String skipping · 4/4 · 80–130 BPM

String skip arpeggio

Root on 6, skip 5, land on 4. The skeleton of spread prog voicings.

Skipping trains the pick to travel without clipping the mute. Spread chords need this.

1. 01

   Down on 6 (open), down on 4 (fret 4 or 3), up on 4, down on 6.

2. 02

   Mute the fifth string with the index underside. It never rings.

3. 03

   Add the high string open as a 9th once the skip is clean.

4. 04

   Climb the fourth-string note: 2, 3, 4, 6 (sus2, m, maj, b5).
