Guitar Lesson Overview

Arpeggios are powerful weapons. They can sound like a machine-gun of notes, filling up all space available. However, they are simply chord tones, so if you use them in a tasteful manner, they can really open up your playing.

In this lesson, I'm showing how to create a Dominant 7 Arpeggio, and then I show you how to play them across all 6 strings to play a cool lick. The lick sounds a bit "shreddy", since there are so many notes. Cool or no? You don't have play all these notes. Not at all. Just take a few notes from these, and blend them into your usage of scales and licks. Good staple food, and I use this concept A LOT.

Learning guitar at your own pace

I want to tell you about the guitar lesson web site JamPlay. They have kindly offered a special 7 Day Free trial to visitors of Dolphinstreet.com. I have reviewed their site, and I have to say it is VERY impressive.

There are lots of teachers and many different areas to learn from. It is well organized, and you can learn songs, techniques, etc - very complete website for learning. After 7 days, you will pay a monthly subscription continue. For the 7 trial, you don't have to give out your credit card number.

Go check it out and see what you think. Since it is completely free for 7 days, you really should test it out. You have nothing to lose. If you are interested in learning guitar online, you would be silly not to take advantage of this. If you do decide to sign up, I receive a little bonus, so this way you help support dolphinstreet as well!

I use Guitar Pro for most of my video lessons. It is a great product that will not only show you the notes in both TAB and standard notation, you will also HEAR them being played at the same you see them. Very helpful for learning! Click the link below to try the free demo.

Order Guitar Pro 6, and also get our guitar-playing method for free.

Video Clips

I have lots of gear demos too on this site. Go and take a look at some of my Guitar Videos for some examples of gear I use or have used.
