Members darial Posted December 8, 2002 Members Share Posted December 8, 2002 I've decided that I want to put in some practice on arpeggio ideas - I know how to find them and play them and all that, but I've never incorperated them into my playing in any serious way. So can you all suggest some tunes or lessons that focus on applying them? Preferably not in a high speed metal context - I'll look at that later.

Members evan_02 Posted December 8, 2002 Members Share Posted December 8, 2002 arpeggios are a nice way to avoid that linear bull{censored} that so many guitarists play. listen to sax players, they use them all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any scale generates arpeggios, if you play every other note in any scale that's an arp. I you have a situation were a dorian scale (mode) is beingapplied you have 7 triad arps to start with since you have seven notes in that scale. Add to those amajor or dominant seventh and you've got 14 arps.Then you can splice two arps together in differentways, say the A minor seventh and the B minor seventh arp...I have some recent threads here somewhere aboutarps. Clips and tab and words. Check em out. Btw, sax players and others plays more arpsthan guitarists (or at least differently) becausethey - the arps - are more accessible on thoseinstruments. Arps are relatively difficult to playon guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WattsUrizen Posted December 9, 2002 Members Share Posted December 9, 2002 Arpeggios have become the foundation of my soloing technique. Ever since I got my sweep picking going smoothly, I run up and down the fretboard arpeggiating all sorts of chords, not just triads, but dominant sevenths, stacked tritones, diminished chords, those funny altered jazz chords, and whatever you like. My advice is firstly to strum a chord progression, and then you can use this to create single note arpeggios, with extra little licks thrown in between for variety and character.

Members mukuzi Posted December 9, 2002 Members Share Posted December 9, 2002 it gives the lisener a sense of "jazz" i am lisening to jazz as the players are spewing arps at me at a very fast rate are they practising at the gig? i am a little over this sound as a lot of players rely on getting thru hundreds of arps in a few choruses and its boring ! thinking ahead plotting all the patterns, has jazz become a contact sport, like slap bass in the 80`s massive amounts of swept arps will suround us and ultimatly... i will screem... man allthat sweeping is making me hurt:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's what students do. I agree with youit can sound mechanical and boring. Jazz turned into a sport. Isn't that called fusion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
