Diatonic Arpeggios: Week One
Diatonic Arpeggios: Week One
 

In this month’s workouts, you’ll learn diatonic four-note seventh arpeggios. It’s somewhat like the skipping-thirds workout, but you’ll be putting two thirds together to create a seventh chord. The first three workouts are in the key of G in open position, while the fourth workout transposes the workouts to the key of A. In this first week, you’ll learn all the ascending four-note arpeggios, followed by its reverse: descending arpeggios from the top.
