PLAYING TIPS

This section of the solo features sweep picking. Play the Amaj7 arpeggio in Bar 128 with all four of your fingers placed diagonally across the highest four strings. Pick the four notes in a smooth, continuous downstroke motion allowing the tip of your pick to glide across the strings. As your pick passes from string to string, follow the motion with your four fretting fingers and fret only one note at a time to keep the notes separated. Practise this move in both the ascending and descending directions to get a feel for it before adding the legato notes on the first string. Bar 129 contains a sequence of three-string arpeggio shapes, which all use similar picking patterns; remember to use smooth continuous motions rather than individual pick strokes.
