WHAT ARE GUITAR ARPEGGIOS AND HOW DO THEY
WORK?
Here is the definition of the word arpeggio:
An arpeggio is a broken chord, where the notes of the chord are
played in succession instead of simultaneously.
Arpeggios are used in all genres of music, such as jazz, blues, rock, metal, classical music,
pop, etc. In jazz (and metal) arpeggios are used differently compared to other genres of
music.
In pop music for example, an arpeggio on guitar is usually used for accompaniment.
Instead of playing or strumming the notes of a chord simultaneously, the individual notes
of the chord are played in succession by applying a fingerpicking pattern, usually on
acoustic guitar.
Here's an example of how an Am arpeggio can be used in pop music. The base of this
arpeggio is a basic Am chord shape and the notes of the chord are not muted after they are
played, but ring together.
hitpsuiwwujazzqutar bebloglautar- arpeggios! an711122, 623 PM Jazz Guitar Arpeggios ~The Best Beginner's Guide
In jazz (and blues, metal, etc), arpeggios are used as an improvisation technique for soloing
instead of accompaniment. In contrast to arpeggios used in other genres of music, the
notes of a jazz guitar arpeggio are usually played with a plectrum (unless you play
fingerstyle) and muted after they are played, so they don't ring together. Another contrast
is that these arpeggios are not based on a chord shape.
Here’s an example of how an Am arpeggio would be played in jazz:
In this tutorial we will be focusing on the jazz-type of arpeggios.
WHAT ARE ARPEGGIOS USED FOR?
hitpssiwwujazzqutar bebloglautar- arpeggios!711122, 623 PM Jazz Guitar Arpeggios ~The Best Beginner's Guide
improvise over chord progressions and jazz standards:
* Chord tone soloing: playing arpeggios in your guitar solo will outline the harmony of
the tune (contrary to scales). This chord outlining gives your improvisation a sense of
direction, making it more interesting to listen to.
* Arpeggios make it easier to improvise a nice voice leading, making your solos more
melodic.
* You can use arpeggios to add color and complexity to your solos by using
substitutions,
HOW TO START USING ARPEGGIOS
Now, which arpeggios should you learn?
Every jazz guitarists needs to know how to play the arpeggios of all
chord types in all positions of the guitar neck.
This may not seem a simple task, but with a good practice routine, you will be able to play
all arpeggios without thinking in a relative short period of time.
So, before learning how to use arpeggios in guitar solos, let’s get started by learning the
basic positions.
BASIC ARPEGGIO SHAPES: MINOR, DOMINANT AND
MAJOR
We're going to learn the basic arpeggio shapes (aka grips) by looking at the most
common chord progression in jazz, the 251 (IVI).
In this example we'll be working with a 251 progression in the key of G major:
hitpssiwwujazzqutar bebloglautar- arpeggios! srt711122, 623 PM Jazz Guitar Arpeggios ~The Best Beginner's Guide
Am7 D7 Gmaj7 %
To play over this kind of chord progression, you need 3 types of arpeggios: minor,
dominant and major.
The Minor Arpeggio
Here are the arpeggio notes of the Am7 chord:
‘Am7 Arpeggio A c E G
And here is the guitar arpeggio shape for the Am7 chord:
{@ red dots represent the root or 1 of the guitar chord.
(Oplack dots represent the other chord notes. The letters are the note names.

‘Am7 Arpeggio Exercise #2: you can also practice by playing the chord before the arpeggio,
a good exercise for your ears.
ARPEGGIO PATTERNS
Here are 2 arpeggio patterns that are a little more technically advanced, practicing
these is optional, but a good exercise to get the arpeggio shapes under your fingers.

MOVABLE SHAPES
One thing you need to know: all arpeggio shapes are movable. If you know the
arpeggio for Am7 you can use that same ‘shape’ to find the arpeggios for other minc
chords.

of Am7), we start on the 3rd fret for Gm7. You move the root of the arpeggio and play
the shape from there, like this:

arpeggios follow the 251 chord progression.
Exercise #1 - Ascending
The first thing we'll practice is playing the arpeggios ascending, starting from the root. This
exercise is not very musical and you will never use them like this for improvisation, but it's a
necessary step in learning how to play arpeggios.

Exercise #3 - Alternating
The next step is alternating the arpeggios. We do this by playing the first arpeggio (Am7)
for 1 bar and then switch to the nearest note of the second arpeggio (D7) in the second bar.
The same happens when we switch to the third arpeggio (Gmaj7).

guitar neck. Instead of starting the Am7 arpeggio on the low E-string, we will start it on the
high E-string:

When you've got these basic arpeggio shapes under your fingers, the following (important)
step is to start improvising using these shapes. Practicing arpeggios starting from the root
in streams of 1/8 notes is an important step in the learning process, but not very musical
Once you got this step under your fingers, it's important to get creative so you don't end up
sounding like a robot on stage...
Arpeggios can be started on any note and played in any order. You
can mix notes, skip notes and use any rhythm you can think of. Be
creative!

Now start to improvise yourself, using only the basic shapes you learned so far. Use the
backing track to make sure you make the arpeggio change at the right time.
ARPEGGIO CHARTS
So far in this tutorial, we worked with arpeggio shapes that have their root on the E-string
(Am7 and Gmaj7) or on the A-string (D7), There are of course a lot of other positions
these arpeggios can be played.
The following charts in the list below are an overview of arpeggio positions for the most
common chord types. The big diagram shows all the notes of the arpeggio over the entire
neck, the smaller diagrams beneath it show the individual arpeggio grips.
All 22 grips below need to be memorized and practiced so you can
play them fluently and without hesitation...

PRACTICING ARPEGGIOS
When practicing new scales, arpeggios, or chords, it's a good idea to practice in a musical
context. Often when | try to incorporate a new concept or fingering into my playing, | make
a little tune out of the new material.
Here’s an example of such a tune. This exercise will teach you how to play 9 and 13
arpeggios, as well as their respective chords.
F9 Arpeggio
The first chord and arpeggio is an F9, which is an F7 + the tension 9:

HOW TO USE DIMINISHED ARPEGGIOS OVER DOMINANT
CHORDS
Diminished arpeggios are often used to play over dominant (7b9) chords, Here is the
rule of thumb:
You can play a dim7 arpeggio from the b9, 3, 5 or b7 of any
dominant 7th chord. This will result in a 7b9 sound.
For example: over a G7, you can play an Abdim7, Bdim?, Ddim7 or Fdim7 arpeggio:
Abdim7 Arpeggio
bo 3 5 b7
hitpssiwwujazzqutar beblaglautar- arpeggios! oart‘Tia2, 423M Jazz Guitar Arpeggios ~The Best Beginner's Guide
Played over G7 3 5 b7 b9
Ddim7 Arpeggio D F Ab Cb
Played over G7 5 b7 bo 3
Fdim7 Arpeggio F Ab cb Ebb
Played over G7 b7 bo 3 5
In this arpeggio technique exercise, you'll learn how to play diminished arpeggios over
dominant chords. The exercise is played over a ii VI VI7 chord progression in C major.
Dmz7 (ii): over the first chord a normal Dm7 arpeggio is played:
Dm? arpeggio
G7b9 (V): here a diminished arpeggio (Bdim7) starting from the 3rd (b) of the dominant
chord is played. There is a slight difference between the arpeggio shape played ascending
and the shape played descending to make it easier to go to the next arpeggio shape.
hitpssiwwujazzqutar bebloglautar- arpeggios! asi7t‘Tia2, 423M Jazz Guitar Arpeggios ~The Best Beginner's Guide
Bdim7 arpeggio
Bdim7 arpeggio (variation)
Notice that the Bdim7 outlines the 3, 5, b7 and b9 notes of the G7b9 chord. It is a rootless
arpeggio (there is no 1), which we often refer to as the 3-b9 arpeggio.
Diminished chords (and arpeggios) are symmetrical because they are built by stacking
minor thirds. This means that you can treat any note of a dim7 arpeggio as the root note’
you could think of the Bdim7 arpeggio as either Bdim7, Ddim7, Fdim7 or Abdim7, they are
all the same.
majo (I): here | play an Em7 chord over Cmaj7. Em7 is the first superimposed chord of
maj? and the arpeggio shape is the same as the Dm7 you used before, but 2 frets higher.

arpeggio over G7b9), but I've labeled the Ddim7 and Bdim7 arpeggio shapes so you can see
how you can use any root note from Bdim7 to build other dim7 shapes on the fretboard
USING ARPEGGIOS OVER MINOR II V | PROGRESSSIONS
Now that you know how to relate a dim7 arpeggio to the V7b9 chord, let's have a look at
two fingerings for these arpeggios and how you can apply them to improvise over minor ii V
Is.
Avery cool fingering is the shared root fingering: because any note in a dim? arpeggio can
be considered the root, if you take a Bdim7 and start from the second note in that arpeggio
(D), you are now sharing a root note with the iim7bS chord
This means that you can now play iim7b5-iidim7 over the iim7b5-V7b9 section of the
progression, allowing you to solo over those changes without changing the root note or
moving your hand on the fretboard between chords.

SPICING IT UP - APPROACH NOTES
Arpeggios relate directly to the chord you're soloing over, but they can sound a bit plain, as
they offer nothing new to that chord. To help you avoid this in your solos, you'll have a look
at some common chromatic techniques over arpeggios.
The first arpeggio concept is called approach notes, where you
approach any note in an arpeggio by one fret below. When doing
hitpssiwwuazzqutar bebloglautar- arpeggios! aairt711122, 623 PM Jazz Guitar Arpeggios ~The Best Beginner's Guide
The only rule is that you can’t resolve to the chromatic notes. So, if you play an approach
note, you then have to play a chord tone afterward.
Here's an example of this technique in action, as you approach each note in an Am7
arpeggio from a fret below. The approach notes are in blue so you can easily see them on
the fretboard. After you've worked this exercise over Am7, take it to other keys and
arpeggio types in your solos:
