Frank Gambale 7th Chord Arps Round 2

Mike Salow
AdvancedFusionScales 5 lessons11m

Hello again! In this tutorial we'll be learning another Frank Gambale sweep. A few months back I covered a sweep idea in the style of Frank and this month we'll be talking about an arpeggio shape that you may have seen him use before. Like always we will be playing each shape diatonically and in this case we will be in the key of A major. Amaj7 - Bmin7 - C#min7 - Dmaj7 - E7 - F#min7 - G#min7b5 Pay close attention to the the tab because the right hand picking pattern will be the exact same for each arpeggio.
