Arpeggio Lesson!
Added 2021-04-07 20:23:02 +0000 UTCHey friends! In this video I discuss how to get started outlining chord changes using chord tones. I demonstrate how to map out chord tones using arpeggio shapes and applying them to a simple 3 chord blues progression. The chords are A7, D7 , and E7. I will post diagrams showing the arpeggios for each of the 3 chords in all 5 positions in my next post. Enjoy!

Thanks Jack. This is a revelation.

2023-04-17 16:40:48 +0000 UTCWhen you were practicing as a wee guitar lad, would you practice one shape then goto the corresponding shape, or would you do different shapes each day?

2021-04-18 12:05:48 +0000 UTCYes in the begining that's how I would think about it. But once you practice moving through the shapes more it become second nature. You want to get to the point where you can see the chord tones wherever you are on the neck and seamlessly get from one shape to another.

2021-04-08 16:16:11 +0000 UTCI'm thinking that each arpeggio is made up of a root-3rd-5th-7th. And moving that around to each chord I'm playing over. It takes time. It's best to slowing practice the shapes in each poisition and focus on how each note relates to the chord.

2021-04-08 16:10:51 +0000 UTCThanks for this Jack. I've got a lot of work to do :) Out of curiousity, how did you get to the stage of knowing all the notes in each arpeggio? eg do just know (after lots of solid practice) that the 4th is always made up of 4-6-1-b3 of the root? OR... are you more thinking that each arpeggio will be made up of a root-3rd-5th-b7th?

2021-04-08 03:31:33 +0000 UTCSo when you're in the "G shape" A7 position and you see a D7 coming up in the next bar are you thinking, "Where is my D root in this spot on the neck. Ahh, it's there so I'm going to play a 'C Shape' 7 triad"
