How to Play a 4 Note Arpeggio on Lead Guitar

Hi, I'm Rick Tobey on behalf of Expert Village and this is Blues Progressions Part 3. The blues scale, as we played it, goes like this. So you can practice it going up. And, what we can also do is play what is called four note arpeggio, where you play four notes and then you start on the second note and play four notes. So we'll start on the index finger, then we'll go to the little finger and start there. And we'll just keep doing it in groups of four. We'll go all the way up and all the way down. And it sounds something like this. Well, actually it's something like this. Let me do that one more time. Well, you get the idea. You'll just need to practice that a little bit and it'll sound real good.
