G Maj7 Arpeggio over E minor
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 гру 2014
- Using a Major 7 arpeggio 1.5 whole-steps above a Minor chord always works. Simple, and useful. I used a Marshall JVM410H and a compressor pedal, this one fairfieldcircuitry.com/collect...
I also added some reverb in Logic Pro.
The G major arpeggio specifically creates only the minor 3rd, 5th, minor 7th and 9th of the E natural minor scale.

The Maj7 over a minor is a really great sound, probably the video i keep coming back to the most.
Glad you like
Don't forget you can also play Bm7 and Dmaj7 over Em.
And Bm7, Dmaj7 and F#m7 over G.
And Bm7b5, Dm7 and Fmaj7 over G7.
There is a pattern to it.
Robert I enjoyed the video but I also appreciate the positive comments and questions with replies. I am saving this to watch again, in case I missed something. Beautiful playing. I get tired of all the ultra fast u-tube playing. To me melody just jumps away with shredding. Thanks for another great lesson. Robyn from Sydney
Great lesson Robert! I worked on finding how many places on the fretboard I could play your C major 7 arpeggios using a C major 7 backing track. I then realized I could add in A minor pentatonic riffs and mix the two over the backing track. Very melodic runs, riffs, chord tones. Got me out of a rut! 😎
Inte visste jag att du hör hemma hos oss från Norden. Jag har kollat dig ett tag nu. Thanks for your expertise, brother.
Why does this work?
Em is the 6th chord of the Gmaj scale
Here are the rest
Gmaj - Ionian - Root
Aminor - Dorian - 2nd chord
Bminor - Phrygian - 3rd chord
Cmaj - Lydian - 4th chord
Dmaj - myxolydian - 5th chord
Eminor - Aoelian - 6th chord
F#Diminshed - Locrian - 7th chord
What does this mean?
It means that you can play any of the chords above as arppegios over an Eminor chord because they are all part of the Gmaj scale of which Eminor is the 6th. Try it out.
This applies for any key
If Dmaj then Bminor is the 6th figure out the rest
If Emajor then C#minor is the 6th figure out the rest
I use the following to remember this rule: PmmPPmD.
That means plus, minus, minus, plus,plus,minus, dim where plus is a major chord and minus is a minor chord and dim is diminished.
From an interval aspect pmmppmd becomes root, whole(2nd), whole(3rd), half(4th), whole(5th) , whole(6th),whole(7th), half(root)
I hope this information was useful

True. but that doesnt explain anything. The reason it works is because the Gmaj7 shares common notes to Emin chord or scale.. namely G and B which are the 3rd and 5th intervals of Emin. Sharing the flatted third is important for it to sound related. Finnaly, the 5th interval of the Gmaj7 chord (D) creates a min7 voicing when played on the Emin which is pleasant to the ear and related. That is the mechanics of why it works.
Correct, but one slippery mistake, 7th chord of major scale is half diminished (1 - b3 - b5 - b7), not diminished (1 - b3 - b5 - bb7). That makes difference
Robert.. I really appreciate these tutorials very much .. I have been playing for 40 years and played in many rock bands .. I never really took ANY lessons to speak of.. i simply had trouble learning.. You are a very good teacher!! thanks a lot!
Thank you Greg!
Major 7s and 9s sound so pretty and mysterious.
Nice tutorial Robert. Much appreciated!
Peace.
You seriously do have the best lessons on the web. Very well explained and laid out, but more importantly, the content is actually interesting! It's like everyone else just teaches the same 3 things over and over. Thanks for these!
MrBingping Thanks so much!
can never get enough of this lesson, thank you very much Robert!
Great lesson ,nice lick examples, love those zexcoils, very punchy and even, and quite!
On this demonstration in particular, I really like the tones you get Robert. You're musical knowledge makes your lessons easy to understand. I think a crucial point of your teaching is the RELATIONSHIP of musical structures to each other, how they fit and integrate in a smooth and complimentary musical presentation. Thank You!
+stebly7 thanks very much.
Your lessons are so helpful. I've been stuck in a rut for ages now but these tutorials are helping me understand so much more. Thanks!!
David Lewis Glad to hear, thanks!
I personally love the way your guitars are always in perfect intonation. It's like Ear Candy.......
Wow this just turned the light on upstairs. Great stuff for my neo soul ideas.
Another very classy lesson built off a simple idea. Thank you.
My god. This melo is killing me. Love ya bro . Thanks for sharing this.
Robert, you are a very special person...genius guitarist! Love your work..stay blessed 🙏🏼
Thanks a lot my friend
Another fab lesson Robert, super sweet! I am so robbing this for my minor blues trick bag :)
Love it!…So sweet sounding.
Cool lesson as usual Robert! Thank You!
Great! Very nice & amazing song~!
You are really one of best guitar player & teacher I saw before.
+Chung Andre Thanks a lot!
Robert Renman . Por favor ponle subtítulos en español, muy buena lección.
Forgot to say, the best Guitar Instructor ever!!!
Great tone, great explanation, excellent lesson!
Thank you!
Yea I love the way u slow it down and explain it thanks
Nice Sound. I use a CMaj7 Arpeggio over E minor & a G7Maj7 over a B Minor Chord. I also like to use a C Phrygian & Mixolydian over E Minor, Also Reference E Natural Minor, Harmonic & Melodic Minor Scales depending on my Mood at the Time. I like your sound and will add that to my List. Thank you Robert.
such a good teacher........if you were in the UK I would be coming to you for private lessons every week
Jebus! I love that Robert. I do wish you'd diagram the notes of the basic riffs you play with the arpeggio though. You tend to drift off into adding other notes and I start getting lost. Thanks, brother.
Very inspiring lesson.Thank you!
Thx Robert. You are basically playing relative minor..or relative major..That’s why the combination works..
Thank you, Robert. Appreciate your lessons. Great help.
Dave Shephard Glad you liked it.
Very practical and useful idea.
it works simply because the relative
major key of E minor is G major.
Relative minor = 6th note of the major scale
Relative major = 3rd note of the minor scale
Learnt so much from this thanks Robert
Very good lesson. Thank you!
Thank you Robert, that is genius!
Used on the opening saxophone melody from Turn The Page by Bob Seger (with an added 9th to the GMaj 7 arpeggio)
You are such an inspiring teacher, Robert.
BTW, you make that Fender sing beautifully...

Hello Great video. What amp are you using ?
THX A LOT
changxxx Glad you liked the lesson.
I now have my signature lick thanks Robert. It’s going to be on everything 🙄
Sounds good!
So it also seems ok to use C maj arpeggio in the same sequence Robert? Lovely clear lesson which helps a lot. Thank you
Rob
robert ripley Yep, that is correct.
hi Robert very nice tone, liked the lesson as well. what pickups are you using?
I use Zexcoil pickups.
is it possible to play over A minor?
Relative Major minor ?
สุดยอด
Hi Robert What is Your Amplifier exactly ? I already bought the Compressor from your other video and just wondering about your Amp Thanks a lot for your videos.
I have a few... lately, I've been using this one amzn.to/1v3TfdF - a Marshall amp. It can do all sorts of nice tones. How do you like that compressor? I love it.
yes..............
Hi Robert how do you get that smooth lead tone/sound?
Marshall JVM410H and a compressor pedal, this one fairfieldcircuitry.com/collections/effect-pedals/products/the-accountant
I also added some reverb in Logic Pro.
Emin7#9
Gmaj7 arpeggio would indicate Em7......... using an Em7 played at the 7th fret has a very nice sound when using this arpeggio........but using the Em7 open position would have a a more harsh sound.....great video
me gusta tus tutoriales pero tienes que pones mas tablatur
a !!!!
Robert I saw another video which said you could play a B chord over E minor as well. Is this true?
Yes I have a video on that too -
ua-cam.com/video/D90dMyHYdcc/v-deo.html
So I assume this works for any relative major/minor.
Dave Shephard Sure does - this relationship is the same for any of the 12 keys.
In l of the lession he plays a De Angelo....georgious... Kookie Jeanne
wow
it's cool to play ionian arpeggio over an aeolian chord
Lauvhiah cool analysis!
Does anyone find out Radiohead's ,,I might be wrong" on that sequence? I'll try to blues this notes over that song, just to see what happens... :D
I think G maj7 arppeggio over E minor chord is just like playing the E aoelian mode... or the natural minor scale.. am I right?
Spharow Zenuieh In one way, yes, because G major scale and E natural minor has the same notes. But the G major arpeggio specifically creates only the minor 3rd, 5th, minor 7th and 9th of the E natural minor scale.
yah.. I see the essence of this... it serves as constraint upon specific tone or melody.. only the minor 6th hasn't been played. Thanks for the clarification Robert Renman.. I'm looking forward for more knowledge gain from you. Thank you Sir.
Göteborg rapé snus 4ever
i think jhon mayer use this
very beautiful sound when you are playing ...Are you using pedal board ? it is so groovy ,like as if you are singing.. Thumps Up !!!
caloy sanchez I am using a compressor (fairfieldcircuitry.com/products/the-accountant) and a Marshall JVM 410H. Then I added some reverb later.
