This course expands on the previous tapping arpeggios course and adds sevenths to the triad arpeggios that were covered at last time. You will find that adding sevenths to the basic major, minor and diminished chord types creates some considerably more colourful chords and arpeggios.

This lesson is an explanation of the seventh chords that are created by harmonising the major scale. This is shown in the key of C major.
In this exercise the root, third, fifth and seventh for each chord are played in an ascending, then descending pattern. A triplet rhythm is used here.
This exercise is a variation on the previous one and includes the octave. A sixteenth note rhythm is used in place of triplets in order to accommodate the extra note.
This exercise takes just one type of seventh chord but plays the same voicing in all twelve keys. This is a great way to combine tapping practice with music theory.
This lesson will demonstrate how to play all of the seventh chord types as two octave arpeggios. These are all shown starting on C.
