Hi everyone.I believe that you guys are used to sweep technique, and in this column I am going to give an introduction about arpeggios.
Arpeggios are chords notes played melodicly using sweep picking or any other technique.Chords can be formed by 3 or more notes.When we have 3 notes it is called triad,when we have four notes we have a tetrad,and we also can also have more than 4 notes with added note.
On this column we are going to talk about triads.
a)Triad:
Triad is formed by 3 notes and it can be major, minor, augmented and diminished.
Major: R 3 5 Minor: R 3b 5
Augmented:R 3 5# Diminshed:R 3b 5b
|
1(T) 2 3 4 5 6 7+ 8
|
|
|
C
scale:
|
R.......
3.. 5
|
|
C
major:
|
C.......
E.. G
|
If you want to get a minor, augmented and diminished triad you have to change just the interval.
|
1(T) 2 3 4 5 6 7+ 8
|

C
scale:
|
R.......
3b.. 5

C
minorr:
|
C.......
Eb.. G

Exemplo:
Now we are going to study triads in their inversions,being:
Root Position Triad: R 3 5
1st Inversion Triad: 3 5 R
2nd Inversion Triad: 5 R 3
See the possible three positions bellow
See ya,
