My Latest YouTube Lesson on Arpeggios
Added 2023-04-14 14:57:38 +0000 UTCThis lesson lays out my blues arpeggio exercise. This was one of the most useful exercises that got me started mapping out the fretboard and learning to play over changes. Enjoy!

2024-09-18 15:10:57 +0000 UTCHi Jack, why do you present the chord voicings using major chord shapes, and not the dominant 7th shapes. They're easy enough to figure out, since you include the b7 notes in the arpeggio notes; just curious?

2023-10-06 21:21:29 +0000 UTCI believe the purpose of this exercise is that we map the arpeggios, thus learning them on the fretboard. So tab would be cheating ourselves. Right?

2023-09-26 01:20:27 +0000 UTCI joined specifically to get the tab examples of the arpeggios as well, will they be available ever?

2023-07-31 12:13:30 +0000 UTCThere are many sources for CAGED instruction. This article includes the 5 major scale shapes--> https://strungoutfretnot.com/2009/07/10/the-major-scale-and-the-minor-pentatonic-scale-the-caged-system-part-2/, and this article shows the arpeggios, including the Dominant 7th arps that Jack is using --> https://strungoutfretnot.com/2009/08/07/arpeggios-the-caged-system-part-5/

2023-07-28 00:18:48 +0000 UTCHello Jack - I am looking for the PDF's of arpeggio shapes as well. I would love to see a PDF with the related chord fingering 'shadowed' on the chart with the arpeggio prominently showing. I hope that makes sense! Reach out if not.

2023-06-22 20:22:22 +0000 UTCHi Jack. Just joined your Patreon page - will you be posting the pdf's for the arpeggios here? Would be very useful. Thanks, Mike

Pick a few songs and some of the easier Jack Ruch techniques say 4 weeks before we meet so we both have time to practice. No pressure just try out some of Jack's great lessons, share ideas and have some fun!

2023-05-13 11:22:43 +0000 UTCHi Andrew, Thanks for the tips. I'm going to download the backing track and the arpeggios with the backing track, limiting myself to a few notes at a time, as you suggest. if you are coming to Canberra, email me: otman.guitar@gmail.com I don't drive, so I go to Sydney by bus. Check out Smith's Alternative. There might be something of interest to you. https://www.smithsalternative.com/?

2023-05-13 11:06:28 +0000 UTCHi Ot Thanks for your message. You are the only one from Australia to reply so far. I will let you know if I am going to Canberra and we can have a jam. My tip to make the arpeggios sound musical like Jack said just use 3 or 4 notes in a phrase/lick. Play along to a backing track so you can hear how they fit it with the chords. Learn to alternate with a blues lick in just one part of the neck until you can do this with ease. (might take a few months!) I found this more productive than spending all my time trying to learn all 5 shapes up the whole neck.

2023-05-09 01:00:19 +0000 UTCAndrew, I live in Canberra. I started playing in Jan 2022, so I'm pretty new. I'm currently focussing on learning these arpeggios and how to apply them to 12-bar blues. Let me know if you are ever coming to Canberra.

2023-05-08 23:28:10 +0000 UTCHi Scott, I made some fretboard diagrams for the 5 positions. email me if you would like the pdf's. I'm happy to share them. andrew.woodgate.better@gmail.com

2023-05-02 04:43:46 +0000 UTCNo PDF of the arpeggio shapes?
David Ludlam
2023-04-26 09:03:18 +0000 UTCHi Jack, I agree fretboard charts would make it easier to learn the five shapes. I might produce my own using some software called "Neck Diagrams".
Andrew Woodgate
2023-04-24 03:46:08 +0000 UTCHi Guy's, Are there any Jack Ruch fans out there that live in Sydney Australia? I would love to jam with someone who is also learning all Jack's great techniques.
Andrew Woodgate
2023-04-22 00:23:54 +0000 UTCHi Jack, Is it possible to add tags to your videos to make it easier for us to revise specific parts? This would make life a lot easier. YouTube calls them "Chapters". Many Thanks.
Andrew Woodgate
2023-04-22 00:21:31 +0000 UTCHi Jack, Thanks for another great lesson. I noticed that when you demonstrate the arpeggio shapes you use your little finger a lot (one finger per fret method). When you play the solos you are using your ring finger instead of your little finger on these positions. Should we learn the arpeggios using our ring finger to build the habit for when we are soloing?
Andrew Woodgate
2023-04-22 00:17:02 +0000 UTCHi Jack - thank you for the arpeggio lesson! Have you considered fretboard charts or tabs for the 5 positions? Would be super helpful to have these handy. Thanks again for your sharing your knowledge!

2023-04-21 18:12:38 +0000 UTCGreat lesson and will make this my daily warm up exercises...thanks
Doug Triffon
2023-04-17 03:47:00 +0000 UTCThanks Jack, I know you've mentioned the importance of learning these arpeggios shapes in all positions before, but this lesson has been more comprehensive, combined with your solo examples, this helps to make it fit into place for me. Your playing is awesome, you make even a simple phrase soooo beautiful.
