		One of the coolest things you can do on a seven strings guitar, is to play long three-octave arpeggios runs. Coupled with sweep picking, the effect is a never-ending cascade of notes, that surely will turn some heads! 



IMPORTANT



People that doesn't own a seven string guitar can also practice this lesson, simply playing a two octave shape arpeggio, starting from the fifth string, enjoy.





This lesson will improve: 

-------------------------



Sweep/economy picking 



Diatonic 7 arpeggio knowledge







Seven Strings Sweep Arpeggios - 100 bpm

---------------------------------------



The musical study, starts at the 5th fret seventh string with the E major 7 arpeggio and goes diatonic up to the 17th fret harmonizing all the E major scale with the following arpeggios:



E major 7 



F# minor 7



G# minor 7



A major 7



B dominant 7



C# minor 7



D# half-diminished (7)





Theory Focus

------------



Diatonic means that all the notes come from the scale, in this case E major, and harmonizing each degree, we have always the same kind of chords:



Imaj7 - IIm7 - IIIm7 - IVmaj7 - V7 - VIm7 - VIIm7/b5 (Half-diminished)





Techniques Focus

----------------



Sweep/economy Picking, involves a picking motion from the wrist, sliding on string in the same direction, without re-pick any notes.





Pro Tips

--------



You can use this shapes, on six strings guitar too, starting on the fifth string and playing only a two octave arpeggio.





Keep Practicing, see you next lesson.
