Jaw droped how simple and elegant your explanetion is. Without knowing all this years I have been using few of this shapes without understanding what I was doing but now thanks to your video it's like a blanket was taken off my eyes. Thank you !
You are a great teacher your graphics are beautiful and easy to read I have learned so much from watching your program I have seen thousands of videos yours is number one
I would combine the triad shapes with the perspective that extended chords (like 7s) are adding thirds above the base triad. Example: a major triad (C E G) has a major third (C E) below a minor third (E G). Cmaj7 (C E G B) adds a major third on top (G B). Changing the higher interval to a minor third (C E G Bb) would create a dominant chord C7. So I'm combining intervals to create a huge variety of chords. For the arpeggios in this video there are only two intervals: major and minor thirds. Memorize finding M3 or m3 on the same string or adjacent string. Mix and match for major, minor, diminished, augmented, 7ths, 9ths, 11ths, or 13ths.
Yes that's a good idea of course. I did this those things in separate videos: Building Chords part 1: ua-cam.com/video/ALqBpTJrCsQ/v-deo.html Building Chords part 2: ua-cam.com/video/Uqbl-L3ydXA/v-deo.html Modal Arpeggios Part 1: ua-cam.com/video/4pbnBtkkwrU/v-deo.html Modal Arpeggios Part 2: ua-cam.com/video/Ze1Bz8wmaVM/v-deo.html
I like how by starting on the 7th note (for the arpeggio progression) rather than starting on the root you made a two-string repeatable pattern which requires less of a stretch between fingers. If you start the two-string arpeggio pattern on the root instead, then for some of these arpeggio shapes yo have to span 5 frets which is a bit of a stretch particularly if you're on the low frets. Great idea!
Love theses ! I figured out how to play the minor and major arpegios this same way, with repeating patterns ! The good stuff with these patterns is they are still applicable on 8 string guitars ! Thank you so much for extending to 7ths chords !
I can’t express my gratitude enough for your excellent skills in patient, simple tutorials and FANTASTIC GRAPHIC ARTS! Other tutorials have offered the same truths yet you took the time to make a visual aide. I am a visual learner so I can take a snap shot of your visuals and store them for a refresher when I need a reminder. I am 67 years old and only in the last two months have I learned to play the guitar to a level that pleases my ear and heart. I have been trying since age 15! Yet you are the only one that has helped me sound better than an 8 year old. Thanks again for taking the time to “teach an old dog new tricks”.
This is very clear teaching, thank you. But... what you've shown us is not one shape for all guitar arpeggios, but five shapes for just the 7th chords. The only magic here is the cheek that you show with your video title!
At 7:40 the diagrams of Cm7b5 and Cdim7 are switched mistakenly.

"And yes you should learn them at some point of your......... Life." Just in time to stop my brain from short circuiting thinking about minor 7th flat 5 chords and diminished arpeggios! Whew!
Found an error in his chart patterns at approximately 7:31 in this video... the chart patterns for the Cm7b5 & Cdim7 should be swapped for each other... hope this makes sense the way I explained it...simple error...but I noticed it right away...just look back a few seconds before 7:31 and you will see! Just trying to help...someone may have already commented, I did no search the comments... thanks...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that at 7:46 the graphic showing Cm7b5 and Cdim7 has the two reversed. I did not read all the earlier comments, so maybe this has already been pointed out.
This tutorial is very good but it's missing visual I'm wondering why you didn't show real guitar and play those notes. It's now Mistry just diagrams and voice not good like I expected you play those notes.
I like the explanation of the different kinds of 4 note arpeggios. But, playing a shape across two strings is difficult because of the stretch. IMHO, the 4 note shapes are just as easy to remember if played across 3 strings, and the stretch is much less. Using the shape given In the video, that would put with the 5th as the only note on the 3rd, or highest string. Also, within 12 frets, the root occurs 5 times, not 3. I realize this is a starting point for many guitar players, but playing an arpeggio from the same starting note as the lowest tone, like the 7th, is pretty limiting. All that said, I’ve found the best exercise is to learn first 7R35, then learn each inversion, e.g. R357, 357R, 57R3
You got a point there. But it's just (like you said) a starting point. A easy way to start of with 7 arpeggios for quick runs. It's just part of all the other (and in many cases better) ways to play arpeggios.
It should be useful also to see the “shape” 3578, so for example, taking into account CM7, instead of BCEG (7835) memorize the schema EGBC on each 2 set of strings. The only drawback I found in such type of chord shapes is that it’s really hard to articulate the jump from one set of 2 strings to another as long as the metronome goes up with the speed 😅.
Hi Thanks for all the tutoriels. Cristal clean, understandable ans very well made. Theory is greatly explained ans the illustrations are just what is needed. Great thanks for the job, hope everyone will benefit of it.
Thanks a lot man - woah. I been trying to memorize all the major arpeggios by memory. In the major key. Your ascending pattern made it all click. easy mode
I am not sure which direction to go in. I feel like I should learn chords but to play what ? I know the major and minor arpeggios and I’m getting them under my fingers up and down the neck. This memorization I feel has to be total. The chord charts are massive as you know and I confess I don’t even like jazz or want to play it. My fingerpicking is fairly strong. Your videos are next level lol. The difference is quite obvious, I’m glad the algorithm finally brought you to my feed . I’m scanning your library today . Thank you.
Thank you Rob ! Been watching and re-watching your Dreamy Lydian, Pentatonic Q n E and your Superimposing vids .. PLUS writint notes ! Your videos are sooo good. You should do a quick vid on your studio and gear ! I’m sure lots would love to see it/them. Thx again Rob !
It's really nothing more or less than any other arpeggio. So you would use it in a song, like you would use any other arpeggio. It's up to you to compose lines with these shapes. Just improvise a bit and you'll get the feeling of the shape. Play the right arpeggio over the right chord of course. I hop this helps.
Hi Daniel. The fingering for starting on the 5th string is a little less convenient. Best thing to project the same principle pointed out in the video on the 5th string root notes. It's still easy to work with, although starting on the 6th string makes it easier...
This arpeggio has not much to do with a pentatonic scale. The order I would suggest: pentatonic scale improvisation > diatonic scale improvisation > arpeggios
Many thanks, very helpfull indeed but there is one thing I have noticed. I think the diagrams of the half diminished and diminished are switched. Am I correct?
Thx for this trick which can be generalized to any kind of 2-strings progression, in my opinion. For information, in your last figure from 7:31 onwards, it appears that you swapped Cm7b5 and Cdim7.
Hi Rob, may I know what softwares did you use to create this video? Reason for asking is I have been using hard paper drawing of theory to explain to my 10yo and 12yo kids and it's so difficult to repeat and messy as well. Pls help..Many thanks.
Hi Lawrence. I use a combination of Adobe illustrator and Adobe Premiere and sometimes Adobe Photoshop. So it's not dedicated software like Publisher, but a lot of handwork I'm afraid...
Now this I can remember. Memorizing all the other positions of all arpeggios is daunting to say the least
You got this 😊
Why was I missing this content? You teach in ways that can be applied immediately. You make theory make sense, thank you so much!
The flow of the video, speaking, and musical examples is unmatched in quality and ease of following along
Thank you Randy for your nice comment :)
Indeed. And the Dutch accent adds the cherry on top.
Jaw droped how simple and elegant your explanetion is.

Thanks for your comment!
Great
Man this changed my life and made all the arpeggios chaos looks simple and finally knows every single arpeggio thank you so much 🥰 🙏 🙌 ❤
Awesome! Best explanation on internet! Keep it up!

Thank you. This makes more sense to me than anything I've heard on he subject.
Great video, as always :)
Fantastic!
Thanks man!
Excellent lesson! Paul Davids?
Thanks for share...blessings...keep on
Knowing the 3, 5, and 7 interval positions in relation to the tonic is very helpful.
Indeed MellowJim!
Great Lesson!
Thanks Kytronn! Glad you like it.

:) Don't go too hard on him though. Thanks for the comment Shah!
Thank you for sharing all your hard work, I sincerely appreciate you :)
🎼Formidable....!
Hi, there is a little mistake in 7:32 with the diagrams for Cm7b5 and Cdim7. Anyway, it's a useful lesson, Great.
Yup the diagrams should be exchanged ie... the diminished diagram is shown for c-7b5 and visa versa
Okay cool I thought I was tripping for a second I noticed that too
very interesting and well explained ! :)
Thanks Jordan!
Nice lesson! Thanks! 7.33min the Cdim7 and Cm7b5 is mixed up....

You're right. They are reversed...
Wonderful teaching for slow learner's like myself 🙏
Excellent that was cool man, thanks.
I laughed when i saw Ed Sheeran saying "only four chords?" Hahahahaha
:)
Same, brilliant.
Just for info, Cm7b5 and Cdim7 are inversed in last image of the presentation. Thank you for the lesson
Yes. I made a mistake there unfortunately...
The best way to describe, thank you.
Very clearly and understandably Presented. Thank You!
This going to make me sound great thanks.
You did something so boring and difficult to become easy
You deserve an Oscar

These videos are so good!!!!
Your kung fu is best. Haha.
Once I learned this, it was an eye opener. I'm sure that you helped a few today!
An absolutely brilliant approach... I would never think to start from the 7th but yes, this solves so much!
Glad I could help you Dragisa :)

Would be easier if you had a download of the patterns in pdf !
... loving that backing track used for the lesson. Is it available??? Or the tabs for the chords??
Yes sure Warren. You can find it on my channel here: ua-cam.com/video/G2mD0p5A7H4/v-deo.html

do you have a trick for A string root arpeggios?

As a beginner - should I be learning the cords/pentatonic first or CAGE before doing this arpeggios?
This arpeggio has not much to do with a pentatonic scale. The order I would suggest: pentatonic scale improvisation > diatonic scale improvisation > arpeggios
Very cool. Will try this tomorrow. Thanks for posting.
Great! Now tackling the approach to playing triad arpeggio pairs over a chord becomes - much clearer. Thank You!
Nice to see it's usefull!
Yo, pretty cool😊
I'm a huge fan of useful simplifications. This is a great way to construct arpeggios.
Fantastic lesson thank you!
Great lesson but way too small can't see a thing what's the point!?
Thanks a lot for this lesson. This was a major obstacle and your have simplified it so beautifully. Thank you again.
It was my pleasure Rajeev :)
Such great comments, I'll share it to big Facebook network

i am shock
I really need to learn how to read guitar notes. I can hear them I just don't know how to read them...
All vdeo that i watched in youtube,, this is crystal clear,Simple and easy to underatand,,Thank you
Thank you!
7:35 there is a mistake you have t swap Cdim7 with 7 flat 5
Absolutely right Dave.... It's hard to keep everything flawless, but should have noticed this.
