Tapping Arpeggios (Part 2)

< BACK Subscribe Now Subscriber Login

This course expands on the previous tapping arpeggios course and adds sevenths to the triad arpeggios that we looked 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.

1. Diatonic Seventh Chords

In this lesson we’ll be examining the seventh chords that are created by harmonising the major scale.

2. Exercise #25

In this exercise we will tap the root, third, fifth and seventh for each chord, then descend. The root and third are tapped with the fretting hand, the fifth is then tapped with the picking hand, then the seventh is tapped with the fretting hand.

3. Exercise #26

This exercise is a variation on the previous one and includes the octave as well as the other chord tones. A sixteenth note rhythm is used in place of triplets in order to accommodate the extra note.

4. Exercise #27

In this exercise we’ll be concentrating on just one seventh chord type but playing the same voicing for it in all twelve keys. This is a great way to combine tapping practice with music theory.

5. Two-Octave Seventh Arpeggios

In this lesson I’ll be demonstrating how to play all of the seventh chord types as two octave arpeggios.
