Melodic Arpeggios for Lead Guitar

This fun and easy method will unlock the mysterious world of arpeggios.

Topics include: adding the modal sound, adding the blues sound, combining chord types, chord substitution and much more.

An arpeggio is simply playing the notes of a chord, one after another, in a melodic fashion. Piano, bass, string, and horn players routinely find the study of arpeggios a staple of their learning process. But, somehow, guitarists often manage to skip over this essential musical building block. This is unfortunate because arpeggios are no more difficult to learn than scales, and once learned, can truly transform your playing. Their application is not confined to a particular style. As all music is based on chords, the study of arpeggios applies to all styles of music.

This book is designed to demystify arpeggios and demonstrate their application in a musical and easy-to-understand format. all of the material is presented within the context of various "Jam Tracks" which allows students to immediately apply new knowledge and hear for themselves why arpeggios are essential to their playing.

All of the music examples are presented in standard notation and tablature so there is no need to read music. Also includes a special demonstration and playalong CD.
