Sweep Picking Guitar Arpeggios

This app actually helped me with learning how to sweep pick and I found it a lot more helpful than the books and videos that I looked at. It has a lot of cool features and is very understandable. The layout of the app, I thought, was very simple but there is a lot of info in that one page. At first I thought that the price was really high for just one app, but after testing it out I wish that I had bought it sooner instead of buying bookshop wasting my time on videos.

I was very hesitant to buy this app because of the price, however I decided to take a chance. The app itself gets 5 stars, it shows around 200 arpeggio shapes in each key, plays them with backing harmony chords to the tempo you choose. Absolutely perfect for sweep picking practice and learning about arpeggio construction. There are beginner shapes and more advanced with complex movements and tapping. Honestly I'm blown away this is amazing. The negatives: there are very few. I wish the metronome tempo was easier to set, you barely touch it and it goes up 10 bpm or more, hard to set it to a specific number. I think it would be nice if the harmony chords also worked in reverse so you could enter a chord progression and have it show you matching arpeggios. I would like to be able to set the app to different tunings i tune down a half step but the app is standard tuning which can be confusing Finally I would like to be able to enter my own arpeggios to practice to, that would make this app pretty much perfect. The only other negative is the price. I'm glad I got it so in that sense it was worth it, but I think $15 would be more realistic, 25 is really high for any app. That's the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Otherwise I highly recommend this for anyone looking to improve their sweep picking technique. Thanks for reading!

I'm setting out to write reviews of each of the Fonexis apps that I own because I, probably like a lot of you, was really hesitant to spend the money. They ARE pricey, but they have turned out to be some of the best practice tools that I've come across in my 30 years of playing. If you took a single guitar lesson per month, it would cost more than any of these apps, and you would get less in terms of how much progress you would make. If you spend a month practicing with the app, you're going to make progress. It's amazing what happens when you honestly do some of these exercises for several non-stop minutes in a row! You can look up the diagrams, or get tabs, and sit down with a metronome and that's fine. What this does for you, is it presents you with the tools that you need to "drill" on a specific aspect of playing. You play along with the exercise, rather than reading it and trying to get it right. The exercise keeps going when you make a mistake, just like when you play with a band, so you get practice "jumping back in" to the music. It's priceless! I have a bunch of their apps and they have bcome my favorite, most efficient way of getting the most from the limited amount of time that I have to work on guitar. Highly recommended!

I use a bunch of this developer's apps as my main practice toolbox because each one is focused on a particular skill. There is WAY more here than "Yngwie" arpeggios. Many of these shapes are challenging, but well worth the effort. I usually will work on on or two per day, practice with the app for a while and then work them into my playing. Highly recommended!

This is a Great App. With a bit of imagination and lots of practice it will greatly enhance your music and fits many styles. And best of all you can take it with you where ever you go. Love it.
