The Major Seventh Arpeggio Arpeggios are some of the best things that a Serious Guitarist can practice.
Arpeggios are the notes which make up a chord, played one at a time, more in the fashion of a scale.
They can be thought of as a cross between chords and scales, and for this reason, serve as one of the best devices for visualizing the connection between harmony and melody, or chords and scales. There are also some useful tips on chord substitution concepts, and a handy chart which shows how to plug certain arpeggios in against other chord types to create new sounds. This is how everything is presented in the book, because all examples are to be played in all keys. For example, to play a Bbmaj7 arpeggio using the pattern shown in the graph on the left side of the example, simply position it on the fingerboard so that the circle on the low E string falls on the sixth fret. The note on this fret is Bb, the arpeggio type is Maj7, therefore the result is a Bbmaj7 arpeggio.
