Rob Schumann: In this third segment, we are going to take the arpeggio fingerings that we have just looked at and apply them to a diatonic key. So let's go with G major or E minor. And we will start with the G major arpeggio, so we will be applying a major arpeggio shape with our route note being on G, this is on the fifth fret of the fourth string, so we will use that major shape that we have looked at.
So that's fifth fret of the fourth string, first finger going to the fourth fret of the third string, fourth finger going to the seventh fret of the third string, first finger stretching back to the third fret of the first string and fourth finger going to the seventh fret of the first string. We can also play that same arpeggio with the same fingering down here on the tenth fret of the fifth string. So you can hear how those sound the same.
For our two chord this is will be an A minor. So we can go to the seventh fret of the fourth string starting with the second finger again and we will have to do our minor alteration of the arpeggio. So I have second finger, seventh fret, fourth string; stretching to the first finger on the fifth fret, third string; hammering onto the ninth fret, third string; going to the fifth fret, first string and then using the third fret, third finger rather on the eight fret of the first string.
We can also play that same arpeggio here on the fifth string, should use the third finger that makes it a little faster. So it's two ways to play that two chord. When I get to the three chord that will be a B minor, so I want to start on the ninth fret of the fourth string and we use that same minor arpeggio shape. Set string on the ninth fret, then on the third string, go to the seventh fret and eleventh fret. Then going up to the seventh and tenth on the first string.
Now we will be on the C major chord, I can play this two places as well. I can have the route on the fourth string, tenth fret and play the major fingering just going from the tenth fret to the ninth and twelfth on the third string, to the eighth and twelfth on the first string.
I can also play that down here on the fifth string hitting the third, the route note on the third fret that can be a little bit more difficult because of the big stretch because the frets are larger down here. Then we will be on the five chord and we can hit this up on the twelfth fret on the fourth string hitting the twelfth fret, fourth string; eleventh fret, third string to fourteenth fret to tenth and fourteenth on the first string. Or we can also hit it down here with the route note being on the fifth fret of the fifth string. So we have got two more chords to go, we will hit those in our next segment and then look at in a musical application for this technique.
Jeff Carlisi: Hi! I am Jeff Carlisi and I am back with you to kind of take a part, hold on loosely and give you some of the, give you the road map on how the sound was put together. The intro starts on the seventh fret, we are just basically using the one and the five, the B note and the F# .
