Sierra Hull Arpeggio Exercise - Mandolin Lesson - Triads Harmonized Scale
Here is an arpeggio exercise I got from the bluegrass mandolin star, Sierra Hull.
We are playing triads for the Harmonized Major Scale in the key of A, and this is a closed position pattern you can move around on different parts of the fretboard, to play in all keys.
It’s a great exercise for building your technique and improving your fretboard knowledge. A must-know line for improvisers.
