Tomo Fujita Guitar Wisdom

Hi all - Just watched this and am going to start working on it. In this lesson, the left hand fingering was reviewed but the right hand/picking wasn't discussed. Is there a best practice for how to pick these? In the examples that Tomo was showing, he was using mostly downstrokes, but not exclusively downstrokes?

I'm just coming off of the November challenge videos, so I'm really paying attention to fingering and picking, and in those videos, Tomo was quite emphatic about using downstrokes. Just wondering if there is a best practice that will have benefits that I'm not seeing yet with arpeggios.

And as an aside, I think that my ear getting better, I heard the opening of SRV's "The Things I Used to Do" when Tomo played the augmented arpeggio.

Thanks!

Thanks Matt for making this thread.

Basically when you are learning triad arpeggios,. you are playing 1/2 notes. So all down.
Then you practice with 8th notes, then alternate picking is better.

At Berklee, I see some students played with a little down down or up up picking, then I correct them with alternate picking.

Good job! Slow Blues, R & B Slow Ballad = V chord = Augmented sound!
Like Same Old Blues / Freddie King

Thank you.
