ExamplE4 rock ballad arpeggios

Start by playing the cord shape on the highest strings using the open first string and the third and fourth fingers on the second and strings; keep those fingers in place throughout. Use your first and second

to change the bass notes every two beats using notes from the key of C# minor (C#-D#-e-F#-G#-A-B). Make sure you are fretting cleanly as we don’t want finger flesh accidentally muting adjacent strings.
