What Arpeggios Are

Description

I am just going to clear a few things up about arpeggios. All arpeggios are
just the break down of chords, so arpeggios are chords. Allot of people are
familiar with Yngwie's double octave A minor starting on string A fret 12.
That is an Am in 2 octaves, and there are many more variations than just
that. Oh, to change key just shift it. To easily figure out were the a minor
arpeggios lie is to follow chord constructions or as I call them instructions.
A minor is in the construction of A,C,E and A major is A,C#,E.

Here are the arpeggio constructions.

Wow, that is a lot isn’t it. Another way to perform arpeggios is to hold a
chord and hit individual string in what ever pattern you want.
