What would be the 'correct' (i.e. how a classically trained guitarist would do it) way to finger this passage? I'm experimenting with a few ways but I'd imagine the correct way would be to emulate a single position?

 

 

 

yes i'm very interested to know that as well!

Is there a sound clip of this I can have a listen to? The things I like about it, is its so much easier than the arpegeos I normally see..

You got me confused for a moment, Oscar.


You mean GM7 = Gmaj7.


Right?


The way you wrote it made me think you where doing a Gminor7 arpeggio.

 

 

Good that answers my question. I thought he meant mionor too. I was about to ask why you had an Am as the ll, wouldn't the 1 have to be a major chord?

 

But the world once again makes sense to me.

Hi,

Would you please let me know what arpeggios we are working with here. After the Am, I'm not sure what we're doing. Thanks.

I originally posted the rambling arp under the CarvinRock moniker. (Lost the password)

 

 

Anyway, I tried to answer fingering questions and the names of the scales. I believe the names are correct, but I am not sure the fingering is "technically" correct. The fingering indications are representative of how I play the scales. Others may have better suggestions/styles.

Man, I'm so psyched!!!

 

I sat down at work and figured this thing out, and came up with the exact same arpeggios the other guy did....so I know I'm on the right track.

 

What I want to know is.....how do these different arpeggios "fit" scale-wise with each other???

 

anyone???

butch has got it. its pretty simple in the diatonic format (not that i am saying that ripping out malm or vai is easy). but i'm a jazzer guys, probably one of the only ones here, and if your interested in getting into jazz the arppegios are a must!!!! most non-diatonic substitution from those like Wes Montgomery, Coltrane, Grant Green, Charlie Parker, are heavily phrased in arppegios. arrpeggios will enable you to understand the construct and rotation of inversions like "drop 2s" as well. which is great for "block chording" w/melody lines.

Does anyone here know how to play the actually song Arpeggios from Hell by Yngwie Malmsteen?

 

he's right man, tom delonge, billy joe armstrong, kurt cobain, arent that great at guitar. Good song writers, especially Kurt, but not that great of riffs.

Anyone have any other stuff similar to this? I really like it, I've been working on it as part of my daily (If I get to play everyday :D) jammin'. Anybody?

Thanks a bunch bro!! I learned that and then practiced through it for an hour. Then I went to run some scales for good measure and I blew through them faster than ever! What a great site this is.

I was gonna say the same thing. Although, you have to respect Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day). His music may be simple... but he has style!

Somin I just worked up..

It utilizes two popular (forms) ways to play a three string diminished arpeggio in an ascending format. I'm working on a good way to come down (descending)

I think that in the context of the this thread, the Am chord is not serving a subdominant function. Esp. in the case of Santana, it would be modal harmony, not funtional harmony, so the raised 6th scale degree in minor serves to give the charateristic modal coloring of Dorian. Even if the 6th was flatted, it would still probably sound modal in the context that the original poster intended.

 

In jazz, it is common knowledge that a raised 6th scale degree is most commonly used over most minor chords. I see your point about the using the 6th "gives away" the leading tone of the dominant before it appears, but I think many jazz musicians think in terms of dominant-tonic, not subdominant-dominant-tonic. This is not to say that this always occurs, but I think it is worthwhile to point out that using natural 6th on minor is very common in American music.

This thread is extremely weak. It has one example of playing a 7th flavored arpeggio and then a transcription of the ever common "Crossroads" section. I expected to see some crazy arpeggio sequences and theory. This does not deserve to be a sticky! :mad:

I put this on another thread, but this is the recurring arpeggio break I play in one of my instrumental pieces.
