Arpeggios are formed when you play the notes of a chord one-by-one. Lets face it. Arpeggios sound cool. When you play them slow, they sound great. Rifle them off, and they sound amazing. In this report you will discover 47 killer arpeggios that you must know. Some of these arpeggios are easy to play, while others are quite tricky. Most of these arpeggios require a bit of stretching, while others require some very serious stretching. The best way to learn these arpeggios, is to pick one or two arpeggios to start with and practice them for a week. The following week, add an additional one or two arpeggio(s). As you add these additional arpeggios keep practicing the ones from the previous week. Repeat this process. 47 Killer Arpeggios Every Guitarist Must Know 2005 Don J.

What follows is a quick overview of the notation you will encounter in this book. Neck Diagrams/Grids The following fretboard diagrams represent isolated sections on the neck of the guitar. The vertical lines represent the strings, while the horizontal lines represent the frets. The strings are numbered from the thinnest (1), to the thickest (6). To save space, only the applicable portion of the neck will be shown for each arpeggio. So, instead of showing all of the frets on the guitar, we will just show a representation of the portion of the neck we need. Neck diagrams or grids are the main form of notation used in this book. This form of notation will enable you to “see” the arpeggio patterns. 1 2 345 STRINGS 6F R E T S Frets 6 5 4 3 2 1 47 Killer Arpeggios Every Guitarist Must Know 2005 Don J.
