Hi mate! Great to see you working on these topics. It's also cool to know that you are not only practicing the techniques and shapes, you are also getting into the notes and theory behind them.
The diminished arpeggio comes from Hamonic minor or Melodic minor scales and are usually played over the V grade of a minor scale, it this grade (chord) is played Major or Dominant. Let's supose that your are playing in A minor, and the chord E (or E7) sound in the progression. That's when the diminished arpeggio will shine. In other words, this arpeggio sounds great everytime you have the V7 of any minor chord. Also if someone would say "play a Amajor arpeggio is it always implied to play the 7th with it. or would most people say play a Amajor7th arpeggio? A major arpeggio would refer to the triad (Root - 3 - 5). In most cases when saying Major arpeggio, you can also consider the addition of the major 7th, since when referring to the minor 7th version, we would say "A dominant arpeggio". -------------------- My lessons

I think I may have learned the minor scale incorrectly at some point, not the scale itself I mean, but the chords in the minor key. I always thought the 5 chord in the minor key is v and the 5 chord in the major key is V7. so I have just been shown by you if I am in the key of A minor, the 5 chord is E7, not Em. and if im in the key of A major the 5 chord is also E7? Most of the time when we play in minor, especially rock and pop, we 'borrow' the V chord from the major key i.e., in Am we'll usually use E or E7 for the V chord instead of Em. *I make a point to say usually. A lot of blues, soul and reggae will use that minor v chord. The existence of both the melodic and harmonic minor scales is predicated on our ears wanting to hear a strong (read major or dominant) V chord resolving to i. We like that 'leading tone' - G# to A. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine
