How would it feel like - to know that you can BEAUTIFY any song that you choose - and easily create a much prettier version of it?

Are you tired of the same boring way of playing songs - only by strumming them? ("down-down-up", etc.)
In this course - you will learn how to play songs using arpeggio picking - which I like to call "the #1 way to beautify ANY song".
After this course, you will be able to EASILY play any song that you love while using this special guitar technique.
Even if originally it's a song that was played by using full strums - you will learn how to "convert" it.

Think about the following songs - can you recall the guitar picking style that makes them sound special and stand out? I bet you do for at least some of them:
Green Day - Time of Your Life
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven
The Eagles - Hotel California
Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah
Bob Dylan - Don't Think Twice It's Alright
Fleetwood Mac - Landslide
The Animals - House of The Rising Sun
R.E.M - Everybody Hurts
This picking style - called arpeggio picking - where we pick the notes individually instead of strumming all strings together - is the topic of the course.
This is personally my favorite way to play songs in - and I also really like to take songs that are originally strummed and instead spice them up using arpeggios.
You will learn exactly how to use the beautiful arpeggio technique and incorporate it into any song that you'll choose to:
All about playing songs using arpeggio picking - and that means that we will be talking practically and using examples from popular rock and pop songs.
Exactly how to convert ANY regular (strummed) song into an interesting, arpeggiated one.
How to use the arpeggio technique both by using a pick or by using your fingers. (Fingerstyle arpeggio)
The #1 secret for smoothness and accuracy when playing arpeggios - that when a friend told it to me a decade ago - my whole approach to arpeggios became a lot more natural and easy, AND I sounded way better.
When and in what parts of the songs it'll usually sound better if you'll use arpeggios instead of regular strums.
You'll be able to write songs using the arpeggio technique - songs that'll be a lot more unique.
Learn the exact arpeggio patterns for songs ranging from Bob Dylan, Jeff Buckley, R.E.M and many other greats.
I will teach you a technique that I call the "Arpeggio Bass Stairways" - where you can add gorgeous, interesting transitions 9walk-ups & walk-downs) between the different chords of the song.
How to make your arpeggios "dirty", so you can add some power to the more intense parts of the song while still not playing the simple "down-down-up" kind of rhythm.

Why should you listen to me?
A bit about me: I am a music artist, touring the world while running my online teaching business, playing venues with a band / solo, and learning with the most inspiring musicians wherever I go. In the last 8 years I've spent long periods in Australia, northern Europe, the USA, Sri Lanka, and more. Originally I am from Tel Aviv, Israel.
I hope I can be your helpful friend on your musical journey.
I have a huge passion for passing on my knowledge and seeing others succeed. In 2014 I founded the blog GuitarSongsMasters-com, and shortly after also created the accompanying Guitar Songs Masters video courses - that have gained over 100K students so far.
