    This document provides 4 examples of arpeggio licks that can be used in playing. The first example demonstrates 4 arpeggios using C major, B diminished, A minor, and G major shapes. The second uses string skipping arpeggios based on E minor, G major, F# minor, and D# diminished. The third is based on the main theme from the song "Touch the Sky" using E major, C# minor 7#5, and B add9 arpeggios. The final example uses extended arpeggios based on F#-11, G add9 #11, and smaller triad arpeggios.

    Arpeggio Licks

    October 8, 2009
    Hello Everyone! This lesson, I'm going to give you some fun arpeggio licks that I use in my
    playing. The lesson is adapted from my first instructional video Virtuoso Rock Fusion
    Concepts. I hope that you will learn from them and make up your own arpeggio licks. Be sure
    you follow the fingerings above the notation. Lets get started...

    Example 1
    We have four arpeggios from the key of C major on the first three strings. The first arpeggio
    is a C major (C, E, G) the second one is B diminished (B, D, F) the third one is Am (A, C, E)
      and the last one is G Major (G, B, D). These are some of my favorite arpeggio shapes, you
    can really get these flying up and down the neck. I don't use sweep picking for these, I
    alternate pick the notes and use a pull off on the first string. Make sure you move these
    shapes around the neck to different keys.

    Listen

       
    Example 2
    Now we are going to do string skipping arpeggios. This is a really cool way to play
    arpeggios. They are played on the first four strings, but we don't even play the B string. The
      first arp is a Em arp (E, G, B), the second is G major (G, B, D) the third is a F#m (F#, A, C#)
    and the last one is D# dim (D#, F#, A). I use hammer-ons and pull-offs to make them more
    fluent sounding. The progression is based off an E dorian scale, except the D#dim which is
    from the E harmonic minor scale.

    Listen

       
      Example 3
    This is the main theme from my song "Touch the Sky" from my Full Circle cd. The arpeggios
    are based off the E major Scale (E, F#, G#, A, B, C#, D#) in 6/8 time. The first arp is a E
    maj9 (E, G#, B, D#, F#). The second is a C#m7#5 arpeggio, (C#, E, A, B) and the last one is
    a B add9 arpeggio (B, D#, F#, C#). I don't use any sweep picking for this one either, I use
    alternate picking.

    Listen

       
    Example 4
    Our last lick starts off with some extended arpeggios. In the first bar we have a F#-11
    arpeggio (F#, A, C#, E, G#, B). I rearranged the notes so it drapes across the neck. The next
    arp is G add9 #11 ( G, A, B, C#, D), which is based off the G lydian scale. For this one, I also
      spread the notes across the neck—pretty cool huh? The second measure uses smaller triad
    arps: A Maj (A, C#, E) and G maj (G, B, D). The last two arps are Bm7 (B, D, F#, A) and
    F#m7 (F#, A, C#, E).The last measure of this lick sounds great over an A Dom11 chord
    because the notes in the triads A and G make up that chord. Again, no sweeping is used, but
    feel free to experiment.
