The four tones of a 7th chord arpeggio are always solid note choices to use as “connecting” tones. I’ve heard the great bebop guitarist Jimmy Bruno refer to the tones of 7th chord arpeggios as “the four legs that hold up a table”. When changing from chord to chord it’s a great idea at first to learn what these tones are, how they sound, and where they are on the fretboard. In this lesson, I introduce arpeggios that flow over a ii-V-I chord progression “Dmin7-G7-CMaj7” in the key of C Major. This is only one position of many on the guitar where you could apply this concept, but I hope this lesson can be a good starting point for playing multiple arpeggios in one position. If you are interested in examining one of these three chords more closely please check out Lesson 7: G Mixolydian, the G7 Arpeggio and Four G7 Chord Voicings Lesson 8: The C Major Scale, C Major 7 Arpeggio, and Six C Major Chord Voicings and or Lesson 9: D Dorian, The D minor 7 Arpeggio and Seven D Minor Chord Voicings. Being an individual and finding your own voice is not an easy task, but it is extremely important in the world of improvisational music so please be patient and try your best to come up with your own ideas. I hope you enjoy this lesson
