hi all.i just wondered are there any kind of rules about chord arpeggios? i just got a bit tired of strumming chords so i've picked out a few chords in each key,a picking pattern and started to practice arpeggio progressions.just wanted to make sure i wasn't making any mistakes
I play chord arpeggios all the time. Sometimes I play in a pattern (like on Kirks fire and rain). Or sometimes I just pick away in any old order I like .
I reckon if it sounds good it is good.
Arpeggios are a great thing to practice ... especially when you're not just holding down the chord and picking individual notes from it. It's much better when you play those notes as single notes, the way you would play a riff or solo or scale.
Download the PDF of the 'Guitar Chord Slide Rule', print it out, fold it together and you'll have at your disposal a very neat tool that will not only show you all the positions for the main flavors of chords, but will also teach you a very important lesson about how the guitar works... It consists of a folded sleeve and six double sided inserts, instructions for cutting it out and folding it together are included with the PDF ... it's very simple to do, and if you botch it, you can simply print it out again!
