How to-practice-arpeggios-tutorial
- 1. How to practice arpeggios tutorial As stated within my video tutorial, use the continuous arpeggio exercises with tunes like Autumn Leaves, The Days of Wine and Roses, All the Things You are and Stella by Starlight. I guarantee if you add these exercises into your daily practice routine it WILL transform your understanding of the fretboard. Take you time, as this stuff is tough when you first look into it. Before you start tackling full tunes, try just doing some common chord progressions. Ive written some examples just to get you started. Note: Theyre all written within the first five frets; its up to you to learn the other positions. II V I (Cmajor) Ex1. This example is a chord per par using eighth notes.
- 2. Ex2. This next example is a chord per bar using quarter notes. Ex3. This example is the first 6 bars of a jazz blues in the key of C.
