After hearing Justin discuss arpeggios some time ago (Triad Arpeggios | JustinGuitar.com), I realized that if I wanted to take my musicianship up a notch, this was the way to go. After about 20-25 frustrating hours, I finally made some inroads today. Itās just a start, but what potential- Itās changed everything!
Hey Gary,
Yeah mate, arpeggios, along with triads and CAGED, have been key in my development over the last 6-8 months. I practice/ use them every day. Theyāve been central in really demystifying the guitar, and have opened up the whole fretboard as one continuous structure of intervals. Lots still to learn, but lots of fun too
Cheers, Shane
Hi Gary,ā¦
And Shaneā¦Me too,
Although I havenāt gone further than the E and A shape of this one and I have to do some serious work on āthe arpeggiatorāā¦but thatās more like work

Greetings,Rogier
Edit: For those interested, this next lesson started understanding arpeggios for meā¦
And the last lesson in this module is the Arpeggiator (use wisely and in moderation )
STARTING ARPEGGIOS IN THE BLUES
Spot on - you defined their āsuper-powersā perfectly; demystifying and expansive. It feels like a secret door has magically revealed itself and opened a crack. Iāve started practicing them every day, and will until someday, I hope, Iāll be able to use them instinctively. Coupled with the other tools you mentioned, itās ā way coolā. Frankly, Iām overwhelmed by the possibilities.
