Alright, well first of all, apologies that I couldn't talk over the slow version... I wanted to talk over the various parts and break them down but my camera only does 45 second vids and the file size is 11mb in total (fast + slow parts) already. If anyone really wants I could do individual breakdowns but I'll do my best to run through.
It's a Bach piece... The first section is correct, I read the sheet music for it (it's a piano piece) and I did my best to find hte easiest way to play it on guitar. After the 22nd fret bend I gave up reading hte music and did the rest by ear; even if it's not right it's still a good exercise IMO.
This exercise is for picking accuracy and you should use a clean tone, and try and keep things even and clean... Even if I didn't :laugh2:

I'll try and do a fingering run through...... :E
Alright, for the first C minor arpeggio, you're going to want to flatten your pinky to get the 10th frets on the A + D strings.
That will let you get your second finger ready to get the 8th on G. Note the 9th on D is played with first finger to get yourself in the right position for the next arpeggio.
Again, flatten your pinky for the two notes (12th on D + G).
On the next arpeggio, use your 3rd finger on the 12th on G and your pinky on the 13th on B.
And the next lick, use 2nd finger, 1st finger on 11th - 10th E, 13th-12th B as you go down the scale.
Note after you've played the C note (15th fret A) use your first finger to play the 12th and 13th frets on D.
Next points to note would be again flattening your pinky to play the 17th on D + G.
Again, use the fingering 2nd, 1st (on both strings) for 16th-15th B, and 17th 16th G.
On the descending lick that follows on the B string; 20 = pinky, 18 = 2nd finger, 16=1st finger, 15=1st finger, then the next 16=2nd finger.
After the 22nd fret bend on the E string (using pinky) 20= 2nd finger, and here's an annoying bit (couldn't find an easier way) 19=1st finger 17=1st finger 15=1st finger.
For the 1st descending Cminor arpeggio that follows, use this fingering =
20th E = pinky
15th E = 1st finger
16th B = 2nd finger
17th G = 3rd finger
17th D = 2nd finger
15th E = 1st finger
And that will leave you to use your 2nd finger to play the 16th on the high E again...
Man... I'm a really sh!te teacher :laugh2:
Well, I hope you get more from the tab than from my explanation (attempt)
