Sweep picking fingering
Something interesting i noticed in this reel involving the fingering of the arpeggios. The standard major arpeggio shapes, specifically the A caged shape, are generally barred which causes problems separating the notes needed for it to be an arpeggio. Notice his fingering of those shapes, he uses his 2 and 1 fingers to finger the bar shape like how you would typically do with a minor shape. So for a descending A caged shape it would be something like 4 1 on the high e and 2 on the b followed by 1 on the g and 2 again on the D. He then goes back 4 and 1 fingers on the A. I think this is cool especially for those becker arpeggios which are quite difficult to give a true “broken chord” sound.
