Lead Guitar Lesson - Maj Arpeggio Exercise, and a Soloing Secret!

Hello friends,

I'm so happy to be back up and rolling again! This week I've been building my chops up with a powerful arpeggio exercise. In this lesson we will learn a somewhat unorthodox position of our major scale in A, before learning to reduce that scale down to an impressive arpeggio run. Scale and arpeggios don't make great lead players, so I'll be sharing with you a very nice, Django Reinhardt inspired lick. Let's get started

Lead Guitar Lesson - Maj Arpeggio Exercise, and a Soloing Secret!

Comments

In an arpeggio, you always find the notes that are present in a chord. In this case, it's a major arpeggio, so it is made from the 1st, 3rd, and 5th notes of the scale. If you were to add another note, like the 7th, that would create an Amaj7 arpeggio. You easily turn this minor by flating the thirds, turning all the C# notes into C's.

Thanks for the fix. Can you address if there is a formula for what notes to play for an arpeggio?

Hey Anne-Marie, thanks for letting me know. All fixed!

Nice lesson but the tab is for the finger style lesson not the arpeggio.
