Cool stuff! A couple of weeks ago I was jamming with a sax player who played the first descending major arpeggio pattern over a pop track, which sounded really great
Since watching Chad LB’s lessons I’ve been working on arpeggiating with strong voice leading through the chord changes of Countdown. It’s been helpful.
This is really good stuff! Purchased last week. I also heartily recommend Chad's warm up exercises. Got that a year ago. A major scale arpeggio exercise is presented just like at the beginning of this video. I have been through the book 2 times over the last year and doing it again now. It is amazing how muscle memory gets you over the hump. Yesterday, flawlessly played the F# major arpeggio breakdown of it all in good time. You really have to stick to this to get it down but when you do you will feel great!
Guys, I have a question regarding the best approach to tackling this book. It could sound funny, but the book is vast and at the first glance it is clear - you need to learn arpeggios but in what order? What is your practical approach to learning new patterns from this book? e.g You take 1 scale and learn ONLY this one particular scale across all other patterns? or do you pick randomly some scale and pattern and learn until you get it under your fingers? No questions regarding the content, it's clear and great, thanks for your work here, but struggling a bit with the integration approach, maybe you could share your thoughts here. Thanks!
I've been working through the Arpeggio Hand Book, I'm only on the Major section and it's been a great workout. Of all the exercises I find the 3751 a real challenge. The other patterns/inversions come quite naturally but I find that one real hard going - tough to get the sound in my ears and under my fingers. I was wondering if anyone else has the same experience with this particular pattern?
Once you get outside of the 1357 mentality and mix it up, it just takes time and practice to get it under your fingers. I did derivations of that over all 12 2-5-1 progressions. It is worth the time and effort.
Not to be bad for business, but you’ll actually get more out of the lesson by just taking the examples from this video and working them out in all 12 keys for yourself (and then transposition them to melodic/harmonic minor & w-h/h-w diminished for yourself).
Yup, put m in Excel, let it calculate and there you have it in all keys. A real timesaver. I agree doing it by ear is very beneficial as well, I do that too for smaller licks, but it's great to have it on paper and drill it too. That way it can be accessed for practice anytime And drilled into the subconcious for a lifetime by sheer repetition
great video. I have noticed all of these exercises are basically arpeggios in root position, is the eventual aim to do them all in 1st, 2nd and 3rd inversions as well?
Neat. Is it worthwhile cycling through 12 keys at the same time? It's really hard to play arpeggios chromatically (C maj 7, C# Maj 7 etc.) but was wondering if beneficial
