Creative Arpeggio Phrasing


HelloReader,

When I started playing guitar in 1988 (yikes!), one of the many big influences that guided my own guitar journey was Greg Howe.

What makes Greg’s solos sound so colourful, fluid, and harmonically advanced?

The secret lies in his groundbreaking use of superimposed arpeggios, inventive scale shapes, and rhythmic phrasing.

Greg's new book covers ALL of these concepts and more.

Now, if you're totally new to arpeggios, fear not... there are a few great free lessons on my website to prepare you for this next more advanced deep-dive into arpeggios.

Let me know what you think of Greg Howe's playing, and if you have his book, do him a favor and a drop a review on Amazon.

Hello Reader, I’m often asked “what are you listening to lately?” by friends, guitarists, and my readers. Every once in a while a cool album drops that I feel compelled to share with everyone. Flipping through Apple Music yesterday I stumbled upon this Bach-Weiss recording by Alberto Crugnola, an Italian Lutenist. If you love the sound of a guitar, you’ll absolutely love Lute music.
