Online Guitar Teacher Releases Article For Creating Innovative Arpeggio Guitar Licks

Dec. 21, 2015 - PRLog -- Virtuoso guitar player and teacher Tom Hess, released a detailed article about playing creative arpeggio guitar licks (http://tomhess.net/HowToPlayCreativeArpeggioGuitarLicks).

In the article, Tom Hess explains why learning new arpeggio patterns is not necessary for playing creative and unique sweep picking licks on guitar.

Hess states: “most guitarists waste too much time looking for new arpeggios and sweep picking licks to play and practice. The problem is that learning random licks doesn't actually teach one to be creative. Creativity is a special skill that must be practiced separately.”

Hess' article outlines four easy-to-follow approaches guitarists can take to turn any average arpeggio guitar lick into great sounding sweep picking phrases. Hess points out: “By combining standard arpeggio shapes with a few general musical creativity concepts, it becomes very easy to create lots and lots of sweep picking licks. These licks wouldn’t be possible to create any other way.”

Hess also explains that the number one reason why most guitarists struggle to play innovative arpeggio guitar licks has nothing to do with lack of talent for creativity. He states: “the biggest reason why most guitarists have a hard time being creative when playing arpeggios on guitar is due to focusing only on learning new concepts, skills and techniques. Little attention is paid to applying, integrating and mastering all that a player already knows. In addition, one must track progress with his musical skills regularly to identify his guitar playing strengths and weaknesses and make his practicing more effective.”
