Members Brewski Posted February 11, 2006 Members Share Posted February 11, 2006 Holy Crap - I've been dicking around in the electric guitar forum wasting time yacking about equipment and I could have been here actually learning something I can apply. Boy do I feel like an ass!! This is the best explanation of Arpeggios I;ve ever heard and I'm running downstairs to try these out right now!! Thanks Again Harmony Central for reminding me how ignorant I am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chronowarp Posted April 25, 2006 Members Share Posted April 25, 2006 Originally posted by Jimmy James You're playing each individual note without the other notes ringing with it. If it rings it's a chord. If they sound separately, it's an arpeggio. Same notes but it's how you play them. You wouldn't fret them like a chord. Just do it and experiment. You'll find the easiest way to finger it. Everybody is different. Thats not completely true. To arpeggiate simply means to seperate the chord tones. They can ring, but when they ring all at once, or harmonically, then it is a chord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Yngwieclone Posted May 17, 2006 Members Share Posted May 17, 2006 Speaking of arpeggios... the most important thing I ever learned musically was from Yngwie Malmsteen's Liar of of Trilogy. Most every Yngwie tune has a short musical interlude of Baroque nature just before the solo. It is this arpeggio "Etude" if you will, that taught me an awful lot. Not technique, mind you, but of music theory! I forget right now what key it is in as I have not been an Yngwie clone in years:) but remember it being in a minor tonality. When I learned the pice, I brought it to the attention of my instructor because there were arpeggios that just were not supposed to be in this key! But it sounded great and twisted the ear a tad. He explained to me that it wasn't based soley on a Minor chord scale, but he took the Aeolian mode and made a chord scale from that, then did the same for the Dorian mode, and then the Phrygian mode. Compared the similar "chords" of the 3 minor mode "chord scales" and noticed the chords that differed between the them. This opens up a new world musically and doesn't limit you just to the typical Minor key which is based off of Aeolian. Sorry that my musical prowness is not sharp as i am mostly self taught and can read Chineese faster than I can read music... but for example... hamonize a chord scal from A aeolian. Then do the same for A dorian, then A phrygian. Compare what you have and run with it! You can make some really haunting movements especially using adjacent major arpeggios where they normally wouldn't be in typical A minor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fastsix Posted June 2, 2006 Members Share Posted June 2, 2006 Originally posted by NYC-Rider 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NITEFLY182 Posted September 25, 2006 Members Share Posted September 25, 2006 Originally posted by typedeaF 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! +1. Maybe its just me but I never think people's "crazy" arps are crazy at all, theyre pretty tame. Also, if hes playing two notes per string how is it even an arpeggio, its a scale. Regardless, here is a crazy arpeggio:----------------10------------------------------------13-----13-------------------------------10-------------10-----------------------14---------------------14----------------12----------------------------12-------------------------------------------------------------------------14-----------------------------------------17-----15------------------------------------16-------------14---------------------------14---------------------15--------------------15-----------------------------17--------------------------------------------------------------Now those are crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Snowcow Posted October 6, 2006 Members Share Posted October 6, 2006 Originally posted by NITEFLY182 Also, if hes playing two notes per string how is it even an arpeggio, its a scale. Well, no, you seem a little confused... An arpeggio can be played on just one string if wanted: it does not necessarily need to be spread across several strings; you can play 3 notes on one string, two on the next, one on the next, you can skip strings, go backwards etc. It has nothing to do with the strings you use, it is all about the notes. And, a scale is the same: it can be played one note per string, 3 notes per string, all on one string, strings can be skipped, etc. It's the notes that are important, not where they are played.

Members I_cant_play Posted May 19, 2007 Members Share Posted May 19, 2007 I'm a little confused about the theory behind the original post. Are you saying you got the GM7 from the Am chord scale? If this is so, when I try to do that I end up with an F as the 7th note, not the F#. What am I doing wrong here? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TheAmazingBlob Posted June 7, 2007 Members Share Posted June 7, 2007 bar 15th fret with index.Ditto. Then either ring or middle for the 18th and 17th frets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TTCZ06 Posted June 7, 2007 Members Share Posted June 7, 2007 thanks , and when sweeping down I should release pressure on the strings I just passed with my right hand by lifting up my finger but keeping the top of it on the last string? mmmm this is gonna take some practice but I'll work on it .
