Members wetdog666 Posted May 10, 2009 Members Posted May 10, 2009 whats a good book on arpeggios or cd , dvd what do you guy recommend
Members Kuroyume Posted May 10, 2009 Members Posted May 10, 2009 Will Landrum has a decent downloadable video course on arpeggios (two parts). It may not be the only source you should ever use but it is a very good place to start. Don't mind the 'sell, sell, sell' look of the website. He actually does a decent job of teaching. "Speed Mechanics for Lead Guitar" and "Metal Lead Guitar - Volume Two" by Troy Stetina have sections on sweeping arpeggios.
Members gennation Posted May 10, 2009 Members Posted May 10, 2009 The one I got in the 70's was Artful Arpeggio's. Also Ted Greene Chord Chemistry will teach to the art of the chord and so many combinations of the same chord all over the fretboard that arpeggiating becomes second natural. You might want to clarify though... are you really talking about arpeggio's or more like sweep picking? Remember arpeggio's is a musical term and sweep picking is a technique.
Members Kuroyume Posted May 10, 2009 Members Posted May 10, 2009 Remember arpeggio's is a musical term and sweep picking is a technique. So true. You can even sweep pick scales or just 'pick' arpeggios (e.g.: D'yer Mak'er).
Members pbone Posted May 10, 2009 Members Posted May 10, 2009 Mimi Fox : Guitar Arpeggio Studies over Jazz Standards I think that's the name, but I forget.
Members Brett0301 Posted May 20, 2009 Members Posted May 20, 2009 I highly recommend a book called "Chords, Scales, and Arpeggios for the Guitarist" by Al Politano. It covers the whole nine yards in terms of different patterns. I find it to be a very essential book for jazz guitarists, and its under 10 bucks.
Members chevybusa Posted May 24, 2009 Members Posted May 24, 2009 Al DiMeola's "Guide to Scales Chords Arpeggios" Absolutely AMAZING book
Members ripit007 Posted May 26, 2009 Members Posted May 26, 2009 Melodic Arpeggios For Lead Guitar Mark Galbo http://www.music44.com/X/product/AM974237-U Excellent book. Really improves your improvization and phrasing techniques. A Must have!
Members tronus Posted May 30, 2009 Members Posted May 30, 2009 Mimi Fox : Guitar Arpeggio Studies over Jazz StandardsI think that's the name, but I forget. This is what I was going to recommend. I've been working through it lately. So far its been pretty insightful. Instead a big book of patterns/recipes, it breaks it down into excersises. I've been noticing little things like landing on the 5th will make things want to stick around for another measure, or the 3rd wants to change. Its a neat book! I'm not to the first standard yet though. Still drilling the inversions of the 7th, minor 7th, and Maj 7th into my head before I move on.
Members meganutt7 Posted June 2, 2009 Members Posted June 2, 2009 The problem with alot of these books is that it shows you fingerings for arpeggios, but very limited applications.. The Mimi Fox book is best of all these guitar books, in that regard.... However, if you want to learn to apply these arpeggios in a musical way that is more sophisticated, you may want to buy one of these books.... The Jazz Theory Book by Mark LevineHowTo Improvise by Hal CrookA Chromatic Approach to Jazz Harmony & Melody by David Liebman These are three amazing books that will open your mind to MANY varied concepts... arpeggios being only one of them!!
Members ripit007 Posted June 15, 2009 Members Posted June 15, 2009 Playing phrases through the use of arpeggios brings out the tonality of the underlying chord progression (we're not talking "sweep arpeggios" here). The Mark Galbo book presents a very useful approach to using arpeggios. He reviews a particular arp pattern (Am for example) and allows one to practice with a jam track. Then he presents its corresponding mode (Dorian) with jam track, then he presents its corresponding blues scale pattern with jam track which helps a student learn not only the fingering, but also how to flow from arpeggio to modal to blues patterns, opening up doors to more creative phrasing and improv skills, up and down the neck. Highly recommended for any student of the guitar. It certainly has improved my playing by leaps and bounds. :thu:
Members tronus Posted July 1, 2009 Members Posted July 1, 2009 Chord Chemistry FTW. Also recieved. Thanks also! Gotta love impulse buys. My library continues to grow. I don't want to stray from my current Mimi Fox book, Guitar Arpeggios on Jazz Standards, so I'm continuing on with that. Although I took both new books to work and read through them a couple times and I can't wait to dig in. I have pulled some concepts out of the chord chemistry book though. It's set up to digest small chunks at a time any way.
Members girevik Posted July 2, 2009 Members Posted July 2, 2009 Bach pieces are pretty good for arpeggio practice. Look what it did for Chris Thile: [YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE]
