That's good! Congrats.

Your picking hand has a lot more work to do & using a lot more precise motions. So first & foremost be patient with yourself.

[quote=kenroutledge]Could you suggest any lessons/drills/practice that would improve this technique as I feel once this improves I will be able to play several songs and make them sound good (as opposed to just strumming chords, which is not the level I want to be at)

Take any chord & make an arpeggio exercise out of it. Devote exclusive practice session time to just drilling one chord. For example, take the C major chord.

|--------------------------------------|[br]|-----------1----------------1--------|[br]|--------0----0----------0----0------|[br]|-----2----------2----2----------2---|[br]|--3----------------3-----------------|[br]|--------------------------------------|

1. Pick slowly & evenly with a light touch. Stay relaxed.

2. Use very small motions. Start strumming toward the floor on the first 3 notes, then hop over the B string & reverse direction going to the ceiling on the next 3 notes. Try to pick in the direction of the next string to be played.

3. Tilt the pick a little so it can more easily glide over the top of the strings. DO NOT dig in too far below the plane of the strings.

You can try different chords, different sets of strings or even permutations of the arpeggio pattern. For example G major:

|-----------3----------------3-------|[br]|--------0----0-----------0----0----|[br]|-----0----------0-----0---------0--|

|--------------------------------------|

|--------------------------------------|

|--3----------------3-----------------|

Or a different C major pattern:

|-----------------------------------|[br]|-----------1---------------1------|[br]|-----0-------0------0---------0--|[br]|--------2---------------2---------|[br]|--3--------------3----------------|[br]|-----------------------------------|

My old GF 2 course has a tutorial using arpeggio patterns.

Hope that helps!
