Hi Chris,

I am assuming you mean arpeggios of diatonic triads in a key? I would recommend tackling one shape at a time and then working on strining them together. Depending on the way which apreggio shapes you use you may or may not have to deal with rolling across the strings.

If you say you can already play 5 or 6 string shapes easily, then this should not be a problem. Like I said just take one shape at a time and then add the others when you feel ready. Also start at slow tempo of course.

Good Luck!

Mike.

Mike is right. Tackle one shape at a time starting at a slow tempo. Listen to Rusty Cooley's "Under the Inluence" arpeggio section as this can really help your articulation and accuracy for three string and other arpeggios.

I guess I'm not sure how you can do five and six string sweeps smoothly and quickly yet you can't do the triads.

Check it out, man...Here's my advice.
Keep practicing. There really isn't any advice people can give you on that subject using a forum. Just keep practicing, that's all there is to it.

Also consider alternate picking the arpeggios. I have posted a good number of lessons under the monthly section on the site that have you alternate picking various arpeggio patterns. It is quite hard at first but after a while you will be able to play them about as fast as makes sense musically (i.e. sweeps if done insanely fast are just a blur with no context, but alternate picked arpeggios at say 100-110 BPM sextuplets sound incredibly rhythmic and crisp). And it will have a mind boggling effect on your coordination. I now find myself reaching for notes and coming up with licks that I previously wouldn't have come up with. Also work on some classical pieces. I posted some classical piece excerpts as lessons that mostly employ alternate picking.

later,

brian
