arpeggios

[beginner]

what are actually arpeggios, what sence do they have, what´s so hard about them? I´m just improving my alternate picking with some septatonic(if these word exists, i don´t know, but i know this scales have 2 more notes than penta..) scales, should i first finish them exercising before i should learn arpeggios?

Arpeggios are just notes in a chord in succession. They're not hard at all! :D

And along with your pentatonic minor, I'd look into just some major and minor scales, and then all of the chord inversions you can find, study those, and arpeggios will be a piece of cake. There are things like arpeggios you can do with pentatonics, but they're hard.
