lol i can't even do the beginning arpeggios and I've been practising them for a year. My arpegios don't even sound liek that, they sound like some classical music type D:

@ariadarabi Those arpeggios are really hard. If you have not practised guitar for a lot of years, it's no wonder they take time. Try something easier to avoid total frustration. :)

nice cover and thank you for using your wrist to pick! lol i get so tired of seeing people using their whole arms. nice arpeggios at the beginning :D hope to see you do the solo soon

[mad00002]

how is that possible? ;o lol thats great, keep it up

Really, really awesome. Not even looking at the fretboard: "Man, this is so boring, I wish Romeo came up with something more challenging." This guy's fingers and movements remind me quite a bit of Satriani.

@usfguy85 It can be played in two ways. Personally I use them both: When I play the five string shape, I use my middle finger on the second string, but if I play the three string shape, I use my ring finger.

@ariadrabi

I would suggest to practice the basic sweep arppeggio shapes. these are just the basic major and minor shapes with a few finger rolls. sweeping is one of the main things I've been practicing since I started playing guitar 1 and a half years ago and I learned the intro sweeps in about half an hour. just start slow and build speed

@mad00002 lol thnx for the advice but i gotta play those arpeggios because ive beenn playing guitar for 4 years and i wanna advance from intermediate to expert =P

[ironwolg]

@mad00002 you have inspired me to learn the solo by saying you haven't seen anyone on youtube play it lol
