He starts his painting or drawing with an outline, our arpeggio and then he puts a splash of red, green, blue, etc, to make his painting more vibrant. The best analogy I can provide you with is to think of an artist with his pallet. You should also look at arpeggios as the outline of a scale or chord and you can add your colors to enhance them with flavor. You can play these notes in any order but traditionally they are played in succession with each other 1-3-5-7. The tonal center in a G major seventh arpeggio is G B D F#. G is the first degree, A is the second degree, B is the third degree, C is the forth degree, D is the fifth degree and so on. If you look at a G major scale the notes diatonically are G-A-B-C-D-E-F#. If you take a major scale 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 the tonal center is the 1-3-5-7 and it is colored with 2-4-6. A tonal center tells you what family you belong to and is the center of tonality. Arpeggios are also considered as tonal centers. You can do this to all the chords you know and you also can experiment with muting the strings or letting the strings ring out as you play them. This is one of the simplest ways to play an arpeggio. Then, pick each note separately and use all down strokes as you ascend and all up strokes as you descend. For instance, if you played an A minor barre chord at the 5th fret with the root note on the sixth string and instead of strumming the chord, try muting the string slightly with your picking hand (rest your picking hand slightly on the bridge of the guitar). An arpeggio is simply chord tones played seoarately. First, I would like to define what an arpeggio is in the simplest form. Throughout my book you will be exposed to many different types of arpeggios, their families, a horde of fingerings, how to use them and much more. All of the material is presented in notation and tablature. By understanding arpeggios it will immensely improve your improvising for song writing and soloing as well as creating majestic melodies and hooks. With practice and patience you will be able to have total control on the fingerboard and you will be able to execute arpeggios with fire and finesse like the best players do. Throughout this book you will be exposed to many different types of arpeggios, their families, a horde of fingerings, how to use them and much more. GUITAR ARPEGGIO ENCYCLOPEDIA, Andy Martin.
