This version of Blackberry Blossom focuses on the A section. We're navigating the core melody line with arpeggios and mainly on the bass strings. An arpeggio simply means we play chord tones one at a time. This requires some cross-picking to do this on the bass strings. You'll incorporate open strings and avoid big stretches with the fret hand in the main arrangement, but if you check the licks you'l find some alternate ways to play the same arpeggios.


Even if you don't incorporate this study in a lead break for Blackberry Blossom it is a great study to help you get familiar with the chord tones for this progression. It's also great cross-picking practice and it sounds great! It's hard to go wrong with chord tones. This one is listed at 30 BPM on purpose. Go slow and aim for accuracy. You'll hear 8 clicks before the etude starts.
