720 Sweep Arpeggio Patterns for 6 String Bass

Sweep Arpeggio Patterns for 6 String Bass sound awesome because they combine chord tones and tensions. This book will help any instrumentalist interested in sweep arpeggio patterns to maximize their application. By working with some or possibly all of these 720 sweep arpeggio patterns for 6 string bass you will gain the technical skills to permute any arpeggio so that it can be used more often, without sounding like a “lick.” Working with these patterns will also strengthen your ability to play more angular types of melodies, and will also show you a different way to outline chord types through an arpeggio. The course can be used by any musician reading bass clef, but is tailored to both 6 string electric and acoustic players.

720 Sweep Arpeggio Patterns for 6 String Bass will also be very useful with the other sweep pattern books that I have released or will release, in the future. Musicians tend to play arpeggios from the bottom to the top or vise versa. This severely limits the use of these musical ideas. Working with these 720 patterns will help diversify your musical palette, and allows you to reuse material without it becoming repetitive or obvious to the listener.

Benefits From 720 Sweep Arpeggio Patterns for 6 String Bass

Here are some of the benefits from working with the sweep arpeggio patterns for 6 string bass:

• Melodic diversity through arpeggiation
• An understanding of how a limited number of notes can be used in many musical situations.
• Technical control over arpeggiation
• Sight reading of angular melodies
• Theoretical understanding of the application of limited resources
• Excellent for sight singing especially if you include the MetroDrone® in your practice.
• If you are a 6 String electric and acoustic player with weak sight reading skills you can still play the sweeps by using the string, picking/bowing, finger and fret guide shown for all the sweep arpeggio patterns. See example below.
