GMC Forum _ PRACTICE ROOM _ Arpeggio!

Posted by: Jesse Sep 15 2008, 08:08 AM

I love playing arpeggio's sounds so classical:D If I played it 10 times faster id be a neo-classical shredder. But what does arpeggio actually mean? I bet its Italian. Does anyone have some classical arpeggio tabs? I like em!

it's just a chord being played note by note.

An arpeggio is simply the notes of a chord played in sequence If your not playing them in sequence its not an arpeggio.

My personal favorite is an A Major 11th arpeggio I enjoy playing classical music on my electric because of all those tasty arpeggios they used to use

I prefer to alternate pick arpeggios than sweep them, because you can accent the notes! see this good wiki article on arpeggios for more details on the theory

Great answer mattacuk,I just want to say a bout the Italian language in music.They say that Italian is the language of the music.This is a great link,I try to learn as much as I can every day.

Arpeggio is a broken up chord.Basically you play chord tones in a sequence starting from root.

An Arpeggio is a liquid chord (played in a melodic way) a chord is a frozen arpeggio (played in an harmonic way)...ok Nema if you want to learn more I will write in italian...
Un arpeggio è un accordo suonato in modo melodico, un accordo è un arpeggio suonato in modo armonico!

I heard Arpeggio was a good side dish for Chicken Alfredo, don't forgot a nice white wine too.

But seriously lol, i think the others covered it pretty much.

That's it exactly, a chord played one note at a time:)
