About the Course

When I understood the power and potential of using arpeggios not only in my Bluegrass playing but in my guitar playing in general, a whole new world of visualizing the fretboard opened itself to me.

Perhaps the most widely recognized Bluegrass guitarist who uses arpeggios regularly in his playing is the masterful flat-picker Tony Rice. Using his extensive knowledge of Jazz theory, Tony has managed to infuse his legendary Bluegrass style with the use of fluid and interval-spreading arpeggios on songs like

"Don't Think Twice," "Manzanita," "Shenandoah," and countless others.

Bluegrass Guitarpeggios teaches you how to do this, too.

What You Will Get

With Bluegrass Guitarpeggios, you'll be getting a plethora of content to help you hone your Bluegrass solos for use in jam sessions, playing fiddle tunes, or when creating your own music.

Throughout the course, you'll be learning new phrases that integrate wide intervals with the use of arpeggios to help you understand how to navigate the fretboard in ways you've likely never thought of before.
