In this short electric guitar lesson, composer, educator and Elixir Strings artist Matt Wong demonstrates the basics of how to work on arpeggio patterns. Taking the Cmaj7 chord and showing you how to practice arpeggios using repeating two bar rhythmic patterns all over the neck, Matt’s method is great for really getting the concept ingrained in your playing and under your fingers. Taking the basic approach and applying it to other maj7 chords and then different chord types will really start to open the fretboard up and unlock your soloing potential!

Arpeggios aren’t just for sweep-picking metal players - they’re simply the notes of a chord played individually, and are useful in all kinds of musical settings. Incorporating arpeggios into your solos is a good way of adding interest and outlining chord progressions - essential in jazz and a sophisticated approach for pop, rock and more.
