Arpeggios
are chord notes played
one at a time rather than
strummed or plucked all
together. They are an
essential part of great
improvising and melody
writing because playing
chord notes in the right
places creates solid
melody lines. Chord notes
sound more resolved than
notes that are chromatic
out of the key .
Practicing arpeggios will
improve your ability to
learn melodies, make
reading music easier, and
develop your tone and
picking accuracy. The
first part of this book
focuses on the basic
fingerings of the
following six arpeggios:
major 7th, major 7th #5 ,
dominant 7th, minor 7th,
minor 7th b5 , and
diminished 7th. This book
along with its
accompanying audio
represents a
comprehensive guide to
all things arpeggio. It
delves into traditional
applications of
arpeggios, as well as how
they relate to slash
chords, modal music and
more. The student will
learn about how arpeggios
fall over standard chord
progressions, as well as
how to embellish
arpeggios to make them
more musical in
performance situations.
In standard notation and
tab. Includes access to
online audio.
