B minor add 9 (sus 2) chord...

it says so in the video bro

[Anonymousmuffin]

Why are people saying Add9 (sus 2). They arent the same chord lol

[shutupandlisten13]

staring into camera... O_o

[GotTimeToooKill]

hahaa

[alagoetz]

I wanna hear YOUR opinion. what do you think about my guitar playing? please watch miy vids and comment!

thx

[proggoth]

Some confusion it seems from the comments. I can tab this for anyone who wants it.

[xXxsightsxXx]

umm. yeah if you dont mind it was really good, clean and everything. ill send u a friend request thanks a bunch

[ThrashMan91]

Hmmmm...I like the tonality of sus2 and add 9.

time to experiment

[thimszach]

Do you have tab or anything for this?

[Suigetsu1337]

i love the sounds of 2 and 3

[ShaZamm99]

Figure 2 and 3 would be SWEET in a song

[GrenouilleOnline]

euhm ... what's the point of this?

[dingle1]

To show you he can play sweep arpegios, the most overdone technique in electric guitar playing history.

[fortyfourcaliber]

I thought it was the guitarist from Winds of Plague, lol.

[Radicz0r]

Winds of plague is awesome

[AlexiLaiho227]

lol i'm so sorry i meant to vote 5* but my mouse spazzed out and made me vote one.

SHIT

[nathansu2]

HOW COULD YOU

[AlexiLaiho227]

*kills self*

[illucid1982]

The Guitar Grimoire series of bookes are a great reference guide to any musical question. I bought a few of them and the chords and voicings book first half is pretty much a breakdown of arpeggios and the scales that can be used with that key. Check em out

[osensei2987]

Why is it that guitarists have the concept that arpeggios by definition must incorporate leaping intervals? If the chords themselves can be inverted then why not invert arpeggios?

Ex: CEB = Cmaj7 (omitted 5th) in the 4th inversion the same chord is spelled BCE. That's with a 1/2 step (min 2nd) between B and C. If I play the single notes BCE is that not an arpeggio? More interstingly let's add a 9th to the Cmaj7 like this: CEGB(D). If I play BCDE then that covers most of the notes of the arp!

[45playsguitar]

do you roll your finger on the 9th fret of figure 2?

[lilfisticuffs]

i still cant seem to get the technique with sweeping down, i have been practicin g for months slowly and with a metronomeand i still cant seem to get it it just sounds horrible, and i have no clue what im doing wrong, can any one explain what i may be doing wrong

[45playsguitar]

hey bud, i cant tell u exactly what u r doing wrong but here. if you are having trouble sweeping down it might be because u arent tilting your pick enough. u could try is to hold all the strings down at about the 12th fret. and look down the strings and notice how much they go down in the strumming area. you might be holding your pic to high from the strings and when u push them down u are missing the strings. so what u could do is hold them all down and practice sweeping them pressed down,

[jakehanson123456789]

on fig 3

if you went from the ninth up to the 7th fret after about 5 times that would be a nice heavy riff

fancy doing it ?

[ButterIsntGood]

Amazing sweeping dude.

[Cobhcj]

veldig bra sweeping!. men lurer på en ting hva mener man med add9?

[IvoryStars]

I love the last bass note that seems to pulse as he plays.

[XXtriniguitarmanXX]

wats the point of the video wen u cant explain wat ur doin

[DiaryofaMadman1982]

I think he wants us to here the notes, find the notes, and do the theory ourselves. I didn't get the em sus2 sweeps till i looked at it, and did the theory over each note.

[entised4life]

yeah, man...you should probably have learned music theory by now...and just pause the vid for a second then find the notes.

[HornsOverHalos66]

figure tree niggas

[fistmeetsurface]

0:40-0:55 id love to know what notes hes hitting

[surj33t]

I'm not great with music but I think the "Em add9" arpeggio he's playing is E G B C E C B G.

Someone correct me if I'm mistaken...

[scottalan137]

E G B F# E F# B G

[RTE101]

woah, sounds like that one song with the really fast add9 arpeggios up and down, what was it called? nice, mr. cobain. (not that you play like him, he was a terrible guitarist, but the hair ;))

[stratakat]

Smooth Right Hand...

good control.

s

[tbilisiman]

what model of ibanez is it?

[TempleOfSin]

Toki? Is thats you?

Seriously, it sounds good.:)

[viperabs]

I like the tonalities of the not-so-common arpeggios you use.

[Dirthead302]

i mean such my bad

[Dirthead302]

He stares at the camera with suck intensity

[Nattleite]

u r great, winds ! genius ! please upload a video of hellhammer when he's playing drums :) i really would like to see a good video of him.

[spyroninja]

Actually, a sus2 chord is one in which the third of the chord does not appear, because the second is suspended, carrying over from the previous chord. An add9 is a triad with the second (ninth) added, which means the third is included. If you were to play the triad over three octaves, with the second played in the highest, it wouldn't be called an add16 chord, because it's about harmonic function, not about octave displacement.

[Valdius001]

owned...

[metallicafan14]

lol that was mayor ownage

[FinnMetal4Life]

@spyroninja sooo... is that the same as an empty 3rd?

[herberj7]

gr8 stuff ur amazing wot guitar is that

[Zebula77]

Ahh, a fellow Norwegian! ;) Greetings from Mo i Rana. Nice sweeping. :D

[spyroninja]

Just thought I should say sus2 and add9 chords are not the same.

[DavidCasper]

In technical theory, no, they're not. For these purposes, though, they're close enough that it doesn't really matter. Most of the people at whom this lesson is directed probably aren't terribly familiar (or perhaps concerned) with theory anyway, as those who know theory would know the arpeggio shapes already.

[Shrdstorm]

Very Good, you are one of my favorites...

[godsmack6790]

excellent! i cant sweep pick worth shit.

[FaustOrFamine]

Thanks for the great vids as always, Carl & Andy. Any way to get tabs of Carl's instructional vids?
