Description: Get my print-friendly PDF for this lesson, with fretboard diagrams & tabs, at playsongnotes.com/lessons/390 Hey friends! Today I dive into the world of arpeggios, and want to show you a series of riffs & licks all created using a single major 7th (maj7) arpeggio shape. I'll be bouncing between two chords (Amaj7 and Dmaj7) -- backing track included -- and I'll show you how you any riff you create can be "moved" to work with either of the two chords. I'll lead by example, showing 11 different riffs (with tabs for their corresponding Amaj7 and Dmaj7 versions) -- and walk you through each one.

While I'll save my own "introduction to arpeggios" video for another day, I do include a recap at the start of this lesson where I catch you up on the major scale and what defines an arpeggio. As stated previously, I've made a backing track to accompany this lesson. It's just Amaj7 and Dmaj7, four measures of each, repeating back and forth. It'll let you practice all the riffs I show, in a very slow stress way (the chord changes are spaced out & not too hectic). You can listen to the track here: playsongnotes.com/lessons/390 Enjoy!
