I see, and were you asking people on the boards for help? Or just making a statement? :p

This is a subject that comes up quite alot; use the search function of the forums and search "Arpeggios", also try searching the same thing at the Tricks section of the site. Hope it helps.

Arpegios are tone groupings. Just like chords, but played like scales. Almost all chords, both major and minor, can be played as arpegios.
As an example, play these notes in this order, up then back down.
(seventh fret -A string to start)the first notes are E,F#,G (change to D string9th fret)B,(change to G string9th fret)E,(change to B string7th fret)F#,G, A- Than back down.* note - all three note groupings such as, E,F#,G(on the A string) and the F#,G,and A(on the b string) are to be played on that same string. That is a classic example of an arpegio. Start slow and build speed to really ripe it up and down. If you noticed all the notes are tones of an E chord. Break down other chords to make them arpegios too. Remember, an arpegio is nothing more than a chord played like a scale.
Peace! :D

Arpeggios...

So... say you play an open E Chord ,If you play each note one at a time
would that be an arpeggio?

Look at the notes of the chord. In an open E chord you have, from fat e to thin e, E,B,E,G#,B,E. And in the E scale(major) ther notes are E,F#,G#,A,B,C#,D#,E. The basic formula for an arpeggio is -root, 3rd, 5th, 9th(or octave). To hear this formula and how it soungs just play an open E chord, then only play the bottom four strings. Up than back. lowest to highest, than back to lowest. That is a basic E major Arpeggio. If you know scales or can name the note of a chord, you can figure out this stuff. Remember to make a chord you play the odd numbers in a scale. 1,3rd,5th,7th,9th,11th, and so on.
