Arpeggios

[jumpinjeff]

Are you looking for right hand work or right and left? There are so many types of arpeggios and they are woven in and out of the daily challenges. If you narrow it down I might be able to help you get to what you want. I don’t think there are any dedicated scale lessons solely playing arpeggiated scales if that is what you are looking for.

@kurtv and @jumpinjeff , I am surprised that Tony doesn’t have a search in the challenges. Sorry @kurtv, i am no help in this venture.

Tony thoughtfully puts together lesson sequences that target different skills and techniques. From what I have seen and experience it leads to overall well rounded player. It is meant to take the self teaching aspect out of the equation. I pay to be taught. If I were going to teach myself I probably wouldn’t be on TAC. That is the foundational part of it. Out side of that I do a considerable amount of self learning but the ease at which I can participate and benefit from this structured program is my back stop and home base and my insurance policy. Anything after that is gravy. It wasn’t until I had familiarized myself with fundamentals and basic theory learned here that I was able to have some success at self learning.

Hello @kurtv ;

“Arpeggios” is one of those misleading terms. All it means is the notes are separated in stead of strummed. If you pick the strings individually, that would be an “arpeggio”, yet it is nothing, obviously.

So, you want to practice, well Tony gives us “arpeggios” every Monday in our warm up.

Now, more often than not, when someone says an “arpeggio” (as opposed to an arpeggiated chord, or scale, or melody, something specific), they are talking about a chord being played one note at a time, that is, “arpeggiated”.

Does Tony have a specific video teaching us to play the different chords arpeggiated? No. In fact, I’ve never run across one. You can fret “cowboy” chords, or open chords, and pick the strings individually and you will have an “arpeggio”.

So, from that point of view does Tony have a specific video teaching the different chord shapes? Yes, every Friday. Just pick the strings instead of strumming them and you have “arpeggios”.

I hope this helps.
