      Using arpeggios while improvising is a great way to sound interesting and melodic. This lesson should inspire you to come up with your own arpeggio lines.

    In today's lesson we'll talk about arpeggios. First of all, what is an arpeggio? An arpeggio is a chord that is broken into individual notes. As you know, chords come from scales.

    Today we'll work in the key of A minor. We'll build 4 note arpeggios using the Root, 3rd, 5th and 7th of that scale. We'll also expand that process by building 4 note arpeggio from each of the 7 notes of the A minor scale as follow:

    A C E G
    B D F A
    C E G B
    D F A C
    E G A D
    F A C E
    G B D F

    This gives us different types of arpeggios that we'll be able to use in our improvisation. Memorize the suggested fingering, then try to make your own.

    Have fun!
