I'm glad You read all these books and share the knowledge, thank You!

Ive seen this before as an exercise for vocalists...very impressive. Keep up the good work!

Such a cool sounding excercise!

Thank you, just what I needed! Coming from sax where, as you stated, the "feel" of each key is quite different due to different fingerings and helps me to visualize what I'm playing. As I've been putting more time into learning what I'm doing on guitar I keep seeing shapes rather than notes and this exercise will help me to understand what I'm playing. Also, descending arpeggios and other root movements are things I'm used to on sax that I will incorporate into guitar practice.

Thank you for this video. I've been trying to learn jazz solo and this video help me a lot.

Good knowledge you are sharing. Very grateful to you.

The underlying thing here is an initial strength but a long term weakness when learning guitar including rock and jazz where we just move shapes and patterns but don't know the notes, this is an excellent lesson and moves away from just trying to learn the arpeggios by rote, gives me a musical concept as well, thank you Mikko Also add I'm trying to adopt a new behaviour in single note playing that I do not play a note if I don't know what it is, try it it's hard ! .

Thanks Mikko this is a great lesson and a real challenge in a good way

very useful, Thank you Mikko!

very cool ideas! thank you for sharing

Very helpful - trying it out now!

Great job Mikko! Greetins from Argentina

This is fun and very helpful. I love arps !

Learning all my scales on the piano was the best thing I ever did for my guitar playing.

Great video man

I like it when you fuck up. Gives me comfort.

Excellent and challenging exercise. It would be interesting to apply the same concept changing the interval between starting notes of each arpeggio (whole tone, minor third, etc). Greetings from Bogotá, Colombia.

Thank you.

I think the guitar problem with learning shapes will never be solved... especially exercises because their not musical..its be to apply these to improv right away in my opinion. Great vid!

Singing (or saying) the note names out loud, or in your head, as you play, is a really really good practice.

Come on Mikko, we know this stuff, we know our arpeggios! 😁

AHHHHHH you just destroyed the only one advantage we have over pianists !!! ;)

👍 exercices to play deferents scales and tonalites on the same place

Dang just watching the video and no guitar close by. Makes my brain go into overdrive.

chord tones 💖

Insead of skipping a string, (in order to break habbits), you could take the harmonic concept from a prievious video and put in a 9th (or some other extension) instead of the root, 3rd, 5th or 7th. So that your arpeggio becomes e.g. 2 3 5 7 or 1 2 5 7 etc... Not sure if you’ll find anything interesting but it sure makes me think more about the notes. Oh and nice video! :)

Holy Smokes, ... Cool 😃

One good way to study arpeggios is doing 4th circles: m7-7-7M chords

Don't jump the gun, Mikko. I don't know who your clientele is/are, but I don't care if they already know arpeggios. I don't, and I just fake it when I do. Sometimes I get away with it. Mostly not. As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter what I already know or don't know. Many times it's hard enough for me to get the timing right, and the feel I want, with spacing between just 3 or 4 notes. Too bad I can't go back to high school with you as a teacher and start all over. Furthermore, I'll give an example of the kind of spacing I'm talking about. Listen to the very beginning of one of my favorite tunes of all time, Line Games, by Pat Martino and his band. The song starts out with one striking chord and drums. Then those, I guess, 1-2-3-4 notes intro of Line Games. When I try it, I mostly just blurt those sort of bass notes together, without the spacing and without that solid feel. You try to go slower and it's pointless and doesn't come out right. I don't know anything about music so I haven't even dared to attempt trying Line Games. I managed to get a fee that sounded right from his scale type of thing once. But that's about it.

It is amazing Mikko of how your brain is connected to your fingers and move them accordingly, amazing how a God Almighty created us with this incredible mind of ours to develop such connections, brain-member, brain-sight, brain-decision, brain-action, I know this is not church, but, everybody needs some encouragement at times, doesn't it. Joe.

Hi Mikko You look sometimes like a professor...A True jazz Professor..I am glad I am one of your greedy students...like the glasses smurf whos ia obedient to Huge Smurf with the red hat...in the Smurfes

A major 7 arpeggio to Gflat major 7 arpeggio....instant Phillip Glass.

Good stuff . Nice guitar sound . Which one , guitar and amp ?

You have done reviews on so many great books .curious why you by-passed the tried and true Berklee Guitar Method .is there a reason for that.. (Lage Lund won a scholarship there). At Berklee the arp. spellings and fingerings are to be memorized by reading them. The exercise you shared is very useful and fun ..Thank you!

HI MIKKO I do stilll stress the totall different guigar experience when it. Omes to arpeggios when the fingers are connected to tje intervs and when we are using two fi gers and notes on one strii g for easier right hand I do prefer myself to change pksition during those things.... MY WISH IS That the worth hidden in those letters is cauvjt by any one who is a treasure diverr in jazz...

hej mikko. nu har jag lärt mig grund arpeggios. har du något tips hur man gör licks av dem? du blander noterna i skalan och arpeggios elr hur? mvh Harald

How about not going up by half steps but picking a (any) note from a key that the chord was in? E.g. if you played a FM7 arpegio, you could go to a Gm or a BbM7 from the 3rd if you think of it as the tonic of F, or to Dm7 or G7 from the 3rd if you think of it as the IV chord of C. It might come closer to things you would actually want to play...

Hi Mikko, i'm just starting to learn arpeggios, would you recomend learning them in relation with a method like caged?? Or should i figure them out based on intervals? Great video :)

Sorry for asking again, but what the name of another book, not Ligon blue book, but another?

Hello, Mikko! What the name of another book at the beginning?

When you changed the note on E string how did you chose the chord to arpeggio?

Jim Hall used to put masking tape around pairs of strings for practice.

Great video, but, at the end, even when you "remove" strings, you have to learn new shapes/forms, right? So, it is all about shapes. :) We should have more "boxes", not just few, i guess... :)

You just need to know where the root is and match it with the corresponding shape. Not really sure how it’s possible to think of EVERY note that you’re playing unless you play at snail pace 100% of the time.

To me, I'm learning the sound of the note, not its name. Am I missing the point?

jazzist dont know arpeggios give sadness

Huh? If it doesn't translate back into a chord, I have no idea what the arpeggios you're playing are. Telling me this one starts on the third or fifth or major 7th is not enough for me to see what transformation of what chord it is or isn't. The logic of what you are doing is missing from you topic statement.
